[Despite the cutesy username, this video opens on a man visibly somewhere in his mid-twenties, muscular arms crossed over his knees and a cheerful smile revealing canines about as sharp as you'll find outside of the monsters here.]

Hey, so, I'm one of the newcomers that showed up at the start of the month - nice to meet you all. [He waves one red-nailed hand before resting it over his left, slightly concealing the black ring on it.] I was asking the lady who explains what's going on to everyone whether she knew anything about what people being here means for where we came from, and she told me she'd heard some stories about Mirrorbound who saw stuff going on in their worlds through their mirrors. So if that's happened to any of you guys, could you let me know a little more about it? At this point I'm kinda crossing my fingers people aren't freaking out about me being gone back home. Or hey, if you showed up at an awkward time and want to commiserate about it, I'm here for you.

[The "freaking out" is honestly an understatement, considering the depths his partner has dropped to after losing people in the past. But to offset the more serious question, he reaches a hand offscreen and holds up...well, it's the right shape and size to be a soccer ball, even if it hasn't quite reached the modern style of them yet.]

And for anyone old or new - I'm looking for some people to play soccer with. If you don't know it, it's a sport where you split into teams and try to kick a ball into goal defended by the other team. Obviously it's more fun with more people, but if anyone wants to learn to play or just get a bit of a workout, we can go one-on-one.

[A brief pause after that, and then:] I think that's it for now, so let me know, okay?

[He's still not quite enough out of public image mode to openly ask for someone to practice fistfighting against. Maybe another time.]

I heard of these people, and it is not uncommon to find someone you're familiar with only few years younger or older than you met them last time. I hope their experiences will be helpful for you, however—

[ While he heard of those situations, it is better if the people affected by those experiences speak about them. Instead of second-hand accounts... ]

Isn't a hint sitting right in our name? Mirrorbounds. Perhaps what we are is reflection cast from the other side of the mirrors.

[personal profile] futhark 2020-02-10 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly that. [ If you never remember them being gone when they were two years younger than now, then... ] Perhaps the time out-there stands still until you return. Perhaps, there is a "you" living their lives as it was meant to be. There's a guy who was gone and recently returned, and he's not the only one. Those like him will know more.

[ He clicks his tongue and shakes his head ]

I'm the opposite with magic, been there, done that— [ Got the t-shirt ] But I used to help a kid with barely any experience in that. So if you need something explained, let me know.
futhark: (back)

[personal profile] futhark 2020-02-18 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not every day you get to wake-up in another world. Sounds like stuff from a fairytale, really. Thankfully we make for... rather self-sufficient little community. Most people around here will help you.

But until you feel more comfortable here, maybe don't wander into the aristocratic district. [ If it sounds like a warning, that's because it is. But to not make it sound too ominous, Caster follows up with a question ]

So how visible we're talking about, if you don't mind me asking. You mentioned soccer, so I guess you're not a royal but more of an athlete?

Sorry– Momo, right? Just a sec– (soccer sounds like some normal fun he can get behind, but there are more important things that need to be addressed before he can ask about his familiarity with the game.)

That can seriously happen? Like, the "seeing through mirrors" stuff. Do we know who those people are?
coherer: i know what you wanna say (Default)

[personal profile] coherer 2020-02-09 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
(glances away at the wink, eyebrows high.

... so friendly...
)

Right. That's good news, isn't it? We can check our mirrors, we just have to remember not to obsess over them. (guess who's gonna' obsess over his? this guy.) I really appreciate the heads-up, man.

–hey, I've got leftover white paint from an odd-job I did a few days ago. Wanna' use some for your sad soccer ball?

[he waves a little at the video, checking to make sure that momo can see him before he starts.]

Do you mean like...things that were going on without them? I don't like to think about it. I worry about Shije being upset all over again, but at least I can count on Jiang Cheng to take care of her.

[and, from what he recently saw, she can take care of herself fairly well too.]

Is that really all there is to it? You kick a ball?
weiward: (Default)

[personal profile] weiward 2020-02-10 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want to go back?

[well that would be the natural thing, wouldn't it? most of the mirrorbound probably feel that way. wei wuxian frowns a little, because his own feelings about that are sudden and complex. so he pushes them aside, focusing on the game that's being explained instead.

he nods slowly once the basics are explained. ok. yeah, he's got it. wei wuxian grins and announces proudly:]


Lan Zhan and I will play!

[ Oh hey, arrival buddy! This question is definitely relevant to Sougo's interest too, so don't mind him here. ]

Have you heard from anyone that has seen something in their mirrors yet?
timenace: (if you fall)

[personal profile] timenace 2020-02-11 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sougo's whole shtick is time, so something like this doesn't take too long for him to understand at all. He didn't even look tense before, but he still manages to visibly relax. ]

Really? That's such a relief!

[Screw this typing thing. She's just going to talk. Even if it's slow while she thinks of the words.]

Did she say what kinds of things they saw? I was told that time didn't pass.
stopfen: (I immediately recall it)

[personal profile] stopfen 2020-02-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mirrorbound. When we were talking they told me that time stood still there and that we'd forget everything that happened here once we weren't back.

Not that there's anyway to be sure.

spaghettimonster: (OH MY GOD WHAT)

[The skeletal wolf isn't very conversational during the days of the full moon, so he doesn't see this post until later. And, being fresh off the doggish state of mind, he doesn't bother reading the comments before he rushes in to reply...]

Huh?? People are seeing things in the mirrors...?? But, I've looked in my mirror before. And never seen anything!!

[Lots of times. Loads of times. He spent a few hours a week in the Looking-Glass House the first couple of months, missing family and friends, but the frame was all the sign he got of them.]
spaghettimonster: (I HAVE NO BROTHER ET CETERA...)

i'm sorry, he gets an early glimpse of Papyrus being... like this

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2020-02-12 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
What... But I'm in the welcome crew!??

[And this is the first he's hearing it. He scowls, grinding his teeth, then holds up one finger.]

Please wait a minute.

[The feed from his side ends, and for a couple minutes he listens to the various recordings. The original message over again, then a couple of the earlier replies at random, before returning to reply again. This time his voice is a little more stilted, with forced politeness that's not quite managing to sound sincere.]

...Okay... It sounds like Miss Nessie told you that... So I'll ask her about it. She should know more...

[He fidgets for a moment, then sighs.]

But that isn't your fault!! Did you have other, newer questions? I'll help where I can.
