[OPEN] You want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
Who: Greg, Gregory, and all of their new friends! (You!)
Where: Real and Mirror Side
When: May 13th-20th
Rating: PG for baby swears
Summary: Gregory is not good at finding valuables and Greg is not a good judge of character. (I'll match tag style, btw!)
The Story:
😠Real Side😠
Gregory doesn't know what a malarkey is, but he knows the Queen said they could go over to the real side, so he's gonna do it! Because the mirror side is BORING! And all he has to do is find something his dumbo real likes and bring it back, right?
EASY.
Except when Gregory goes over, he realizes that all the things are things Greg likes! Or he wouldn't have the things! UGH, GOBBAMIT! It doesn't take long for the chaos that engulfs Greg's room to leak into the hallway is Gregory grabs something, stares at it, then throws it away because it's clearly not good enough.
UGH AND THIS IS TAKING UP ALL HIS REAL SIDE TIME TOO!!!!!
Anyone who happens by will discover a mess and likely hear the tantrum from quite a few rooms away.
🔍Mirror Side🔎
It maybe takes a little bit before Greg realizes he's someplace else. Like, he's pretty sure there was...more outside before? And also it didn't look like Gunsmoke. Hmmm.
A mystery!
Greg's on top of this one. He gets a magnifying glass from a closet and is just. Staring at everything through it. Supposedly this will help at some point. When he's not busy giving himself a headache, he's eating donuts like a good coptective, and also maybe he's looking for Wirt? Wirt gets lost a lot, after all.
And what better way to find Wirt than to interrogate random passersby?
"CITIZEN! Have you seen a teenager in a big red hat?"
Greg awaits your answer, staring out of his great, big, magnified eye.

no subject
"Well, you could try writing him a note," he says. "Or maybe a picture? That way you don't have to write it backwards. Or, I dunno. I could help you with that? We write backwards all the time so it's not a big deal for us."
no subject
"You can write backwards? I can only write a little! Backwards has to be even harder!"
Greg is impressed. And while he isn't all that interested in learning how to write normally, he's suddenly really interested in writing backwards. Except...
"Did you have to go to school to learn that?"
Ugh. School.
no subject
"No, we don't really have school over here - just like you don't have school on your side of Wonderland," he says. "We just got used to it, because if you don't write backwards then it's hard for Real Things to read it."
Wirt's Mirror pulls a marker out of his pocket and effortlessly writes "!ollɘʜ" on the glass, and draws a little smiley face next to it.
no subject
Greg waves his hand at not-Wirt until he hands the marker over. Just below the first message, Greg copies his own version. It's...squiggly. But he's still proud of it.
"Quick! Show me how to write my name!"
no subject
"Okay, okay! Hold on; let me see it--"
He takes the marker back and carefully and clearly writes Greg's name, but backwards:
no subject
Once Wirt-- the other Wirt --is done, Greg grabs the marker back and gives it a shot:
"Hmmm. That was hard. G's are hard."
He reaches out and wipes the mirror clean.
"Could you write the message for me? I don't know how good the other me can read and my G's aren't very G-ish."
no subject
He takes the marker back though, and smiles at Greg patiently.
"Sure, okay! What do you want to say to him?"
