Mirror Relm: Shattered Dream (Roleplay Thread)

[Kumi-chan]

Brillton heads home having no luck finding a job anywhere. As he approaches his house he finds his clothes and stuff on the front lawn he goes to the door of his house finding a note saying he is no longer welcome there to take his stuff and not to come back. "Well that's perfect. I hate you too mom." He heads to his car and loads up his stuff in his trunk. "Guess I am living in a car now." He climbs in and drives to a local parking lot sitting in his car leaning the chair back "Well now what the heck am I going to do?"

(I'm not really sure what I can post about Scott right now. >_> Should I be?)

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

(Sure just post helping Edward out. Say your bussing tables or whatever. )


(*Sees Yuriko (that ex-ovalisk sidekick I don't use much anymore) Driving a buss into the tables*

NO! YURIKO! NOT WHAT I MEANT! BAD GIRL!)

(Edit: Nevermind, I'm going to open up a door with this post since I'm about to do a time jump)


Dinner rush came and went without much incident. With Scott there to help him, Edward had no problems managing everything. Finally it came time to close up the shop. Once he had everything cleaned up he sat down at a table serving Scott and himself their dinners. (Scott got whatever he wanted, as much as he wanted. Edward himself is having curry)

"And so closes another day for the resteraunt of Gesalt," Edward said with a breath of releif. (Yes Gesalt is the name)

"So Scott, how have you been? Oh and before I forget Sandra said goodbye. She's sorry she wasn't here in person to say it though. Left a present for you however. It's in the back room. Didn't remember it till now I'm afraid. The day must have been longer then I thought..."

"Oops, I rattled on. Uh, so how have you been?" he said with a sweatdrop. He really needed to keep his mind on the ball more often...

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

(Oh yeah. Go ahead and begin the finding of the empowered mirrors and the transformations. Time to get things started! ^_^)

[Mystic Mina]

"Oh, same ol', same ol'. You should know that by now. Do I ever answer any differently? Heh... Anyway, do you mind if I go check out that present Sandra left me? I'm a bit curious... I'll be right back, 'kay?"

Scott picked a bit more at the plate of chicken steak that Edward gave him before he stood up and began to walk over to back room of the restaurant.

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

(I'll leave the present up to you. I figured she'd leave one though since you two were friends.)

[Haylie]

(About what time would it be now? Like, ten-ish, or earlier, or what?)

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

(Yeah, that sounds about right)

While rooting around on the floor, Ray noticed something that shouldn't have been there. Sure, he had quite the collection of auto parts strewn about, but they were all engine parts, suspension coils and the like. None of it you actually saw if you just looked at a car. Yet in the corner he thought he saw a mirror. Puzzled, he picked up the offense to his collection of all things grease monkey and turned it over in his hands.

Sure enough, it was a side rear view mirror. By the size of it, it had to be the kind you strap onto a pickup truck to make you feel more important. He could easily see his entire face in the oversized mirror, acne and all. Somehow, it didn't look right. He tilted his head a bit, but couldn't catch it. He got up and took it into the kitchen where the lighting was better. No, it couldn't be. Did it have a yellowish tint? Why would he bring a rear view mirror up here, let alone one that was faulty? Ray scratched his head and tried to puzzle it out by leaning in a little closer to the mirror.

(Pause for dramatic effect. Just to make sure I don't screw anything up, is there any specific way the mirror is supposed to activate? Also, does the shard embed itself in him, or does it kind of do the whole "glowy-guess-what-you're-magical-now" thing?)

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone read: More information on how the mirror shards work.
(Ok, the way I see this happening is like this:

The shard is IN the mirror. Written example: 'A small yellowish shard of glass seemed to be floating through the air. Weeving and flying at a quick pace as if it had a purpose. For which it actually did. Walls and other such obsticles meant nothing ot it, as it passed by these like a ghost. Quickly and without warning it suddenly picked up speed, heading toward a random innocent looking apartment. Inside the apartment, auto parts were strewn about the ground lazily. The destination of the shard however, was a small side rear view mirror for trucks. The shard impacted like a bullet, right into the glass, yet instead of shattering the glass merely rippled like it was water. The entire mirror, holder and all(the part of the mirror the glass is IN), glowed a bright bliding yellow for an instant. Before it died down, leaving only a yellowish tint to the glass.'


