The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: The Nightmare's reaction to Harry asking if she's radioactive after she gives him the "I Am What I Am" spiel. As Rhetoric points out, she likely doesn't even know what radiation is (and the Voice of the Hero definitely doesn't).

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_13646b1b	comment	After the Nightmare rejects Harry's last attempt at compassion, Half Light utterly tears into him for everything he feels guilty about and one thing he couldn't possibly have known: his break-up with Dora, his apocalyptic benders, ruining his relationship with Jean and the rest of Precinct 51, his slavish devotion to Kim and his fears he'll fuck that up too... and the fact that most of C-Wing (plus Soona and Egg Head) is currently trying to launch a raid on a Moralintern facility just to rescue him, but set off the alarm and start to engage in gunfire with armored forces. It's that last one that finally, completely breaks him.

It eventually culminates in the attempt to snap Half Light out of its weird doomsayer fugue state, which has the penalty five times over. One of Harry's already chosen options in THE ACT OF FUTILITY is just "I'm on a path in the woods...", etc., repeated over and over again.

Harry is an utter wreck by the time THE ACT OF FUTILITY rolls around: missing all his skills, his memories, and left with no other option but to free the Princess... which he fails to do.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_19211122	comment	Feel No Pain: The Voice of the Cold brings its Personality Power to bear when Harry has a seizure as a result of the Spectre's possession. The result is a new thought, Breakerbox Of The Soul, whose temporary research bonus removes Health and Morale alerts — translating to the story as Harry distancing himself from the pain he's feeling enough to (somehow) stop the seizure, and later, to haul his body towards the door despite the Narrator's Killer Game Master ploy. Zigzagged with Psycholocomotor's Prayer, which has the temporary research bonus of making it so that Health damage taken doesn't reduce Endurance.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: The Shivers check in the flashback shows where a number of characters are while the Shifting Mound's song shakes the church apart: Cuno, Cunoesse, and Annette huddle in the Whirling's shed for shelter. A concerned Evrart Claire (or is it Edgar?) makes a call to a mysterious third party. In La Delta, Joyce Messier, implied to be somehow sensing the energies released by the Swallow, fights the urge to step out into the open air 37 stories up. The Phasmid waits out the storm under a pylon in the collapsed Sea Fortress. Coalition Warship Archer hovers above, not yet noticing the events at the church — though we already know what will happen once they do. Precinct 41 goes about its working day, ten minutes before they receive the call about Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Du Bois' disappearance.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: How exactly the Voices are connected to Harry is unclear; they seem to think of themselves as part of him, but occasionally refer to "feathers", and have no memory of Elysium. Reaction Speed picks up on how this is weird, because last time he checked Harry wasn't a bird. It's implied they were attracted by the traces of the Long Quiet inside Harry, but nothing has yet been confirmed. The Narrator's connection to the world of Elysium is also a mystery: He doesn't know what reÃ¡l or Dolores Dei are, but seems to at least recognize the concept of the Pale, if His horrified reaction is anything to go by. Despite many variants on the Narrator hearing and seeing plenty about Revachol and the world beyond, he also only seems to become aware that Harry is from outside when Harry is stripped of his skills and a broken shadow of himself - another echo, you might say.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_1fc8335e	comment	Half Light hates and fears the Princess, and in the Spectre chapter is very upset about Harry letting her possess him, let alone allowing her to take over for various Skills to pass hard checks. But near the end of the chapter, the Narrator's trick and impending death makes Half Light panic and make what he calls a Deal with the Devil, letting her take over.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Plenty, to both games: The fic opens with, once again, a comatose Harry being berated by the inhabitants of his Paleo-Mammalian Cortex. Subverted in that he's not comatose; he's just deep in the "textured nothingness" of the Long Quiet. Endurance and Physical Instrument would like to remind you that Harry used to be a gym teacher. Inland Empire and Perception describe the Long Quiet in the same way as the omniscient narration does in Slay The Princess: When the Voice of the Hero describes the Princess' voice as hypnotizing, Volition initially worries that it's dealing with another "compromised" voice in Harry's head. Its only response when the Voice of the Smitten shows up is a long-suffering "Oh god, there's two of them now." And once they meet the Damsel and the Pale, the Skills actually do become compromised, including Volition once the Pale takes on the form of Dora. After asking her about her name and getting a Non-Answer, Harry tries to come up with a name for the Princess. One failed Conceptualization check later: The Voice of the Hero, meanwhile, says that she looks more like a "Nichole", in reference to her voice actress, Nichole Goodnight, while one dialogue option lets Harry float "Shifty" as a name, a popular Fan Nickname for the Shifting Mound. Electrochemistry at one point tells Harry that despite her weird, spacey demeanor, the Damsel isn't high on anything, calling back to the infamous cocaine addictions of Revacholian royalty you can hear about from RenÃ© and the statue of Filippe III. When the newly-freed Damsel asks Harry what he wants to do, his first response is, of course, to sing karaoke with her. Once the Narrator returns from getting a drink, He sarcastically apologizes for being gone, something Rhetoric quickly calls out. The Voice of the Hero adds that "Even I could've told you that, and I'm terrible at spotting liars"; in canon, he made a similar remark in the face of the Razor's attempts to convince them she didn't want to stab them. Similarly, when Savoir Faire claims that Harry's memory troubles are just part of "the look", Suggestion comments to a confused Voice of the Hero that it's a different thing from the Expression; the Hero was equally confused by the Long Quiet flirting with the Razor by giving her "The Look", which was itself a reference to the Expression. The Pale's touch is described as burning Harry's flesh, and her kiss as feeling like drowning; both are references to the Burned Grey and the Drowned Grey, Princesses who you could get from the death of the Damsel or her analogue, the Prisoner. Later, Inland Empire mentions a scent of "deepwater brine" as a sign of the Spectre's presence, another reference to the Drowned Grey. The âœ¤250,000 "voucher" the Narrator gives Harry is very obviously just "THE EVIDENCE" from the original game repurposed for the situation. After Harry signs it, Savoir Faire has Interfacing put the net worth counter from the Ultraliberal Vision Quest back up. During one of his attempts at buttering Harry up, the Voice of the Opportunist calls him "Harrister", a nickname only ever used once in the game by the Ancient Reptilian Brain. Who deploys it once again after Harry dies trying to escape the cabin. Before heading to the cabin to meet the Spectre, Volition offers Harry a check to "get your shit together"; one of the bonuses is listed as "Ghost of the Volumetric Shit Compressor". While marching down into the Spectre's basement, Half Light tells Harry to "Be ready to claw out her heart if you have to." In the lead-up to the Wraith, the Spectre does just that to the Long Quiet, and even here she half-threatens to do it to Harry a few times. Inland Empire also notes that spectres are much easier to deal with than wraiths, which is definitely true here. The climax of the chapter is a Whole-Plot Reference to that other chapter's, with the Narrator elongating the hallway beyond the protagonist's ability to escape and the ghostly Princess piloting his body to freedom, narrating her own actions the whole time to stave off His influence — except here, it's a joint effort of Heroic Willpower between Harry and the Spectre, and she's just not as good at it as the Wraith. After asking her about her name and getting a Non-Answer, Harry tries to come up with a name for the Spectre. One successful Conceptualization check later, the skill says that her name should be vast and oceanic — "feather-light, free, and everlasting". Beyond being a reference to the Shifting Mound's nature, it's also a reference to the lyrics of "Want To Be Free" by Sea Power, who contributed to Disco Elysium's soundtrack, with a trip-hop remix of "Want To Be Free" — "Burn, Baby, Burn" — appearing in the game's finale. Conceptualization calls the sensation of the Spectre's possession "ice in the veins" — a line from "Reflections" by R.S. Thomas, the poem that opens both the game and the fic, which Harry can quote to Tommy Le Homme. While trying to wrangle the Spectre possessing Harry into something comprehensible, Interfacing mentions attempting to sync sines with her, much like you had to do with Noid to get him to help you contact Coalition Warship Archer in the Moralist Vision Quest. When Harry asks the Spectre why she keeps calling him "killer", she reminds him that he didn't exactly stop to introduce himself before stabbing her in the heart. The following dialogue tree references just about every name or title Harry can pick up over the course of the game: the Law, lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier Du Bois, RaphaÃ«l Ambrosius Costeau, Tequila Sunset, and "Harry. It's Harry. Why the hell were there so many other options here?" The Spectre, for her part, decides to just stick with "killer". The Pristine Blade is once again tossed somewhere, though down the stairs instead of out the window, and then again at the mirror in the church. When the Spectre asks what the world is like, one of the dialogue options has Harry saying "It's basically just a bunch of apes duking it out on a ball." The Flagrant Disregard Of Reality thought, devoted to letting Harry dispense with the skill checks and just do things, mentions a couple Intentionally Unwinnable checks in the original game — opening the bunker on the coast, dodging Korty's Last Breath Bullet — and outright calls them "bullshit". When Inland Empire prompts Harry to turn back in the flashback, the following dialogue tree is similar to certain ones in the Tower route: a series of greyed-out options forming a brief monologue on the futility of trying to resist, and a final option to fulfill the inevitable. Shivers briefly refers to the nascent Shifting Mound the same way she does: "solitary lights in an empty city." Some of the potential names for the case Harry doesn't pick are references: THE HERO AND THE PRINCESS, DICK MULLEN AND THE FRACTURED GLASS, APOCALYPSE COP'S REDEMPTION... Something the Shifting Mound says to Harry is the direct inverse of a line she can say to the Long Quiet: "You are more like a person than you are like me." When Harry arrives on the path to the Nightmare, a terrified Half Light starts doomcrying about being "cast down into the abyss". Conceptualization then chimes in with a very familiar refrain: The Voice of the Hero advises Harry to take Pristine Blade to meet the Nightmare, saying one way or another, it'll at least give them more options — the same advice he gave the Long Quiet in the Shifting Mound's heart. This time around, it's Volition that keeps Harry from stepping off the stairs in the Nightmare's basement rather than the Narrator. When Endurance and Electrochemistry join in on the Voice of the Paranoid's chant, the Hero tries to join in, like when he'd occasionally take over while the Paranoid talked to the Long Quiet. He's just as bad at it here.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: The Limbic System cautions Harry that, if he keeps helping the Princess, he'll be destroyed, and what little is left of him "returned to the sea". Volta do Mar, the same technique that kept Harry safe from another Princess' influence, literally translates to "return from the sea". The Echo's name as a skill, Flux Et Reflux, is a Latin phrase translating to English as "the ebb and flow" — one of the titles the Narrator gives for the Shifting Mound. Like in canon, Half Light speaks Ancient Greek at a few points in THE NIGHTMARE, calling the void around the basement stairs "Ï‡Î¬Î¿Ï‚" (the term for Primordial Chaos), and reacting to the description of the Nightmare's appearance with "Î±á¼°Îºá½·ÏƒÏ„Ï�Î¹Î±" — "agony". After the Nightmare presumably it's Half Light which quotes a passage from Marcus Aurelius that can be translated as: "Look at the speed of universal oblivion, the gulf of immeasurable time both before and after, the vacuity of applause, the indiscriminate fickleness of your apparent supporters, and the tiny room in which all this is confined."

