Mirror, o mirror

Who: Lily, Winter, others [OPEN to friendly Vegas dwellers, except where noted.]
What: ~~Requisite mid-season magical girl power up time~~ Lily has called people nearby to talk and try and get a handle on who's around. Also, she has this nifty thing! ... too bad she doesn't know how to make it work ...
Where: We're going to say a food court somewhere - let's say the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood in Vegas. They have places where random gatherings could just converge.
When: Monday, September 15th, Mid-Afternoon

Lily wasn't content to just sit around. No, they did need to do something, and the first part of that would have to be discussion.

She's nervous about being back here still, of course. That memory of the Vermini tearing into her suddenly became much more vivid once they were within the Vegas boundaries again, but... There are other things they have to focus on.

So, on Monday morning she tries to get hold of whoever she can that might be nearby, and tells them where to meet up. It's nothing but an informal meeting, no grand plans are going to be discussed as far as she can figure, but... touching base, in person, with whoever she can feels like something that should happen.

[ Two Sub-Threads: One for general free-form mingling, and another for reactions to A Thing. ]

At the very least, they were in a place with people. Even if a place that was having its climate massive screwed with by suddenly being elevated more than it should have been. Still, leave it to Las Vegas to still keep things running, especially around its casinos.

As it's a place with people, and not some dark back alley where monsters could leap out and rip out her throat, Lily is much less looking around warily for such things. Still, you're here for a reason, right?

"...at least in the long run, I do have this." At some point or another, Lily pulls out of her purse - which she has had to up size a couple times now thanks to various magical trinkets - what appears to be a small, pink vanity mirror. "Don't laugh, either. I got a memory of the Heartcatch Precure using it to defeat a dragon. I just... haven't figured out what else I'm supposed to do with it, or if I can even use it without the rest of Yuri's team."

She gives a slight sigh, casting a look towards Winter.

"Still, we're all in kind of a bind now, if we could use it it'd be useful..." She frowns, and idly without thinking about it sort of ends up thumbing buttons on top of the item. Four of them, in particular - and she seems to hit a certain sequence.

Which causes it to light up. Lily can scarcely get a reaction out, as the glow suddenly encompasses both her and Winter and they just...

Vanish, as if into thin air.

[ OOC - No replies from Lily OR Winter will be in this thread, but feel free to react however~ ]

Neither have really asked for it, but both Lily Tsukuyomi and Winter Adamas have been pulled somewhere.

Separately.

The location and setting will be different for each of them.

What they must face will be similar, yet equally as different.

Their shadows are coming for them, and either they must learn to overcome and accept the darkness of their pasts and their minds, or they're going to be stuck here.

Forever.

Jasmine showed up, she was expected to, after all. And even though she'd been keeping everyone at arm's length, she'd shown up all the same. Still, she'd been moody that entire week, and was clearly hiding something.

She was also wearing contacts for the first time in years, but that wasn't as obvious. Back when she was younger, she'd done it to hide her heterochromia, but this time? She was trying to preserve the image out of hopes that she could hide the fact that both of her eyes were now gold-colored.

Of course, it didn't end up looking quite right when one looked closely. Yellow was an odd color, after all.

In any case, Jasmine was sitting alone, leaning her head on one shoulder and appearing for all intents and purposes to be lost in thought.

Well duh Marina's going to be there. It's where everyone else is going, and she's not gonna miss out on being able to be a social butterfly - or at least make an attempt at it. She was still a bit less good at it than she thought she was after all.

This was, of course, not all fun and games. All of them need to be ready for what was going to happen in the future, and they needed to know who was available and how available they were, and how willing they were to stay that way. Marina couldn't duck out of that either, although she always feels a little out of place when it comes to planning things, leaving her bugging people when she sees the opportunity and nibbling at a soft pretzel when she isn't.

[once Lily vanished, Jasmine shot up, a yellow glow around her supposedly multicolored eyes. Her lips curled into a snarl as she surged towards the seemingly harmless trinket, trying to grab it and shake it]

Where are they?! WHERE DID THEY GO!? BRING THEM BACK!

Unlike Lily, Linda's just a tad bit more paranoid, her eyes basically going everywhere in whatever direction possible. Sure, Lily might not be super worried, but Lily also had super powers and Linda didn't. Also there were crazy cultists.

And what happened immediately after the last time she had come out to places with people from the network.

So yeah, Linda's not really being all that talkative at first, but she does eventually start to relax after a little bit. With everyone here, it wasn't like something terrible was going to happen. No one was going to get hurt or killed or anything. If the cultists tried anything, they'd probably be regretting it almost immediately.

Still... she hated feeling so useless. There had to be something that she could do to help everyone else, since it didn't look like powers was going to be something that she was going to get anytime soon.

