Event Log: Bad End

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
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.

[Maybe she just can't help but smile when Lup is around, or maybe she actually feels better, but she nods, looking up to the cave ceiling. The glowing rocks she, Sans and Shadow installed haven't faded yet, though they're mostly only visible at 'night'.]

Actually, I know where s-some of them are. My friends and I added the uh, the fake star ones, so sometimes we had fun shaping them.

Oh, you guys added those? Hella rad. [Lup had just assumed that was the cave's own aesthetic, but somehow knowing they were Alphys' own work, made them that much cooler. The gods should clearly put the lizard in charge of cave decor.]

Wanna show 'em off to me? I'd love to hear more about it.

[sciencelizard]

Y-Yeah. They, uhm, they look like something back from my home world. We would, uh... pretend they were stars.

[It's less sad then she would've said it, previously. Now, she's all smiles.]

Come on. I'll show you my, uhm, m-my favorites.

[If Alphys is smiling than Lup's clearly done her job well. It doesn't erase everything, nor does it change the fact their reflections are still empty, but it's the perfect distraction for the rest of the afternoon, time to just lay back and focus on something that drags up happier memories.]

Hella rad. Lead the way, sis. I'm right there with you.
