Event: Mirror Image

[trainmasters]

Who: everyone!
When: Day 19 evening and on
Where: outside

[As darkness falls in the jungle, an unusually chill breeze rustles through the trees. In its wake is silence, the purified fauna going quiet as if in dread.

Is it just you, or is the night darker tonight?

You may find the cause if you leave the train. Those who are caught alone outside will see the shadows grow suddenly long. The darkness coalesces into a vaguely human form, vague and faceless but radiating cold.

Before you can react the shadows surround you. Deep within, your most bitter, unpleasant feelings rise up in your chest. It's overwhelming, threatening to consume you, but just before it can it suddenly stops. The shadows recoil, dissipating into the jungle.

You're safe, but those negative feelings might be closer to the surface than usual.

Good luck, especially if you're one of the newbies just waking up.]

[NOTES: This event will OOCly end on Wednesday, but feel free to ICly push time forward as much as you like. There will be a followup post at that time, and you can schedule player-run trials any time after.

The emotional effect of this event can be as severe as you want. Your character could just be a bit grumpy, or they could find their emotions totally out of control. The effect lasts a couple of hours or until the character counters it with happier feelings.]

It is a uniform.

[maybe don't attack everything wow]

[playerkiller]

... explain it better.

[ he's stupid too. ]

[voreaciously]

[First of all, you rude.

Second of all, how do you explain that better.]

...Do you not know what a uniform is?

[playerkiller]

Uniform for what.

[voreaciously]

A soldier's uniform.

[playerkiller]

[ ??????? ]

What army?

[voreaciously]

The YoRHa military.

[playerkiller]

[ wrinkling his nose ]

Never heard of it.

[voreaciously]

I do not expect you to. Everyone here is from different worlds.

[playerkiller]

Yeah, I'm used to that. But I still haven't heard of you.

[ this bastard is real cocky. ]

[voreaciously]

And what is your point?

[Though she is curious about the former.]

[playerkiller]

Are you not suspicious of a military you've never heard of?

[ it's mostly because strange things happening to him that are deviating from his past lives are... concerning. ]

[voreaciously]

Not especially. I assume that I do not know everything about the world and universe.

[playerkiller]

...if a military was kept hidden from the publicity I am used to, it would be more suspicious than anything else.

[voreaciously]

You obviously are not from a place where YoRHa is present because it is everywere.

[Why is this a difficult conclusion to come to. Having serious concerns about your cognitive functions, sir.]

At any rate, my circumstances are not important. Yours are. Kindly explain.

[playerkiller]

...if they're not important, why don't you want to talk about them?

[voreaciously]

I disdain wasting time.