Sorry, just felt like writing that. The shard has merged with the mirror, and basically IS the mirror now. It's not comming back out.

An example of how I see the transformation happening: 'The person will look into the mirror and see something weird. It'll be a girl of about thirteen years of age with white hair. (Eliza the oricle who's body the shard came from) Shortly after this, they'll see their own reflection in the mirror. Then just as suddenly, they'll see their reflection 'morph' into that of their inner self.

Before they have a chance to take this in, the mirror (just the glass this time) will begin to glow it's color once more. Strangly, instead of closing their eyes, the person looking into the mirror will find they can not do just that. They'll continue to stair into the light, and while it appears blinding, the light somehow doesn't hurt.

They'll then begin to feel their body transform, and this I leave to you. It can be a warm feeling, a cold feeling, an itchy feeling, and the way the transformation begins and ends is entirly up to you. Maybe the 'breasts' begin first? (If they become female that is) Maybe the cloathing. (don't forget the cloathing Transformation)

Anyway is fine, and when it's over, the mirror will has a small 'glow in the dark' glow for a few minutes before that too dies down. In the end they'll know the mirror is important, and rember it CAN'T be broken by normal means, but it'll appear just like any old mirror. Looking into it again may show them their old form for a second, but it'll mostly reflect their new form like any other mirror would.

Also if someone ELSE looks into your mirror, nothing specail happens.

Another important thing to remember is that after you've been transformed, you'll IMEDANTLY know something else is up. That is you'll be able to 'feel' you power. It shouldn't take long before you find that you're capible of extra ordinary things.

Hope this helps)

Melanie gets home, sitting on her bed in her room, smiling. "Wow, I'm so excited for tomorrow! I can't wait to work for that dreamy guy there, he's so nice!" She smiles, fantasizing a bit. She looks over to her vanity mirror. "I guess I should practice looking good for work tomorrow." She walks over, sitting down. She looks at the mirror, a bit of a confused look on her face. "That's odd, I don't remember my mirror having a violet tint to it... Oh well.." She reaches for some makeup from the shelves, before looking in the mirror again. She gasped, purely shocked at what met her eyes. It wasn't her reflection, but that of a beautiful thirteen year old girl, with white hair. She smiled, nodding, before vanishing, showing Melanie's reflection again.

Melanie nodded at this image, as if in response to the girl, as if she understood what she meant. At just that moment, Melanie's reflection changed once again, this time growing slightly taller, her hair turning pink, her body becoming more curvaceous and beautiful, her outfit now a violet sailor fuku. Melanie gasped again, stepping back from the mirror, which begins to glow with a violet light. Melanie looks in surprise as the light gets brighter and brighter, fully enveloping her and the room.

(What will happen to Melanie? Dun dun DUNNNNN! *as if we don't already know...*)

[Mistress Guendolen]

Maria dumped her messenger bag on the couch as she walked in the door. Finally, she'd made it home.... Made it through another tedious day at work. All right, so it wasn't like her job was bad; no one mistreated her or over-worked her or anything like that. But it was so... mundane. The worlds inside her mind operated on a distinctly different level, from that. Either way, though, no sense dwelling on it. Make dinner settle in for the night. Maybe watch a movie. She was kind of in the mood for "Labyrinth"....
as she passed through her room, though, something caught her eye. A flash and sparkle of red peeked out from behind a faerie figurine on her dresser top. Curious, the young lady went over to check it out, see what it was. Stranger indeed- a small mirror, small enough to fit in your palm, with a sculpted frame embossed with little dragons and Celtic knotwork. The thing had been bought as a whim years ago, and had been missing for some time. I knew it wasn't left on my dresser top.... And why the flash of red? There had been nothing red on or around the mirror. A trick of the light, perhaps?
As Maria studied the mirror, there was another flicker. This time one of white. A swirl, and just for a second, a flash of a face- a face that looked like one other than her own. Then, in the blink of an eye- faster, even- it was gone.
The mirror felt warm to the touch. Warmer than it would be, just cradled in one's hand in such a fashion. Almost... hot. But Maria found herself unable to put it down. Unable to stop staring into it. And was it just her, or was there a reddish glare again? Something was feeling very odd....

