[Video]

[At first, it's just a video of a blank wall, trembling a little - but then whoever's holding the device raises it up to their face: It's Chell. Well, it looks like her, but that expression is very not-Chell.

Her eyes are wide and she looks scared and confused and more importantly, she's talking. Loudly. A lot.]


I'M NOT DEAD?! But I'm not me either?!

MIRRORS ARE YOU OKAY DID YOU MAKE IT OVER HERE TOO?! REPORT! How are you doing did the roots get you?? Have you heard from anyone else? Are you all stuck in your Reals too because I think maybe I am and she's noaaaAERK --- fshfu-

[A funny look crosses her face, and the device falls from her hands. There's a few seconds of it just recording the floor, but in the background, Chell whines. She stumbles against a wall, by the sound of it, but she goes quiet. A moment passes, and the device is picked up again: This time, Chell's expression is more controlled, more tired, more annoyed.]

Don't touch the plants.

[She says firmly, nearly through her teeth. Then she ends the video.]

((ooc: You can specify who you are replying to, or leave it to chance, as Mell and Chell struggle to agree on a timeshare arrangement for control.))

A little late for warnings, don't you think?

[ Terrible mirror right here. ]

[Chell glares. She can't remember if she's talked to this person before, but she's starting to get the suspicion that he's a Mirror. It could just be paranoia, or it maybe it's how her other is struggling to get to the front.

Then again, she was obnoxiously eager to talk to everyone, so---!!]

[Chell clenches her eyes shut, shaking slightly, but she struggles to open them seconds later. Her voice is tight again, but there's less contempt in it, and it's loud and almost squeaky, like the first half of her initial transmission.]


It'd be a lot -- Better if she'd- just-- listen and- SHARED!

[ Ah. 'Zack' grins. ]

You'll have to teach her, then.

It's not nice of her to ruin your fun.

What in God's name--?!

[ This isn't even really a video call; it's more a reaction that gets video transmitted. Daniel actually has no idea what Mell looks like, so that's a non-starter. And he doesn't immediately connect 'chattering voice' with 'chattering writing', because he's slightly distracted by a) FIGHTING ROOTS EVERYWHERE?! and b) everybody going crazy over the network. ]

[For hilarity's sake, we'll say Mell hasn't gotten around to fixing Chell's standard testing uniform, so Dan's old timey mind gets to see her bare shoulders! The tank top may not have 'Aperture' printed across it, but it still seems to be what Chell decided to wear when dealing with violent plants. You can see the cut on her upper arm quite clearly.

You can also see her face quite clearly as she stares wide-eyed at the response, squints, tilts her head, and then snaps her fingers and grins. That panic seems to be gone entirely!]


Hey! You're that guy I saw changin--

[Her head twitches - a look crosses her face, and it's not really disgusted but it's the kind of look one gets when they're, say, suddenly picturing someone naked they didn't actually want to see naked. Thanks for that. She glances up, sort of frowning, before she shakes her head quickly, and that wide-eyed look is back. Mell rolls Chell's eyes.]

Oh, like you wouldn't! I know how long it was since you--

[RIGHT TALKING TO SOMEONE don't be rude Mell focus on one conversation at a time.]

HEY Daniel Mayfair or something right? Is your Mirror with you yet? How's it going?
livinlavitaeloca: (please understand • the road to hell)

[ WOW THANKS FOR REMINDING HIM THAT HE STRIP-TEASED THE MANSION. Wait hang on-- ]

Miss Mell, is that you?

[ He doesn't sound displeased to see her, but he definitely sounds confused. What in the name of frick is going on today?

For Mell's sake or possibly his own, Daniel is going to politely pretend that she's not a) half-naked or b) talking to herself like a crazy person. ]


Barker, actually -- I -- I thought you couldn't enter our mansion?

[ yes because that's the most pressing issue today way to prioritise daniel ]
testmetestmetestme: (It's Me!)

[Mell shrugs and glances somewhere for it.]