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00	type	Lampshade Hanging
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00	comment	Lampshade Hanging: When the Narrator chides Harry for "wasting time asking questions'', Rhetoric is left aghast: After a failed Suggestion check sees Harry telling the Princess that he's here to kill her (without having taken the Pristine Blade), the Voice of the Hero wonders why Harry had to pick the "least bad option" from a list of completely insane non sequiturs. Volition just comments that he'll get used to it. When the Narrator continues to insist that slaying the Princess will lead Harry to a "happy ending" even after Harry has seen what that ending entails, Rhetoric and Drama proceed to ruthlessly mock His Manipulative Bastard act. After a failed roll from Flux Et Reflux, the Voice of the Cheated takes an absolutely brutal shot at Disco's check system:

The result is a new thought, Breakerbox Of The Soul, whose temporary research bonus removes Health and Morale alerts — translating to the story as Harry distancing himself from the pain he's feeling enough to (somehow) stop the seizure, and later, to haul his body towards the door despite the Narrator's Killer Game Master ploy.

From the way successful Shivers checks start to speak in a voice that is definitely not La RevacholiÃ¨re, it's implied this was some form of the Long Quiet. It's implied that the Voices have taken on aspects of the missing skills in THE ACT OF FUTILITY; the Hero assumes Volition's reassuring tone, the Broken starts making cryptic declarations similar to Inland Empire, the Opportunist detects a lie in the Princess' voice...

