MIRROR MIRROR
With the sleepwalking curse over, everyone will have some time to rest and recuperate—until Jack Frost comes barging in with news of a clue on how to help his beloved Ice Queen who still remains asleep. The clue was the mirror shard that was in her chest, and there are theories that it may have been a fragment of a much stronger, powerful mirror she had been given some time ago. Problem is, he can't find it nor can he remember who gave it to her. He does, however, have a magic incantation that will allow people to enter mirrors and hopefully find a trace. Unfortunately, this horrendously backfires and we have mirror chaos instead. Dammit, Jack.
More details on everything can be found here. We will request any thread submissions for certain prompts during AC .
I. REVEREIN
It all begins in Reverein, where there's a strange shift in the air upon Jack's attempt to cast the spell. But instead of affecting just one mirror, it reflects off the surface and spreads out to the entire town, hitting every reflective surface instead. Ripples can be seen before the surfaces still, but it's too late. Every reflective surface—glass, mirror, window—is under a different effect because of the botched spell.
And some are being unwittingly pulled into them.
Fortunately It is possible to communicate and even watch people from the other side of the mirror, but it's only through certain mirrors and at certain times. It also will be temporary, so while one mirror might work one time, it may not work again.
A. Strange Reflections. While some mirrors may still reflect proper images, many will have…unusual changes.

🪞 You are what you see. Whether it's an odd hairstyle, change in skin color, or style of clothing in the reflection, suddenly the viewer will look exactly like what's reflected. The most extreme is a different form entirely.
🏡 Glimpses of home. Everyone will have a rare glimpse of their home world, and these can be instances from the past, present, or even a limited future. They are just reflections and cannot be interacted with, and future reflections may be blurry to prevent the person from seeing too much. For those who have memory issues, such visions will also be blurry, but perhaps they can help stir some things…
🔮 Most desired. Mirrors that have a bit of a pink hue to them will reflect the viewer's most desired "thing." It could be an object, person, place, or even a general idea. However, if not careful the viewer may become trapped in a trance and will need to be removed or smash the mirror.


D. The Unknown. Appearing in both the Mirror World and Reverein will be a strange mirror masked, black cloaked figure called "The Unknown." It traverses through the mirrors and through the walls, seeking those with happy reflections and will try to corrupt them with nightmares. People on both sides of the mirrors will be able to confront and try to stop the Unknown, though beware its chocolate attacks.
II. MIRROR WORLD
Everything in this "Mirror World" is, in a word, chaotic. Imagine an AI-generated monstrosity based off of Picasso, Escher, and Dr. Seuss, where everything seems to be upside down, backwards, colors everywhere and nowhere, and everything feels so fragmented that one step feels like walking towards the edge of a cliff. In a way it's nightmarish in an unusual sense, and those inside can feel that touch of "madness" that seeps through the cold air.
Beware the strange creatures in the Mirror World. They are grotesque monstrosities, many of them looking as if they were stitched together from different parts. Fortunately they are susceptible to weapons and dreamotion and those inside the Mirror World will find they are able to use different abilities, especially those with reflective properties.




Only upon finding a mirror that leads back to Reverein, but they will also need help from the outside. Someone from within Reverein must also be there to physically reach in and pull them out—while hopefully not accidentally be pulled in themselves.
THAT AND MILITARY :9 UNIFORM
whom hiyori rushes over to the sane side of and grips his shirt while looking at the entry to the kitchen warily. things will return to normal when this is over, no doubt, but why was everything else easier to take in stride?
like the candy land, or her slug friend, or the catfish-- ]
They're being perverts, I'm pretty sure. [ BUT THIS ONE WON'T.
(hiyori consistently forgets it was yukine who tried to grope her once upon a time) ]
... Are all of you aspects of Yato's personality?
OH HO~ LIKE THAT IS IT >3
By being a right old pain in the ass, he supposes. Which he finally realizes they collectively are being. Hence why despite the urge to be by Hiyori's side and to keep the others away from her, the original Yato allows her the space she needs, instead rounding up the rest for a talking to. Number one: no orgies.
Thankfully that's the furthest thing from the blond's mind; Yukine-like he may be, he also seems to be the more sensible side of Yato. So when Hiyori confesses the others are being gross, he frowns and simply pours out a bowl of soup, handing it to her.]
Nothing new there, unfortunately. He-- we? Tend to have that streak in us.
[At her question, he considers it for a moment, then nods hesitantly.]
