| | Hall of Mirrors The hall of mirrors is not a physical maze, but it is somewhat of an emotional one. There is no visible wall space, every inch is covered with mirrors aside from where the windows are. There is even a central wall much as you might find in a gallery so that more mirrors can be displayed.
Many of the different mirrors will offer you critiques on everything from your fashion sense to the size of your nose to the depth of your bravery ..... or your cowardice. If you don't wish to be called out in unexpected ways perhaps peering into these mirrors is not in your best interest, unless of course you happen to know exactly which frame holds the mirror that will give you the exact compliments you wish to hear.
Beyond the critical mirrors you'll find those which show how you'll look in your old age, or if you happened to be fat, or bone thin, or a different gender from the one assigned to you at birth, and even one that will show you exactly what you'll look like in ten seconds time. None of the mirrors are labelled, it us up to you to figure out what each reflection is showing you, and to deal with the aftermath of what it is you might see.

Freyr entered a room while looking for the bathroom. The room was covered with mirrors but there was something strange about mirrors. They... they didn't show your image directly, some was showing an older version of you, some was showing actually your image but with a different feeling. After trying to look at every one of them, Freyr saw himself on a mirror which showed him his biggest fear. He froze. He couldn't take his eyes from the mirror, he couldn't think anything but the image.

He couldn't take his eyes from the mirror, he couldn't think anything but the image. Fidget spinner in hand, a need to use the loo on his mind, and a whole lotta mirrors in the general vicinity. Ironically, this is not where Finneas meant to wander off to either. It was by absolutely happenstance that he happened upon young Freyr. Uh. In any usual scenario, Professor Schmoe would've just... y'know... bumbled away. But something was the matter. And that mattered. So. "Everything... Alright?" he asked, before taking a look into the mirror--AHH. Babies, toddlers, and owls! Oh my!
This mirror was pretty darn whacky. And unsettling.
Gave him the heebeegeebees. He had to look away. The beady eyes were staring into his soul, man. HIS SOUL.

Freyr didn't notice the Professor for a while, he was too occupied by the freezing fear of being paralyzed by the fear itself. Huh, irony. He was stunned, then he heard him. He said "Hi, are you okay?" then continued "You look like you have seen a ghost, Professor" Then he noticed that he was looking at the mirror too, Freyr said "I am Freyr Njordson, sir" to divert Professor's attention and continued "You are Professor Schmoe, right?"

Finneas chuckled awkwardly as he fixed his bowtie. "I always look like that," it was his face. He always looked like he had just seen a ghost, but there weren't any ghosts. Just some babies and owls. And also, baby owls. Those were the worst. Yeesh, made him shiver just thinking about it. Beady-eyed bum-bums.
Anyway. ANYWAY. AnYwAy.
He smiled uncomfortably, nodding his head. He remembered names. And faces. Most things, really. "Er, yes," again nodding, and looking at a spot just behind young Freyr. A passable point that made it look like he was making eye contact. "What, uh, brings you here, Freyr?" To the mirror hall. Scary weird heebeegeebees mirror hall.

"I am lost, sir," said Freyr and continued "was looking for the bathroom." Freyr still wasn't able to shake the feeling off. Then he told Professor "I guess this one shows the biggest fear of the person looking at it." Freyr carefully stepped back so that he couldn't see the mirror. |

As Finneases do. "A true conundrum, he nodded in slight defeat. A conundrum because conundrum was an excellent word. But also because Finneas, too, was looking for the loo. "That'd be the first time I've seen my fears reflected in a mirror." Ho, ho, ho. Ha, ha, ha, haaa. Er. Well, except for that period in junior high when he looked into the mirror to see an extravagant amount of pimples staring right back at him. That, too, was just as terrifying as owl babies! Though that specific reflection wasn't exactly magically reflected. It was just the scary reality of puberty and hormones. Yikes.
ANYWAY, anyway, ANYWAY. "Surely we can find a way out together. You know what they say..." he paused, adjusting his sweater-vest. "Two heads are better than one." And then he made eye contact. Not for long, but y'know. Anyway. "Shall we?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Luther Apollo Starriver Gryffindor Second Year | Astrophile "Sure" said Freyr quickly and started to look for his way back to the corridor. While walking toward the exit, he thought what a different man was Professor Schmoe. It seemed to Freyr like Professor was definitely shaken with what he has seen in the mirror but was it all? He looked at the Professor and said "Professor, do you know why there is a mirror which shows the person their worst fears in a school?" |

He looked at the Professor and said "Professor, do you know why there is a mirror which shows the person their worst fears in a school?" And with the confirmation, Finneas began leading them down the hall. Like the true fearfulless leader he was. Turning when Freyr spoke, he caught sight of his reflection in another mirror and it nearly made him jump out of his skin. WOO! This was like some strange sort of fun-house. "........ I'm afraid that I cannot provide a good answer for that, Freyr...." Uh. He blinked three times. "Perhaps that is a question one ought to ask the Headmistress." She was a strange woman. Always lookin like she took a bite out of some expired cheese. Maybe she'd have some sound reasoning for this room?

"Yes, maybe, yeah" said Freyr, he was really confused because after all who would hang such a mirror in a SCHOOL? He followed Professor Schmoe and exited the room after saying "I guess I should find Headmistress. Good day, Professor.". |

Oh. Well that was easy.
Ho, ho, ho.
Finneas smiled at the young lad, realizing a little too late that he probably should not have said what he said. The Headmistress would not likely be pleased if a first year went to her office simply to ask about a room. LOL. Well it was too late now. "Good day, Freyr," he gave the boy an awkward salute before heading off.
