Eugene Fitzherbert | Magic Mirror

i-1. reflect on yourself
[Eugene has seen his fair share of...crazy, but the whole "personality" changing going on, especially switching to potentially murderous ones, is starting to rank high up there. CAN PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD STAY NORMAL FOR LONGER THAN A DAY PLEASE. Fortunately for him he's been taking to the "Stixen" side more often than not when he is affected, and he's also figured something out.

The reflections from his mirrors actually helps by occasionally reflecting his true self. Since he's still new at this it's not always reliable, but hey—a roughly 40%-60% chance is better than none, right? Plus he can get a lot of practice with this.

So Eugene can be found in one of the following places:]


[ a. at the plaza. ]
Step right up, step right up! Be it going off to cause evil or doing good, you've got to look your best! So come on over and take a nice, good look at yourself and leave it to me to make sure you look the part.

[With a bunch of full and half length mirrors set up around him (a few of them even floating), Eugene merrily waves over anyone he can to get their attention. And if he's feeling more devious he'll even casually turn a mirror to catch the light and aim the reflection right into the person's eyes. Look, this is a matter of life and death for some people, he'll do whatever it takes.

Although, he may be less keen on attracting the more...volatile looking ones, but no, he must steel himself!

If his "Stixen" side is in play, he'll be more amiable and coaxing for those affected to come over. He may even try to recruit others who are fellow "Stixens" or still sane.]


[ b. you get a mirror and you get a mirror— ]
[When not staying at the plaza, Eugene will dart around the town to see if he can find others to use his mirrors on. And when he does spot someone behaving strangely (most likely a "Hyde,") he'll first try to grab their attention—]

Hey! You're looking a little...wow, that's rough. Have you checked yourself in a mirror lately?

[—and hold up a mirror right in front of them.]


[ooc: HOW THE MIRRORS WORK: basically if someone looks at their reflection in the mirror, it should reflect their original selves (whether it be their Story Realm version or original world version). It could be static or even a brief memory of sorts that reflects something key to their character. The intention is for it to create enough to make affected characters start to question their current selves and help them snap out of it. Of course, whether it works immediately is random chance. It eventually will, especially the longer someone is exposed to the mirror or if Eugene is able to conjure a few more to up the chances, but it's still variable on how long it takes for someone's original appearance to reflect on the mirror as well as actually register it.

It is possible for Eugene to "loan" out mirrors, but it's a very small range. Go too far and the mirror will just poof.]
