Event: The Reveal Glass

[indigo_league]

Across the Pokémon world, characters may have spotted a falling star last night. Or at least, one would think that's what it was: a naturally occurring phenomenon, rather than a legendary artifact. Specifically, the Reveal Glass fell to earth during a fight among a group of legendaries started by the return of a long-lost family member. But it's probably best to leave them to handle all that themselves, while your characters deal with other consequences.

The Reveal Glass shattered upon impact, and the shards scattered throughout Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands… And made their way into the hearts of your characters. But bleeding isn't the concern here. Instead, the impact will hit when a character first looks into any reflective service. An eerie feeling hits them as they're transported to the Mirror Dimension.

While this realm can be many different things for different characters, one thing is always true: It is a place of honesty, where true selves are revealed. Those struck by a shard will find themselves facing truths they are no longer able to hide, and now must accept. Fortunately enough, even those who haven't been struck will be able to enter the Mirror Dimension during this event via a reflective surface to offer help. By the end of the 29th, things will return to normal. Characters will be back in the usual Pokémon world and their hearts will be rid of the shards, but time is strange in the Mirror Dimension, and the experience may feel like it goes on far longer than a day. Or, maybe that's just the emotional exhaustion.

The Reveal Glass plot is here. You can swing by the event info post for additional details and FAQ, and play out your characters’ enforced therapy on this post. As with most VR events, this plot is entirely optional and your characters don't need to take part at all.

[ Adaine's eyes are alight with silvery blue light, but it fades as soon as she learns from her Locate Creature spell that Arianwen is not within one thousand feet. When she finally turns to greet Riz, it's not without recognition or relief. Even here, where she's abandoned all pretense and given in to her most wrathful desires, Riz is still one of her closest friends.

And, more than that, he's useful to her. ]

Riz, thank gods you're here. You can help me find her.

[ She abandons her spot at the center of the clearing to join Riz's side. ]

We need to search for tracks. Footsteps, followed by a multitude of handprints.

[nightyorb]

Okay.

[Riz doesn't need to think about that answer. Any of the Bad Kids could wake him up in the middle of the night --or, more likely, tear him away from his case boards-- and solicit his help, and he would give it. Certainly, there would be some questions, but those would be to help him figure out how to help, not whether or not he will.]

Who are we looking for exactly?

[Had Adaine, perhaps, found out who had been behind their abduction to the strange pokemon world?]

[furiousfists]

[ Adaine looks at Riz for a moment, sidelong. It's not like him to ask stupid questions. So either he's been hit by a Feeblemind spell, or he somehow actually doesn't know.

She doesn't have time for this. ]

Do keep up, Riz. We're looking for my mother. I want to finish her off like I did my dad.

[nightyorb]

[Riz's eyes go wide, both at what Adaine is saying, and at her sharp tone. It's one he has heard before, but never with him as the recipient.]

Your mother? Wait, what does she have to do with all of this?

[Had she been behind the whole pokemon world experience? Riz knew she was a powerful wizard, certainly powerful enough to planeshift individuals if needed, but somehow it doesn't seem to track. From what little he knew of Adaine and Aelwyn's mother, she never did anything that didn't personally benefit her and how could she benefit from Adaine and him being in a world of cute animals?

Plus, wasn't her magic gone?]

[furiousfists]

What doesn't she have to do with it? With everything?

[ Riz may be able to infer at this point that Adaine isn't really thinking about their current predicament, here in the Pokemon world. The Adaine that is present here is concerned only with the wrongs that were done to her back in Spyre. ]

I need to find her and make her pay for what she did to me, and to Aelwyn. And after I make her pay, I'll make the rest of Fallinel pay, for supporting her.
