Summary: Event log! Angel investigates things on the other side of the glass, while Lily tries to defend against some of the nastier Mirrors on the Real Side. Other characters may have closed, pre-arranged threads on this log, as well.
The Story:
Angel

[When it's clear that the Mirrors have started using the rifts to come over to the Real Side intentionally, Angel doesn't waste time. Late on the morning of July 18th, he'll be in the Angel Investigations office on the fourth floor, arming himself for battle-- not that he can carry much if he's planning to travel, but there are Mirrors of all kinds on the other side of the glass. Vampires, some who appear to be demons-- his own is a piece of work, and enough to give him pause about crossing over to begin with, but he intends to keep the trip short. If his own Mirror does try to start trouble, he trusts Cordelia to do the right thing.

He might have also set a few traps, just in case. It's not like it's a secret who his Mirror would be gunning for, after all.

From the afternoon of the 18th through the 21st, Angel will be spending a great deal of time on the Mirror Side, with routine trips back to the Real Side to try and assess the current Mirror situation. Even though he knows he won't be encountering his own anytime soon, he finds it strange that he can't find any trace of him anywhere in the mansion, no signs of his handiwork. He'll also be making a trip to check on the Core on the 18th, as well as a second one on the 20th to see if there's been any change. Things clearly aren't working the way they should be, after all. Others who are interested in the Core or snooping around Mirror Side are free to run into him anywhere in the Mirror Mansion, and he'll also be available to cross paths with anyone trying to deal with stolen belongings or other Mirror-concerns during his trips back to the Real Side.]

Lily

[Lily has chosen to stay on the Real Side during this event, concerned about the Core but knowing that enough people have crossed over to investigate that someone should stay behind and perhaps try to help mitigate the thieving Mirror situation. From the 18th onward, she can be find moving throughout the mansion offering protective charms to anyone who might want them, taking care to ward the room she shares with James as well as Sirius' down the hallway without hesitation. In addition, she'll be on-call for the clinic should anyone have an injury that needs tending and there aren't enough hands to go around. As for items of sentimental value, she doesn't have much to take, being a practical sort-- but she'll be defending her engagement and wedding ring fiercely if anyone tries to take them.]

Might as well contribute in a way I’m good at. [She flashes Jo a grin, although Cami’s been more than a little worried about what’s happening now that the mirrors are involved. As bad as a few people have been in Wonderland proper, the majority are good, decent people who just want to live as well as they can in spite of where they are. The comfort drawn from that turns to an equal measure of concern when applied to their opposites; it has to, given that the Mirrors are meant to be the opposites of the people they’re based off of.]

What about you? Run into any Mirrors I should be looking out for? [Not knowing anything’s off yet, Cami reaches for a beer. She holds it up, silently asking if Jo wants that or maybe something else. She’s on the customer’s side of the bar, after all, and honestly Cami doesn’t expect to see Jo working while all this mess is going on anyway. The woman is not only far too proactive, she’s got the talent to maybe find out something useful in all of this mess.]

Not just yet, thankfully.

[She gives an appreciative nod towards the beer Cami offers, reaching out to accept it and crack it open a moment later. She's always preferred the sealed stuff-- much less chance of some smart-assed bartender slipping holy water in it if they were wise to demons.]

Looks like there's a lot of thieving going on, but nothing violent-- at least not at the moment. You might want to watch your wallet, so to speak.

[The Mirrors are after much more personal items, after all.]

Seen anything suspicious yourself?

[Getting another drink for herself, Cami opens hers and steals a sip as Jo talks about what’s been going on. Cami’s heard similar rumors, and she nods at the mention of the thefts.]

A couple of people have been talking about missing things—although with all the people switching sides, I guess it’s going to be impossible to know for sure just how much is gone until everyone gets back. [There’s no way to do inventory otherwise, and Cami is silently thankful that it seems her mirror isn’t as much of a klepto as others are.]

Is that normal though? For the mirrors to start stealing things? [It seems like something that would warrant mention if it were, and Cami’s got a number of items she worries about them finding.] Because if it’s not, they’ve got to have a reason for it. Maybe if we can figure out why, we can figure out why all of this torn-reality mess is happening, or even how to fix it.

[It’s an unlikely goal, but one still worth hoping for. It’s certainly better than the alternative, even if Cami herself has been lucky thus far.]

Not just yet, although I should probably check my office. [Working bar is good for hearing rumors, but people have told Cami private and personal things during their sessions. She doesn’t want those files to turn up missing like so many other things have; bad enough she already got a scare in that regard at the start of all of this.]

There might've been isolated incidents of theft before, but no, nothing like this that I remember.

[She feels an unpleasant twinge in her chest at the very idea of playing at being helpful, but it's worth it to play along for a little while at least-- she's learned that people are willing to tell her Real things. It's useful.]

They have to be working towards something. [She grimaces.] What's in your office that needs protecting?

[That’s—actually a curious question to be asked. