Here it is again, yet it stings like the first time

[eatsyourscience]

Who: Seta Souji [eatsyourscience] on the Mirrorside, Mirror!Seta Souji [denyingpets] on the Realside, and anyone stuck with them on their respective sides of the glass
Where: All over Wonderland
When: From shortly after the Queen's announcement, until the end of the event
Rating: PG-13, to be safe
Summary: Souji and his Mirror have switched sides before, under circumstances that weren't entirely different.
The Story:

+ The Mirror +
It's been nearly two years since the Queen of Hearts ordered her Mirrors through the glass to keep the Real things from crossing through magical doors. That was when Souji's Mirror received this mark on his forehead, barely hidden behind his bangs, and it's been itching and stinging and driving him insane ever since. He has to get rid of it. He has to, and if he can't manage it, he'll ask her to unmake him. He can't stand it anymore.

He darts through the glass when he's ordered like a loyal thing and he begins to stalk to Real side. He'll find some information, some clue. He just has to look around, talk to people, make people talk to him. Anyone will do. Anyone at all.


+ The Real +
Moving over to the other side of the glass is an unexpected jolt, but it's not unfamiliar. Souji's been here in this room before, but the terrariums had spiders in them then. He takes a moment to wonder at what happened to them before shaking his head and leaving the room. He should see who else is on this side and see if there's anyone who needs any help. He can fight or heal, so he might come in handy.


[OOC Note: This log is a catch all for both Real Souji and Mirror Souji. It's open to anyone, whether we've planned something or not. Just let me know which one you want in the subject line.]

What is it with these boys and their reflections? Georgia watches with annoyance for a few seconds before giving up her hiding place and walking forward with purpose.

"You looking to get rid of that thing? Is that what you're doing?" She glares through her matted hair, daring him to make a move.

[denyingpets]

Souji closes his eyes, irritated, but not particularly surprised. There's someone else who's been trailing him as well, and at least Georgia isn't him.

"Do you even own a comb? Or are you not able to use the closets on our side either?"

[akapsycho]

Georgia laughs harshly. "Trust a traitor to care more about appearance than getting the job done."

She clenches and unclenches her firsts, annoyed at how he obviously wants to dismiss her.

"You'll need to spend less time staring in the mirror if you really want to get rid of your fancy tattoo."

[denyingpets]

Souji knows she's right, but it's just so strange to see himself. He turns away from the mirror, facing her. There are still faint scars on his face and throat from letting her cut on him once before.

"What is it you want from me?"

She must want something or she wouldn't have followed him into the room.

While he waits for her answer, he presses his hand to his mark, as though to physically suppress it.

[akapsycho]

That's an excellent question. One she doesn't really have an answer for. Curiosity, maybe.

But she's pretty good at coming up with bullshit when she needs to.

"Making sure you aren't looking to sabotage our efforts." She narrows her eyes. "Why else would you be here, after all?"

[denyingpets]

He gives her an exasperated look from under his hand. "What could I possibly gain from sabotaging any of you?"

Belatedly, he hopes that she isn't the type who becomes more convinced of something when it's denied.

[akapsycho]

She laughs, loud and humorless. "As if you wouldn't gain something from bringing her the sword yourself. If someone else finds it, you've done her no good. You keep your pretty tattoo..."

[denyingpets]

Souji rolls his eyes and starts to walk toward the door, intending to go past her out of the room.

"It doesn't make a difference. You're as useless as your fuck buddy." He pauses as he draws up beside her. "Not that you'll have him for much longer at this rate."

[akapsycho]

She turns towards him sharply, hair whipping around her head in a wave.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

[denyingpets]

Souji pauses and puts a hand on his hip.

"He won't have any use for you, if he manages what he's planning."

[akapsycho]

"And what makes you say that?"

[denyingpets]

"He does. Based on our conversation earlier, he'll either die or he won't want your particular brand of...crazy." For lack of a better word.

[akapsycho]

She stares for a moment, eyes hard.

"You're either flat out lying or misinterpreting. Either way, you're being very. Very stupid."

[denyingpets]

Souji smiles and holds up both hands in an exaggerated shrug.

"I guess you'll just have to wait and see."

[akapsycho]

Georgia stares hard for a long moment and then turns, stalking off.

"This isn't over, asshole." And with that cleverness, she's gone.

[denyingpets]

Souji watches her go, then chuckles softly and goes about his own business.
