Perhaps we all need a lesson in 'things not to do in Paradisa', because clearly you're not learning. So let me give you a helpful little hint:

If there's something new in the middle of the lobby, chances are it's the castle's doing and going near it will make something stupid and/or dangerous happen to you.

I mean, honestly, given it's a mirror, I'd of hoped you lot would have been more wary of it, given mirrors were a big part of the last problem we had. If you're incapable of learning such things, I suggest getting yourself a buddy who is.

...insert sarcastic reply here....

Thanks for that wonderfully timely and informative post.

aww yis

[mal_addict]

You're welcome! I'm just being a good citizen.

[Shut up Mal, James already knows he was dumb to go through it. But there are other issues here.]

Yes well, better to be far too curious and get in dire straights and learn something, then be left behind and not know a thing. [...He didn't think this through. Don't judge him.]

[mal_addict]

...

James if that's your closing argument for going near a mirror where mirrors were trapping people inside them less than two weeks previously, you're really going to have to try harder.

[unnaturalpause]

And I was among those lost through the mirrors previously. [No, he knows he's being dumb.] But no, it's not that. [A pause, as how to describe this...] I was testing a theory and it seems I was right. Hopefully.

[That's not as confident sounding as he wanted it to be.]

[mal_addict]

...

Is the theory that you keep repeating the same action in the hope of a different result? Because they already have a name for that. It's called madness.

Yeah, well...it was shiny.

[SILENCE. SUCH A JUDGING SILENCE]

So are auto-mobiles. Are you going to jump in front of one of those next?

[OH WAIT, YOU KIND OF ALREADY DID]

[vampirize]

[SHUSH THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET IN HIS TIMELINE]

No, but...Mal, I'm a scientist. Checking strange stuff out is technically what I do.

[mal_addict]

Even when it's obviously magical and obviously going to do something stupid to you?

[ol_northy]

Do you mind me asking about this previous mirror incident?

[mal_addict]

People got kidnapped into mirrors and their mirror selves ran amok for a while.

[ol_northy]

No kidding. Are we talking doppelgangers?

[rogueofheart]

[There's a lazy sounding voice that replies]

Why is everyone acting like this isn't normal?

[mal_addict]

Perhaps because it...isn't?

Are you... [drugged] ok?

[rogueofheart]

I'm pawsitively fine. No need to worry at all.

You haven't seen the Unicorn around, have you?

[not_mafia]

Ah, might that be the mirror that those Paradisans spoke of, then? A few that I have encountered mentioned a mirror prior to their arrival in Wonderland.

[mal_addict]

...Oh boy.

Yes, that's the mirror I was talking about.

LOVE HIM MAL

[not_mafia]

Ah, I see. Then you must be a resident of Paradisa! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance; I am the White Rabbit.

[forsometimenow]

I'm not sure some people are ever going to be stopped, sadly.

[mal_addict]

Some of them really can't help their own stupidity.

[forsometimenow]

I guess they've never heard that curiosity killed the cat. You'd think that people who have been here a while would know better...

[psych0p0mps]

i didnt go anywhere near it i was halfway across the lobby
and this isnt even the same mirror world im pretty sure

[mal_addict]

How did it get you then?

[psych0p0mps]

good question
i dont think its too farfetched to say probably magic
