【JULY - MIRRORME EVENT】
"MirrorMe's Castle Reflects Your Happiness!"
While MirrorMe's event will have a lot of similarities to last year's MirrorMe event, it won't be a total carbon copy. So please take a moment to review all of the information before signing up!
MirrorMe's Mirror Castle is located in the center of Wonderment Amusement Park and is one of the few attractions that stays the same every day of the month. During the day, the castle has a single floor and is simply a fun mirror maze. Fallen Stars may see a Reflection of themselves, who taunts them and tries to drive them out of the maze; They whisper of their failures, shortcomings, and then tell them to come back at midnight. Those who do arrive at midnight will find a staircase at the end of the mirror maze, which leads to another floor. A warning states: "At the end of 24 hours is the dawn of a new day."
Every floor of MirrorMe's Maze will be a dungeon dedicated to a single Fallen Star. When you sign-up for the event, you will be assigned a number 1-23, which corresponds with which floor number your character is assigned. They will feel compelled to reach their floor, like there is a psychic pull calling them up to the next level. But there's a problem: Only one floor can be cleared each day and floors can only be cleared by defeating their final boss.
This event will rely on a mix of player and mod teamwork. The mods will write up a suggested summary for your floor's layout and boss, based on the information that you provide in the sign-ups. Players are also encouraged to play their floor's final boss or to handwave the final encounter; Mods will not be able to play many floor bosses. Once a character's floor is cleared, it will have a special appearance on every day afterward. Berri will be updating this section of the event with a description of the cleared floors.
It is assumed that one floor will be cleared every day from July 1st to 23rd, so your characters' floor number is also the date it is cleared by. You can future or back date floors as needed. The 24th floor is reserved for a final boss encounter. Any missing floors will be filled by NPCs.
This section of the event has a chance for characters to, once again, develop some kami powers... and this time, depending on how floors are cleared, some of the powers might stick! Powers are more likely to last if the character reaches some sort of breakthrough when clearing their floor. So please keep that in mind when signing up and playing out your floors. does this seem similar to persona? it should. you should think about that.
To sign-up, please go over here.
Inner Darkness: Think of what your character considers 'dark' about themselves, not necessarily what is morally repulsive to other people. Their Inner Darkness is something that they themselves struggle to accept. The final boss of their floor, called a 'Reflection,' will reflect this back to them and try to break the character emotionally. The Reflections also have the same abilities as their original, which comes with an ability to predict their original's moves and gain advantage in battle.
Battles: Battles can be resolved with combat, talking, self-acceptance, or a combination. You're free to end the fight however you want. Mods will not play Reflections for player characters due to how personal they are.
Floor Dungeons: The floor dungeons will reflect the characters' fears, doubts, and past. Mods will write a suggested floor description, but the players are encouraged to modify these to suit the characters better.
If your characters' battle resolves in a way that meets plot requirements for keeping powers, then you will get a mod comment! Powers will be incredibly mild at this moment. It is worth noting, as a hint, that the power will come from within. Your character will need to make an emotional breakthrough with themselves and face their inner darkness in order for the powers to stick!
Please sign-up over here!
【MIRRORME SIGN-UPS】

Reflection Ideas: Leo is the reincarnation of something that his world calls 'Glen.' This destiny forced on him is also the source of most, if not all, of his life's hardships: From his rough childhood to both finding and losing Elliot. He's been struggling a lot with what it means to be reincarnated as someone so important to the world and how that might mean leaving Elliot again.
Floor Ideas: Glen is connected to a place called the Abyss. It was once golden and beautiful, but then became dark and empty. He's also associated with imagery like chains, pocket watches, stacie flowers, specks of gold light, pianos, and sheet music. Leo values the golden glasses that Elliot bought him when he became a valet. The library and his school's music room are very important places to him. Glen can also move between his world's two dimensions.
Do You Want to Play Your Boss Battle? yeah, let's go.
Do You Want Powers? Yes!
Power Ideas/Preferences: I'd like to steer Leo towards the idea of taking care of spirits, since he's already so close to their realm. He was a Kami of Light candidate!

