Mirrorland Day 2

[mirror_mod]

Hey everybody! I just want to clarify a few things about the plot that it seems were regrettably not made clear at the beginning.

There is two sides to this plot. The major part of it happens only on the part of the missing residents as is being run on a side comm, which is why the plot had an opt-in option. The castle side is smaller, but fear not - things ARE happening - just not where you can see. They're busy exploring wherever it is they've been dropped into.

It's important that there is a certain amount of blindness between each group, which will become apparent in the next two days.

You are free to look for them, of course, but there isn't anything you can physically do to save them.

Tomorrow, on Thursday, the third day of the plot, there should be an opportunity for communication between you and the missing residents. I cannot tell you when, because it depends on when they get around to doing it themselves. Hopefully you will get some more solid clues then.

I hope that clears up any of the confusion. If not, ask me here and I will answer what I can.

A quick question.

It hasn't come up yet, but with the way characters are panicking, it might if the right people go asking her for help:

Eva has some pretty hax magical senses - she can sense a single animal entering a city, or pinpoint her student from across the country. Would she have sensed that people just disappeared, or anything similar? And if asked to investigate their rooms, would she sense any lingering magic, etc?

[mirror_mod]

Eva's been around awhile, so maybe she could recognize this, and I'm just gonna level with you for simplicity. The castle did it. So I'm not sure? If the castle has typically left residue she can detect, sure. Otherwise this might be a question for a Para mod...

[midget]

Well, usually Ray's ghost thingumabob picks up some stuff, but Eva's never participated in this sort of thing before. I'll just bug a mod if it actually comes up.

OHAI YOU MENTIONED RAY AND THAT REMINDED ME

I kinda want him to take his PKE meter around to mirrors and stuff ... would it pick up anything? XD

[mirror_mod]

Hahaha oh good I didn't have to find you! Yes, if it's picked up castle activity in the past, he certainly would - especially near where they went to sleep and near their journals.

[ectobabble]

He's got a special setting to monitor fluctuations IN castle energy wavelengths as compared to the usual level of energy it puts out, as a matter of fact. So he can tell if the castle's causing someone or something to act oddly (IE, a loss) or if it's a different force. For example, when Kaylee got turned into a doll, he used it to detect that it had enough energy around it to BE Kaylee, and not just a doll someone made to look like her.

[mirror_mod]

Well, the effect was instantaneous, more or less, so it's not an ongoing spike like the effect of a loss. But if he can detect lingering energy, maybe?

And, actually, he might notice a spike near the journals. And not just that of the missing people.

All of them :3

In the sensing vein of things, Toph here has a seismic sense. She's in tune with the earth kinda, and can find stuff way underground and follow floor maps and such as long as the building is rock or earth or whatever. That wouldn't have any effect here, right?

[mirror_mod]

Afraid not, no.
