Guys there is some SHIT

[...]

[Warded to Seance Crew]
Heyyy guys ♥ Sooooo I was washing my face in the bathroom and [...] my reflection didn't move in the mirror for a sec. It was just [...] staring. [...] I'm suuure it's nothing because what kind of a crap mimic would want to fuck with people in the bathroom?? And like I might've just [...] been tired. But, just to be safe, I wanted to tell you guys. I'm letting Nia know so she can handle it however, but I'm not, like... saying anything to anyone else. To avoid a panic.

[Warded to Zach]
What if this is worse than last year, Zach? What are we supposed to do? How do we

[...]

It's not that big of a deal, right? It didn't do anything. It might not have been a mimc or anything weird anyway. I [............] don't want to be so freaked out worried about something this stupid.

[Warded to Nia]
Hey yo, um. For your list of shit that's gone down. When I looked in the mirror after washing my face, my reflection seemed like it was just staring at me.

Maybe I just imagined it. But I thought you should know.

[...]

I'm sure it's nothing. But can you not tell anyone it was me? I told some people in my year but otherwise... [...] I know it'll probably get out eventually, but for now I just [...] don't want it to be a thing. Just for a little while.

That's like.... REALLY creepy??? But your reflection didn't, like, do anything ELSE??

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

Def not a fun experience but [...] no, nothing else. And then it was like... normal, again. So. [...] I mean, maybe it was nothing.

Seance Crew

[colemoss]

i don't think you'd just imagine it, though. that doesn't sound like you.

Seance Crew

[racingstripe]

And it's not like this is NOT something they would do. I mean, we don't know EXACTLY what they do, but it doesn't sound like they'd be all "nah that's too much"???

[...] I'm REALLY glad it didn't do anything else though.

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

[...] Yeah, maybe. I [...] don't think I imagined it. But I don't want to rule that out.

Nia/Hazel

[heyitsnia]

Oh. That's freaky. And also not the first mirror incident I've heard. Promise my lips are sealed. I'll just add a notch to the "creepy mirror stuff" tally.

Thanks for telling me. You doing okay, sugar? It's pretty unsettling to experience these things, to put it lightly.

Nia/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

I wasn't sca Yeahhhhhhh, subpar end to the day. [...] What else happened with a mirror?

I kinda hate saying too much generally because it always turns into some big deal. But with this kinda crap I think we should probably all be up-to-date on the stupid forest crap shenanigans, so, yeah, happy to share. [...] I'm ok. Just [...] tired, now. At least nothing really happened.

Nia/Hazel

[heyitsnia]

Another student came up against something, last year, when everyone had been taken. Her reflection tried to get her to [...] harm herself. Not being able to trust your own reflection is not great.

Absolutely. People fuss and it makes everything worse. I totally get it. If anything else happens, you let me know.

Hazel & Zach

[readingrainbows]

[ ..................... ] HOW long was it FROZEN again, exactly?

Hazel & Zach

[lilwitchhazel]

I mean, like. Not super long? But it was weird; it was like, right when I was onto it not moving it was suddenly back to just being my reflection. [...] Which is why it could maybe just be a brain trick.

Hazel & Zach

[readingrainbows]

Well. Maybe! We all get SPOOKED sometimes.

But [...] But, Hazel, you're not someone who OVERREACTS very often. If you're WORRIED ENOUGH to mention it over the journals, I think [...] it's something we should take seriously. [...] I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

[bubblewrapped]

These things are assholes.

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

Mondo assholes. Just let me wash my face in peace, ugh.

Seance Crew

[bubblewrapped]

[...] I wonder if it was the strangers or the ghosts.

Seance Crew

[odder]

I trust that if you think it was something other than being tired, it probably was.
That's strange, though.

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

[...] I appreciate that you guys think my brain and eyes work ok.

It was def weird and just sorta [...] unsettling. Also, like [...] what was the mechanism for doing that? Was it somehow in the mirror? Did it just [...] do something to my head to make it seem like I saw that?

Seance Crew

[odder]

[...] I don't know.
They must be able to intrude on our brains at least a little. How else would they know how best to torture us and everything, right? Or maybe they stay in the mirrors to study us. They can watch us without us ever knowing.

[professionalcorpse]

shit, i'm sorry.

i mean, i'm with jeffy and cole. i don't think you're just [...] making shit up. it might not be on the 'fucking around with people's interpersonal relationships' level, but it's still a pretty dick thing to do. which [...] sounds right up their stranger alley. unfortunately.

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

Nothing to be sorry about.

It def does. I wish we just had a better idea of what they wanted.

Seance Crew

[professionalcorpse]

making us all stop trusting each other and [...] maybe ourselves too might be a motivation on it's own?

[Hazel]

you sure you're okay?

want me to come over? we'll do your hair real nice and i could bring my laptop? watch something that involves zero mirrors?

Hazel/Micah

[stclair]

HEY I'm not going to ask if you're OK or whatever (unless you WANT me to!!!!!) but if you want some hangout time then guess whose schedule is wiiiide open tomorrow????

Hazel/Micah

[lilwitchhazel]

♥ You're the best. I mean. This is kind of whatever, right?? Stupid mirrors. [...] Don't try to play Bloody Micah or whatever, though, to see if you can get your reflection to do some weird shit.

Annnnd I'm never going to say no to some time with you. We can discuss your very successful production!! And not talk about this!!

Hazel/Micah

[stclair]

Oh man oh man oh man oh man. I hadn't even THOUGHT about playing Bloody Micah until you mentioned it????? [...] Which I'm not going to do. Promise.

It was AWESOME wasn't it??????? The best part was getting to watch the audience. There were SO MANY people who had this face like they couldn't tell if they were allowed to laugh or not, which is TRULY the mark of a good production. Something that makes you think.

Seance Crew

[evercreep]

That makes no sense.

[...] Not that I'm doubting you, but it doesn't sound like anything we've seen before.

Seance Crew

[lilwitchhazel]

Yuuup. Not being able to sort out what or how it did it is [...] not cool.

[...]

Hard to know how big of a deal to make about this.