Reflection Ideas: Raiden Mei is the thunder that protects all that is beautiful in the world. Raiden Mei is also the same thunder that would have destroyed it if she hadn't conquered her doubts.
Those same doubts still linger in the back of her mind -- though her most precious person has forgiven her, though they've acknowledged each other's stubbornness, can she really forgive herself for what she did to save her? Though she bears a grave sin born of love without hesitating, can she fully sever that part of her past, just as she did all those years ago? Or will her regret return to haunt her...?
Floor Ideas: A place reclaimed by the world, smothered by vines, even 'drowning' in water steeped in corrupting energy. A storm endlessly screaming overhead. Gray clouds blocking out the sunlight.
It blends with an ominous red star in the horizon, a cut of the world that used to have life brimming in its corners, but has been rendered empty by forces unknown.
Do You Want to Play Your Boss Battle? Yes.
Do You Want Powers? Yes!
Power Ideas/Preferences: I did ask for her moon powers to come up again. Ergo, I'm leaning towards that for the time being. mo_om

Reflection Ideas: One of the things that Inaba dislikes is being called and treated like a princess, she also has the whole contradiction of wanting to be helped but also not wanting it as well of other contradictions like wanting to have friends but feeling undeserving of them, so I'm thinking of leaning really heavy on that. She has a lot of trust issues, is terrified of basically almost everything and a lot of self loathing coupled with that. She is also extremely lonely in spite of having others around her.
Floor Ideas: Her floor basically looks like what you'd expect from an actual castle, but there are things amiss in the room. Sometimes the walls will look paper-thin, but it's a blink and you miss it sort of deal and is only aesthetic. There are long hallways that are difficult to navigate due to the floors being rather plain and simple. Voices can also be heard every now and again on the floor, many of them unfamiliar, but never seen.
Do You Want to Play Your Boss Battle? Yes!
Do You Want Powers? No.
Power Ideas/Preferences: Not applicable this time around!

【MIRRORME FLOOR ASSIGNMENTS】
FIRST FLOOR
A place reclaimed by the world, smothered by vines, even 'drowning' in water steeped in corrupting energy. A storm endlessly screaming overhead. Gray clouds blocking out the sunlight.
It blends with an ominous red star in the horizon, a cut of the world that used to have life brimming in its corners, but has been rendered empty by forces unknown.
Though there is no visible ceiling, attempting to fly will result in characters hitting an invisible boundary 20 feet above the floor.

Floor 1 | "Thunder came, and split our paths in two."
She had to force herself to put down everything she'd planned for the first day of the month, realized that if she didn't she would never be able to rest easy. This was the sort of foreboding that only struck whenever the 'other her' spoke into her mind, a feeling she thought she left behind after she 'killed her and lamented her passing'. There was no getting around it -- she would have to face this head on, just as she did back then.
...and yet, the environment within the floor not only took her back, but seemed to be irrevocably twisted, at the same time.
The deep red shining down from that construct, standing ominously in the distance, tinted the place where it all began for Mei a sickly pallor. Her present had become melded with her past in such a way that the two seemed to have been pasted together like a demented art project. Some paths were recognizable, but others were so distorted by the bizarre merger of locales as to seem incoherent. It wasn't helped by how both these places had fallen to some form of ruin -- one worse than the other, what with the plant life that decorated entire buildings.
...and yet, she marches on.
Something within her is calling from without. And she knows it lurks in here.]
((OOC: I'd prefer up to 3 people helping Mei confront 'the other her'; both current and newer CR are very welcome. This thread, I'll be setting up as a mingle so people can explore and talk things out, discuss whatever the heck's going on, and threadjack each other if things come up -- just be warned that as they get closer, there's going to be threats of lightning coming from the other Mei.
I'll be putting up a separate thread for the confrontation proper! Stay tuned for that!))

