Mirrorbent Update!

In this one-page update, Piolet ponders the current situation, and her role in causing it.

Next update should hopefully come Before next Arc Number Day (5/4 for reference), unless something unexpected happens.

FOREST BOUGHS - The black forest calls. Whispering tendrils of nighttime.

Let yourself sink. 

There is no need for anything beyond this. You have found what you seek. Now let yourself join the dance.

1. The dance?

FOREST BOUGHS - Yes, child. This is it. The destination all seek. Whirling, perfect, nothing. You have at last proven yourself worthy. Transcended existence. Freed yourself from it all, and found the other side.

This is where they go, when they leave you.

1. Wait, who?

FOREST BOUGHS - That is unimportant. All you need do now is embrace your reward. True oblivion.

2. No, I think I want to do the opposite of that

HORMONAL MESS - It doesn’t want its reward. What a humble thing it is. To come so far and attempt to return the prize. To grab the brass ring and then throw it away! Can it not feel the rushing fury inside of it? The endless parade inside it’s flesh?

3. Oh god. Ow. I feel sick. Let me feel something else? Please?

HORMONAL MESS - That can be arranged… how about a headache? A splitting, piercing headache! An iceaxe to the skull! Something, somewhere, is ringing! Awake, refuser of the prize! Awake, humble thing! Take in the light! And may it hurt! 

You awake to the taste of blood, and the sickening scent of feces. An acrid chemical tinge laces through all of your senses. Your hands feel stiff, as if blood is only now returning to them. 

1. What is this awful sensation?

NERVES (success) - filth. Plain and simple. Caked blood. Drool. Piss. sweat. Other unmentionable things. You can feel it all clinging to your skin. You’ve been lying in it all for ages.

SCHOOLING (success) -  That harsh smell is brandy. Not the cheap stuff, either.

PERCEPTION - This room is a complete fucking mess. Tiny pills surround your stumbling feet. 

MEDICINE (success) - brandy and pills? That’s no good dear, not at all. 

2. Medicine, be real with me. Is this blood mine?

MEDICINE - I’m afraid so dear. I think most of the other fluids may be ours as well. 

3. Oh god. It’s all in my mouth. How did this happen?

MEDICINE (failure) - I don’t think you’re in condition to hear my opinion, dear. You need water and sleep before we discuss mental health.

POINTED HAT - Stand up. This is no time to be lying around. Can’t you hear the doorbell?

1. The doorbell?

POINTED HAT - Doorbell means work. You have work to do. 

1. I have work to do like this? I don’t think I can do anything like this.

GINGERBREAD COTTAGES - Covered in blood and vomit? You can do anything like this. You can do everything like this.

POINTED HAT - you will be quiet. She doesn’t need you. Not now, not ever. 

NERVES - the doorbell is still ringing. They seem rather impatient. 

3. Every step I take makes me feel like I’m going to throw up. My hands are cold. Oh god. 

POINTED HAT - Walk, don’t run. 

As you drag yourself down the hall, leaving a streak of filth on the wall where you press against it to keep yourself upright, you manage to make it to the front door. The icy cold chill of fresh mountain air prickles against your skin, chilling the warm amniotic misery that coats you. 

Before the doorbell can ring again, you grip the doorknob. 

NERVES (success) - Open it only a little bit. It could be anything.

1. Open it just a crack.

On the other side, you see an old woman. Plump as an overstuffed pie. She seems nonplussed, but recoils when she sees you through the crack in the door. Even with it opened only a little bit, she is clearly taken aback by the view of your pulsating eyeballs and foul scent. 

TART-MAKING WOMAN - “Er… h-hello there? Is- is the witch of the house… in?”

COMMUNITY SPIRIT (success) - this woman is your neighbor. Treat her with trust and respect.

3. [Socialization - heroic] - Align your tongue and teeth and greet her with a proper neighborly how do you do.

FAILURE.

“MY BODY IS DRY AND THE WORLD IS A TORRENT OF SICK”

TART-MAKING WOMAN - Her face goes pale, and she seems to step back a bit.

“W-whatever you are, I- p-please, just tell your mistress I c-came to call. I shan’t bother you further. J-just tell her… it’s about my cat! I’m sorry!”

POINTED HAT - I can do cats. Cats are part and parcel. Get us cleaned up. And find our hat. We have work to do. It is a cold day in the alps. And you have a mission.

"It has been rather quiet as of late ."

Lara swerved the car after a moment , throwing them both sharply to the left. Trinity obviously had other plans than the nice day out Sam had been wanting for a while , and the archaeologist could bet it was something to do with the artifact in her emergency bag. It had been placed carefully in there amidst bundles of rope , her iceaxe and most important pieces of equipment , and she rarely left it out of the vehicle if she could help it .

". . and that was the plan ."

The car turned down another side street , and Lara was happy enough to assume they'd lost a half of their tail. Maybe the day could still be scavenged , or they'd have yet another bout of evasion before they moved onto the next piece of the puzzle .

Idiot bans stuff then cry a whole book on the stupid aftereffects (and get himself iceaxed)

"At the moment of completion of the civil war, this struggle took such sharp forms as to threaten to unsettle the state power. In March 1921, in the days of the Kronstadt revolt, which attracted into its ranks no small number of Bolsheviks, the 10th Congress of the party thought it necessary to resort to a prohibition of factions – that is, to transfer the political regime prevailing in the state to the inner life of the ruling party. This forbidding of factions was again regarded as an exceptional measure to be abandoned at the first serious improvement in the situation. At the same time, the Central Committee was extremely cautious in applying the new law, concerning itself most of all lest it lead to a strangling of the inner life of the party."

Trotsky is funny like that

When I was doing fieldwork in the southern Andes in Patagonia, being from the high country of NZ/Aotearoa, I wore the mountain heavy weather garb of my people (viz: Broad felt hat, full length caped oilskin duster raincoat, good big leather hill boots, and because I'm also assigned geologist, belt and holster with long handled wooden rockhammer that was long enough to be an iceaxe or short staff).

This got me some looks from the locals, but one of my field assistants asked for me to bring one of those coats for him next season.

Anyway, I spent a lot of time between fieldwork in the local big town of the Aysen region, Coyhaique, and for a brief few summers in the mid '90s I was sufficiently oftenly seen there that I was recognised by many of the locals as some form of Cryptid. In particular, there was a local street lurker, living rough, and he and I had essentially the same silhouette, as he also wore a long, many layered and battered oilskin coat. But he hat better boots, proper Gandalf grade boots. We were at 'we don't share a mutual langauge well enough to talk, but will give each other the head nod gesture from across the square because we share a Look' level of contact.

One time a shopkeeper was hassling him a bit (mostly good humouredly) and I happened to be passing on the other side of the street, and he added me to his rant, which from my bad spanish was something along the lines of 'Look out, there's more than one of us, there's the other, we could hex you if you don't pay us respect', so I fluffed up my coat and looked street wizardly with stern eye in mutual support.

Then we swirled off in our separate directions, long coats whirling dramatically in the wind.

you have to pretend to be a wizard sometimes, for your health. the obvious method is d&d, but you can also open the dishwasher on cold mornings and raise your arms dramatically as you're enveloped in the steam, or you can find a really good stick to walk around in the woods with, or you can run a bizarrely dedicated rp blog on tumblr. but it's an important component of human well being to occasionally pretend to be a wizard.
