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.

No. No, that's... Why I asked.

Something weird's been going on, for sure. This is just a little... Extra weird?

[epitaffio]

[Doppio sighs. He also seems to huff. it doesn't sound like a blend of sounds so much as it seems like two distinct sounds at once.]

Well... Where'd you come in from? I'm kind of lost...

[pennyloafer]

You and me both... I don't even think I know how I got here, from the gym.

[epitaffio]

The... gym? You don't mean Morty's, do you?

[Probably not. Something tells him he'd be lucky to hear they were in the same city at all.]

[pennyloafer]

[Louie hesitates again, confused-- Though at least this time, it's a confusion he's more used to with Doppio.]

The gym I live at, Dopp. Armin's gym?

[Although, to be fair, maybe this isn't a memory thing. It's not like he announced his move publicly, and maybe he didn't mention it to Doppio?]

[epitaffio]

[It is absolutely not a memory thing - not this time. No, it's pure wishful thinking, because Doppio's expression sinks into despair at Louie's answer.]

Armin's? Then how the hell did we end up in the same place...?!

[Well, half of Doppio's expression sinks into despair, at least. The mismatched shards show something closer to... puzzlement. It would probably look less distracting if that narrowed green eye was looking in the same direction as Doppio's wide brown eye.]

[pennyloafer]

[Oh that's so weird to look at! Louie shudders.]

No clue, but honestly, I don't think that's the weirdest thing about this right now. Are you sure you're okay, dude?

[epitaffio]

... What do you mean?
