Forums Reaping Ritual 2021: Restless Slumber Restless Slumber: The Reflective Door (VOTING CLOSED)

Npc — He/Him Posted 2 years ago ( 2021/11/21 01:03:32 )

You approach the Reflective Door…

Another large double door greets you as you approach, could this be another shared dream? The first thing that you notice when looking at this door is… You. The entire surface of these doors are covered with a smooth, reflective sheen. You look into your own eyes, nodding as you give yourself a quick, internal peptalk, before stepping into the dream.

You find yourself standing within a dark, dusty room, looking as if it’s gone long without any care. The first thing you notice is all the interesting looking antiques that fill the room, having aged poorly from years of neglect. What catches your attention next is the large, floor length mirror that sits within the middle of the room, and the figure that is sitting in front of it.

As you approach you immediately recognize it as Virgil Frost, a concerned expression on his face as his fingers run over the cracked glass of the mirror. You cough, catching his attention as he glances back at you with a confused but stern expression. Shaking his head, he ignores asking the obvious question of why you’re here, instead cutting to the chase.

“I don’t know what the hell this is, but I can’t get her out…”

Her? You shift your gaze to the mirror, only to realize immediately what’s wrong. That’s not his reflection Virgil is looking at… That’s his twin sister, Violet.

You turn for a moment, rubbing your chin in thought. Breaking the mirror would be a bad idea, you have no way of knowing what that would do. But how are you supposed to help? You turn back to ask what he thinks, but instead find yourself standing beside Violet instead, with Virgil on the other side of the mirror.

“Oh dear… He’s been trapped in there this whole time. How are we meant to help him?”

Wait… Who’s trapped? Which side are you meant to be on? This is all getting rather complicated, and you’re beginning to wonder which side of the mirror holds the exit from this dream. Better figure it out quickly!

YOU REUNITE THE TWINS...

You focus intently, studying the room you’re in and its reflection through the mirror, searching for any small detail that might help you all out of here. Every time you take your eyes off the mirror, you find yourself transported to the other side of it, making the whole experience all the more difficult and confusing.

The more you focus, however, the more inconsistencies you notice between the two rooms, helping you get a better understanding of what is happening. Suddenly, it appears: the door out of here! It’s on Violet’s side of the room!

Now the only problem… How do you get Virgil over there with you? You sigh, thinking for only a moment before an idea comes to mind. Reaching out, you grab Virgil by the arm, ignoring his protests as you look away from the mirror. As you glance back, you still feel his arm within your grasp, and in front of you, you see a relieved Violet as well.

“Ah! Of course you found a way!” She smiles, clapping her hands together, “Leave it to you!”

“Yeah,” Virgil shrugs his arm out of your grasp, letting out a sigh as he nods, “Thanks…”

There seems to be something on his mind as he moves in to help his sister up, and you can’t help but ask. He narrows his eyes slightly as he looks at you, hoisting Violet up onto his back to carry her out of here.

“You aren’t thinking about it? What it all means? Dreams are always full of symbolism, what’s the deeper meaning behind all this? What’s this saying about us?” He sighs in exasperation, “Doesn’t that bother you at all?”

Violet hums for a moment, “Not really… I guess you could say I haven't taken the time to reflect on it!”

Virgil lets out a tired groan as he leads you to the doorway, Violet laughing behind him as he mutters under his breath, “Forget I asked…”
