The Hall of Mirrors - Game Premise

Jul 25, 2008 08:50

Short Version

There is a room of mirrors, connecting all worlds, all fandoms. The Endless have added communication between them, without having to physically enter and cross over. People think you're krazy, quite a lot, for believing in other worlds, other fandoms - but you know better.

Do you dare to believe?

A lot of people you know probably think you're mad, but you know better. You know fandoms are real. You know you are in a fandom yourself. You, are the figment of someone's imagination.

And you've found the Key.

On every world, there is a portal. Often there are several, and you can find them if you know, not so much where to look but, how to See. Some are very secret, hidden away, forgotten. Others are hidden in plain sight. The Arc De Triumph is one of the largest portals on Earth. The portals all come unlocked with the same Key. Belief.

You just need to know how to see them. They can be any door, any threshold, a place between places. The edge of a forest, a stream, a road. The door to a building, the arch of a bridge. In ancient times, they knew. They Believed. They thought the portals only led to Faerie... but then isn't any other world considered a different, advanced, frightening land of Faerie to those who know no different? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, after all. Anything different to what one knows, could be considered so. You know that the only way of discovering the limits of the possible, is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. And now you know the impossible is possible. As long as you Believe.

The simplest time to cross over is at the Time-Between-Times. Twilight, Midnight, Dawn, Noon. The turn of the seasons, the turn of a year. This is most likely when you stumbled across the secret to believing. If you Believe enough, you can cross other times as well, if your Desire is strong - you can go anywhere.

Believe. Truly believe, and step through the portal threshold into the Room of Mirrors. Each looking glass is a portal to another realm, another 'fandom'. Each arch names its destination above your reflection (or perhaps lack thereof). Not the destination of place, simply of reality. Dozens upon dozens of realities.

The Endless (Destiny, Destruction, Desire, Despair, Death, Dream, and Delirium) rule all worlds, as they do this room. The portals are under their domain. They found a way, first with cryptically addressed letters, and then through the internet. A thin, invisible cable runs now through the room between worlds, a tendril reaching into each mirror-portal and sending a wireless signal that any who may, can access.

People think you're krazy, quite a lot, who would believe you? But you know better.

You have the key.

You BELIEVE.
