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.

Whoa! This change in scenery really blows Harry’s mind indeed. Regardless of how or what happened from navigating an unsafe mine to being back to Goldenrod City, it is a nice change that is much needed. Seeing the Eevees coming for them is always tugging on his heartstrings whenever he gets to meet them.

“You’re very much welcomed, Radley,” Harry nods in relief as he speaks.

[crystalmaster]

Some of the Eevees rub Harry in greeting too.

Radley smiles. He is at peace now. He will probably go try to help some of the others who must still be stranded in their darkest thoughts and feelings.

[phoenixwiz]

Harry couldn’t help wanting to pet each and every one of the Eevees as they come to greet him as well. They are so happy to see that he and Radley have come back from the Mirror Dimension and he is just as glad to see that his friend is now at peace. He isn’t sure if there are any other people who need his help to find peace but, if there is any one out there, he will go find them within a heartbeat.

“Oh hey guys! It’s great to see you guys again.”

[crystalmaster]

The Eevees warble happily.

Radley smiles as he holds several of them. "Thank you," he says sincerely again.

[phoenixwiz]

“You’re more than welcome anytime, my friend. What matters right now is that we got back to this world safely and things should get back to normal eventually.”

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah." Radley frowns a bit. "I'm probably not the only one in trouble, judging by how these things go. I'd probably better see if anyone else needs help."

[phoenixwiz]

“It sounds like that other people were dragged into this mess as well,” Harry nods in agreement, “I’m also going to try to find some more people and see if I can try to help them out too. We just can’t leave them to be stuck in that dimension on their own.”

[crystalmaster]

Radley nods. "Okay then. Good luck to both of us." He smiles.

[phoenixwiz]

“Same here as well. Let’s go out there and see what we can do for everyone still trapped in.”

[crystalmaster]

Radley hugs his Eevees and sets them down. "We'll hopefully be back soon," he tells them, and prepares to re-enter the mirror dimension with Harry.

[phoenixwiz]

“Are you ready to get back to the dimension and help some people to get out of there?” Harry asks Radley as they both face the dimension’s entrance head on.

[crystalmaster]

"I hope so," Radley says. He wonders a bit if he'll be able to do much. What if he runs into people he doesn't really know? People who don't trust him? How will he possibly help them?

He's still willing to try, though.

"We'll probably end up in different places when we pass through," he says. "So ... maybe we can meet up when it's all over."

[phoenixwiz]

“Yeah, that would be a good idea. I have a feeling that we’ll have to split up on the way there to find anyone in there since the dimension is likely to take the shape of whatever internal problems they have to deal with in their worlds, depending on who is trapped inside.”

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah, that's definitely what happened to me," Radley says. "And we probably can't use our Gears to communicate since we'll need to focus on the people's problems. So ... be careful in there."
