Summary: A catch-all log for Mirrors and Reals during the reverse espionage event. Anything from Mirrors leading their daily lives, over Reals reacting to the show, to Reals and Mirrors exchanging messages goes here. Just label your locations and sides accordingly!
The Story:

Your own medicine is worth twice the sweetness in the bush, that is what they say! Here is my plan, now make sure you listen well, or you get it wrong, and then I would need to pair you all up, for only two even wrongs set my head back on right, and we've no time for such things, no time at all, do we?

As mighty as the sharpest blade, as stout as the hardest shield, a spool of thread woven from hearts of gold. It must exist, and I must have it! She'll do worse to my head if I search, but you'll help, won't you? I will let you see, and you will be my eyes! All good things come tomorrow - then I'll let you see, and you'll be my eyes, and when it's all done you'll use your own mouths to tell my personal ears all you know, won't you?

All of Wonderland's mirrors are suddenly working in reverse. The Real side can see everything, and the Mirror side is left with nothing but their own reflections. Details of the event can be found here.

<sub>[Anders doesn't fancy himself much of a detective. When all is said and done, he thinks he's better at finding ways out than finding things out, but when he's determined to see something done he's relentless in his approach, and maybe that amounts to the same thing.

Focused on getting a better understanding of the Mirror side, he's quite prepared to go door to door and turn the mansion upside down hunting for mirrors with views. Trying to communicate with his own Mirror hadn't gone to plan at all, but it's fine. Setbacks happen. There are other ways. Ways that don't require him to think about his Mirror for too long.

It's in a team room that he spots something out of place--odd-shaped mirrors. Very odd indeed. Hearts...?

Aha.

This must be where the infamous Queen of Hearts hangs up her hat.]</sub>

Well, now I have an idea where Alice's eyes got to...

_{[Time to take a picture in case the Duchess' magic wears off.]}

[ leliana, on the other hand, is very used to both detective work and snooping. so it should come as no surprise that she's poking around every mirror she can find. she doesn't often interact with them--only if they're doing something of particular interest--but she sits and observes. takes notes. moves on.

some people and some places are more interesting than others. the tea room is one rather particularly interesting place, both because of what the mirrors show and who is already inside when she comes along. she watches anders for a moment, head tilting to the side in curiosity. ]

Alice's eyes?

[ that is something she hasn't heard about yet. ]

<sub>[He looks toward the owner of the voice. It's been a confusing last few days with the amount of extra noise filtering through the mirrors; now that they can hear what the Mirrors are saying, sometime he's heard the whisper of a voice and turned around only to find no one there, realizing it had come from across the glass divide.

The minute he sees he has company, the solemn furrow in his brow he'd sported while peering into the mirror disappears behind a light smile.]</sub>

You're as quiet as a chantry mouse, you know that? I didn't hear you coming.

_{[A glance back to the mirror, stepping back to give her more room to access the other two if she wants.]}

I was just looking at this bedroom--it looks like it could be promising. There's that one jar there with... eyeballs. _{[Ew. Casually naming off anatomy feels wrong. More so that they're casually put on display in someone's room.]} I'm wondering if this is where our titular character lost hers.

[cutenug]

A fitting description.

[ what with her being the inquisition's spymaster and left hand of the divine. ... former left hand.

she takes the opportunity he gives her to step forward and peer through the mirrors into the queen's bedroom. it takes her a moment of looking, but--ah. there are the eyes. ]

It's a bit morbid for a decoration, don't you think?

[circlejerked]

<sub>[In retrospect, it is a fitting description. Leliana had afforded herself well during the zombie attack, silent and steady and prepared for danger. To be expected for someone with as colorful a history as her.

He should probably get used to someone who'd fought in and defeated a Blight to sneak up on him when he's not an abomination with the power to level cities, contrary to popular opinion.]</sub>

If you like body parts as ornaments.

_{[Should've guessed the Queen of Hearts would share the same aesthetic as darkspawn.]}

But to be hidden away in a chamber we can't normally see or get to? It must be important. And we know Alice might've been trapped over there for a time...

_{[He'd been thinking about this for a time before Leliana had walked in. Could the items visible in the Queen's chambers be valuable? Tokens of things she's collected? Obviously meaningful, and possibly powerful.]}

[cutenug]

[ she makes a thoughtful noise, looking intently through the mirror for a moment longer. he's onto something here. ]

Have you anything to write with? Or any drawing skills?

[ because she is not gonna pass up this opportunity to document everything she can see in this room in case in comes in handy someday down the line. ]

[circlejerked]

_{[He glances to her, catching onto her meaning quickly as it's exactly what he'd been thinking once he'd realized the potential value of the find.]}

Great minds think alike. I'll do you one better--

_{[Pulling his phone out from his robes, he flicks through it and holds it up to show the picture he'd taken.]}

I'll send it to yours.
