3 Truffula Seeds

Okay, so what I'm getting from all that is you shouldn't go near mirrors. I never knew mirrors could be so dangerous. Except if you had a zit on your face-- now that's frightening!

[bronwe]

What is a zit?

[findatree]

It's this gross red thing that grows on your face. It's all full of pus and stuff.

[bronwe]

[ Yechy. ] Oh. Yes, that would be quite the nightmare. It is a funny name to call a pimple.

[findatree]

I never thought about it, but I guess it is funny.

[bronwe]

And still less frightening than being stolen away to that other world.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Thanks for sharing.

[Ted, you legitimately worry him sometimes]

Actually, you should probably stay away from anything out of the ordinary. Especially if it shows up in the lobby because that place is just the gateway to crazytown.

[findatree]

But if I did that, I wouldn't ever leave my room. That's not very fun.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Wow did you actually forget who you're talking to?

[findatree]

I was making a point: you need to get out more.

[whichwayyoulean]

What? No I don't, I get out plenty.

[fantasies]

Well, just magic ones. I guess it's kind of hard to tell the difference, though.

[findatree]

Maybe throw something at it. If the thing is sucked into the mirror, you run the other way.

[fantasies]

That could work!

We should have a box in the lobby of stuff to throw at mirrors, in case they ever show up again.

[findatree]

Okay, it's a plan.

[fantasies]

What kind of things should we have? [Some rustling in the background.] Stuffed animals or something?

[ino]

It's more like you should avoid random objects that appear out of nowhere. If everyone around here stopped using mirrors, that'd be a real nightmare.

[findatree]

But aren't the things you wish for random objects that appear out of nowhere?

[ino]

I would avoid doing that too, if you can help it.

[findatree]

This place sure has a lot of rules.

[ino]

It's not really a rule so much as a bad things have happened in the past to people who made a lot of wishes type of thing.

[rose_of_battle]

Actually, the best thing to do is to avoid anything strange that appears in the lobby.

[Like she's an expert in following her own advice.]

The last thing was a book.

[findatree]

Great, now I have to worry about books too.

[rose_of_battle]

Would it help to know that so far, the ones in the Library seem pretty harmless?

[findatree]

That's a relief.

[rose_of_battle]

Have you been to the Library yet? It's pretty big.

[Understatement of the year.]