I think so. We're all him, but with one part more to the forefront. The one who was creeping on you was likely his perverted side. Best to stay away from him.
M-MAYBE!!
no orgies in songerein. psls on the other hand.she takes the bowl with a smile, thanks, and fishes in a drawer for a spoon. after that, she doesn't go to a table to eat but hovers at blond yato's side while they talk.
nothing new, yeah. she's well aware he could be a pervert at times, but she's used to dealing with ONE pervert. not multiple. ]
Which side are you? And which side is the one in the uniform...? [ she asks before sipping at some soup.
yum. ]
Mm! This is great! Maybe you're his domestic [ malewife ] side!
GUESS THEY'LL HAVE TO PLAY DRESS UP AT SOME POINT
Unlocked sub-event: Yato Porn Party!Once he's dished them both up something to eat, this Yato turns off the stove and takes up his own bowl, not bothering with a spoon. It just seems more efficient this way.
He does, however, keep his eyes locked on Hiyori, eagerly watching for her approval. And when he gets it, there's a childish beam of happiness from him. S-Success! Although her questions leave him blinking owlishly. What side is he...?]
Me? Truthfully, I dunno... You might be right about being his domestic side. I know he doesn't usually cook much, the lazy bum.
[If there's one thing all the Yatos seem to have in common, it's a slight dislike for their other selves. What does that say about the original?]
... can I ask you a question, Hiyori?
lawd have mercy
LMAOSLKJD STOP.having that childish beam of success on a yato face? super effective on hiyori, too. she can feel her heart skip a beat before she inwardly scolds herself. it's yato, but it's not yato!!
luckily, calling ogyato lazy bum makes hiyori giggle. he is, it's true. it's just funny that yato is calling yato a lazy bum, this time. hiyori doesn't think too deep about the meaning of it. there are some things about herself she dislikes, too. isn't that normal? hm. ]
A question? Oh, yeah, sure! Ask away.
NO MERCY, ONLY FETISH FUN
LOLOLOLDespite his earlier claims to the contrary, this Yato seems just as easily affected by Hiyori's happiness as all the others: a faint pink color tinges his cheeks at her laughter. Yet all he does is shyly shuffle in place, smiling to himself. A happy Hiyori always makes for a happy Yato, no matter which side of him it is.
When it comes time to ask his question, though, he hesitates. Sets down his bowl on the counter so he can face her with hands balled into nervous fists.]
Which side of Yato do you like best?
ON THAT NOTE ARE YOU ON TFLN AGAIN LMFAO
the moment he sets his bowl down, hiyori carefully sets her down too and put the full breadth of her focus on the question. she's anticipating something more serious, that'll require a lot of thought and consideration. it might not have a right answer, it might not have a wrong answer.
she's a little blind-sided by what the question is before the answer slips out of her without thought, ]
All of them. [ right after, she flushes and waves a hand while attempting to explain herself. ]
I-I mean, they're all a part of Yato, aren't they? Without one side, he wouldn't be Yato. So... so... [ brain: lkdgjslkjdg ]
S-so I love... all of them.
LMAO I'M SORRY I'VE JUST BEEN ITCHING TO PLAY ALL DAY
Looks like little domestique has a serious side, too. Perhaps unexpectedly so. Although maybe he's put too much gravity into what turns out to be a fairly innocent question. But it's important to him, so! He's giving it his all, like Yato always does when it comes to things that matter most to him.
He just... doesn't expect her to answer so blithely. His brows shoot up, expression a little bit hurt. Even though it means him too, he was hoping for something a little more substantial. Thankfully, Hiyori is quick to clarify, getting him to relax a little.]
Oh. [Still, he can't help sounding a bit disappointed. All Yatos want to be Hiyori's favorite, it seems... So... it doesn't matter which of them is here?
[Why does that sound a little ominous...]
KDLJGLKDGJD GRABS UR FACE!!! THE WEEKLY TFLN YATORI
[ in her vehemence, she almost knocks over her soup. come on, blond! you're the one that's supposed to have some sense, right?! that isn't what that means.
it wouldn't be fair to make her choose, either. even if she knows who she would -- who she already HAS.
yato. the one with all of the sides.
he might not expect it, but hiyori steps forward and wraps her arms around him in a hug. before he can say something CONCERNING. ]
I-it does. It has to be my Yato. [ "my" GODS... embarrassing. she feels so AWKWARD but forges on. ] Because he has all sides, a piece of all of you. And, when it comes to Yato, I'm a little... selfish.
