Any point before 5 February: No time like the present to be a terrible guest. One fine morning, Daenerys’s companion Drogon returns to her his latest catch — a tattered grey coat that is more patches than garment, brought down from the 12th floor — the site of the lighthouse lanterns, and good Zenobius’ sleeping abode. It appears Drogon hasn’t helped the coat’s wear and tear, with its frayed edges now also showing signs of heavy burning. He brings down various items from Zenobius’s lair — all rags and debris, torn tools and trinkets, such as half-finished clocks and mechanical gear. Zenobius’s scent fascinates the dragon.
Drogon takes to following Zenobius around, often neglecting Daenerys’s calls or orders. He spends much of his time on the 10th floor — in a fortuitous turn of events for Five, who finds himself in the level’s hall of mirror shards, every time he seeks to teleport anywhere. Even when Five doesn’t, he is compelled to the floor, a part of him wishing to be close to the halls. The shards give him a feeling of distanced, eerie coldness, very similar to that of the mirror already inside of him.
At one point, when Five has been compelled to piece together some shards of a dark silver mirror, he sees the very pale blue eye of another man staring from within. To his luck (?), Drogon flies in, calling on Daenerys to follow him, and destroys the reconstructed mirror part.
One dragon can only do so much. Hereon, Five and Daenerys both feel called to restitch the dark silver mirror, one fine shard at a time. Every time they connect another shard, they briefly lose a memory, for something like a 6-hour span. The memory losses deepen the longer they spend gazing into their reconstruction, giving them an air not unlike that of poor, perpetually confused Zenobius.
The lost memories need not be the same ones every time, and it’s up to you whether they are minor or major. Sharing the work with others spread out the memory losses, but it will also condemn new participants to feeling compelled to piece back the mirror themselves. ( Five and Daenerys would not ICly know this. )
As pieces accrue, Five and Daenerys start to see a man wearing a white coat in the restitched mirror.
How much of the mirror do Five and Daenerys reconstruct?
FIVE AND DAENERYS
