Is... Is this really L-Lindblum..? Did I fall asleep..?

[Wonderland, please have one absolutely baffled little Black Mage staring up at the Mansion from the gardens, unsure what to make of the building before him. He's heard Lindblum was big--not to say the Mansion itself wasn't huge--but... only one building..?

After a moment he crouches down in thought, looking at the ground for a brief moment before looking back up at it. Nope. It was still there.]

I wonder where e-everyone is...

[Minato smiled a little.]

Is it something you can't control?

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

I'm... I'm not sure...

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

You can practice by the hedge maze. It's okay.

[They soon reached the Mansion, and Minato opened the door for the mage.]

Just be aware of events and the mirrors while you're here.

[action]

I-Is that when this place becomes dangerous..? I think someone m-mentioned about mirrors and a Queen...

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Mn. Events are when the Mansion takes someone's memory and makes everyone else live through it. That person loses a word related to it.

Sometimes it's dangerous when the mirrors are active. But it's not so bad.

[Although a revolution is around the corner.]

[action]

[Blink, blink. Active mirrors?]

...D-do the mirrors talk or something?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Oh, right, the term "mirror" meant more here than it probably did in other worlds.]

On the other side of the mirrors is another world. The residents there resemble us in appearance but differ in personality. They're called "Mirrors" too.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

...O-oh.

[He thinks for a moment. Weren't... the manufactured Black Mages like Vivi but acted different? Now he's wondering.]

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

You'll get used to it. It's okay.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

I guess s-so... I've never r-really seen another me before.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Minato nodded.]

I know. A lot of others can say the same.

Sometimes the mirrors write on the glass mirrors to communicate. They can hear and see us, but not the other way around.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Are they nice?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

For the most part. They're separate individuals and should be treated as such.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Alrighty... I-I'll say hi to them if I see one.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[That actually made Minato smile a little.]

I think some of them would like that.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Oh uhm... Y-You said we couldn't see them, right? M-Maybe I'll write back if one of the mirrors on the walls says something.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Not usually. But sometimes they cross over here.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

So they can v-visit us?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

When they do, they force their version from here to go to the other world. We can't exist on the same side as our Mirror.

[Well, they weren't supposed to, anyway, but it had happened before.]

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

[What.]

...W-Why not?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

It's as though we can't be on the same side as our reflection in a regular mirror.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Oh... M-Maybe Wonderland would get confused if e-everyone was on the same side...

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Minato nodded.]

Maybe. You'll know when there are Mirrors around. People you normally know will act a little different.

[action]

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

...

Uhm, w-would they think I'm r-rude if I ask if they're a mirror?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. But you can ask them which side they're from, if you're worried.
