'Yeah, we do. This, what you're see," she said, sweeping her arm out to indicate the room and the scenery around here, "isn't real. What you're seeing is an illusion cast by Gloria, a sentient doll who's kidnapped us and brought us to this house. We're trying to get out of here." She paused wanting to see if the other girl was going to believe her or if she was going to have to try a different tactic. She looked out of the corner of her eye, making sure that the other two that were still entrapped by Gloria's spell were still in the room and still doing alright.

As she listened, she didn't want to believe what the other woman was saying, but the words hit her in a way that was impossible to ignore. It was the name 'Gloria' that really began to break through everything going on around her.

An illusion cast by Gloria.

A moment passed, as Orlaith struggled with herself, before she blinked and the illusion broke, and she saw herself back where she was meant to be.

Sailor Titan paused for a second, getting her bearings, before smiling sheepishly. "I'm sorry about that," she said. "Thank you for getting me out of there. Is there anything I can do to help?"

A part of her couldn't help but to be a little regretful that it really all had only been an illusion after all.

"Just stay with the others and keep an eye out for anything that could harm us," she said gently. Standing up, she quickly made her way over to Toni, who were speaking to what looked like her parents. Her parents have been dead for a long time, a spirit whispered to her. Thank you, that will help me be able to get through to her, she mentally said to the spirit. This one wasn't going to be easy. She hated that she had to tell the woman that these really weren't her parents. Amina hated to cause someone pain, but in this case, it was necessary to get them out of there.

"Sailor Iron Woman, listen to me," Sailor Soul said, making sure she placed herself between the senshi and the illusion of the woman's parents. "These are not your parents. This is nothing but an illusion. Your parents are dead and have been. I know this hurts to hear, but you need to remember where we are and why we are here. Remember Gloria."

Sailor Iron Woman/Toni Stark

Toni shook her head when Amina stepped between her and her parents. Her first reaction was to shove the other woman out of the way, but something about what she said clicked within her. It was an illusion.. Yeah that made sense. She knew they were dead. She shook her head her eyes closed, trying o shake the illusion from her eyes and mind.

"Yeah, yeah." She said quietly Tears still ran down her cheeks it hurt yes, but not like really loosing them did. This wasn't real. "I really want to dismantle that doll." Toni muttered under her breath as she let herself be guided away from the illusion by Amina. "Thanks." Toni muted before getting to the others. She never would have broken free of that on her own. It pained her to think that what she wanted more than anything was for her parents to be alive again. She thought she had gotten beyond their deaths.

Ok, just one more to go and they were home free...and by home free she meant hopefully maybe safe in the next room. She walked over to the young girl and steeled herself. She had a feeling this one wasn't going to be easy. First thing was first, if she was able to separate the girl from the illusion, it would be easier to bring her back to reality. Bracing herself for the anger she knew she was about to be hit with, Amina grabbed the younger girls arm, and pulled hard, making sure she backed up a few steps so that the girl would stumble away from the illusion. She made sure to keep an arm on the girl so she wouldn't trip and fall flat on her face.

"Hey crazy girl who likes to protect menacing dog creatures who try and kill us, it's time for you to come back to reality. I know that guy over there is your love, but he's not real. We are trapped in a dollhouse by a crazy animated doll named Gloria who has taken us here against our will. We're trying to get out," she said, grabbing the younger girls face so that she had no choice but to look at Amina. She felt bad that she had the grip the girl hard enough that she was probably going to leave bruises, but oh well. She had to do what she had to do.

Serenity gasped as she was yanked off of her perch,
forced to stand and move away from Endymion.  A strange-but-familiar woman was talking to her in a very stern manner, telling her that what she saw wasn't real.  Serenity tried to pull her arms away, but the girl's grip was too strong.  "How dare you?!" she shouted, struggling to be free.  "Unhand me!"

Endymion stood, putting a hand on Serenity's shoulder.  She froze.  

"Don't leave me here all alone," he pleaded.  Serenity's heart began beating out of her chest, wanting desperately to stay with the man she loved.  But as the voice of the girl holding her echoed through her mind, Serenity decided to go with her head for once.  

