CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER 5




Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.

Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?

Snow!

Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.

Of their wishes.

Who will try to reach their wish this time?

[[Welcome to Week 5! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

I wonder about that... It sounds as though they certainly hold far more power here than I ever would have imagined! Maybe we should keep them all covered up from now on...

I think that would be wise. After all the stories of people getting sucked into them, I've already covered up the one in my room. Even if the letters insist they are important, I can't find myself trusting something that seems so obviously sinister.

I don't know how much we can trust the letters either... I still think it's possible those are from the fairies.

[Because that makes more sense than them being from the dead. People die when they're killed!!!!!!]

Still, breaking all of them doesn't sound like a great idea either...

I'd say we should simply lock all of them into an unused room, but who knows what kind of powers might be set free by many mirrors converging in a small space...

[ Maybe it will open up a portal like the one that ate Lucifer in the execution room... no thanks. ]

Covering them up and waiting to see what use they might have if any is the least radical and most careful option in the end.

Ja, and we should play it safe with them. It's not like we can really put them back together if we break them all!
vogelfrei: (serious; lost in thought)

Though this would beg the question at what size a mirror is a mirror - in a way, a mirror shard is just a smaller version of the same thing. Would it hold the same power?

Oh, I hadn't even considered that... That is a bit confusing, isn't it? Shattering a mirror may not actually help at all, then... Better to avoid it in general, I suppose!

[shame about some of the rest of us and their seven years' bad luck this week!!]