By the third iteration, with Harry having picked up the Pristine Blade and not killed the Princess immediately, Half Light realizes that Harry has no chance of winning a confrontation and must flee to survive, as this course of events shapes the Princess into becoming an absolute terror. Unfortunately for Half Light, Harry opts to merely leave the basement and stay in the cabin to make up his mind, leading to him being killed by the proto-Nightmare.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_4a3e547f	comment	Leaning on the Fourth Wall: There are a number of nods to the Art-Style Clash between the two games: since Slay The Princess is Deliberately Monochrome save for the odd Splash of Color, Perception routinely fails to identify the colors of things around Harry, and Inland Empire describes the Princess' blood as "the only color in the world"; Half Light also calls her large, cartoony eyes "unnatural". It starts to bleed into a variation on the Musical World Hypothesis when the Spectre is unable to identify the things reflecting off the magnetic tape reels representing Harry's skills, until Inland Empire tells her it's color — and even then, she struggles to identify any of the colors except for red. It's outright confirmed in the lead-up to the Nightmare when Perception has a Freak Out trying to identify the color of the Princess' eyes... and realizing it can't tell the color of anything that isn't on Harry; according to it, the scenery has color, it's just somehow impossible to tell what colors exactly. In his first appearance, the Voice of the Cheated is left furious after witnessing a failed check, thinking the skills have been literally leaving their fates up to a roll of the dice the entire time. Volition insists it's more complicated than that, but the Cheated insists they find a way to stop having to deal with random chance whenever they want to do something important. This is, of course, reflective of the differences between choices in Disco Elysium and Slay The Princess: the latter is a visual novel where making a choice is as simple as clicking an option and watching the consequences play out, while the former, being an RPG, has elements of randomness in the form of skill checks. The thought Harry gets from this exchange, Flagrant Disregard Of Reality, even suggests that Harry might be able to do as the Cheated says and throw away the checks. Harry losing his skills in THE ACT OF FUTILITY includes losing Perception, Savoir Faire, and every other skill involved in physical actions, which means he's reliant on the Narrator and the Voices to describe him seeing or doing things in order to make it happen... and that he's unable to use those skills to free the Princess.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_4e7c4536	comment	Wham Line: When the Voice of the Hero first speaks to Harry, a successful Shivers check reveals that someone new is broadcasting to Harry's sixth sense: In THE DAMSEL, when Harry goes to check the mirror, it initially seems that things will play out just as in canon... and then: For those who know the lore of Disco Elysium, the very title of CHAPTER III will be enough to set off massive alarm bells: In the same chapter, the Narrator's reaction to the Pale itself leaking into the Long Quiet ("No, it wasn't supposed to be like this!") raises a lot of questions about His place in both universes. The Spectre's reaction to a passive Shivers check while she's possessing Harry reveals something very interesting that links to the first example here: she can't hear the Long Quiet speaking through Shivers. After freeing himself from his bindings in THE ECHO, Harry makes his way up the stairs, and opens the basement door... La RevacholiÃ¨re's send-off to Harry ends in a line that has monumental implications for how the end of the story might play out: "Five yet remain." This line from Inland Empire comes after Harry's already brought the Pale and the Echo to the Shifting Mound, further showing just how Off the Rails everything has gone.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_5009999d	type	Painting the Medium
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_5009999d	comment	Painting the Medium: The whole fic is formatted using CSS to appear straight out of Disco Elysium itself, complete with skill checks, both passive and active, and gaining thoughts over the course of the story. For a few more specific examples: The Voice of the Hero is initially aligned to the center with his name in standard capitalization, as in Slay The Princess, whereas all the other voices (including, curiously, the Narrator) are aligned to the left and have their names in all caps, as in Disco. It's described as a Poke in the Third Eye for Harry, but Interfacing is able to somehow wrangle the Hero into a "more comfortable shape", and after that, he and all the other voices are formatted Disco-style. In addition, even after that, the Narrator and the Voices have their text emphasized with italics or bold text (or both) - and break up their lines with hyphens, whereas the Skills are emphasized with asterisks -- and break up their lines with em dashes. The Princess' text is aligned to the right, lacks a name, and is colored in pink (or red when she gets angry), all of which hearkens back to her own case of this in her home game. (In Slay the Princess her normal speech is rendered in white, but it has to be changed here since the Disco Elysium workskin has default white text.) Harry tries to make her words more comfortable like with the Hero, but the check is Impossible, and fails. When the Spectre possesses Harry, he's initially completely unable to hear her, but Interfacing wrangles her successfully this time, aligning her to the left (though still colored and nameless); when she's possessing Harry's skills, their text turns pink as well, and any skill checks she makes are dyed pink and have the result text giving "HER" instead of "YOU" as the speaker. The narration in the prologue — implied to be coming from the Long Quiet himself — is nameless, italicized, and center-aligned. In the first CHAPTER I, the Narrator essentially starts bickering with Harry's task list, hastily appending a task to "Slay the Princess" after Rhetoric comes up with one to "Question the Princess". Later, Harry jogging to the cabin at Coach Physical Instrument's insistence completes a secret task: "Get your morning jog in". A very interesting case of this arises from a mechanical difference between Disco Elysium and Slay the Princess. In Disco Elysium, a CRPG, interacting with objects lets you essentially "talk" to them as unique entities; for example, even before the Inland Empire check, investigating the Hanged Man's corpse has "THE HANGED MAN" listed as the speaker for the descriptions of the body). However, in Slay the Princess, a visual novel, any descriptions come exclusively courtesy of