Ray did a double take. Did he just see some young white-haired girl in that mirror? He squinted his eyes and looked closer, but all he could see was his own reflection. He dismissed it and shook his head. Well, he tried to. His head wouldn't budge. He tried to look away from the mirror, but he was caught in the reflection. The yellow tint became brighter, until it was a beam of sunlight right in his face. Brighter and brighter it grew. He was very confused, since he knew this light should be bright enough to blind him, but also because his reflection showed him with red eyes.

Impossibly, the blinding light flashed brighter a few times like some kind of strobe light and then went dark. The mirror still had a strong yellow glow to it, but it no longer had anywhere near the brightness as before, and was fading fast. Now Ray shook his head placing a skeletal hand on his head. Wait...

Ray took a good look at his hand and twitched silently. He had no skin, muscle, not even bone. It was just some kind of metal. He moved his fingers and they responded, touched the floor and felt the linoleum, but it still didn't change the fact that he most definitely didn't have a metal hand five minutes ago. He set his other hand next to it. It looked normal enough, but he could see a small line form along his fingers and the back of his hand. Without warning, his skin peeled back from the lines and folded itself somewhere so he had two menacing looking metal hands. Ray freaked out. As he screamed, lines appeared all over his body. Instantly all his skin disappeared, replaced with cold silver. His clothes ripped apart as little nodes poked out of his joints and sucked them inside before the nodes retracted somewhere too. He looked around and found things started getting labels on them. The kitchen door was exactly 8.4 meters away, and a structural analysis revealed it was "easily compromised." He looked back in the mirror. He didn't like what he saw.

Red dots of light shown where his eyes should have been, framed all around with sleek chrome. Ray touched a metal hand to his new face and shuddered. "Am I even...human?" Relief flooded him as he heard his own voice. "At least part of me's the same," he exhaled. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down. When he opened them again, he was pleasantly surprised to see his skin and clothes were back in place. He looked in the mirror again and sighed when he saw his regular, human face. He looked a little closer and noticed that his eyes were still red, even if they didn't glow as much.

"Okay, kinda cool, gotta admit. But I need to stop taking crazy pills or something."

(sorry for the length, got carried away)

"Way too dark in here..." Scott mumbled after he entered the black space of the backroom. He could barely see anything, even the hand he was waving in front of his own face. Why didn't Edward instill any lights back there? Did he find some sort of sick amusement from bumping into random stuff in the dark or something? Finding Sandra's present in these conditions was going to be impossible...

"I've already had enough to deal with today. No way am I going in there..."
---

"God, why am I in here!?" Scott whined as he wandered through the dark depths of the back room, smashing various parts of his body into random knickknacks as he did so. "I could have asked Edward for a flashlight or something, but instead I'm lost in this god forsaken place getting beaten up by cardboard boxes and metal shelves."

He was about to give up the search and get himself out, but then he saw something very peculiar... A pure white box decorated with blue lace. That had to be Sandra's present!

"AHA! I GOT IT!" Scott yelled at the top of his lungs, lifting the box above his head in triumph. Now, all he had to do was get out of here... Somehow...

"Edward? Uh, need some help getting out of here!"

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

Bewildered, Edward walked up to the back storage room, and reaching a bit to the side of the door on the outside of the room, flipped a switch which in turn lit up a couple of overhead lights within the actual storeroom itself.

"Scott? You ok in there? Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Edward asked peering in.

(Places actually do this. Put the light switch out side of the room they are intended for. I've been in a few hotels that always do this with the bathroom. Yeah let's put the bathroom light OUTSIDE of the bathroom! >_< WHY WHY WHY?!)

(As for those who are doing transformations. I like what I read so far, but why does everyone keep stopping mid way through? It's up to you to do the transformation. You don't need MY approval. ^^;)