DAWN OF DAY 3: [INABA] FLOOR
slots are unlimited, but i will ask for those who explore this floor to not be potential negative cr or characters who will potentially hurt, taunt, or make fun of inaba, thanks! )
prelude.
Everything about this castle seems both extravagant and plain.
If you look at the walls too closely, you might potentially see that they look almost like paper--something that could potentially be broken pretty easily. But it's a blink and you miss it moment before it returns back to normal. Characters that attempt to punch the walls when they look paper thin will realize that it's a deception.
But it's when everyone has arrived, a voice can be heard over the speakers, accompanied by proper music- ]
"Oh! We have guests! I wasn't prepared for this at all, how embarrassing..."
[ The voice can be recognized immediately as Inaba's, but it sounds less serious and much more mildly chipper than usual. ]
"You will have to forgive me. Please, make your way to the end of the hall. It's quite a long way ahead, but that's quite alright. I'm sure that my prince or princess charming will be able to make their way here! Good luck."
[ And the voice cuts.
Characters may travel throughout the floor which looks the same, even with its winding twists and turns and pathways. They might even hear voices at various intervals as well. How strange. ]
in terms of content warnings, things that might come up are murder, things related to meta, depression and self loathing. )

Day 2 [Elliot's Floor]
Prelude
[Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...
A few hours before midnight, Elliot comes to a decision and sends a brief message out on Starnet.]
un: nightray
I saw something in the funhouse when I went in before. I'm going back, tonight at midnight.
I won't force or ask anyone to go when I don't know what's going to happen or how dangerous it's going to be.
Later That Night...
[Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...
The doors open to the sun-drenched school library. Books tower all the way up to the high ceiling, spanning two levels. Despite the time of day and size of the library, it's empty save one person. In his school uniform, Elliot momentarily forgets about the book he's holding and turns his glowing golden eyes on the newcomers. His expression borders on disdain.]
"You're kidding. You don't even have the strength to face me on your own anymore, do you? Just looking at you makes me disgusted..."
"I've my doubts, but the least you can do is face the truth. Not that it makes any difference-"
[Snapping the book shut with a sense of finality, his Reflection places it back in its home and turns, already disinterested in everyone and heads around the corner. As soon as the party turns the corner, their surroundings change to those of the Shrine of Love. Only, the surroundings are muted somehow, cast in an unnatural lighting.
The more they advance, the more dreamlike and confusing their surroundings become, and the more sudden the surroundings shift. Elliot's floor is a maze of dreamscapes that seems to twist and spiral in itself.]

Aftermath
DAY 4, Baby Bonnie Hood's Floor
setup → arrival
Finally. Getting to slice someone to pieces would feel fantastic after all this time.
She doesn't alert anyone that she's going, nor does she really plan to wait or particularly acknowledge anyone that comes in. It was her target, and she was going to take it out one way or another. ]
==
[ For those who arrive at B.B. Hood's floor, they're greeted by a blue sky, not a cloud in the sky as the sun shines. Oddly enough, it doesn't feel any warmer or cooler. In the middle of the field is the figure of Bonnie's reflection, back turned to the entrance. Her red hood is down, the back of her blonde hair swaying in a soft wind. Her head turns and she glares at whomever she sees, sucking her teeth as her gaze leaves the group to face forward again, drawing her knife and stepping forward, disappearing in a haze. As they follow, and she moves in different directions, the world around them will change significantly, cycling through pleasant and traumatizing settings.
A dark forest, trees twisted and blowing in the wind, with the unnerving sound of owls and a low growl nearby. No matter where you are, the further in you get, the louder the growl gets-- as if you're being stalked by a predator.
The streets of a small town, buildings dilapidated and burning, images of others just walking by like nothing's happening. Of note is a building with a sign displaying a giant bat blocking the entrance to it. Just set dressing-- all of the doors are locked.
Finally, a dungeon. Dimly lit, an oppressive feeling overflowing in the air as you make your way through. If you don't watch your step, you'll trigger one of the many, many traps within. Do so, and you'll hear the sound of a girl laughing... which oddly enough, isn't the typical giggle or laugh that Bonnie makes.
Good luck. ]

