victory_road | 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.

Luna nodded.

"It can be hard to hear and see the positive things about yourself," she said. She didn't know all of Harry's history, but a lot of people suffered from low self-esteem, even if they had a positive upbringing.

"But, I hope you're able to someday," she continued. "You deserve it."

“Yeah, I thought so as well. That is really refreshing to hear it from someone like you. I just need to believe in myself and whatever positive things people notice and see in me,” he reflects on what he and Luna have spoken so far and noticing how much he needs to work on his self esteem and self worth.

"Your friends see it in you," Luna said. "Me, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny... trust in us."

He simply nods in response as he speaks, “You’re definitely right, I should have placed just as much trust in you guys more often as much as you have placed all your trust in me.”

That got a soft smile.

"And I do trust you, Harry."

She certainly did! He was a good friend and a good person. He was important to her and had always been kind. She believed in him.

“That is true, it is always good to know that very well to heart. Oh speaking of which, I was wondering about the tea right now. Nothing that having a nice warm drink couldn’t do to uplift the mood,” Harry muses on, relieved to hear from her that he never fails in being a good trusted friend that anyone dreams of having in spite of everything.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" She got up to go check on it. Silly her. She'd forgotten to set the whistle on the kettle. It had started to boil down, but there was still enough water to make two cups of tea. She carefully set everything else up, and brought the tray back to the tiny table. "There we are." She chuckled.

“Oh why thank you so much, I greatly appreciate: it is really nice to have some drinks and some company to talk with right about now,” Harry chimes as he sees Luna returning from fetching the kettles and bringing in the cups of tea to the table.

"Of course." This brought a smile to her face. Honestly, it had been so long since she'd seen this home, and with everything, being able to share a cuppa with one of her best friends in her home was refreshing. She looked content.

"I know this is a dream," she said softly, "but it makes memories about this place nice again." She had plenty of good memories already, but her more recent ones, having come back after being kidnapped to see what had happened...

This made it good again.

"Thank you, Harry."

“You’re very much welcome. I am just trying to be a good friend, that’s what friends are for: being there for each other through the good times and the bad times,” he happily smiles back at her as he speaks to her.

And with that... the dream began to fade... the goal having been reached.
