Event: The Reveal Glass
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.

...True.
[It's enough of a truth that Ryan takes a few steps to close the gap between them, a small sign that he's at least thinking about making that effort.]
I'm...supposed to be using this less. [He gestures up to the mask.] But I screwed up, and I picked it back up over something stupid. And being here just means everyone gets to know how much of a screw-up I actually am.
no subject
You made a mistake. [No reason to deny it. That won't actually help anything here.] Everyone does. Everyone slides back into old habits sometimes.
[He's one to talk.]
That's all I see. Someone who just made a mistake - but knows it. That's... harder a lot of the time than anything else.
no subject
I shouldn't still be making mistakes like this though, especially over something so dumb...I'm just going to keep screwing up like this over and over and that so shitty.
[It's shitty of him and shitty for anyone else to have to deal with - shitty for Shiro to have to deal with, but without the mask on the words just tumble out.]
no subject
[He says it almost apologetically. Like this is somehow his fault. That Ryan's issue is due to something he'd done.]
I say that all the time - to myself. [He'd said it about himself even recently. Privately. To Allura. To Dimitri.] Maybe not about what you're going through... but still.
People keep telling me "it takes time". That telling myself I "should be over it"... it just makes it harder to go forward.
no subject
[He frowns, trying to figure out the words he wants.]
...that's dumb. People don't just get over stuff. They just sort of stuff it down where no one can see it anymore.
[Or, you know. They talk about it. But that isn't really on the table of either of them most of the time, is it? Ryan sighs.]
I mean...how many times can a person talk something out with someone before they get sick of them?
no subject
[But there it is, Ryan nailing the problem he has so often. How long before people get sick of hearing about your issues? How long before they decide you're too much for them. That they don't want to listen anymore.]
[How long before they decide they're done?]
But they keep telling me to talk. Even though I don't feel like it changes much.
no subject
[They're both sort of dancing around what their specific problems are, but a connection's been made. Someone gets how hard it is.]
...Most of the time people get sick of me. Min-Gi doesn't now and I know that, but...
[He shrugs.]
It's dumb. It shouldn't freak me out this much anymore. It shouldn't be scary to like...talk about stuff, I mean.
no subject
[But that's the heart of it, isn't it? That if they talk about their issues, even what those issues are, it will backfire. Won't it?]
Just because it 'shouldn't' doesn't mean it stops. Doesn't mean it doesn't get out of your head.
And I know... I can say that I'm not sick of you at all, but, that doesn't erase it either, does it?
no subject
No. But it's not you or anything. Everyone's gotten sick of me at one point or another so, you know. Like, literally everyone, so. Odds are...
[He waves a hand, not really feeling up to finishing that thought out loud. Shiro can probably tell where he was going.]
no subject
Everyone I've ever... been with leaves. Literally leaves here. So...
[The smile is still there, still as empathetic.] So I get the feeling. Why bother trying, yeah?
no subject
He could go deeper into it, outline his parents and all his exes and everyone who's ever treated him like he wasn't worth sticking around for. But...he thinks about that question. Why bother?
There's only one honest answer, even if he thinks it's a little pathetic of him to admit.]
...Because being alone sucks.
no subject
[It's a short, quiet little huff of a laugh. Not even really a real one. He's not laughing at Ryan. Far from it.]
[He reaches out, and clasps him on the shoulder, gently.]
Yeah. Yeah, it really does.
