video ; diary 1 ; the best part of waking up is what where the fuck am i

[ Daniel wakes up in his hotel room in the village of Altstadt. He is definitely in Altstadt, and certainly not in a room in Wonderland which has styled itself to look exactly the same. And, it logically follows, this room is definitely not broadcasting a video of him without his knowledge or consent.

THAT ESTABLISHED,

Daniel springs out of a restless sleep and sits up on the edge of his bed, blinking in the morning light. It must be earlier than it looks, because nobody has come to knock him up, and he definitely asked to be knocked up at 7am promptly. He was very clear in asking to be knocked up.

They'd better not have forgotten. Might they have done? This is sort of a ghetto guest-house, if you want his honest opinion. There's not even a bell he can ring to call a servant.

Okay, Daniel doesn't have time to be annoyed by the inconveniences of rural life. His thoughts are too full of the last leg of his journey, which will be undertaken today, to the castle where he might finally find some safety -- so he stands up quickly, steps away from the bed. Lacking a clock, he just assumes he's late, and starts to undress hurriedly out of his woolen cap and night-shirt.

The network is still definitely not there, but if it were, it would probably now be broadcasting an early Victorian strip tease. ]

[ And Daniel trips over his feet going backwards. Clearly this is due to the trauma of being introduced to a social gesture years past his time and oh right maybe also that small matter of a hand suddenly popping out of a mirror.

The noise he makes is even less manly than it is readily transcribeable. ]

[Mell's hand is through the mirror and seems to wilt a little at his reaction. Is it really that weird? Not like they had mirror-mirrors on her side, so maybe it was weirder if you were used to mirrors being reflective...?

Well - she waves her hand a little, and the gesture is almost curious? As if like only doing it a little bit will make him less weirded out than the portal-crossing high-five??]

[ IT'S PRETTY WEIRD, GRANT HIM THIS PREMISE. That sudden hand just made him lose like eight sanity points and the walls pulse around him angrily.

He pushes himself to his feet, spares a frightened glance to those walls and then back at the hand. ]

How--?

[ Wow Daniel it was just a high five. ]

[Okay fine, premise granted.

In response to his question, her hand hesitates, and then turns palm upward, like she shrugged. Because she did.

She at least does his poor fragile victorian mind the favour of pulling her hand back so he doesn't have to keep looking at it. How's that?

Writing goes across the mirror:]

IDK how exactly but the mirrors are kind of like open windows for us??
But we're not allowed to cross unless the Queen says so! •‿•`
There's a whole other mansion on the other side of your mirror!

[ Daniel is incredibly torn between the part of him that's interested, and the part of him that just wants to book it away forever goodbye. ]

Like open windows?

[ He's probably gone completely mad.

Drawn by curiosity more than conscious decision, his own hand slowly follows the path of Mell's, towards the mirror-glass. A moment's hesitation. Then his fingertips bump against it.

And it's completely solid, so that's embarrassing. ]

[Aww that's kind of cute! She's not going to judge you, Daniel, it's a perfectly normal reaction! And better than freaking out and breaking the mirror, right Chell?? o‿o]

Nope - It's one-way! IDK why
Well no I mean we're mirrorside so I guess it makes sense
that we can go through mirrors but you can't!
I can't tell you the specifics of why just that it does, sorry!