[ if she weren't, she probably wouldn't have confessed in the first place. because everyone told her it was better and kinder to cut ties. ]
WHO CAN RESIST!!
His shoulders sag as guilt overwhelms him for having such selfish thoughts. Of him being the one remaining Yato. Of shoving his original into the mirror so he can have Hiyori and Yato's life all to himself. He may be sensible, but he does have desires of his own. Same as the rest of them. They are all Yato, after all.
Hesitantly, he returns the gesture by holding onto her, fingers twisting into her shirt. Of course she would choose the original. He is hers. One and only.]
Are you sure...? Don't you want a him that's less of an idiot, who thinks things through and doesn't make you uncomfortable?
[There's a pleading note to his voice, even after she's insisted that the complete Yato is the one for her.]
I... I could be your Yato. A better version of him that'll take care of you and won't spring stupid, scary gifts on you suddenly!
NOT ME..........
no matter how much more sensible one of them is.
against his shoulder, she shakes her head and then leans back to take his cheeks in her palms. ]
But it wouldn't be him if he was less of an idiot, you know? [ and this side is in there, too. ]
I'm sorry. As much as I like you, there is no better version. He's Yato. I've thought a lot about this already, long before now. I thought about it when I spoke about love with Anon-san. I thought about it when Nico-san told me it would be better and more kind to cut ties. I thought about it after talking to Ryu-san, too. But I've made my decision, and I will stick with it no matter what happens. If there are problems, Yato and I will work through them together. If that's him making me uncomfortable or if I make him upset. We take care of each other.
Besides, I do like Rainy. She's a part of the household. Yato was being thoughtful in his weird, over-the-top way.
HEHEHE.....
Not that it doesn't mean they can't contemplate the notion. Because in the moment, with Hiyori's warmth surrounding him, it makes the blond seriously consider such a devious act.
Selfish, that's what Yato is. All of him.
Sighing sadly, he can't resist nuzzling against her hands, not unlike a cat.]
Yeah... I guess so. You fell for him, stupidity and all. [Sighing, he reaches up to cover her hands with his own, half tempted to pry them off yet at the same time not wanting the contact to end. After listening to her reasoning, he's almost able to smile sadly but can't quite manage it, instead it comes off like a wince.]
You really have considered it a lot, then, huh... Then... I won't push you to choose me. Even if I'd like to stay with you, too. Because I do like you, Hiyori. A lot. More than I let on. I want to take care of you, to see you happy. Not getting overwhelmed by my original self's stupid antics to the point where you need to go hide in your room.
But I suppose there is some merit to his dumbass whole self. He did manage to win you over on his own. Just... promise me you won't sacrifice your own happiness for his. Be firm when you need to be. Even if it means making him take back ridiculous gifts.
[At that last part he does smile, if halfheartedly.]
my weakness
his nuzzling makes her warm in the face. his sad sigh breaks her heart, just a bit more. isn't there a hiyori? in the mirror for him? for all of them? the more she think she's sending them back to nothing, the more sad she gets.
it's yato. blond but yato. she would have to be heartless not to be moved by his words. so much that she tears up a little when he's said his piece. (how does he know she hides in her room sometimeslkjsdgs LESS SO NOW!!)
it sounds like yukine, too. that doesn't make it any easier. that last part especially. ]
I-I promise. [ ah, she can't take it anymore. to hide hear emotional state, she uses her hold on his face to pull him in.
to kiss his cheek like she wanted to. IT'S NOT CHEATING. ] Thank you for worrying about me. It's a relief you're within Yato. Not as prominent as now, but when it matters... I know you'll show up.
shovels more of it on~
In turn, they're all soft for Hiyori, even if they can never be her special one. How could they not be, when she treats them all with such kindness and care? Despite their overzealous enthusiasm earlier. The blond Yato may not have been part of the ritualistic to-do, but he has his own flaws, as she's learning. Selfishness, jealousy... None of them are perfect. Especially not their original. It's silly to think any one of them could replace him. It'd just make Hiyori miserable.
And that's the last thing he, or any of them, wants.
So that when she starts crying a little, his eyes go wide with concern and he flails about a bit, fishing out a tissue from a pocket and holding it up.]
P-Please don't cry, Hiyori...!
[Although it becomes an afterthought as her lips press against his pink (now red) cheek. A stunned silence follows as he tries to process what just happened. H-Hiyori kiss... Ah... ♥ Still flustered, he nods dumbly, one hand coming up to cover the warm spot where she kissed him.]
