    • Mirrors challenge (Special for 100%)

Failed event

Special is calculated as follows: Veils * 1.67


Forgetting, again
She has been here always. You just forget, most of the time. It's easier to deceive other people if you've forgotten her yourself. You'll forget again tomorrow. You're not yet ready to remember all the time.
Successful event
Time remaining
She talks. Or rather: she uses your tongue and your lips to form words, words you see and feel rather than hearing. Your voice is left silent, your throat straining but unsounded. She tells you: the words of a London song about the night sky. The formula that describes an ellipse. The number of bees in a hundredweight. That your fingers have left rusty smudges on your dressing gown again. That the present situation is one in which regrets are not appropriate. She names a date in the near future, without explaining what it means.
Unsee her
Convince yourself the eyes are a human shade. Convince yourself the posture is natural.

Failed event

Special is calculated as follows: Hearts * 1.67


Turn away
You don't want to see. You don't want to understand. You don't want even to wonder. Rip out imagination by the roots. In the morning, you will have fewer eccentricities and fewer existential doubts.

Successful event
The art of interpretation
If you remember this later, you will think of it as a nightmare, brought on by diet or disquiet or some change in the air. If you remember her eyes, you will think of them as a Deviless you once met. If you remember her mouth, you will think of the face of the Empress stamped on a coin. When you have forged a receipt for each thing that worries you, you can sleep again.
