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.

[ Luisa is silent for a long moment, watching him with an unreadable expression. Then she laughs a little, though it lacks any actual warmth. ]

Prestige...The only kind of prestige we might have is back home in our world.

[ And maybe she's used to that, used to people wanting to be friends with her because of who her family is. Or she was, until she arrived in this place. ]

...I don't...I don't really mind that you kept secrets, you know? [ As she speaks, she slowly steps closer to the wall he's still chained to. ] I think, the truth is, I was trying to leave some of my old life behind too. Because here...it doesn't always matter who we were back home, does it? We can be different people here if we wanted to, because sometimes so much of us change when we come here.

[ Reaching his chains, she takes them and breaks them as easily as snapping a piece of thread, and carefully eases him to the ground. ]

I don't care if you kept secrets from me...because I was keeping things to myself too. Because...I just wanted to be someone who could actually have friends.
