January Event: Fade to Black

JANUARY EVENT: FADE TO BLACK
Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Your true self comes to roost
When: January 21st - 23rd; January 25th - 28th
Where: All over!
Warnings: Dark subjects such as violence and self-destruction are likely to come to the forefront - please mark your content accordingly!
Down in that Darkness

This log is primarily for the Shadow and Light portions of the event, for ease and convenience. Your Shadow can be either the Persona-inspired sort - a "brutal, bitterly honest recreation of a character's worst flaws, darkest fears, and deepest secrets" - or the edgier, more laughable variant. The Lights, on the other hand, will do their utmost to convince their real selves of their best qualities, no matter how little they want to hear them.

Remember that the Shadows will be present from January 21st to January 23rd, and the Lights will be present from January 25th to January 28th.

On January 25th, we will post a separate log for Rejection Rooms!

[They nod again, happy to be understood. Yes, yes! They want to see...

No.

They need to see them.]

[ Then they'll take them to see the Hollow Knight - the real one. It should be simple, right?

Right..?

(Hope springs eternal.)

They stand up, taking their hand. It probably won't take long to lead them to where they want to go - or, more accurately, to who they want to go to.

[This Hollow Knight isn't just accepting of holding their sibling's hand. They seem outright delighted by it.

And it really doesn't take that long. The Hollow Knight does not especially have any reason to think they should be avoiding anyone, what with everyone's shadows seeming to be gone now. They're... well. Preoccupied would be the wrong word. They are focused, in their own way, on the world around them. Mostly this means wandering around, curious but not entirely... letting themselves be.

Their light self halts, before getting too close. They still want to do this, of course. They need to see their true self. But they look down at the little bug by their side.

...The Knight needs to be here. Though, perhaps... they should approach their true sibling alone, first? The Light Hollow Knight nods over to their true self, hoping to convey this.]
lightlessfuture: find happiness (👁️‍🗨️ may those who accept their fate)

[ The Knight looks up at their sibling's counterpart, and at their sibling, and...tries to understand, at least.

It's an easy thing, to approach them now. Once it was more difficult, tangled up in their feelings as they were, but resolution has brought them a kind of aching, quiet relief.

So they let go of the Light's hand, and dart towards their sibling with their usual quickness. Reaching up to tug at their cloak to grab their attention, to cling to their hand like it's the most natural thing in the world for them to do.

[The real Hollow Knight doesn't react as quickly as their Light counterpart. It takes a second for them to look down at their little sibling. Oh. There they are.

They look at them curiously. What does their sibling want from them...?]
lightlessfuture: (♪ sing "nonomori" - endless corridors)

[ They tug at their hand gently but insistently. Making a gesture towards the other Hollow Knight, watching them from a distance.

There's someone they should meet.
