[40410]

[The wall comm' is on, and so are the lights. Except that that's not electrical light. Alex's room now sports a broad bay window.

The cameras are all off, and most of them are gone, including the one in front of the door and the camcorder that usually sits on the desk. Only three remain, and one of them is in Alex's hands, tripod and all, as he carries it across the room and slings it into the closet.

A CD player provides poppy background music. Alex whistles along while he works.

Off-camera, there's a towel pinned over the mirror.]

((OOC: for convenience's sake, let's say all threads which aren't J's or the Operator's happen before those two.))

[Tattoo, demonic cursed scar, same thing really. The wackiest things happen when you turn your dad into a monster.]

...The mirror version. So Alex was taken too.

Exactly. I tell you what, I'm glad you know about this stuff already. I talked to one guy who didn't seem to get that I'm not my regular. Frustration city.

[It's all said mildly, though.]

It's something that's difficult to take in. Our mirror versions have never crossed over, after all.

Your name is still Alex, isn't it?

[video]

[40410.livejournal.com]

I've heard that it's happened, but that was before my time.

Yep, our names are the same. And you're... [It takes him a few seconds, but then it's been a while.] Allen? [It's not trying to remember the name so much as it's trying to work out whether that name definitely fits this voice.]

[video]

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

It has? It must have been before my time too.

That's right. It's nice to meet you. [Allen just can't help but try and be polite, even to alternate possibly evil versions of people he knows are going to be sent back anyway] Just what is the Queen planning with this? Alex, what are you doing on this side of the mirror?

Good to meet you too! [NEW FRIENNNND ♥] I... don't exactly know what she's planning. I don't think I'd be allowed to say anyway. Did you see Her Majesty's big broadcast thing? Most everything I know is from that.

[video]

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

She's keeping it a secret even from you? I saw the broadcast, is she always so ridiculous? Arresting people for singing...

[ Alex bites his lip worriedly. One of the downsides of having a batshit nutters Queen is that you never know whether she'll react to being called ridiculous by laughing or tearing off your head. ]

Well... it's her queendom, so she can do what she wants, you know?

That's wrong. Just because she's a Queen doesn't mean she can treat people however she wants, we have rights. A ruler is meant to care for their people, not abuse them.
