【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!

[ Himeko doesn't mince words in the slightest. While there's terminology that she doesn't understand, she can understand a little on loose concepts.
She can't help but think of Evangelion. ]
By saying that you were at the center of it all, that means you were the cause or start of it...?

[...her gaze drifts upward for a moment, before she goes a bit further ahead, draws attention to the haunting view they can see from where they stand. While they were
still on relatively flat terrain relative to everything else in this ruin, there was still a decent view of what used to be office buildings, side shops that one could just step into. Places that belonged to people that made their livings here.]
The last time I was here, things were faring better... but... this is as clear a view as you'll get of the aftermath.
Even as bitter as I was back then, I never wanted any of this to happen. This city, the people in it... I still cared on some level. It's stupid of me after what I told you about, sure.
It's still not right, to be responsible for the end of so many lives.

[ Himeko's response is extremely quiet. ]
But even so, it still happened. And even if it's not right... you can still make up for it.

It can't really change how much this city means to me, good and bad.
[One could practically draw a line from where it started to where she is, even if not all the pieces are there -- from the way she fixates on the remains of whatever vehicles that were previously claimed by the flood, to the way her eyes seem to be hunting for something in the skies above.
She almost seems a little lost, in that past, if not for the still-taut grip on her scabbard.]

What makes you say that? [...she has an idea, but presumptions are dangerous. She wants to hear Inaba's thoughts, to let her be heard.]