"You're not Endymion," she said.  Endymion froze, his eyes wide in shock.  "Your hands are cold," Serenity queried.  At her sudden realization, the dress on her body disappeared, as did Endymion, leaving her back in her regular senshi fuku.  She turned to Amina, giving her a grateful smile.  "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I know that wasn't easy," she said, smiling ruefully. Thank you spirit for your help, Amina whispered in her mind, releasing the loaned power. She gently lead the other girl to the group. "Alright guys, how about we get out of here? I've already unlocked the door, but I don't know what's in there, so we need to be on our guard. Hopefully we can find a way out soon. Is everyone ready?" she looked around at the little group before heading to the doorway. She took a deep breathe praying last minute that everything would go well before stepping through to the new room.

I am cracking up so hard right now. You are hilarious Addelyn.... XD:

Sailor Soul had successfully freed her friends, but by Gloria's revenge, was in for a surprise.  The moment Sailor Soul entered the next room, she vanished... or did she? The next room had a black floor, and was wall to wall with mirrors. 


"Gloria can play too!" 


Task:
Sailor Soul has been transported into the mirrors. Each mirror has Sailor Soul in it, but which one is the real her? Work together to determine the real Sailor Soul, and which is the illusion.


Sailor Soul:
Convince the girls  Each time you move or talk, the mirrored clones mimic you. Just how will you stand out over the clones? :O 


You have until 6pm est

Sailor Ganymede lost sight of Sailor Soul as soon as she stepped into the next room. At first, he assumed that it was just really dark in there, but when he followed after, there was no sign of her. The only things in the room were mirrors.

"Is this another trick?" he asked, looking at the mirrors suspiciously.

Sailor Moon started to panic.  Where did her companion go?!  She stepped into the room, following Sailor Ganymede.  The only thing she could see were multiple mirrors placed around the room.  Upon further examination, she realized that Sailor Soul was in each mirror.  How was she going to tell who was real and who was fake?

She wracked her brains for any piece of information that could help.  "Sailor Soul..." she whispered, biting back tears.  She was so tired of this house and the torment they were being put through.  

Determined to get her new friend out safely, Sailor Moon said, "There has to be some way we can identify her.  Is there anything any of you know that could help us single her out?"

Leah was scared enough as it was and now Sailor Soul was gone. Leah hugged herself as she thought of a way to save sailor soul, she looked around and saw all the mirrors with sailor soul is in all of them. She looked around and thought she would never be able to choose. She looked up and saw a mirror in the ceiling and she said feeling with confidence "i think sailor soul is in the mirror on the ceiling"

Sailor Soul felt dizzy as she disappeared from the room they had just entered and appeared in another one. It was dark in front of her. She turned around and could see the room she had just entered and her companions standing there. Amina could also see that there were lots of mirrors in the room and every time she moved, they did the same action as she. Oh this cant be good, she thought desperately, feeling panic well up in her chest.

"Can you guys hear me?" she called out.

"Yeah," Ganymede said, walking farther into the room. "The problem's that there's a bunch of mirror copies of you." He watched the mirrors closely, but they all showed the exact same image. "Can you mark which one is really you or something?"

Orlaith/Sailor Titan

When Sailor Soul vanished, Titan knew that the group was in for yet another obstacle. She just hoped that Sailor Soul would be okay during this one. The group all were new to each other, but Sailor Titan had come to know them all, a little bit, and she didn't want harm to come to any one of them.

Hearing Soul's voice was a relief. "We can hear you," Titan told her along with Ganymede. After Ganymede's suggestion, Titan frowned, feeling skeptical. "I'm not sure that would work. Those copies are all doing the same thing as her. I imagine they would just mark the mirror in the same way. I bet Gloria would want to make this as difficult as possible for us."

But she didn't have any new ideas of her own. "We can try that though," she said. "It couldn't hurt to try, right?"

Sailor Moon looked up at the mirror on the ceiling, wondering if Leah was right.  Suddenly, and idea struck her.  "Are the mirrors fragile?" she asked, hoping that maybe Sailor Soul could break out.  There had to be some way they could identify her...

"I"m over here!" She called out, banging against the glass. She groaned as she realized that no matter what she said or did, the other mirrors did the same as her. How in the world was she suppose to get them to the right mirror?

