[ When the Travellers wake up on
Day 360, they will find themselves in their beds, in their rooms, exactly where they fell asleep the night before, but something will be quite obviously
off about the city. For one, the colours are all inverted, as though the whole of Asgard has gone grey again and the only colour remaining is in the places that were previously without. Odd, but not terribly damaging. It may be discouraging to think that colour will have to be restored all over again, but worse things have happened in the city. At least the city is still intact.
Or perhaps not. As the Travellers attempt to go about their business, it will soon become obvious that its
wrongness extends past poor decorating choices. The city is near empty of all other Travellers, and the natives seem wary to interact with the few that are around. Communicating with them is impossible; the spell that translates all communication into Asgardian is gone and leaving characters to either speak in their native tongue or find alternative methods of communicating. The bracelets are inoperable and cannot connect to the network for anything.
Before long, as the Travellers attempt to figure out what's happening, other differences will become noticeable. Some Travellers' forms will have changed to reflect their true bodies or natures in ways you may not have been aware of. There will be a compulsion curse urging people to tell each other secrets and truths they've kept buried deep. Most importantly for some, their abilities from home will be restored. Please remember that no canon abilities used in the mirror!verse can affect the real Asgard in any way. What happens in the mirror!verse stays in the mirror!verse. More Travellers will start appearing by the evening of the same day, which may or may not be a good thing.
On
Day 361, those previously wary natives will become outright
hostile, attacking the Travellers on sight by any means available to them. They might even follow you home and throw rocks through your windows or riot against your workplace. You are strangers in their land and they want you
out, almost as badly as the Fire Giants do. And there
will be Giants, as they begin to fall into the city alongside more of your fellow Travellers. They will arrive immediately bewildered and frightened, attacking out of base instinct and desperation. As both the Giants and the natives attempt to drive the Travellers out of this strange version of Asgard, the sky will start sprinkling dust in random bursts, but this is by no means as threatening as the guy coming at you with a kitchen knife.
The fighting continues to escalate through
Day 362 as more Travellers and Giants fall into the mirror!verse. Dust continues to fall more frequently and large cracks can be seen running across the sky, a bad omen for the fate of those living beneath it, a notion that will become literal by
Day 363 when everything goes off the charts.
The colours will blow out of proportion in random places, some appearing like overexposed photos while others fall into black and white or sepia, or a mixture of anything and everything in between. The truth compulsion wears off for some, while other start to feel compelled even further to profess their secrets to anyone that will listen. Frost Giants will begin appearing alongside more and more Fire Giants and Travellers. The city becomes full to bursting with things that want the Travellers dead, until even the city itself starts ejecting them. Those whose canon abilities returned will die painfully all throughout the day as their magic is rejected by Yggdrasil's. As everything begins collapsing, the sky comes down with it like massive shards of broken glass that shatter upon impact and immediately kill anyone caught beneath it, leaving empty dark holes where the sky once was. Everything is wrong wrong
wrong, and there seems no hope of correcting it.
At least, not from this side of the veil. Your fate will be left in the hands of another, and what they decide may come to surprise you ... ]

OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for characters in
the mirror-Asgard at any point during the

November 27 because you are going into this one just as blind as your characters!