Y..You're welcome. And... thank you, Hiyori. I'll do my best to make sure he treats you right. [It's the least he can do for her sake.]
yes good more
it just wouldn't be the same as having all of yato's facets. every single thing that makes yato who he is. maybe he'll even get the memory of what she said to this yato about how much she thought about the right choice. how, in the end, she chose him over doing what might've been the right choice. or what everyone tried to tell her was the right choice.
she laughs and takes the tissue, dabbing at her eyes. ]
S-sorry! Hearing how much you care just made me a little emotional. I'm okay.
[ she's spent enough time hiding away... but she wants to finish her soup first because it's delicious. ]
Do you remember being in the mirror? Is there another world in there?
uses a backhoe to shovel it on in there
That's the problem with being a simple double from a mirror, apparently. Never quite able to match up to the person they were created from. It's a depressing state of affairs in reality. Yet he's happy enough knowing that no matter what, Hiyori will have someone dedicated to her. However this turns out.
Hesitating a moment, he in turn pats her head, trying to be reassuring.]
As long as that's all it is. I don't mean to make you cry...
[The question comes as something of a surprise, although it shouldn't. Hiyori is so thoughtful and empathetic. He nods, taking up his own soup again.]
It's a distorted world, with everything topsy-turvy and fragmented. Compared to in there, this world feels... stabler. And oddly whole. Simple, in a way, yet more peaceful. I think that's why we were eager to get out.
mORE
after giving each of them a head pat, she giggles again (a bit wetly) when he's giving a head pat in return. ]
I know. You never do. [ it's reassuring.
then she listens to his world. it doesn't sound pleasant. ]
... Yeah, but... if there are multiple of you, aren't there multiple of me in there... waiting for you to come back?
BRINGS IN THE UHAUL FULL OF IT
But this one is trying. He's doing his best. The others may be fixated on Hiyori this, and Hiyori that, but he's trying to maintain a sense of balance.
As for his world... He shakes his head, slowly. Sadly.]
...no. We weren't just waiting to come out from the mirror or anything. As far as I know, we were created when Yato left the mirror exposed to himself. So there's no Hiyori there because you haven't been subjected to the mirror. That's what they were trying to do earlier - put you in front of it so there'd be Hiyoris like us.
IT'S NOT ENOUGh
but if they can go back to their fragmented world just a little happier... not as lonely...
she bites her lip and grabs his hand. ]
Come on. [ first, she peeks out of the kitchen doorway to see what the other yato are up to. once the coast is clear and they're not paying attention, she sneaks them both to the bathroom and locks it behind her while sighing in relief that they didn't get caught. one at a time. ]
If it's me, I can probably be convinced to go back to help you. Any mirror version of me will be happy, as long as I'm at your side. But... let's test it, first.
[ taking a deep breath, she walks to the mirror and uncovers it slowly so she can see her -- no reflection. at all. what in the--
no reflection turns into a face appearing out of the mirror, hiyori's cloned face, and dressed in
wrestling gear.
she's immediately put into a headlock by her clone. ]
GAH!!
ORDERS AN AVALANCHE THEN
Suddenly nervous at being alone, locked in a small room with her, he wedges himself into a corner so as not to crowd her. This may be a bad idea, but at least he's here to help, should the need arise.]
Yeah, you're always so sensible about these sorts of things. It's really admirable. [Finally, he smiles at her, genuinely. If she thinks they can handle it, he trusts her. They'll manage it okay.] And... thank you, Hiyori.
[It's said with choked emotion, though it's not long before he's choking for an entirely different reason - all of a sudden there's a wrestling-crazed Hiyori manhandling herself. After flailing helplessly a moment, he scrambles to try getting Hiyori number two off of number one.
H-Hey now! There's no need for that! C'mon! Can't we all be friends, here?!
STILL NOT ENOUGh
I'm fine!! Just, ghk! Just cover the mirror!
[ the hiyori not in wrestling gear tells the blond yato, gritting her teeth as she struggles with breaking free, pulling at the arm around her throat to breathe and find a way out of this. remember your training!! ]
Hah, gotcha! Just try and break out of it! I've been preparing for this forever!
[ YEAH, SHE KNOWS. of course, of course wrestling star hiyori would come out first. who would be next? she doesn't want to find out so soon. as much as hiyori did not expect to deal with six yato, she did not expect to be in a wrestling match with herself.
while wrestling hiyori is gloating (unlike her) she's gripping her at the elbow and, without warning, throws over her shoulder and slams her onto the ground with a loud crash before grappling her quickly. ]
Now! Listen to me!!
WEEPS IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
I-I got it...! What do I do, now?!
[He wants to jump in, but damn if he knows where or how to keep things from getting worse. He wouldn't be able to stand hurting either one, and there's so many legs and arms flailing around??]
Hiyori, please! Don't go hurting yourself! If you do that then who's gonna patch her up?!
[Thank the Heavens, the moon, and the stars that Hiyori herself is made of tougher stuff than most humans, let alone girls. Her ability to maintain her cool while being pretzelfied is more than Yato himself would've been able to manage. And he's used to having her wrassle him. Once clone!Hiyori starts to go sailing, blond!Yato leaps out of the way with an "EEP!"
He doesn't want to get caught in between them, nice as being the meat in a Hiyori sandwich sounds.]
Whew... Nice going, Hiyori...!
I AM A YATORI BLACKHOLE
Urgh! Fine! You win.
[ DING DING.
only then does hiyori let up. SLOWLY. carefully, just in case wrestle!her wants to try anything funny. if it's her though, deep down, she'll honor the win and listen. sure enough, there are no sneaky attempts to pin either of them down as she gets back onto her feet, dusts off her clothes, and puts her hands on her hips.
... she's a little jealous. this hiyori seems to have no reservations about loving wrestling. she's even dressed the part with elbow pads and kneepads. ]
Bested by myself! I guess it's better than being bested by someone else.
Hah. [ NERVOUS LAUGHTER. no, wait. ] Just to make sure, but you know you have to go back into the mirror, right?
... Mm. Yeah, I know. I don't want to but-- [ wrestler's eyes trail over to the yato hovering around nervously and her gaze goes softer. ]
So they don't have to do it alone, right? There's five more to go, me. I can hold them down for you.
[ hiyori beams and then turns to blond yato. ]
I think this will work out after all!
I'VE NOTICED LMAO
Even after that little stunt, he's quick to offer wrestling!Hiyori a hand up should she need it, idly straightening out her hair as she dusts herself off. It's a little nerve-wracking to be in the presence of one so devoted to her sports hobby, but at the same time it makes him smile, seeing a path Hiyori could take if she so chose it.]
You okay? Nothing bruised? Didja want a drink of water first?
[He can't help being a little concerned for her - both of her - after seeing them tussle so hard. So enthusiastic! Passionate! He wishes he had her gumption for something beyond practical things like cooking. Although he still has plenty of love for Hiyori, as proven when the double's eyes settle on him and make him blush shyly. Still, he returns it with a smile. Hiyori is Hiyori, whatever aspect of her is most prominent.
He shifts to face the original and gives a happy nod, a little rainbow forming behind him.]
I think you're right. Thank you so much, Hiyori...
heh 🌟
I, I'm fine. Let's... just go home.
[ yep, still hiyori. deep down, just like all the others are still yato. after batting him away, wrestleyori squeezes blondato's hand while staring at her sneakered feet.
realyori smiles gently at the happy nod and that rainbow behind him. one down. it'll be sad, in a way, to see them all leave. they can all be assured they won't have to do it alone, though. not a single one. ]
Okay! Who's next?
[ BACK TO THE MIRROR.
it isn't long before there are just as many hiyoris as there are yato. it's very cramped in the bathroom. they'll have to do this in pairs. there's a more NYAyori with cat ears to go with her cat tail and many cat puns. there's doctor hiyori, in a white coat and stethoscope. there's traditional hiyori, in a kimono and looking very reserved. she and military yato would get along. there's idol hiyori, inspired by yato's bodily possessions she assumes. finally, there's (and perhaps the MOST EMBARRASSING) - what she can only call devout hiyori. her darkest not!secret.
she's pretty sure yato will get a GOOD KICK out of the "YATOGAMI LOVE" headband she wears. as well as the shirt she wears with his FLIRTY WINKING FACE PLASTERED ON IT. all the other hiyoris can hardly bear to look at her without going BRIGHT FUCKING RED, too.
they stand shoulder to shoulder before hiyori stands on the toilet, clapping to get everyone's attention. ]
Alright!! Now that you're all here, you know your mission. Pair up with one of the Yato outside!
[ they all give affirming responses (especially YATO LOVE hiyori, she's the loudest) and start heading into the hallway. surprise! yatos!!
job done, hiyori is the last to leave the bathroom. ]