Weeeell normally not without permission? And not without sending Chell-

[She points at herself with her thumbs here, for some reason.]

-over? But man this has been, like, a really weird week, right??

[personal profile] livinlavitaeloca 2013-10-27 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspect it will only get weirder.

[ Preach it, sister. ]

But I'm afraid I don't understand, [ he admits after a moment of trying really hard to do so. ] Who is Chell?

[ He kind of gets the mirror thing, but at the same time kind of really doesn't. ]
testmetestmetestme: (Uh Oh)

video;

[personal profile] testmetestmetestme 2013-10-27 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oooooooooh boy. She can already feel Chell trying to shove her way to the front so she takes a moment to just stand there with a twitchy look on her face to push her back. It's hard, though! Chell is really really determined and forceful and being so mean about this!]

Um-- okay! Okay like-- Normally I'm on one side of the glass and Chell is on the the other because we're like-- opposites? Sort of?? And like for one of us to go to the other side, the other has to like -- switch places --- CHELL COME ON I'M TELLING HIM YOU DON'T EVEN GET ALL OF IT!

[At least she turns away for that outburst. Ahem.]

SO LIKE normally I'd look completely different! But I'm like, in Chell's body instead bec---

[Whoops! She sways and her eyes shut for a second, and then suddenly that wide-eyed and slightly confused look turns very serious and kind of angry looking.]

I'm Chell.

[ guys

guys stop it

you're giving him cockroaches ]


Excuse me?

[ Opposites? Perhaps two selves separated? Now joined? Daniel takes an unconscious step away from the overflowing craziness on the screen. ]
livinlavitaeloca: (how? • they are all dead)

[ Daniel's tempted to continue going 'what what what p.s. what', but… you know, after some of the shit he's seen in Wonderland, that explanation's not even unlikely.

What has his life become. ]




[ Oh hang on, that actually explains why so many people are apparently getting on video to fight themselves. ]

And that is happening to everyone!

[ Congratulation Daniel! Welcome to the same page as everybody else! ]

Too late. I got nicked.

[Jo sets her jaw, giving an anxious glance downwards before turning her attention to the feed.]

I haven't lost it yet, but I can--

[She clenches her teeth, closing her eyes for a moment. Holding onto control is taking a lot of effort.]

I can feel her in there, fighting to come out on top.
lightgunhustler: (020)

[personal profile] lightgunhustler 2013-10-31 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's the plan.

[Stubborn is right. An admirable quality for them to have in common, really.]

I don't give anything up easily. This is no different.

What about you? You hanging in there okay?

[They might be strangers, but that doesn't make a difference. They're in the same boat. Her concern extends to just about every Real here, with very few exceptions.]
lightgunhustler: (158)

[personal profile] lightgunhustler 2013-10-31 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Bad.

[She has to wonder about just what 'distracting' might mean. Had Chell lucked out when it came to mirrors and wound up with one that was just talkative as opposed to violent? If that's the case, Jo's jealous -- and that's putting it lightly.]

She's a demon. And really has it out for the Reals. Though that's supposed to be pretty typical, right? Most of them don't seem to like us much, but--

[She finds herself cut off suddenly, cringing. It's not just any Reals I'm after, meatsack. You should know that.]

I'm going to try and get myself contained somewhere. Just in case.
lightgunhustler: (028)

[personal profile] lightgunhustler 2013-11-04 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I have a plan. I think I can keep her under control if I employ a few tricks of the trade.

[Which means enlisting another hunter to give her a hand -- someone capable of painting a proper Devil's Trap or something to keep her contained. If she can do it without the Mirror interfering, she's golden.]

And you? I think that one of the resident angels might be able to mute your Mirror for you for awhile.
lightgunhustler: (075)

[personal profile] lightgunhustler 2013-11-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. You, too.

[She wishes she could do something more to help, just like she always does, but thanks to her own mirror's potential interference, she doesn't think she's in any position to offer anyone anything.]

If you see me in person-- you might want to keep some holy water handy or something. I know my mirror's not the only demon around.