the Narrator and the Voices. Hence, in this fic, the Skills are a lot more active than usual in order to fill in the gaps in the Narrator's... narration. Harry even gets a thought during THE DAMSEL, Personal Airspace Violation, that directly comments on this, and it returns in THE ECHO once the Narrator leaves Harry alone on the image of the beach at Martinaise. As the Pale starts to degrade Harry's mind more and more, the difficulties for his passive skill checks start to become higher and higher, and dialogue choices start to be replaced by just ellipses, symbolizing how much harder it's becoming to think. The Voices' influence on Harry is shown by the modifiers they give to various checks: for example, the check to stop the Voice of the Smitten from pulling a Romeo and Juliet has a -5 modifier from the Smitten himself, and the Voice of the Cold, with his Lack of Empathy, tends to give a flat 0 modifier to demonstrate how detached he is — making it all the more telling when he starts giving bonuses to Harry recalling memories for them. During Mind Parliament, Interfacing rejiggers the UI so it shows the Voices in proper alphabetical order (as in "HERO, VOICE OF THE") to make the voting easier and more fair. Near the end, the Voice of the Opportunist somehow puts himself back to normal to try and sneak in an extra vote (since his prevaricating made Rhetoric just mark him down as "abstain"). While possessing Harry, the Spectre comments directly on aspects of the game's UI, like reacting in surprise when a bunch of "Task updated" notifications pop up, or mentioning seeing the Thought Cabinet and task lists. Flux Et Reflux retains the pink text from her earlier selves, and though this site can't show it, the red used to highlight her name is a different shade than that used for Physique skills. She also gives massive penalties to checks involving Harry trying to figure out where she came from. Once Harry projects her out of his head, her lines go back to being right-aligned, though they keep the name. The skill profile given at the end of her chapter has additions from her in pink; it also shows her to be Harry's new Signature Skill, reflected in her physical appearance by the crown used to designate such in the game. At the beginning of THE NIGHTMARE, Harry essentially fast-forwards through the Narrator's dialogue In-Universe, with the dialogue choice outright offering the option to "[Skip his warning.]" The Voice of the Paranoid's Survival Mantra, once he gets going, is constantly behind the dialogue in dull grey, repeating over and over again and only stopping when either the Nightmare or the Paranoid himself interrupts it (though the latter stops when Endurance and Electrochemistry start shoring him up). According to Word of God, the month-long hiatus between Chapters I and II of the Nightmare route was at least partially because of the time needed to learn the CSS necessary to make this work. Interestingly, at one point in THE NIGHTMARE, the Voice of the Hero and Volition speak in perfect unison, with their nametag even having the "X and Y" format that sometimes occurs in Slay The Princess — something that never happens in Disco Elysium. What exactly this means remains to be seen. As Harry descends into the nightmare that precedes the Act of Futility, the fic leaves a long, long space of empty background to represent the endless loops that he'll go through. Something similar happens in the chapter itself, when, as Harry and the Princess fall into the darkness, the background itself fades to black. Additionally, the chapter preceding the Act of Futility starts with countless "I'm sorry" repeating in loops and multiplying until it dissolves the entire background into white, once again representing the loops Harry goes through. And if one looks at the page's Cool Code of Source, it's shown that it's actually multiple different Madness Mantra repeating that compose the white background, implied to be the Skills themselves having their own mental breakdown: "The endless maze. A dark forest, devoid of life. An island on the sea of stars. Hot coals raked across every surface. Rotting from the inside until you turn hollow." â€” Likely Shivers. "No sight. No hearing. No taste. No smell. No feeling." â€” Likely Perception. "Tendons stretch, bones grind, organs rupture -- but you live on." â€” Likely Endurance. "10-33. Repeat. 10-8. Repeat, please. 10-9. Acknowledge." â€” Likely Esprit de Corps. "An endless dance. Twirling through the eons, a death waltz to the end of time." â€” Likely Drama. In Gratuitous Greek: "Look at the speed of universal oblivion, the gulf of immeasurable time both before and after, the vacuity of applause, the indiscriminate fickleness of your apparent supporters, and the tiny room in which all this is confined."" â€” Likely Half-Light. "You are not alone, and this place is not empty. There is a sound -- the harmony of the spheres. You must find its source. You have to keep going. You will make it.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_52475ffd	type	Cutting Off the Branches
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_52475ffd	comment	Cutting Off the Branches: A few facts of this Harry's run through the events of Disco Elysium are established over the course of the fic: The prologue mentions him having 4 confirmed kills, meaning he managed to take out Raul Kortenaer. A comment from Hand/Eye Coordination in the second CHAPTER I seemingly confirmed that he shot Korty rather than using the Spirit Bomb, but the check in the flashback to hear the sound coming from the hole in the world has a bonus labeled "Heard your tie (may he rest in peace)", implying that "Spirit is eternal" was completed and the Horrific Necktie destroyed in the fire; this was later confirmed by Word of God to be a Series Continuity Error and was fixed. He kept in Kim's good graces (to the point that Kim refuses to believe Harry is dead despite him having fallen through a hole in the world) and convinced him to join Precinct 41. Much to Electrochemistry's dismay, Harry has been sober since the events of the game (though he still smokes). He got rid of the Expression and briefly flirted with Ultraliberalism before giving up on it. Which makes it all the stranger when those two things recur with a vengeance in his second run... A mention of a "weekly leftist book club" in THE SPECTRE implies that he decided to undertake the Communist Vision Quest and got in good with Steban and Ulixes. Despite Conceptualization's objections, the anodic dance club ended up being named No Truce With The Furies. Harry's flashback to his last moments in Martinaise reveals the thoughts he had internalized by the end of the game: Col Do Ma Ma Daqua, Cleaning Out the Rooms, Motorway South, Jamais Vu (Derealization), The Insulindian Miracle, Searchlight Division, Waste Land of Reality, and Finger on the Eject Button.

