+ A Forward dated (6/12) Royal Proclamation +
[ It has been 24 hours since the chess match and after some impatient redecorating, everyone's feeds - Mirror and Real alike come to life with a video set to Baroque music. There is no speaking yet, simply a slide show displaying various parts of the new Mirror side of things. It's an introduction of sorts.
The new Throne room which is where the Real side's ballroom is located.
Though the White Queen's mirrors can't go without a ballroom of their own.
Finally, her own chambers are displayed, with everything neat and orderly, and all signs of the Queen of Hearts (including all of her very odd...pieces and parts of things in jars) completely gone.
The music fades out, and soon the White Queen, sitting on her throne graces the screen. She is addressing both sides today, however they won't be able to communicate to each other, only to her. ]
My dearest Mirrors and Reals,
The time has come for us to put aside our differences and all the Queen of Hearts used to put you at odds with one another. We are, after all, one kingdom and as my sister the Red Queen proclaimed, we shall live in peace and harmony.
[ It's not quite what she said, but it's close enough. ]
From henceforth, I proclaim that no Mirror need to spy on the Real side on my behalf. You have no good graces to earn with me, no reason to bring me information about the other side. I, unfortunately, have no control over the events that occur, but let that be all the dear Reals must worry over. You have my word that there will be no command for you to hurt or kill and you must not live in fear of my mirrors only wishing to cause harm.
...Of course, I cannot help it if some mirrors do have this tendency, but I will not advocate it.
Now, onto my new subjects. And to that point, what your former queen demanded of you.
You will no longer be unmade at a whim. Please do not live in fear of a mistake. You aren't merely subjects, you are a people. From now on ruled by me, yes, but not as a figure to be feared or only one to please. I will create new mirrors as new Reals arrive, and you will all be cared for.
There is one exchange I have made with Wonderland's magic, but that does mean we've had to give something up to have a bit of color. For too long our outside world has been black and white. No more.
[ She pauses, then dramatically claps her hands, the sound echoing in the room. ]
There are no more tea rooms on our side, dear mirrors. But you do now have a beautiful garden. The color is limited to the gardens only, but oh, I do hope you find it as glorious as I do. Please, do not confine yourselves to the indoors only.
[ Go touch some grass, please. For her title being the White Queen, things aren't quite so blandly colored and she smiles with a soft nod of her head. ]
I urge any of you, real and mirror alike, to now take this time to introduce yourselves. I'm quite curious about you all. Though I will say, you will be speaking only to me and at this time, Reals and Mirrors will not be able to address one another.

Knew you weren’t really dead.

[The pieces where there. Just didn’t figure how they’d come together.]
But I guess there can only be two queens on the board at a time, huh?
no subject
[ She's very confused, wondering what her sisters were getting into while she was wherever she was. ]
I suppose that's true, yes, but once, my sisters and I all lived together. I miss those days. We were hardly queens, then.
no subject
[That was usually how they phrased it, too. Lost. Not dead. Just...gone. Just not here right now.]
Looks like they did their job. Neither of your sisters seemed to have any clue over who put ‘em there. Weird, right?
no subject
I'm sorry, it's all just so absurd. Someone had to put them there. Although I will say, the power of words is quite real. Wars have stopped and started over words.
no subject
Seems like someone over here was in your corner from the start. Any idea who?
no subject
no subject
[Was this her stake in it from the beginning? She seemed genuine. But then, most liars do - assuming that’s what’s happening here.]
no subject
[ From what she can tell, anyway. She tries to think, settling back on her throne. ]
Perhaps Alice, the dear heart, tried to help me somehow, without my sisters knowing.
no subject
[This is a casual interrogation now, sorry.]
Your sister - the Red Queen - she didn’t really talk about you unless someone else brought it up.
no subject
[ She smiles for fondness of Alice, then her expression softens. ]
Perhaps it was too painful for my sister to remember me.
no subject
[The Queen of Hearts - she seems, seemed, a tad too impulsive to pull of a thing like that, though he could be wrong. The Red Queen...they collectively, comparatively know far too little about her. She could be more than capable.]
no subject
Whatever the reason, I'm here now and I have quite a mess to clean up from the Queen of Hearts.
no subject
So how well do you know Alice?
no subject
Not very. Unfortunately, I was murdered by someone before I could truly get to know her.
no subject
no subject
[ So, not helpful. ]
no subject
[At least he knows a thing or two about that, and not even because Wonderland is a real goddamn pain.]
no subject
[ Which is quite distressing. ]
no subject
[Don't tend to. He's been an exception.]
no subject
no subject
[Yeah. He doubts it.]
What happened when you came back? Do you remember that?
no subject
[ She thinks about it, letting out a soft breath as she closes her eyes to think. ]
I...remember feeling very warm suddenly. As if something started here.
[ She presses her hand over her own chest, over her heart. ]
And it spread until I was tingling even in my toes, and then my eyes opened and there I was.
[ Opening her eyes, she lets out a soft breath. ]
It all felt very sudden.
no subject
[Returned some...not-dead gestalt where all the other residents go when they disappear, but don't die? People didn't tend to use that word, died. As if that implies too much finality.]
