[auto_enthusiast]

[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

...So nobody told you about the mirrors either?

[The video swings around as if a certain someone is flailing his arms about flamboyantly.]

Obviously!

[lunardancing]

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]

[r_a_m_1982]

....

Well, just look at you. I love red.

That the mirror that shows part of your world, didn't I gave you a guide about this place? I thought it was explained there.

Here, take a look.

[auto_enthusiast]

[It's a sign of how bad his mood is that the compliment doesn't even get a response. The camera swings around to his face--masked with a dark filigree set against the red edges of his helm--as he immediately reads the attached document.]

.....

I would have very much appreciated being given this the first time we talked, Ram.

[r_a_m_1982]

[Ram's mask is his helmet with a blue-ish plexiglass visor to cover his eyes.]

Everyone wakes up next to the a mask and a mirror, I thought you knew that part.

Mine shows my dead over and over, I stopped looking at it because it's not something I like to see. So I forgot to mention it to you.

[auto_enthusiast]

I woke up on the street. This-- [He touches the mask with two sharp fingertips.] --was on my face the first time I transformed.

..... [Shudder.] Well. That sounds wholly unpleasant.

[aeterno_arma]

That's a mirror that shows part of your world, sir. We all have one.

[auto_enthusiast]

Everyone?

[aeterno_arma]

Everyone, but every person has it's own, so it looks different.

[auto_enthusiast]

Scrap this place is strange.

The king and queen said that this is our reality, and everything we did back home was a dream. So they decided that if we enjoyed our dream so much that they'd give us that mirror so we wouldn't forget it.

That's their logic anyway, but they're kind of crazy so who the fuck knows.

Also, you suck at hide and seek.

[auto_enthusiast]

I don't think crazy even begins to cover it.

I also don't think crazy only applies to the... ah, the king and queen.

[He sneers... and then sighs.] So maybe I got a little distracted.

[chickbro]

I was being nice.

No, it doesn't, but hey, I'm just the unwilling messenger here. You don't have to believe me. I'm perfectly sane though.

[ Snort. ] We'll call it a draw.

[auto_enthusiast]

Believe me when I say I didn't mean to impugn your mental stability. I still haven't quite managed to calibrate my gyros to handle this place.

What a pity. I'm usually so much better at games.