But when confronting the Nightmare, Harry attempts to shoothe her by offering a gift, in the form of his hip flask. This time the flask takes the form of "the Flask of Fear and Oblivion", which turns out to contain absinthe. Electrochemistry is downright elated that the flask finally offers a decent drink and starts begging Harry at length to at least break his soberity just a little bit and take a sip the flask before giving it to her, seeing how he is probably going to die any way. Violition, however, manages to hold strong, and Harry keeps up his vow of soberity and hands over the flask without drinking from it first. The Nightmare proceeds to study the gift for a little bit before casually throwing the flask away over her shoulder without even tasting it. Electrochemistry reacts with a rare moment of Tranquil Fury.

More details about what's happened since Harry's been gone are revealed in THE SPECTRE: In the month (yes, month) since he disappeared, the Moralintern have torn down the church and began putting up some kind of facility around the Swallow; on the RCM's side, Soona has surmised that Harry might have survived his trip, and Precinct 41, on the orders of Captain Ptolemy Pryce, are planning to find a way inside the Coalition building and, if possible, mount a rescue mission for the lieutenant double-yefreitor. And THE ECHO reveals the full story: After a call from Soona inviting them to an experiment dedicated to finding out what lay on the other side of the Swallow, Harry and Kim arrived to find Tiago sitting, horrorstruck, on the steps of the church. All they could get from him was that his Mother of Silence had apparently started to "sing"... According to the anodic dance crew, things inside the church had felt strange all day; Noid talks about the sines of the place going "rancid", like something fundamental in the space had been torn apart, and Acele's contact mic melted from the inside out when she tried to record some new samples from the anomaly... The experiment began, and immediately things started to go wrong, with whatever sound was coming from the Swallow shaking the church apart even worse than before and causing a storm to begin brewing over the area... At the insistence of Inland Empire, Harry turned back, and heard the Shifting Mound and the Long Quiet singing to themselves from oblivion, split apart and unable to come back together... ...And after getting La RevacholiÃ¨re's blessing and convincing Kim to let him go before shoving him to safety, Harry sent himself through the Swallow and entered the Construct, hoping to reunite its occupants and, in so doing, save everything.