"Well, that didn't help..." Ganymede closed his eyes in thought. " Can you...use any of your powers? Maybe the mirrors can't copy that."

"Alright, hopefully this works," she said, backing up a few steps. "Soul Blast." Sailor Soul watched as the glowing ball left her hands and rocketed towards the mirror in front of her. The mirror glowed, looking and her orb disappeared.

"What the heck?" she muttered before yelping and hitting the floor as the mirror flung her attack back at her.

(Let's finish the mirror room ASAP. We have a lot to do yet; ) )

Toni hadn't said much to this point she had been studying the mirrors. She was trying to find the one with this Sailor Soul. She knew that she could find it a clue something to give away where the real Sailor Soul was. Maybe there was a delay in the movements of the fakes and the real one. Toni only kept watching.

When she tried to blast her way out all the Souls tried at once, all hitting the floor as the attack was fired back at them. "Did anyone catch and heat or energy from that attack?" Toni asked looking around. "If the real Soul attacked there would have been an effect on the mirrors." The genius senshi didn't go into details but started looking at the mirrors closest to her, her hands on them as she walked up and down the room.

"Ladies and Gents."Toni said. "I have an idea that might work. Well a couple of ideas, but one thing at at a time." She turned to face the group. "If everyone will put their hands on two mirrors side by side, the Soul can attack again. Keep your hands there, and if you feel any heat or reaction, energy anything say something." Toni looked around the room." We'll go around the room like that till we find her. So I guess ladies and gents line up and let's try to save Soul."

Toni hoped this would work. They needed to move on.

Sailor Moon smiled.  "Great idea!" she said, placing both hands on two different mirrors.  This girl was really smart.

She held her breath, focusing all of her attention on her hands so that she wouldn't miss it if she ended up having the right mirror.

If this didn't work, she had another idea in mind.

Leah walked over to the other side of the room. She thought Toni's idea was a good one. She placed her hands on two mirrors and blocked out everything and everyone else. If it was one thing Leah was good at, it was concentrating on something in front of her that was important. 

As an artist she had learned to block everything out so she could create her masterpieces, she hoped Sailor Soul would be free soon.

"I guess that makes sense." It sounded scientific enough to him. Sailor Ganymede shrugged and touched two more mirrors, before closing his eyes and concentrating. At least attacking the mirrors had led to something useful.

Amina waited before everyone was in position before forming another attack. She shot it off quickly, diving for the floor to avoid any attacks aimed back at her. She really didn't want to be stuck in these mirrors forever and prayed that this worked. It was actually a good idea, what Toni came up with. Her attacks did cause thermal dynamic changes, making the area around it colder.

"Did anyone feel anything?" she asked quietly as she climbed to her feet.

Toni took her place at the end of the line with her hands on the mirrors. She waited for Soul to fire her attack then she closed her eyes and focused on her palms hoping that the attack caused some sort of reaction to the mirror. There were a few other mirrors in the room that they may have to try before they found her.

'Come on come on.' Toni thought tightly closing her eyes as she felt the rumble from the attack but no heat. "I got nothing at these two so she's not in here." The genius senshi said taking her hands from the reflective glass.

"Any one else have better luck?"

Sailor Moon shook her head.  "Nothing here."  She went to the next two mirrors and placed both hands on them.  Maybe someone else felt it?

When Sailor Soul attacked the mirrors again, Ganymede felt something from one of them.

"Is it supposed to turn cold?" he asked keeping his hand on the affected mirror. It felt more like a piece of ice than glass now.

Leah had hoped she would be able to feel something on one of her mirrors, but she too felt nothing other than the glass that was beneath her petite hand. She turned to the group saying in a defeated tone, "I did't feel anything either."


Leah hoped someone would feel something and that soul would be set free, and they could move forward and get the heck out of this place.

"My powers don't give off heat because they are spirit based, and spirits don't give off heat," she called. The only problem was is that it was Leah that was standing in front of her but every time she tried to open her mouth, she felt her voice stuck in her throat. She wondered if it was a spell that Gloria did, to make this situation more complicated.

Sailor Moon snapped her fingers.  "I have an idea!  One of us can walk around, and when we get near you, do something to signify that we're close!  Then maybe we could free you."