Jasmine! [ PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT IF THEY ARE INSIDE OF IT, LITERALLY, PHYSICALLY??? Marina, freaked out as she was, mustered up enough awareness to throw herself at Jasmine bodily, clinging and trying to pull at her arms. ]

Do not! Break! The thingy!

Marina! [tackling Jasmine right now is like trying to tackle a brick wall, but she stumbles back a bit due to momentum]

You don't-! [there are tears in her eyes as she holds the thing aloft] I can't-! I can't do nothing while someone is taken again!

[ Linda was a bit less vocal in her shock at seeing Lily and Winter vanish. At least at first. Before she started to back up a bit, trembling as she stares at the no longer innocent looking... toylike mirror thing. ]

Oh god. They're.... they're... what the hell!? How the hell!? Why the...

[ Yeah. She... isn't all that coherent right now. Until Marina tackling Jasmine finally whips her out of her thoughts.]

I'm... I'm going to go ask for help about this. Maybe someone else knows something about magical mirrors that... do this. [ Speaking of, she is totally fishing for her phone now. ]

[ If Marina wasn't totally sure that Jasmine wouldn't hurt her, she'd actually be a little scared of trying to restrain someone who could snap her like a twig. Even then she had to hope that Jasmine wouldn't try to shrug her off and put her through a plastic chair or something, as badly as she was already panicking. ]

Just... give it... a moment... seriously! If you break it there might not be a way back!

[Jasmine grits her teeth, looking absolutely terrified... before slowly nodding, and lowering her arms. She puts the blasted thing aside like it's made of fire and would burn her if she continued to touch it.

Then, she slumped, going limp in Marina's arms and bursting into tears]

[ Linda finally manages to pick up her phone and basically... bangs out a quick message as fast as she can. And staring at the phone and waiting for someone else to actually, you know, answer her. ]

Okay. It's done. Hopefully someone has some idea of what to do with this...

[ She's clenching her phone a bit more tightly than necessary. It's stupid, it's not like that's going to make someone answer her faster. ]

Regardless of where he goes, Julien stands out like a... like a seven-foot harpy creature among humans. He seems utterly relaxed and at ease, though this isn't so. Thanks to the way his eyes are structured he can watch his surroundings closely while seeming to be only idly curious. He'd been out here before years ago. Interesting how it looks different in most ways, and doesn't in a few.

Of course, he smiles at anyone who looks at him, especially if he knows them already.

"Marina!" Julien calls out her name from some distance away, his voice clear and piercing and happy. "My fellow bluenette!"

Julien was farther away when it happened, and feels like an intruder watching Jasmine and Marina react. As the action settles he holds his wings tighter to his body, feeling shaky. Hadn't it happened like this with the teleporter? The people who'd touched it had reappeared, but only after days in the void.

"Shit," he says to himself, and then brings out his phone and texts just are you okay? to Winter's number. She won't see it until next time she uses her number, but doing something makes him feel better.

Britany had arrived in Vegas just that morning... And she was running on a lack of sleep. She'd spent the entire flight awake, playing video games, and enjoying flying first class (drinking OJ out of a champagne glass)... Meaning she was more or less a caffeine zombie right now.

Sitting across from Marina, she blinked a few times. "Wait. Don't I have work in... Wait, no. Murrr...."

[ As terrified as she is, Jasmine's reaction makes it easier, somehow, for Marina to hold herself together, sort of having to drag her into a chair to get her to sit down. ]

We've got so many people here that can try to figure this out... and that's assuming Lily and Winter can't do it on their own. Come on, you know how this magical girl stuff works, right? Maybe it's supposed to do this?

[ ...then again, Dark Precure freaking murdered a cute fairy companion mascot thing so. The rules here may not all apply. ]

Oh hey, it's Birdman. Marina waves, smiling at him. "Oh jeez, are we gonna start using that word now? For the, like, five natural blues in the world?"

"Are you actually alive in there?" Marina poked Brit in the head, trying to jar her into thinking at all, if that were possible in this state.

"I think so?", Rita responded. "I just need more sleep. Soon. Wanted people to see I was okay first, though."

"Sorry to disappoint. I'm not natural! This-" He tosses his head. Julien doesn't actually have hair anymore, it's fine hairlike feathers like on a kiwi. It floats a little more when tossed. "Actually comes in white. So it's deceptive to call myself a 'fellow' bluenette."

"I wasn't natural. But now I am, because Umi was a freaking anime character as far as I can tell." She knows these things from her nerdy girlfriend now! Also, she's right. "But yeah, I guess going totally white would stand out at your age right?"

"Try to get it before you faceplant on the sidewalk or something." At least she didn't mind the poking. Maybe she couldn't even feel it at this point. "It looks like we're all here in one piece, at least."