DAY 5 - Velda Egan's Floor
Exploration
But this isn't just Morganic Court Arcane Academy lifted from its own world. It's winding. The hallways make up a maze that's hard to navigate, and you'll eventually end up back where you started. But if you ignore the loop of proper halls, every so often there's a gap in the wall, a windowsill that can be climbed up to before you can shuffle over to a platform, a dumbwaiter you can climb into and pull yourself up. These places seem to beckon to you, telling you you have to make your way through, and not just that, you have to hide.
But even as you feel that, you'll hear echoes of voices you don't recognize. Some are adults --]
"Parent-teacher reports came in. You have to stop this! Do you know how lucky you are just to be at that school? Your friends might get off easily, but you're there on a scholarship. Which they could revoke any minute! We cannot afford to send you to another good school like this one and then have you kicked out of that. I am begging you, be normal!"
[-- and some are younger.]
"I can't believe that girl. Who even cares it's the hundred-and-whateverth day of school? At least she's not hanging around thinking she's our friend anymore."
"Yeah, it only took ignoring her for three months and tearing up that note she passed you in front of her face, and then telling her to shut up and leave us alone when she complained about it. Seriously?"
"I heard she's hanging out with the headmaster's grandkid and those guys now. Do you think that's sucking up or just weirdos attracting weirdos?"
"Whatever, even they'll get sick of her eventually."
Confrontation
ENTRY WAY for THE OT3 / DAY ONE + BEYOND
SATOU KURONEKO
[Satou is among those gathered at MirrorMe's castle around midnight on July 1st. Much like she dresses at the shrine, she wears a white lolita dress with pure white accessories. A dress that she occasionally picks at nervously as she stands at the entry level, foot tapping occasionally.]
Ah! [Noticing that she has company, the kami of love turns with a wave.] So you got the memo too, hm? Looks like we've got our work cut for us, hm~?
EVERY OTHER DAY
[On the other days, Satou is slightly more tense. She's realized that MirrorMe's castle is targeting everyone's insecurities and worries about those who are strong physically, but may be taken out by an emotional attack.
She still smiles in greeting, but there's more concern in her red eyes.]
Are you sure that you want to come along? It's more than just a fist fight in there...

DAY 10 / Satou, the Kami of Love
♡ Arrival
A young brunette, no older than sixteen, stands in the middle of the street. She offers a curtsy to the newcomers, lifting the corner of her black lolita-style dress, and looks ahead with glowing gold eyes.]
"A city built on love? What a riot. After all... What do either of us really know about love?"
[She rises into a standing position, eyes gleaming with hatred despite her gentle smile.]
"No one knows us. And we don't know anyone. How could someone like that be a Kami of Love? It's such a bad joke... And everyone will pay for our deception."
[Then the girl turns and runs off, stepping into a shadow cast by one of the buildings before vanishing entirely.]

Because there was no one who understood the depths of his sin.
Arrival
Beyond the revolving door is a Japanese-style tatami mat room. And standing in its center, with a shadow of Rumor goo that seeps towards the door, is a boy. He looks no older than four years old. His gold eyes are bright and curious and he holds a wooden sword up, pointing it at the newly arrived Fallen Stars.]
Auuuu..! Stranger! Danger!
What do you want? Duncha know that it's a danger here? You're gonna die if you come any closer!

LOGIN: DAY 6 "TAP"
CONNECTING: Prelude
The floor itself is... somehow, no longer anything that can be said to resemble a floor. Somehow, you are outside, on an island city. The island, though, seems to be floating- You can look down off the edge near where you emerge onto the floor, and see that there is a sea of clouds below you. Bubbles rise from the clouds below, and somehow seem to even fly through the ground under your feet.
The lack of gravity seems to apply to everything, and chains line the area. Chains bind the buildings to the ground of the island, as well as seemingly bind the island to the sky above and clouds below. As you progress, you may also find giant chains blocking your path.]
One hundred years ago, the God of War's hatred grew so violent that he began to fight, waging war against the other gods. His might could not be denied, and the gods fought back. But one by one, they all fell, and the world crumbled in their absence. On that day, every god was slain, leaving nothing left but a shattered world.
On this, the hundredth anniversary of the End of the World, a single adventurer sets out on a journey to discover themselves, and the truth of this world.
[Tap's voice echoes around. But the Tap that's talking isn't around- In fact, other than the people who entered this floor, there doesn't seem to be a single person or even living creature throughout the entire island.]

