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.

Oh hi Luisa. It is really me. I was just, um, checking if you would like to have me stay with you for a while. Just between us sisters.

(She doesn’t want to sound very gloomy at the moment while she nervously twists her pigtails with her fingers, trying to stay strong for her while they are all trapped in this dimension. At the very least she could try to reach out to her and try to understand her more.)

[ It's been a while since Luisa had seen her sister like this. Even before she'd gotten her own gift, Isabela had already been busy with hers, and it was difficult to remember a time when they had really spent time together. It felt like their powers had always just been a part of them, and they were always so busy as a result.

Hesitating for a moment, she then glances around her room. ]
You can, if you want. I know it's kind of...dreary in here, though.

[ Her room had always been built for function more than anything. ]

Hey, it is alright. I wouldn’t mind staying in here with you today.

(There is no way that Isabela is not miss out on the chance to hang out with her sister, even if it is inside a miserable mirror dimension. She wastes no time in joining Luisa by her side. They don’t usually have a lot of time to spend with each other back at home as they’re often doing tasks within the encanto and in the family.

So it is very rare for the two of them to hang out often and it is even rarer for them to remember a time when they do spend time together as a family. Oh how one wishes that things and times were a bit simpler and not as hectic as their old lives have been.)


I don’t think that your room is that dreary. To be honest, I always thought that my room was the most dreadful with how awfully perfect looking things had to be for a long time. I couldn’t be allowed to play around with whatever colors, designs or plants I wanted to use in there when I first got it.

[ Luisa can't help frowning a little. Even knowing how her older sister struggled with perfection, she hadn't realized that Isabela had problems with her room as well. ]

At least your room is bright and colorful. It's like a room for a princess. [ Luisa sits up a bit, looking around the stone walls again. ] My room was meant to be sturdy to help with my strength...but it always made me feel like the dragon in a story.
senorita_perfecta: (Confused)

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-04-22 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that is definitely true. It was quite colorful though not in the way I would have wanted to be. Abuela seems to be the most picky with me over everyone else, yourself included. That may have extended to room decor too. Can’t grow any plants I could have wanted to keep, can’t mess around with throwing in any colors I wish to play with whenever I’m in the mood for, not even getting to decor or rearrange the room whenever I want to,

In a way my room’s old appearance was like a prison too as I couldn’t be able to express myself in any way I have wished for.

(In many ways, she did envied her sisters for having something she in her youth would have wanted to trade her own gift and beauty for. Luisa was very strong and dedicated while Mirabel was very creative to her core and didn’t really need to worry about having a gift that would have put her into bigger scrutiny the way she had suffered from.

And even if Isabela tried her best to impress Alma or anybody honestly, keeping up with people’s expectations and trying too hard to be perfect was just too much for her to handle and bear growing up.)

[ Luisa can't help a frown. ] I guess I never really thought of it that way. I was...always jealous how nice your room looked. [ Finally lifting her head, she glances around the stone walls of her own room. ] Mine always feels so hard and dark. And I get it, since I had to learn to control my strength. But I always hated it, growing up.

I just...wanted to feel pretty too.
senorita_perfecta: (Sad)

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-05-06 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair there is some truth to it. It did look nice and I didn’t mind that for some time before it got very boring to look at. Just imagine spending several hours growing the same kinds of plants you’re restricted to and being increasingly tired doing it all over again for years.

(She is just doing what she can to listen to other people’s problems even if they may not be able to see that they’re just that amazing in their own way just yet. It wasn’t easy being the eldest grandchild and the golden standard of the family at the same time as she has come to find out and she is hoping to extend a hand and reach out to them as much as she could.)

That is a very understandable wish, Luisa. I mean, a lot of people would have loved to be pretty or handsome on the outside as in the inside. A really relatable wish for sure. Though a part of me did wished that I would have been very much giftless so I didn’t have to be under the spotlight for so long like how Mirabel didn’t have one so she didn’t have to be scrutinized by everyone compared to what everyone else in the family had to in some form or fashion.

At least you two have more freedom to live a life you could dream for while I wasn’t afforded that luxury growing up.

[ Luisa's body goes rigid at that, her fingers tightening as they tangle in her skirt. ]

...Freedom?

