Dark Reflections, Part 3

Mary awoke in a distorted world. Either she retained her full memories or she only remembered her time as Mary Agana and forgot that she was once named Mandy. Either way her body returned to the empty shell she wore most recently. Neither alive, nor dead, nor even undead… a new form of “existence” altogether. She explored this world. It was confusing, but also desolate and bland.

Soon she went to an old Skoolhouse with a pumpkin patch and met her great grandmother Mary Worthington (who looked different from the woman “Mandy” saw in her childhood). Whatever answers she tried to pry from Worthington were not by words, Worthington couldn’t speak. For awhile Mary Agana thought she had no sentience at all. But Dr. Agana could sense pain and suffering. Whatever the circumstances was for her death back then, it probably was gruesome indeed and that was what led to Worthington’s current state. A state that was different from her own. The person formerly known as Mandy killed her great grandmother and sent her soul away from the realm. Mary Agana then suddenly felt-no, sensed a great energy surge through her. 

As Mary was remodeling the mirror realm, she suddenly heard someone calling out the words “Bloody Mary”. She peered into a reflective surface and saw the face of the one calling her. She instantly knew.

Bloody Mary appeared to the one calling her new name and gave her a real fright. 

After time has passed after the doctor’s disappearance, the children, the youth, and a few brainwashed by the “treatments” told tales. They spoke that the doctor was actually a walking and talking “empty shell”.  Some were more mundane and conspiratorial, like Dr. Mary Agana just fled and became a gym teacher or similar. But the most popular one was that of Bloody Mary. If one were to speak the words “Bloody Mary” in a certain number of times in a mirror, she would appear. What happens when one were to say her name varied. Sometimes she just spooked them. Others she left scars in them. Others say she still continued her “therapy” and brought a person’s fears to life, or submerged them in deep layers of hatred or sorrow. Several accounts even said she would bring them into her own world behind the reflections. 

All of the above came true.

Bloody Mary’s world was a confusing land of opposites and distortions but also far more colorful and vibrant than it was before. Several characters from fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and fables existed here alongside some of the scariest urban legends and myths. She brought to life the Body Collectors, who this time resided in an even worse distortion of Victorian London. Here there were no Jack the Ripper or other Victorian serial killers. It was always the Collectors using scapegoats to mask the bodies and body parts they were collecting to hang as “art”. Bloody Mary had control over all of the realm of reflections and could shape it to her will. In addition she could control all lesser paranormal and supernatural entities. Such as the creatures from her experiments who reappeared in this world. Though this was not solely limited to the mirror world, far from it. 

A few characters in the mundane world became her helpers. After a shootout which left him bleeding from a bullet wound, Charles Lee Ray invoked the words “Bloody Mary“ to escape his fate. Subsequently Charles Lee Ray became a murderous Good Guy doll by the name of Chucky. Like Mary, he also did not belong to the dead or even undead planes of existence and usually does his own things… for now. 

Bloody Mary is one entirely without emotion. At least she thinks so. Still there is that odd nagging that something is missing… 

Nia: 

Mary awoke in a distorted world. Either she retained her full memories or she only remembered her time as Mary Agana and forgot that she was once named Mandy. Either way her body returned to the empty shell she wore most recently. Neither alive, nor dead, nor even undead… a new form of “existence” altogether. She explored this world. It was confusing, but also desolate and bland.

Dr. Mary Agana was right about her potential forgetfulness when she crossed over. She did forget she used to be Mandy; or at least she questions that she used to be her. 

What is her mode of existence called? She is neither dead nor alive, but she is not undead either. Mary is in the gray area. It’s kinda cool. 

I would imagine that a mirror realm would be desolate and bland, but also very shiny. 

Soon she went to an old Skoolhouse with a pumpkin patch and met her great grandmother Mary Worthington (who looked different from the woman “Mandy” saw in her childhood). Whatever answers she tried to pry from Worthington were not by words, Worthington couldn’t speak. For awhile Mary Agana thought she had no sentience at all. But Dr. Agana could sense pain and suffering. Whatever the circumstances was for her death back then, it probably was gruesome indeed and that was what led to Worthington’s current state. A state that was different from her own. The person formerly known as Mandy killed her great grandmother and sent her soul away from the realm. Mary Agana then suddenly felt-no, sensed a great energy surge through her. 

Mandy! You killed your great-grandmother!? 

Has Mary become so detached from her old life and memories that she does not know that she is Mandy, and that she killed Mary Worthington? Perhaps Mary Worthington recognizes Mandy, or she is “frightened” by the similarities Dr. Mary has to her great-granddaughter. That’s why she cannot speak. 

Well, I can’t say that Mary is detached. She experienced an energy surge in understanding what happened to “mute” Mary Worthington. Dr. Mary must recognize herself as being relevant to the situation, even if she cannot state what her exact role was. 

As Mary was remodeling the mirror realm, she suddenly heard someone calling out the words “Bloody Mary”. She peered into a reflective surface and saw the face of the one calling her. She instantly knew.

Bloody Mary appeared to the one calling her new name and gave her a real fright. 

And so Bloody Mary is born! 

After time has passed after the doctor’s disappearance, the children, the youth, and a few brainwashed by the “treatments” told tales. They spoke that the doctor was actually a walking and talking “empty shell”. Some were more mundane and conspiratorial, like Dr. Mary Agana just fled and became a gym teacher or similar. But the most popular one was that of Bloody Mary. If one were to speak the words “Bloody Mary” in a certain number of times in a mirror, she would appear. What happens when one were to say her name varied. Sometimes she just spooked them. Others she left scars in them. Others say she still continued her “therapy” and brought a person’s fears to life, or submerged them in deep layers of hatred or sorrow. Several accounts even said she would bring them into her own world behind the reflections. 

All of the above came true.

I’m not calling Bloody Mary. It would just be just my luck that she drags me into her realm and then I’m tortured for eternity, lmfao! 

Bloody Mary’s world was a confusing land of opposites and distortions but also far more colorful and vibrant than it was before. Several characters from fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and fables existed here alongside some of the scariest urban legends and myths. She brought to life the Body Collectors, who this time resided in an even worse distortion of Victorian London. Here there were no Jack the Ripper or other Victorian serial killers. It was always the Collectors using scapegoats to mask the bodies and body parts they were collecting to hang as “art”. 

Bloody Mary had control over all of the realm of reflections and could shape it to her will. In addition she could control all lesser paranormal and supernatural entities. Such as the creatures from her experiments who reappeared in this world. Though this was not solely limited to the mirror world, far from it. 

Dr. Mary (or Bloody Mary) made some very interesting modifications to her personal domain. I’m glad that her “army” reappeared, and it’s interesting that she seems to control parts of the world beyond her mirror realm (if I interpreted the last sentence right). 

A few characters in the mundane world became her helpers. After a shootout which left him bleeding from a bullet wound, Charles Lee Ray invoked the words “Bloody Mary“ to escape his fate. Subsequently Charles Lee Ray became a murderous Good Guy doll by the name of Chucky. Like Mary, he also did not belong to the dead or even undead planes of existence and usually does his own things… for now. 

Bloody Mary is one entirely without emotion. At least she thinks so. Still there is that odd nagging that something is missing… 

Bloody Mary is still allied with Charles Lee Ray. He must have done a wonderful job during their time together as she saved his life and allowed him to achieve his next form: Chucky!!! 

There might be a void in Bloody Mary…forever.