SHUTDOWN: Aftermath
DAY 7 | HOSHINO AI
i've never felt it in my life.
Slots will be limited to five characters and please keep in mind that a blanket CW for the following applies to the entire dungeon: child abuse, violence, underage sex & teen pregnancy, depression, self loathing and general Not Great Mental Health Stuff. There will also be Oshi no Ko spoilers for basically the whole manga.
PRELUDE | first stage
The actors on each stage are only silhouettes, entirely blanked out save for the colours of their eyes... Which makes identifying Ai herself in each one painfully easy.
As you make your way to the first stage, an all too familiar voice rings out through the air. ]
Testing, testing! Mic check, one two! Now the audience has finally arrived, the most miserable show of all can finally begin!

CONFRONTATION
AFTERMATH
Day 11 | Kagami
Prelude
yes it’s lo-fi. A cobblestone floor leads to what looks like a typical flowershop- albeit one that has had a lot of thought put into the aesthetics. Plants have been arranged carefully so that each color and type compliments eachother. Even though it’s cluttered, it’s still neat. However, characters might notice that for a flower shop, it doesn’t have much of a scent.That’s because the plants are fake.
Dressed in a pink apron, Kagami’s reflection turns from what he’s doing and smiles a practiced smile at the newcomers. His bright gold eyes don’t match the rest of his muted appearance.]
”I guess it’s about that hour, isn’t it? Are you here as a customer? Or-“
[He pauses theatrically, spinning around in a full circle.]
”Are you here for me to use and discard? Guess we’ll find out! Try to avoid stepping on the flowers, please~ I worked very hard on them.”
[As he turns, spiderlilies bloom at his feet, forming a trail on the cobblestones as he walks off and disappears.
When stepped on, red spiderlilies may reveal and auditory memory or insecurity to characters. However, pink spiderlilies, when stepped on or plucked, will allow characters to see a memory or insecurity of Kagami’s played out.]
Confrontation
Aftermath
EIGHTH FLOOR | Leo
Arrival
Of course, to get to this places from Leo's past, you'll have to first be greeted by this floor's Reflection. He looks almost exactly like Leo, aside from wearing a formal black suit and carrying a replica of Elliot's sword. His glasses are gone and his gold eyes sparkling with stars.]
The pages of a story cannot go backward. You knew that.
Yet here you are, trying with all of your might to ignore the future that was brought 'bout by your own foolish hands. Glen.

day thirteen | kimiko
morning bell
One door crumbles to pieces to the left, casting a dim red glow on everything. The hallway is run down, seemingly abandoned. Desks and chairs splintered into pieces litter the pathway ahead, as if something had gone by and destroyed them.
Upon reaching the broken doorway, it's clear why everything is so dark: the sky outside is unnaturally dark, swallowing up the rest of the world in an inky, almost crimson blackness. Shining in the sky is a full moon, though it too struggles to maintain its light. Still, it's the best you've got.
At least, until another light catches your attention. Peering out of another doorway is what appears to be a glowing spirit, taking the form of a white rabbit with piercing ruby red eyes.
It looks like it wants to be followed, and well... it does emit some additional light. ]

cram school
day fourteen | taiga aisaka
cultural festival
Seen it in an anime? There's probably a classroom for it. A number of classes host maid cafes of various flavors, the occult club is putting on a haunted house, the ever popular photography club shows a selection of last year's festival photos. Remember, after the festival you'll be able to purchase copies of your favorite photos!
There are posters for a pro wrestling show all over the place, and quite a bit of hype from the students of the school. No matter how long you look at the posters, your eyes can't seem to focus on the actual contents of the post, but like reading a book in a dream you glean enough information to know it's about a dreadful villain seeking to separate those in love.
Bizarrely, you can't find the classroom hosting the pro wrestling show. ]