A dark forest, devoid of life. An island on the sea of stars. Hot coals raked across every surface. Rotting from the inside until you turn hollow." â€” Likely Shivers. "No sight. No hearing. No taste. No smell. No feeling." â€” Likely Perception. "Tendons stretch, bones grind, organs rupture -- but you live on." â€” Likely Endurance. "10-33. Repeat. 10-8. Repeat, please. 10-9. Acknowledge." â€” Likely Esprit de Corps. "An endless dance. Twirling through the eons, a death waltz to the end of time." â€” Likely Drama. In Gratuitous Greek: "Look at the speed of universal oblivion, the gulf of immeasurable time both before and after, the vacuity of applause, the indiscriminate fickleness of your apparent supporters, and the tiny room in which all this is confined."" â€” Likely Half-Light. "You are not alone, and this place is not empty. There is a sound -- the harmony of the spheres. You must find its source. You have to keep going. You will make it. It is predestined." â€” Likely Inland Empire. "Nothing makes sense. There are no laws. Chaos reigns." â€” Likely Logic. "Eyes everywhere. Every time you turn your head -- more eyes. You can â€™t keep them in your vision, only on the periphery. You are watched. You are watched." "Hit and kick and punch and jab and struggle and hit..." â€” Likely Physical Instrument. "There is no winning. You canâ€™t bargain with something like this. You canâ€™t talk your way out, you canâ€™t -- you canâ€™t." â€” Likely Rhetoric. "Scrounge for a weapon -- your weapon -- but it wonâ€™t make a difference. Of course it wouldnâ€™t. No piece of steel and sulfur could help you now." â€” Likely Hand/Eye Coordination. "The singularity at the heart of a black hole. All vectors point inward. Time and space bend and twist until they become one -- to proceed forward is to fall even further. There is no escape." â€” Likely Visual Calculus. "Endless pain. It isnâ€™t constant, but that just makes it worse -- knowing during the reprieve that it will flare up again. Physical pain, mental anguish. It will not end." â€” Likely Pain Threshold. "Keep it together, keep it together...you canâ€™t keep it together. You are a wreck." â€” Likely Composure. "There is no knowledge that could help you. This is beyond anything thatâ€™s ever been written. The facts of your current situation slip through your fingers like a sieve." â€” Likely Encyclopedia. "You are nothing. A worm in the sand, beholden to forces beyond your capability. Your achievements are meaningless." â€” Likely Authority. "Grand machinery chugs away at the edges of the world, each turn of a cog crushing you beneath its weight. The tension grows, the chain tightens, and the memory is dumped in anticipation of the next operation." â€” Likely Interfacing. "Find something to distract yourself. Anything. This is -- itâ€™s unbearable. Get something. Anything at all." â€” Likely Electrochemistry. "Words fail you. You canâ€™t describe you way out. There is no vocabulary that would even come close." â€” Likely Conceptualization. "You are unravelling at the seams -- but so is she. She is destroying you both." â€” Likely Empathy. "Dodge and weave and duck and twist and dodge..." â€” Likely Savoir Faire. "Take a step forward." â€” Likely Volition. "Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves." â€” Likely the Voice of the Paranoid.

On their second appearance, though, they've found a new audience: the Spectre. Harry gives an absolutely brutal one to the â€˜harshâ€™ version of the CHAPTER I Princess, calling her out having the gall to suggest they need to trust each other when she has done nothing but belittle and make thinly-veiled threats towards him. The Princess is so taken aback that she is rendered speechless. According to Pain Threshold, part of the reason why Harry is so scathing of the Princess is that she reminds him of himself when he woke up without any memories. After the Nightmare rejects Harry's last attempt at compassion, Half Light utterly tears into him for everything he feels guilty about and one thing he couldn't possibly have known: his break-up with Dora, his apocalyptic benders, ruining his relationship with Jean and the rest of Precinct 51, his slavish devotion to Kim and his fears he'll fuck that up too... and the fact that most of C-Wing (plus Soona and Egg Head) is currently trying to launch a raid on a Moralintern facility just to rescue him, but set off the alarm and start to engage in gunfire with armored forces. It's that last one that finally, completely breaks him.

Harry and the Spectre forgave each other in the previous chapter, so now they're both pretty well inclined towards the other. Everyone gets to see a change in scene, even if it's all memory, and Harry gets to sit down, have a cigarette, and show the Princess the Sevenfold Sunrise. She's still frustrated by not getting to escape but is glad of the respite.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_9bee1a7f	type	Eldritch Location
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_9bee1a7f	comment	Eldritch Location: Inherent to the setting, of course, but THE PALE turns it into even more of one, filling it with the eponymous "enemy of life and matter". The path in the woods seems to go on forever, Harry starts hearing apparitions of his actions from alternate timelines, and both he and his surroundings start to degrade into nothingness. It's somewhat subverted, though, in that whatever the stuff is, it's not the actual Pale; Harry doesn't experience any memory bleed-through like the Paledriver, only near-Death of Personality, and even that happened far quicker than the Pale usually takes effect. The Narrator's "eternity of bliss" also gets this treatment, with Endurance noting that Harry's mind isn't the only thing being "fuzzed out"; his pores are less defined, his heartbeat and breaths come less often and less strongly, and he can no longer feel hunger. It's described as him becoming like "a caricature of a human form".

