itp: not your face but your heart's desire

[floralingual]

[ today in the center of camp, there are a number of large antique mirrors set up. looking into one of them will show not only you, but also your heart's deepest and most desperate desire. be careful, because the people around you will be able to see it too. good luck figuring out what's going on! ]

[ is wordlessly staring at this young woman in the mirror, and has even reached out a hand as if almost to touch her. he's even smiling a little at the image! it's... just a very, very sad kind of smile ]

Foley, look away.

[drfeelgold]

[ startles and draws his hand back. he doesn't turn around but he does turn his head to glance in your direction ]

... What is this?

[needsahandjob]

It's a reflection of your dead ex-girlfriend, what do you think?

[drfeelgold]

[ turns back to stare at the image again. his voice is completely flat ]

I meant the mirror.

[needsahandjob]

Bad news. So stop looking.

[drfeelgold]

[ stares at it quietly for another long moment, before turning sharply on his heel. his eyes stay locked on the ground as he walks away from the mirror, finally coming to a stop somewhere past Julian's shoulder. for the sake of our continued ability to not talk about Feelings, you might not want to look at his face right now ]

This place will mess with you until you stop caring. It's better to get it over with now.

We're leaving.

[he grabs Josh's arm and drags.]

[drfeelgold]

[ ker-dragged. there is absolutely no resistance from Josh, but the only time he looks up is to take one last look back at the mirror before looking down at the ground again ]

[needsahandjob]

I told you not to look.

[drfeelgold]

[ sorry man, Josh isn't quite up to speaking let alone snarking at the moment ]

[needsahandjob]

There's nothing this place has to show you that's worth seeing. Ever.

[drfeelgold]

[ is not in any position to disagree at the moment. still keeping his gaze firmly on the ground but is not paying any kind of attention to where they're going ]

Hey! You better not be going catatonic on me!
