The Tale of the Magic Mirror [video; anon by proxy]

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[A blank wall. Or a backdrop. Suddenly, the shadow of a girl with a giant bow in her hair, wearing a short skirt and puff-sleeve blouse, marches into view.]

Extra! Extra!

[And now she's holding up a frame, peering through. The shadow with the braid, B-ko, appears with clasped hands.]

Mirror mirror on the wall, please tell me how my hair looks today!

[The one with the frame, A-ko, tilts her head.]

It looks absolutely wonderful! You are surely the fairest in the land!

[B-ko pops up again, wearing a hat and trench coat. She speaks in a slightly deeper voice.]

Mirror mirror on the wall, please tell me how my outfit looks today.

[A-ko tilts her head in the opposite direction.]

It looks absolutely wonderful! You are surely the fairest in the land!

[B-ko pops up once more, this time with glasses and a mustache. She speaks in an even deeper voice.]

Mirror mirror on the wall, please tell me how my mustache looks today.

[A-ko tilts her head back the other way.]

It looks absolutely wonderful! You are surely the fairest in the land!

[B-ko pulls off her disguise, pointing an accusing finger at the mirror.]

I finally see what your game is! You'll tell anyone they're the fairest in the land, no matter who they are.

[A-ko spins the frame around and around.]

But that's the role of a magic mirror! They tell you exactly what you want to hear. Any normal glass can show you the truth!

[B-ko readies a baseball bat.]

You're the reason that guy I liked at school never asked me to the dance!

[A-ko backs away, still clutching the mirror.]

You can't break a mirror! It's seven years bad luck!

[The sound of breaking glass.]

Something big, and probably awful.

That's the way it usually seems to go.

Whenever these messages appear, it foreshadows some kind of...event. Usually caused by or related to the machine which brought us all here.

[cosmic_ring_hero]

...so these things are connected to the Porter or are they just really stupid precognatives?

[Vivi has a puzzled expression]

Is... is this a warning to someone?

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

To everyone, I bet. Bad stuff always happens when these girls make posts.

What happened last time?

[Houston just shrugs.]

No clue but everyone else seems to say these two shadow-ladies pop up before bad stuff happens.

At least we have some sort of warning. [Although Lyra's worrying too.]

[notagamblingman.livejournal.com]

Ah, hello ladies. Charming, clever, inscrutable. Well done.

[Someone is no longer distracted with helping their kismesis heal.

Not that the little bit of magenta in the background that's covering part of a smiley face will make it seem like much healing happened.

Nor do his bared teeth.]

You all motherfuckin' saying a motherfuckin' mirror without magic doesn't all get up at lying to a motherfucker? _{You're motherfuckin' wrong there, sisters.} That motherfuckin' reflection it all up and motherfuckin' puts up at before your eyes doesn't all get at motherfuckin' showing you what the motherfuck all your ownself is really up at being. _{And it'll all get up reversing a motherfucker's skin too.}

There's motherfuckin' all nothing motherfuckin' truthful about a motherfuckin' mirror.

_{And you don't all get up at having bad luck for smashing wicked shit like that.} That shit was all motherfuckin' poisoning the motherfuckin' mind. _{Poison all needs to motherfuckin' get at being destroyed.}
