[Hello Promendaians, some few of you might recognize this smooth, purring voice you've been hearing over the comms recently. Yup, here's Knock Out transmitting again, and not realizing that his private comm is going out to everyone's PORTAL

That... That's probably what's going on back where you're from.

[ OH GOD THAT looks like it hurt. ]

[auto_enthusiast]

But I'm here!

[lunardancing]

No one explained the mirrors to you?

[auto_enthusiast]

No, no one explained the mirrors to me!

[grrrrrr]

[lunardancing]

Uh, well it's like there's another you still back where you're from, and the mirror shows you what's happening.

So some... some doppelganger is touching my Breakdown?!

[lunardancing]

Yeah, I think. It probably acts just like you would, if that helps.

video;

[auto_enthusiast]

Not particularly.

[lunardancing]

What was going on? It looked like something was wrong with... their eye. [ What is discerning robo-gender at a glance? ]

[He turns his PORTAL to face him, his expression sour even through the filigree mask he either hasn't noticed he's wearing or has already come to terms with.]

Someone had pulled out his eye. I-- or my doppelganger, whatever-- is dealing with it.

[lunardancing]

What?! Why would anyone do that?

[auto_enthusiast]

[Smiles grimly.] We have enemies, human.

[lunardancing]

So do a lot of people. That doesn't mean they go around pulling out people's eyes!

[auto_enthusiast]

Maybe we got lucky and got the best enemies, then. [SARCASM!]

[lunardancing]

They don't sound like it.

Is your friend going to be alright?

[auto_enthusiast]

It's just an optic. He has another one.
