[002] I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the MIRROR

[notafuckingnut]

What the fuck just happened. Somebody tell me that kind of shit's normal around here, because if it's not I'm gonna have to ask what the hell kind of protocol you have for a crash in fucking SPACE.


[ooc: Richie is unaffected. Mirror!Richie is a bundle of insecurities and repentant puppy!eyes and anal-retentively clutched self-control - he's convinced if he tries this whole behaving and being Good thing hard enough for long enough his brother will come get him - sooo consequently it will quickly become fairly obvious to anyone who's spent any amount of time with him thus far in the Mirror!Verse that yeeeeah he's SUDDENLY GOTTEN "BETTER". Or at least gotten a hell of a lot closer to it.  *gasp*]

[Not even a little bit, no. SUCH A TEASE. She may get a visit later now. Or at least days of stalking. /sigh ]

You think so?

[Yeah, probably not talking about the same thing.]

Look, Dark Eyes, I'm gonna lay it on you real straight. If you are too pure, too guilt ridden, too softcore, this place will chew you up, spit you out and you will lose your mind. I've seen you with that sad fuckin' look on your face and wondered if you would toughen up or crack. Looks like you toughened up. Good to see.

[Yep, definitely not. Regroup, and now have a less drooling and more baffled Richie instead.]

...What the hell are you talking about? You make it sound like this place is something out of Hellraiser.

Look. You're cute and your eyes make interesting promises. And you're catching on fast. So I'll do you a favor.

[She leans back and starts zipping on her boots.]

This place isn't quite out of Hellraiser, but. You have evil people with superpowers, you have the Hulk, you have vampires whom they deliberately keep hungry to torment them into biting people--and that's just the inmates--and you have mindgames on top of mindgames. You gotta have a posse, you gotta have a plan and you gotta have a way of defending yourself.

[...Richie just goes back to watching for a few moments again; she's very distracting and he can't concentrate on the actual words for the boots. Don't mind him, he'll check back in in a minute.]

Which would be easier if they hadn't taken my gun the minute I got here...

Wai-wai...what? No, fuck that. Ask your Warden for it back and some spare ammo. And see if he can't get you a vest to go under that suit. It won't stop everything but it can help you hold out long enough to get your hits in.

...You're fucking kidding me, right? Ask my lame-dick keeper for my gun. Just like that. I thought he was supposed to be in charge of keeping that shit under lock and key. I doubt he even has one.

[...Clearly he has not met Mirror!Will yet.]

Waiwait. You're with Will the FBI Guy, aren't you? The sonofabitch can't be anti gun, he shot me twice!

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Bullshit. What the hell for?

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

What can I tell you? I was just being that much of a bitch that day.

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Well fuck me. Maybe he does have a fucking spine in there somewhere.

[it's not like he's got a whole lot of Will-related experiences to draw from just yet, it might be legit.]

Lemme put it this way. The dude double-taps me, I Death Toll, and he pops his head into the Infirmary and actually manages to explain his reasons in a way I couldn't really argue with. Weirdest fucking conversation of my life.

It's worth asking about. Giving you a sidearm's a lot more convenient than having to raise you from the dead every coupla days.

...Well from what I can tell that sounds pretty much like him aside from the fucking killing people part. Seemed like a pacifist last time I talked to him.

He got a regular problem with that?

Re: [private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

All Wardens have a regular problem with that unless we Inmates learn to protect ourselves.

[Have a laugh; it just seems ridiculous given everything he thought he knew]

That's funny. This whole fucking thing is.

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

It is, Dark Eyes. It really fuckin' is. But you got a better chance of surviving here now then ya did yesterday.

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Dunno, seem to be have done okay so far if I'm still here.

[...Because this makes sense when he knows next to nothing about his Mirror!self's history here. Welcome to Richie!logic.]

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Well, that part's true. The really unlucky people just vanish altogether.

...Where do they go?

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

The ones that come back mostly say they visited their world. But for those of us who died there's no place to go.

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...So what happens then?

[...Because yes, evidently she's supposed to know these things, if only because he doesn't.]

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

When I find out, I'll let you know. I am pretty far ahead of the curve so I may become a Warden soon. Then I'll know the shit they're keeping secret and can tell my friends.