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_9c8701b5	comment	A Day in the Limelight: With the blend in formats, there's very little of Disco Elysium's usual background description (ex: clicking on a mailbox leads to bringing up the dialogue window, where the description of the mailbox starts with MAILBOX: as if it's a character speaking) which has Skills chiming in. Instead, like Slay the Princess, the Narrator provides His narration and other voices fill in the gaps, though Harry's library of Skills finds a lot more to comment on. Since the Voices and the Narrator can hear and respond to them, the Skills have active dialogue with them and are more individualized. The Skill Inland Empire, particularly, gets to shine in this fic. Harry's imagination is far more cognizant of the whole situation than the rest of him, or of any of the Voices. Not only does it have Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory but it seems to know something about things that haven't happened yet.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In the prologue, the Ancient Reptilian Brain mocks Harry's Death Seeker tendencies: "Why else would you have come here, past the inner edge of the world?" This is the first hint at how Harry ended up in the Long Quiet: going into the 2mm hole in the world. When the Voice of the Hero muses on the Princess' name possibly being "Princess Princess", Inland Empire comes up with an image that sounds remarkably close to the Shifting Mound's true form: In THE DAMSEL, Harry's flask has turned into the Flask of Love and Anguish, and, to the horror of the Skills, is filled with sparkling apricot juice, foreshadowing the form that the Pale takes in the next chapter. While observing the meeting about saving Harry from the Swallow, Rhetoric notices that Soona at one point refuses to mention the Pale by name, even in the context of it manifesting inside where the church used to be. Half Light muses that she's trying to push it out of sight, out of mind — "but it will come all the same." The Narrator seems oddly perturbed by that statement... The Mythology Gag to the call with Dora listed below, a moment that's essentially an act of emotional (and possibly physical) self-harm on Harry's part, foreshadows Half Light's "The Reason You Suck" Speech while trapped in the Nightmare's Psychological Torment Zone.

It helps that she's polite. When Harry becomes too exhausted from the Spectre's possession to open the door out of the cabin, he decides to rest for a moment, and takes the opportunity to show the Spectre and the Voices some of his memories of Elysium. It's quite a sweet moment (and one that offers another vision of Precinct 41 courtesy of Esprit De Corps) that even the Narrator joins in on... but an observant reader might notice the check to get off the floor getting harder and harder... The tense, dramatic flashback to Harry entering the Swallow and coming to the Construct is capped off by Drama congratulating the other skills on the "reproduction" like a director at the close of a play.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_b3b1115f	comment	In his first appearance, the Voice of the Cheated is left furious after witnessing a failed check, thinking the skills have been literally leaving their fates up to a roll of the dice the entire time. Volition insists it's more complicated than that, but the Cheated insists they find a way to stop having to deal with random chance whenever they want to do something important. This is, of course, reflective of the differences between choices in Disco Elysium and Slay The Princess: the latter is a visual novel where making a choice is as simple as clicking an option and watching the consequences play out, while the former, being an RPG, has elements of randomness in the form of skill checks. The thought Harry gets from this exchange, Flagrant Disregard Of Reality, even suggests that Harry might be able to do as the Cheated says and throw away the checks.

