Mirror Dungeon Event
Welcome. This is the city of peace, Metropolaris.
No one can be hurt here at Metropolaris.
The entity called it a city... but there's nothing here.
The only recognizable being here is the entity that greets you without even looking in your direction.
Ask if there are any other citizens. 'There are. Somewhere.' 'But you can't meet them.' 'Citizens of this city can never see nor touch each other. That is our revolutionary policy.' 'If no one can touch another...' The entity adds, a tinge of pride in its words. '... then no one can hurt another.' What will you do? |
Walk past the city. 'Do as you will.' 'Time does not heal all wounds. It only turns them into scars.' 'You will one day remember us and miss us. You will miss our world where no one can hurt or be hurt by anyone.' Nothing Happened. |
Stroll this city where there is no one and no one to meet. The city was infinitely vast, and no one even dares to breathe as we walk. And its citizens are forever at peace. All allies heal 20 SP |
Ask to shake hands. Gain a Charge E.G.O Gift depending on the result of the following choice. 'What are you doing?' 'Reaching out with your hands... to touch is a taboo.' 'If our hands touch, I'll be hurt. You'll be hurt too.' 'And one day... everyone will be hurt.' What will you do? |
Try to shake its hands anyway. Select to gain a Charge E.G.O Gift. 'NO NO NO NO NO NO!' 'NOTHING CAN HURT ME. DON'T LOOK AT ME. DON'T GIVE ME YOUR HAND. DON'T HURT ME.' The entity cries as it disappears. It leaves something behind. All allies lose 20 SP. E.G.O Gift Material Interference Force Field Earned! |
Back off and withdraw your hand. It didn't even have a hand to shake ours. You lower your confused, lost hand. All allies lose 10 SP. |

Trivia
- Resident of Metropolaris may be a reference to the Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. The head shape bears a similarity, and while the body differs greatly from Lang's, it is still a feminine form. Lastly, the name of the Abnormality's home Metropolaris (메트로폴라리스) only has 1 additional syllable from Lang's Metropolis (메트로폴리스).
- The E.G.O Gift is present as a logo in the design of Portable Barrier Battery, an E.G.O Gift only obtainable in 'Murder on the WARP Express' floor pack.
