Monday - Half Past Brillig - Inside the Mirror

[strongestgirl]

Anybody looking at Pippi's antique mirror a few hours after she fell into it will notice that the reflection of the actual surroundings will fade a bit and another image appear behind it

Pip watched the mirror from his bed and lit a cigarette. "I hope she's alright... I hate not being able to do anything."

[strongestgirl]

Pippi stopped her galomping and looked around.

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip waved at her, hoping that maybe there was some sort of otherside mirror she could see him in.

[strongestgirl]

Pippi stood still and listened intently for a moment. Eventually she shrugged and continued on her way, hopping over a brook that seemed to run out from under the mirror on the other side.

[cyclopeanmerc]

"Pippi? Can you hear me?"

[strongestgirl]

Pippi keeps looking around. She definitely hears something.

[cyclopeanmerc]

"Over here! It's Pip!"

[strongestgirl]

"Pip? Pip! Are you here? Where are you?!"

[cyclopeanmerc]

"I'm outside the mirror! Are you alright?"

[strongestgirl]

"The monster didn't hurt you did it? Are you okay?" an unfamiliar boy's voice asked.

Pippi turned to look at somebody outside the frame of the mirror.

"Oh... I guess that was you. I thought... Yeah, I'm fine. He agreed to leave you guys alone as long as you don't go into the woods past the bulbous looking tree over that way... Did you just say anything about a mirror?" She asked handing the paper she was holding to the unseen boy.

"Well, we'll see how long it holds to this." the voice said. "Mirror? No. You sure are obsessed with mirrors. I'm sorry our elders couldn't help you with that. But they would like to honor you tonight at the feast for your efforts to help us. Will you come?"

"...That'd be nice but, I really should keep looking."

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip waved both arms. "Can you see me at all Pippi? Or am I just talking to myself?"

[strongestgirl]

The boy Pip couldn't see, but could hear, and who could not see or hear Pip, shook his head and headed back to his village.

"It is you? I can hear you!" Pippi is looking around frantically but for the most part her back it to Pip and whatever he's looking out of on her side.

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip is just lecherous enough to take the back gazing to it's fullest extent while he could. "You're stuck in a mirror! I can see you through it!"

[strongestgirl]

Pip is a pig.

But he's French so it's charming when he does it.

At least, that's what he would say most likely.

"I knew it had to do with the mirror..." she muttered. "I can't see you though. And I can't find anybody who knows anything about mirrors that'll tell me how to get back."

[cyclopeanmerc]

"We're trying all we can on this end," Pip said. "Walter said he's going to talk to Azri-something or other. Supposedly he's an angel. You going to be alright in there?"

[strongestgirl]

"I will." Pippi nodded. "I always come out on top..."
