Session 6: Order of the White Lotus
General Summary
Teel and Naved await Triandras awakening as they sit in silence with Elaris Nightvale. Alkaline makes fun of the white lotus as Florian halfheartedly defends them. The coliseum fades away around Triandra as a stage appears in the darkness. A familiar yet twisted humanoid beckons her closer. The humanoid has Triandras body, but is wearing a mask of her face. It speaks "We are the image in the mirror. The shadows that dance before the gaze of others." It takes off the mask revealing a glitched and fragmented face that fades into the darkness with no end. It refers to itself as Triandra, her inland empire. It asks Triandra to "Perform for me like you do yourself" and then proceeds to ask her three questions “Which lie do you tell yourself most often?” “What would you become if no one was watching?” "When you look in the mirror, what do you see?" Triandra flails a bit and answers, but the inland empire is seemingly unsure Triandra is ready and leaves. Triandra awakens and desperatley wants to go back to sleep to try again. The gang says they should go outside to get some fresh air where they are attacked by weird simulacra of people with black plaque in their teeth. They seemingly try to steal Triandras memories or some such. The party manages to fight them off and head to the Ruby Ramshack where they gain some interesting knowledge about Malos, Medella, Pneuma and Alkalines pneumatic machine. Alkaline, Triandra and Florian try to take a nap to enter a dreamscene. Teel and Naved take watch. Teel gets posessed and the Warden tells Naved not to worry about what they don't know, as they give as much information as they feel they can without putting Naved in danger. Naved thinks this is kinda sus lol.
