[Are you people being serious right now? PEOPLE LIKE HER WERE TRAPPED BEHIND THOSE THINGS NOT TOO LONG AGO!]

Yeah, I'm done with mirrors for the rest of my stay. [...] Try not to get yourselves killed.

[kalinda]

Clearly.

[bezazzled]

I mean, it's not like a bunch of us weren't sucked into mirrors before, right?

Actually, I don't know if you were or not, but I was and it sucked.

[kalinda]

I was. And it did suck. [Literally!]

[bezazzled]

So is it true that everyone had alternate versions of themselves walking around and acting like jerks? Because that's what I overheard, but no one has told me if I did that, too.

[kalinda]

As far as I know, that is indeed the case. I'm not sure how it all worked, but it happened.

[bezazzled]

[Here's a looooong groan.]

That's so messed up! What if she did really terrible things and I get blamed for them somewhere down the line? She's gone, right? She better be gone or I'll make her gone.

[kalinda]

[Is she talking to a murderous twelve year old?]

I'm sure people will understand, especially considering it happened to several people.

[bezazzled]

I sure hope so. I'd hate to have my reputation tarnished by another me. Nothing good ever comes from having duplicates of oneself.

[kalinda]

I can only imagine. I'd rather not know what it was my double truly got into while we were all trapped.

[bezazzled]

Maybe no news is good news! A part of me still wants to know what happened, but the other part doesn't because it could be some potentially embarrassing stuff.

[kalinda]

I think that, if you live here, you should just get used to being embarrassed by what you're capable of doing-- if not worried.

[bezazzled]

I guess so. I'm still not used to the castle changing things up, especially when it tries to change me. I thought I was pretty lucky so far not having to deal with any of those loss things.

[kalinda]

I've felt the same way.

[bezazzled]

Was this your first loss thing, too?

[kalinda]

No, it was my second.

[bezazzled]

What was your first loss thing? Can I ask that? Or is that kind of taboo?

[kalinda]

[Sigh.] I was a princess.

[bezazzled]

Whaaaaaaat? Like with a big poofy dress and everything?

[kalinda]

Yes.

[bezazzled]

[She waits several seconds for Kalinda to elaborate on this. Then she finally realizes that she won't.]

Oh come on! You gotta give me more than that. What was it like? What were you the princess of? Was there a dragon or a knight in shining armor involved?

[kalinda]

It was never quite clear what I ruled over, if anything, though it was made clear that my [...best] friend was my prince. We were to protect one another.

[bezazzled]

Aww! Did anything come of this? You know, with your prince?

[Mabel stop]

OKAY, PRETEND SHE SAID THIRD

[kalinda]

[Oh my god, Mabel.]

We got out of it in one piece.

[bezazzled]

Oh.

[She sounds so disappointed...]

I mean, that's great! I think? What were you even protecting each other from?

[kalinda]

To be honest, I was sleeping most of the time.