[ A sudden rush of anger surges through her, hot and burning as she looks up at Isabela. ]

What freedom? I didn't have time to do anything because I was always working. I was too busy fixing and moving and doing everything for everyone else. When would I have gotten to live any kind of life that I wanted, when I was always so busy from morning to late night?

[ She takes a few breaths, trying to calm the buzzing in the back of her mind. But the words kept coming out before she can stop them. ]

I get having to be perfect was a lot of pressure on you. I'll never understand what it was like. But don't you dare think that the rest of us weren't suffering either. Mira already told us that, didn't she? She was miserable without a gift, and she wanted so badly to feel like part of the family.

I may not have had to be "perfect" like you. But that doesn't mean that I had any more choice than you did in what I could be. You had to be perfect. I had to be unbreakable.

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-05-10 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
(Oh dear, she really hates to see Luisa feeling rather hopeless in times like this. Isabela has never seen Luisa losing her temper before so it does feel really rough on her. It hurts her so much that there is nothing much she can do to fix anything or so she thinks.

She could have sworn that tears are starting to form in her eyes and trying to escape her right now. She honestly thinks that she feels horrible for not being able to listen to Luisa properly.)


Um… Luisa, there is nothing wrong with having really bad days and vulnerable moments. I, I, I,… I don’t know what to say besides trying to repeat whatever Mira would have told us. And despite her meaning well, Abuela did unfortunately hurt us in some form by pushing us beyond our limits even if we can’t handle them at once.

Oh Luisa… I’m so sorry, I could have done so much more to help you. I’m just a horrible older sister who couldn’t be able to do anything much to help her own siblings during their worst times.

(As the tears begin to slip away from her eyes over her perceived failure, something is happening in the mirror dimension that might tip off either sister.

Isabela’s gift, which hasn’t been in use since the most recent weird weekend, started to grow some daisies on the rocky ground as both sisters continue to talk but haven’t reached a proper conclusion so far. Not only that, neither sister seem to pay attention to those daisies appearing out of nowhere.)

[ Luisa draws up a bit short, taking in a breath when she sees her sister crying. A part of her feels guilty for making Isa cry, but...there were things that still needed to be said it seems.

Even so, maybe she could have said them in a better way, to not upset her older sister. But the words were out now, and she releases a slow breath to calm herself down, not wanting to speak in anger anymore. ]


...you're not a horrible sister, Isa. We all had our own problems, and we just...didn't see what else was going on. I wasn't able to help you or Mira either, after all.
senorita_perfecta: (So Tired)

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-05-15 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
(The tears still keep on coming as she tries to wipe them off from her eyes. She knows that Luisa didn’t mean to say those words in a harsh tone but sometimes people can lose their temper fairly quickly even among the kindest souls.

The emotional stress each of them went through is still felt even when they’re far from their world. The daisies meanwhile persist to grow from the ground.)


Yes it is true. I also thought about that as well. With what all we went through growing up, the emotional pain we went through prevented us from trying to get to each other during very stressful times even if we’re physically nearby.

I felt like I constantly fail both you and Mira in all those years, it was that hard not to see what the other person is feeling and trying to help them out.

[ Feeling a bit guilty for causing her sister to cry, Luisa slips off her bed and crosses the distance to where Isa is, before giving her older sister a careful but firm embrace. ]

It was rough on all of us, and we all made mistakes.
senorita_perfecta: (Conversation)

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-05-21 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
(The firm careful hug is very much needed after all that angst being spilled out. Isa could feel the arms of her sister embracing her while she attempts to stop the tears from welling up her eyes.)

*sniff, sniff* Oh Luisa. That is really good to hear. It is understandable that mistakes are bound to happen even if we have the best intentions and the biggest hearts out there. *sniff, sniff*

[personal profile] neverbreaks 2024-05-23 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ Glancing up at her sister, she offers a small smile. ] All we can really do is try to do better next time, right?
senorita_perfecta: (Default)

[personal profile] senorita_perfecta 2024-05-23 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah exactly! The best we can do is to learn from those mistakes and improve ourselves so we can help each other during the good times and the bad times. That is what family is about, right?

(Isabela is feeling a little better now that the tensions and grief are starting to calm down. It has been a rough day for all of them considering how the Mirror Dimension is showing to people things they try to hide from everyone else.

But at the same time, it is of a good timing that they can talk about some of the stress they had back in their world (even if they can get very emotional in the process) and perhaps they can find a way to overcome such problems in the long run.)
