You wake up to find a mirror at your bedside - a pretty nice one, too, a silver hand mirror perfect for fixing your hair in. Only when you try to do that, it's not your gorgeous reflection that you see. It's something else - a terrible future, just about as bad as anything you could imagine for yourself.
Maybe you see your loved ones dead on the ground, and you know it's your fault. Maybe you see the goal you've been working so hard for pulled out of your reach forever. Maybe you see someone you've hurt in the past ruining your life. Maybe you see your hot girlfriend leaving you to shack up with your worst enemy. Whatever you see, it really sucks, and you know that it's possible. This future could happen if you make the wrong choices, give in to your worst impulses.
Break the mirror if you want, but you'll see the same vision in any reflective surface in the city. You can't break them all, but you can sure try. And what will you do when you see your best friend's vision - and it features you betraying them?
Seek reassurance, give reassurance, lash out, vow to yourself that you'll never let it turn out that way, sink into the depths of sorrow because you feel like the future you see is inevitable. Whatever you do, it won't take away those visions - not until the event is over.► This log covers August 23rd-September 5th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you can't handle the idea of your dark future, or maybe you just accidentally slip and fall on a mirror shard, let us know here.
Re: daenerys targaryen | ota
she just went on, ageless, all of the other Reapers she knew meeting their quotas and being surrounded by strangers so she didn't even have the small comfort of people she knew being there for her.
it never ended. murders. suicides. accidents. death. everyone but her getting getting their sparkly lights and moving on to the afterlife. everyone but George. there's no way out. there's no relief. all there is is death.
after seeing this in the mirror, George shrieked and left the house, trying to find someone, anyone who might serve as some comfort or at least a distraction. she's not exactly looking where she's going, either, when she runs into Dany]
--shit! No, it's my bad, I was. Distracted. You okay? [George asks because she definitely isn't and Dany doesn't look like she is, either]
no subject
Yes. [ No, not really, but she won't share what she'd seen with George. ] I... am still unused to the kinds of experiences that are apparently common in this world.
[ To say the least. ]
You saw them too, then? The visions that the gods so kindly provided for us?
no subject
You sure? [trying to be better doesn't get rid of her inherent curiosity] So am I. I've only been here a couple of months, so I'm just kind of. Trying to deal.
[emphasis being on "trying"]
Yeah, I saw 'em. My very own worst nightmare. Being a living dead girl forever with no way out.
no subject
[ Nothing to be happy about. Her jaw is set as she continues trying to banish the images she'd been shown in the mirror, that she's seen in other surfaces since. ]
"A living dead girl?" [ Dany repeats, frowning. ] What do you mean?
no subject
[George is trying to seem as calm and collected as possible. she doesn't want to give any gods the satisfaction of knowing they got to her. which they did. a lot.]
Oh! Uh. Well, I'm a Grim Reaper. I died and got drafted into the job. Which involves taking the souls of people who are gonna die and--and sending them on to the afterlife.
no subject
A Grim Reaper? [ She shakes her head faintly. ] I'm not familiar with the phrase. [ The concept, though... has her stiffen a little. ] You take souls from the dying?
[ So... a member of the House of Black and White? ]
You sound like one of the Faceless Men, of my world.
no subject
You must be the first who's not. Your world must be really different. [George sees her stiffen and tries to seem as non-threatening as possible] Reapers don't actually kill anyone. They'd die anyway. Accidents, murders, and suicides. That's what I was assigned to.
What's a Faceless Man?
no subject
The Faceless Men are Braavosi assassins. They believe, I think, that the death they give is a gift, as they worship what is essentially a god of death.
[ That's her basic understand, anyway. ]
But I see now that you are not the same after all, if what you say is true.
no subject
I am so not that, it's not even funny. I hated reaping. Tried saving my first few, but it didn't work out. [she looks vaguely depressed at that]
no subject
[ This is all... a lot to process, and Dany frowns as she asks, shifting slightly in the hot water. ]
no subject
[it is, and George's expression changes from kind of depressed to just depressed]
no subject
That sounds very difficult. I don't imagine that anyone would take that role lightly.
[ And she may not have chosen the job at all, even. ]
I hope you are able to find some peace here, despite its... many flaws.
no subject
[she didn't. she was drafted. which she will never not resent]
I hope so, too. So far, it's been--not terrible. Other than this bullshit with the reflections.
no subject
[ And desensitized to, by the sound of it. ]
Even without the mirrors, we are still captives. The illusion of peace is just that: an illusion. We cannot become complacent.
no subject
[not entirely]
Doesn't sound like complacency's gonna be an option forever, anyway. Y'know, what with the Null and the gods and their little feud.
no subject
[ Or maybe "especially not that." ]
They are no gods of mine.
no subject
[George is used to being complacent, but is slowly being shocked out of that routine]
Mine, either. Hell, I never even believed in gods back home. I just call 'em that, 'cause what else is there to call them?
no subject
[ And their captives respond, too, whether they like it or not. ]
We should try and resist, as much as we can.
no subject
[human nature is difficult to overcome]
How would we do that, though? Especially with something like this? [she gestures around her, referring to the visions sparking off of every surface with a reflection around them]
no subject
I'm afraid I have no answers, but that doesn't mean that we ought to give up. That, I know for sure.
[ Once you lose the will to fight, you don't really regain it again, not fully. ]
no subject
[this will be hard for George, she's used to letting her emotions run away with her]
no subject
[ Too many times in her own past, all Dany has been able to do is to resist within her own head.
Gently, she adds: ] You find something to keep yourself looking forward.
no subject
[George, too, mostly out of sheer bullheadedness]
I've got my work at the clinic? That's not bad, y'know?
no subject
[ The clinic is a good place to start. Helping others in their situation. ]
I am no healer, but if I see those in need, I will send them to you for aid.
no subject
Basic first aid stuff only, for now. Though, I was told I was gonna learn how to do stitches. That sounded interesting. And potentially gross.