TWILIGHT: DAY 20 [YAYOI]
DUSK [EXPLORATION]
First of all, it is dark. The only light you can see comes from a hazy moon above you, covered by the clouds. It gives enough light to see a few steps in front of you, but little more. The ground under you and scenery around you is hard to make out- Is it a void? Is what is under your feet grass or concrete? Are those vague, dark shapes you can almost make out buildings, or trees?
Did one of those shapes just move?
Second of all, you are alone. Even if you were holding hands when you entered this floor, by the time you realize it, the darkness has separated you. The crushing feeling of loneliness, of the oppression and isolation, is everywhere. There is no one to rely on, and you cannot even turn back- After all, which way is back?
And third... as you explore, you may hear noises in the distance. Growls, the sounds of violence. They are muffled, as though the darkness bars sound as much as it does light, but they're out there... and you know there is no safety. Monsters abound in the darkness, after all.
There is no light. There is no hope. There is no companionship. There is nothing but the Night.]

MIDNIGHT [CONFRONTATION]
DAWN [AFTERMATH]
SEVENTEENTH FLOOR | Yumeno Shugo
ooc: please limit to 2 confrontations! unlimited entrance encounters are fine!
ENTRYWAY
Still in the entryway are further decorations, which clash strangely with the simple elegance of the design. Books flap their colourful covers, suspended from the ceiling by puppet strings, while gold feathers fall black to the floor. For those who push the heavy gold door and walk the long, lonely corridor to the next room, lights flick on with every step until they're in a throne room.
Shugo's Reflection doesn't sit in the throne. He leans against it, gold cape draped over the seat, then hops down a few short stairs to the floor level. And he's... shorter. Younger. Much like Satou's Reflection, Shugo is reflected as a teenage; Seventeen, to be exact. But he glares across the room with the authority of a kami.]
So it's my turn now, is it? It was arrogant to hope that I'd be spared this.
Where's the heroine? Maybe it's finally time to break this illusion of happiness.

FLOOR TWENTY-ONE / Mikale Reed
ooc: please limit to 2 confrontations! unlimited entrance encounters are fine!
ENTRYWAY
The darkness peels off of the walls, turning into long tendrils that seem to end like tattered black ribbons. Mikale's Reflection doesn't approach more than three feet before turning his head to gesture to the red doors on the hallway. There are three on each side and they're locked at the moment.]
"Pick one! If you're wrong, you'll die!"
Seems easy enough, doesn't it? Come on, give it a try.
I've been picking the right door my whole life, so it can't be that hard. Can it?
[Black chains fall from the ceiling and rise from the floor, forming a barrier between the Reflection and his visitors. He watches, though the amused grin still doesn't meet his empty eyes.]
[OOC: Only two people will find 'correct' doors, which lead to confrontations. The other four doors will have physically damaging consequences, though they won't be lethal.]

opening act.
The forest isn't exactly quiet though.
Sounds of static, off-key, distorted piano plays in the background, incessantly.
But if you look past the grove, there seems to be more to this floor...

FLOOR TWENTY-THREE / Uai
cws: self-harm/hatred, meta bullshit, child abuse/neglect, death/funerals
ENTRYWAY
But as beautiful as this living library may seem at first glance, it is not meant to last. Black Rumor goo oozes along the ground; A steady stream coming from a far off source. Touching the books causes them to melt into similar goo and, every few minutes, the lights flicker- the library appears rotted and decayed- and a crime scene's worth of blood spatter coats the shelves and floor.
The Reflection of this floor walks into the entryway, dressed quite formally and wearing the most polite of smiles. He bows in greeting, pink eyes now Reflected gold, and holds out his arm to stop further entry.]
Terribly sorry, but the funeral has been cancelled. You don't need to waste your sentiments on mourning.
[-And before the Reflection can say much more, he's sliced in two. As soon as Uai's sword slices him, the Reflection turns into goo and melts onto the floor. Then reappears elsewhere. Both Uais sigh in annoyance and shake their heads at each other.]
I should have known better.
I should have known better.
And here I was hoping to mooch off of the Fallen Stars' success.
Step back. I'll take care of this dumbass myself.
