What: The event log for the Bad End event
Where: All over the city!
When: August 23rd-September 5th
Warnings: Bad futures, awkward conversations, smashed mirrors
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.

[Comforting.]
Look, I'm not trying to bully you, I'm just saying.
no subject
I know. And I get it. It's not like I haven't thought about it before, I just don't know that it's a good idea. I'll... keep it in mind, though, I guess.
[At the very back corner of his mind, but you know.]
no subject
[Well, this is awkward. She's not sure if this helped him at all.]
Don't worry, I'm not afraid of you eating me or something now.
[It's still freaky, but she's not going to admit that.]
no subject
I don't think you'd be in trouble anyway. It's not interested in regular people.
no subject
no subject
From what I can tell, it prefers murderers.

no subject
[He should probably explain this better.]
There's like, a story about it, actually. Like an urban legend kind of thing. [At least he's pretty sure it's the same thing. How many other vigilante ghost monsters can there be???]
I guess it was some guy who got killed.
no subject
Are you gonna tell me or what?
hi did you want a novel
[He's not sure what that foot gesture was, but he'll ignore it to be nice.]
Story's kind of vague on the details, but there was some guy who was murdered, like, a hundred years ago or something. Supposedly he was a witch? That's- Well, in my world, back when people did still believe in magic, they thought it was evil. So like, if people thought you used magic, you might get executed for it.
The thing in the story, though, that happened way after the whole "witchcraft being a crime", thing, this was just, I guess, some assholes taking care of what they thought was a problem. Anyway, as he was being killed, this guy swore he'd come back to visit his killers two times, and that the second time he'd kill them, too.
I... don't know how someone's supposed to say that stuff while he's being stabbed to death, but, it's a story, okay? It's not perfect. [Moving on.]
So anyway, they kill the guy, and then a year later, one by one, they start seeing this thing that's all black but with a skull for a face. Like, an animal skull. It just shows up, but it doesn't do anything. And then one by one, they start dying. This part's normally drawn out, but we're not at a slumber party, so I'll spare you. They get torn apart, and no killer is found, and it's blamed on animals, but everyone knows it's the whole witch curse thing. I guess he made a deal with the devil or something?
So now they say the ghost-turned-monster wasn't satisfied with just getting its killers, and it still wants revenge, so it goes after anyone that reminds it of them. So, other killers. It appears to them once, and then the next time it shows up, it kills them. But the problem is, its time on earth from the deal with the devil is up, so to keep itself here, it has to latch onto a living person.
[He takes a second. That was a lot. That's like, the most he's talked in weeks.]
To be honest, I think a lot of the story's bullshit. But the Visitor- that's its name- is definitely real. Back when I worked at the funeral home, a body came in all torn up, like in the story. There were others around that time, but I didn't see them in person. And they were all supposedly killers, that's why people were telling the story again.
Anyway, the body. I think that's where it came from.
yes ty i am satisfied with my purchase
That's... Jesus. You said this shit isn't normal in your world?
no subject
But then this one... Well, it is real. So who knows anymore?
no subject
[Which is wild for her to think about, but.]
no subject
[They're thinking of different movies but, sure. It's actually pretty crazy for him to think about a world where no one would even question the veracity of his story.]
But to be honest, if the murder-demon is real, I don't know if I want to know what else is out there. The serial killer thing is bad enough.
no subject
Wait, what serial killer thing?
no subject
Earlier I said the thing's interested in murderers. Not just people who have killed, like, in self-defense or whatever, but people who do it on purpose. Back home, there was an active serial killer. Is, I guess. Maybe. He might be dead, but somebody just got killed again, so he might not be.
[And now he's getting off track- off track in a way that could be dangerous.]
Anyway. The Visitor wants me to find him. But now we're here, and he's not, so it's pissed. It's... I think it's trying to pick a new target. So it's, like, suspicious of anyone it thinks might have killed people? It was after your friend earlier when I saw his mirror, but I think it's fine now-
[Wait. Shit. He did so well not telling her he killed people, but then he had to go and fuck something else up. Fantastic.]
no subject
What? Wait, a new target? What friend are you even talking about? Harlan?
no subject
Nothing. I didn't mean- [Wait.] It was because he said something about your job. Like, you had to kill people for your job.
no subject
[Which... What the fuck?]
Did he show it to you?
no subject
No, I just- Forget I said anything. It's not important.
[Please trust him he's being so trustworthy.]

[His words are very careful, his tone distinctly lower. He stands up, pacing now.]
It doesn't care about him. I wasn't supposed to say anything.