Inland Empire also notes that spectres are much easier to deal with than wraiths, which is definitely true here. The climax of the chapter is a Whole-Plot Reference to that other chapter's, with the Narrator elongating the hallway beyond the protagonist's ability to escape and the ghostly Princess piloting his body to freedom, narrating her own actions the whole time to stave off His influence — except here, it's a joint effort of Heroic Willpower between Harry and the Spectre, and she's just not as good at it as the Wraith.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_c798a33a	comment	There are a number of nods to the Art-Style Clash between the two games: since Slay The Princess is Deliberately Monochrome save for the odd Splash of Color, Perception routinely fails to identify the colors of things around Harry, and Inland Empire describes the Princess' blood as "the only color in the world"; Half Light also calls her large, cartoony eyes "unnatural". It starts to bleed into a variation on the Musical World Hypothesis when the Spectre is unable to identify the things reflecting off the magnetic tape reels representing Harry's skills, until Inland Empire tells her it's color — and even then, she struggles to identify any of the colors except for red. It's outright confirmed in the lead-up to the Nightmare when Perception has a Freak Out trying to identify the color of the Princess' eyes... and realizing it can't tell the color of anything that isn't on Harry; according to it, the scenery has color, it's just somehow impossible to tell what colors exactly.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_e567510d	comment	For the Nightmare, Harry chooses to stay with her in the basement instead of killing or releasing her. In Slay the Princess this choice results in the Moment of Clarity, and this Princess is almost exactly the same as her, with the same kind of description and most of the same lines - but he is different, with his skills and memory shattering, so this chapter is called the Act of Futility. Harry is unable to free the Princess - he couldn't even with his skills, the checks required are higher than anything in his game - resulting in them tumbling down together into the depths of the Construct. The experience leaves Harry all but completely destroyed, with the Paleomammalian Cortex the only voices remaining in his head. Despite it all, though, Harry picks himself back up, and, guided by Volition, Empathy, and the Long Quiet himself, finds his way back to what remains of the cabin. In its depths is the Abyss, the Clipped-Wing Angel to the Moment of Clarity's Invincible Villain, left a broken shell of her former self. Knowing that slaying her wouldn't make a difference anymore and saving her is impossible, Harry removes the shards of her mask from her face, offers her a drink of water, and shares a short, sad laugh with her before the Shifting Mound comes to bring them both back to the light.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c	type	O.O.C. Is Serious Business
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In The Damsel, Empathy begins lacking skill checks and slowly slipping into a dazed "love" with the Damsel, which isn't noticed until the Voice of the Hero points it out and reveals it may have been compromised. The Voice of the Opportunist starts getting uncharacteristically worried when it seems that Harry is going to let the Spectre possess him, fearful of losing the advantage of being invisible and inaudible to her. After the showing of Harry's memories, the Narrator immediately starts in with the snippy Passive-Aggressive Kombat, but actually drops the act in a rare moment of genuine emotion. Half Light hates and fears the Princess, and in the Spectre chapter is very upset about Harry letting her possess him, let alone allowing her to take over for various Skills to pass hard checks. But near the end of the chapter, the Narrator's trick and impending death makes Half Light panic and make what he calls a Deal with the Devil, letting her take over. The Narrator's demeanor cracks again at Harry's final question in THE ECHO: The Nightmare path is the first where Volition pushes Harry to slay the Princess along with the Narrator (though it is somewhat justified, since in this route the Princess really does become something incredibly dangerous): Half Light is usually the first skill to feed into the role of Apocalypse Cop, but THE NIGHTMARE sees it embrace this side of itself, at the expense of its role as Harry's self-preservation instinct, as well as being downright cruel to Harry, insisting that he has no chance against the Nightmare and viciously berating him during her Mind Rape. Considering that its lines start lacking skill checks just like Empathy with the Damsel, it's implied to have something to do with the influence of the Nightmare herself. Played for Laughs when the Paranoid and the Hero just about order Inland Empire to say something comprehensible, and it actually does. When Harry starts considering sealing himself in the basement with the Nightmare, Shivers/the Long Quiet, who usually only speaks a couple words at a time, outright begs Harry not to do it.

The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_ebaaf931	type	Giving Up on Logic
The Fury of a Shattered Mirror (Fanfic) / int_ebaaf931	comment	Giving Up on Logic: Not intentionally, but much of Logic's dialogue comes from failed Impossible passive checks, since everything Harry's encountering on the path in the woods is such a massive Outside-Context Problem. It gets even worse after Harry starts internalizing Flagrant Disregard Of Reality, which gives it a whopping -3 penalty. It's curiously subverted in THE NIGHTMARE when the Voice of the Hero gets fed up with the Narrator's Fantastically Indifferent attitude toward the spatially impossible basement. The Narrator tries to shut him down, but Logic chimes in and, to the Hero's great satisfaction, says plainly that "None of this makes any goddamn sense."

When she realizes he's back, she slips into something resembling her typical Deadpan Snarker attitude, but both the Narrator and Composure note that it's a front.

It becomes a lot less funny in THE NIGHTMARE, where Harry could really use a ranged weapon. Several chapters have the "Everything goes dark, and you die." line delivered by someone different: in INTERMISSION I it's Perception and Endurance, in THE SPECTRE it's the Ancient Reptilian Brain and Limbic System, and in INTERMISSION II it's Visual Calculus and Half Light. Doorkickers Anonymous. With members ranging from Physical Instrument, to Inland Empire, to the Princess herself.

The Spectre is confused but decides to take it as a compliment, the Voice of the Opportunist agrees despite not knowing what that means, and the Narrator is apoplectic at the thought of any form of the Princess being associated with communism.

Later (earlier?), when Harry tries and fails a check to convince Kim his plan to enter the Swallow isn't an elaborate suicide attempt, Kim still relents in the end, believing that what his partner says about what he heard from the anomaly is real.

Pretty much everything Harry does for the Spectre is to make up for slaying her in a fit of Ultraliberalism: using a cross charm to make her more solid, performing the Stations of the Breath for her corpse, and offering to kill himself. When Harry and the Echo are sitting on the vision of the swingset at the Martinaise beach, two checks come up — an Easy Conceptualization check to "remember the sunrise", and a Formidable Inland Empire check to "imagine a sunrise". Harry chooses the latter, and the check succeeds, meaning that the Echo and the Voices get to bear witness to Harry's best rendition of the Sevenfold Sun Miracle. Even while dying of multiple organ failure, Harry still tries to give the Nightmare his flask. Of course, she then immediately tosses it into the void... Later, during the Nightmare's Mind Rape, an extremely difficult Empathy check lets Harry realize that the agony he's feeling isn't his own — it's hers. After seeing the events of CHAPTER I and the Nightmare's inception through her own eyes, he tries one last time to comfort her. She refuses it.
