You're My Friend, They're My Friends (IC Intro)

Whatever you were doing before, wherever you were before this moment it doesn't matter. The world seems to grow dark around you: an almost inaudible giggle floats to your year before you lose consciousness completely. Other it belonging to a child there's no defining characteristics of the voice. Maybe you just imagined it? Even if you did, one thing is clear when you wake up.

You're not where you were before. The bedroom you find yourself is plush and well decorated, almost like a fancy hotel or apartment. That might be little comfort considering that it's clear that you don't recognize it. Before you rush off to explore your surroundings there's a message pinned to the door to the hall.

From the desk of the Queen:

Hello, my friends dear.

I can only hope you enjoy your new life here. For those you stirring from sleep, this is my promise that I will keep: I will let you go if that is what you desire but the price for it will be quite dire.

For my rules are quite clear that I don't wish you to leave. Yet I will, if you can take the grief.

If you wish to know my name and the reasons to my game, meet in the audience hall for tea. Tea, yes, a grand tea party for my grand guests! Cake and sweets are what we need to meet. In an hour we both will be there, no peeking before!

Signed,


Instead of a signature, there's a small feline paw print underneath as well as some strange sort of heart crest?

There seems to be others moving outside your room. Perhaps it's time to explore, to see if anyone else knows what's going on. Don't slip on the playing card (an ace of hearts, with the heart shape replaced by the strange crest). That there's a scribbled phrase of 'dormez-vous? dormez-vous?' on the card but surely one of the others slipped it under your door.

This Castle seems like a strange place ot live in... yet for now it's quiet and peaceful, even if the Audience Hall is locked.

What world am I from...

[She... actually stops and thinks.]

I guess I'm from the Kingdom of Mirrors?

...hm. I haven’t heard of that one, either.

[Another one, huh... is this concerning or a natural consequence of there being so many worlds?]

Do you remember anything strange happening there before you got here?
imozon: ([dd] Perfect copy)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really know what usually happens there, since...

[...oh. Hm.]

Actually, I think I am something strange that was happening.

[She says this with a grin, as if she's delighted to realize it. Which she sort of is.]
caligulass: veronica looking kind of sad, presumably because she lost. (but xandeeeeer)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-04 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Are you, now.

[is this going to be a pain in the ass...]

What kind of strange thing are you talking?
imozon: ([dd] Pointing)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-05 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Someone made copies of heroines. I'm one of them.

[The copies, she means...]
caligulass: veronica smiling smugly. (you've activated my trap panel.)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

...

That sounds handy. How did they do it?
imozon: ([dd] Perfect copy)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-05 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Reflecting their images into magic crystals. I think Shadow used mirror abilities, too.
caligulass: veronica smiling smugly. (you've activated my trap panel.)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-05 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. I will perhaps have to ask you where to get some of those and how to use these "mirror abilities" when we've found a way out of here, then, provided I can count on your assistance.
imozon: ([cv] Reflection)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-08 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do what I can. I don't think there are any more crystals, though.
caligulass: veronica looking at her hands in confused frustration (bruno left with the braincell again)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-08 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, there aren't? Well, it couldn't hurt to learn about the methods at play anyway, even if they're not immediately available to me.
imozon: ([dd] wtf)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I could ask Shadow, if he... if she? If they're still alive when I get back.
caligulass: veronica's most neutral expression. (it's a beautiful day in askr)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-10 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, is there some concern over that? That's unfortunate.
imozon: ([dd] Stance)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-11 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. He's the bad guy.
caligulass: veronica looking kind of sad, presumably because she lost. (but xandeeeeer)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-12 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. I’m assuming he’s the sort who isn’t even a lesser evil, then.
