Event: Mirror Image

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.]

[BIG HEAVY DOG SIGH. She rolls over, grabs the edge of the blanket in her teeth, and pulls it right out.

She made sure Hlasoh would be rolled out towards the wall and not onto the floor.]

...Sorry. Um.

[She sighs as well. The anxiety is too thick and oppressive for her to sleep.]

I think I mentioned being imprisoned before, and er, mind-control magic, so there are things that have a very bad reaction to.

[WUMP. DOG ON YOU.

...or, well, next to you. Look, she is tired and you burned her it's naptime.]


It was your blood, not your mind.

[Guilt and anxiety bubble up in her mind, as she reflects on what has happened.]

Well, it felt like you were trying to control me. But, I imagine that was partially your instincts as well.

I saw something outside. Maybe that was Malice, and it was strengthening the power of the Abyssal Curse.
