hey just wondering if anyone else has seen the person walking around wearing a mirror on their face? like people can wear whatever they want but 1) it's a bit extra and 2) it's sort of nightmare fuel adjacent because of the way it reflects, you know, the darkness and makes it look like there's no face

so if it's one of you reading this, thank you for your creepy efforts. Or maybe someone can just commiserate with me that it's not a good look

Don't look into it and perhaps you will be spared night terrors.

[ Because...because you see your own face--get it??? ]

[endlessflask]

my grade nine bully called and he wants his insults back

[reek]

I'm simply commiserating with you that it isn't a good look.

[ By being a ninth grade bully. ]

[endlessflask]

i thought you were going to hop back on the boat when it came back

[ joke's on you, the ninth grade bully is dead ]

[reek]

Then I'm sure you'll inform me when you've seen it come back.

[ SURE HOPE THE NINTH GRADE BULLY DOESN'T END UP HERE, THEN. ]

[endlessflask]

i figured you'd stowed away with the night market when they packed up
you seem like you're in better spirits

[reek]

I'm not a stowaway.

[ He has more self respect than that. ]

Better spirits for a time. I may as well enjoy myself before I wake up again.

[ He's figured it out, you see. This is a dream. ]

[endlessflask]

Yeah I'm thinking that's gonna be a while

[reek]

Think whatever you like. It's my dream, not yours.

[ HE CAN WAKE UP WHENEVER HE WANTS. ]

You...saw the mirror mask guy? Was he really tall and wearing a cloak?

voice;

[endlessflask]

Thank God I'm not crazy. I didn't really look, the mask was sort of hard to ignore. He had a bunch of clothes, though, and I think things for sewing?

voice;

[sublimebeast]

I saw him a long time ago... I guess I never mentioned it 'cause I didn't know if mirror masks were unusual or not.

The guy I saw was in a cloak and smelled like onions... He also stole my lantern. If you see him again watch out for that.

[endlessflask]

Jesus. I couldn't really tell, what with the whole mask thing, but he seemed pretty uninterested in me. I tried to see where he went to figure out what all the clothes were for, but he sort of just. Vanished into the dark.

[sublimebeast]

Where did you see him?

[endlessflask]

He was leaving the general store.

[sublimebeast]

Huh...

I guess spirits do go shopping around here...

But people in that area should keep their guard up. I dunno if that spirit is evil exactly but he's trouble. I only got my lantern back 'cause I was faster than him...

Or her, I guess.

Them.

[A thoughtful hum...]

Was the mirror intact?

[endlessflask]

It looked like. It was hard to tell with everything reflected off it.

[sublimebeast]

They musta gotten another mask... or there's more than one.

When I chased 'em they tripped and the mask shattered.

[endlessflask]

Oh, good, I'm so glad.

I was recently approached by a mirrored spirit. Did yours follow you?

voice;

[endlessflask]

No. I mean, God, I hope not? He disappeared into the woods.

[meridio]

The spirit who followed me was small. When I lowered my guard, they touched my lantern and then scattered.

[endlessflask]

Shit.

[meridio]

I know not what the intention was. Be cautious of your lantern, wherever you may be.

wtf. have you seen them again?

[ You'd think people wouldn't pull shit like this in the afterlife, but she's met enough things that go bump to know better. ]

[endlessflask]

just once a couple days ago

[ghostmagnet]

as if being trapped in eternal night wasn't bad enough, someone just has to go and make it weirder. i really hope it's not a fellow dead or whatever person being a dick to kill time.

[ Is it weird that she wants to go find mirror face to try remove the mask like a bad Scooby Doo reveal? ]

[endlessflask]

i like to think the people are moderately too good to pull dick moves like that

[ghostmagnet]

Yeah, that's fair. I've also met too many angry ghosts to believe that all dead people can find their chill.

[ Like when a ghost of a rogue wannabe Pythia went back in time 1500 years to release a god. It's fine. ]
