2009 Halloween Update

I was bored and I felt like going to one of those games where there's a mirror that makes a copy of your player. So I went to Catalog and saw that there was a black background, and in the background was a silhouette of a robloxian with crimson, sunken eyes. I had thought ROBLOX was just setting the mood for some new Halloween update or something, so I had dismissed it as something silly that was supposed scare us. I continued my search as I clicked on Games; the background had returned to it's normal state. But the robloxian was still there.

I tried to ignore this as I typed in "Mirror" in the search bar. After entering my search, I saw that the shadow figure was gone, but now the ROBLOX sign in the top left was in a Bloody font and said "XOLBOR". I sort of was frightened, but I had continued to move on, still eager to end my night with the memory a fun game, and not a memory to fuel my nightmares. I clicked on the mirror place that seemed most appealing to me and joined. Everything seemed normal; I saw in the mirror my normal robloxian. I can recall the place had the words "HALLOWEEN UPDATE" in it, but I saw nothing but a few pictures of cobwebs hanging here and there.

I moved my character around and then one of those scripted lightning things flashed. It was a bright flash, but I thought it was nothing but a lightning effect. I continued to cheerfully play the game, letting the previous events slip from my mind. All was joyful until I had noticed my mirror-reflected copy was missing from my view. I scanned around the map with the camera, to find the copy sitting on a box a few studs away from mine, its back turned towards me. The ambient grew dark.

I saw another flash of lightning before the glass shattered, breaking the barrier between us. I stood in a frozen position, staring at the copy, too afraid to do anything at this point. After a few minutes of stillness, the robloxian turned towards me. It's eyes were red like the silhouette's, but in addition had bloody teeth. Another flash of lightning filled the screen.

My robloxian was now on the ground, being burned by the copy.

I shook as I waited for my robloxian to respawn, but it didn't. I continued to wait, but it continued to do absolutely nothing. It just laid there and burned. I positioned the camera up from the body to see that my copy was close to the screen, staring at me. I exited the hell out of there.

I have abandoned the account this happened to me on, and since then, there has not been any strange occurrences as of if on the accounts I own today, but it still edges me today to join games alone.
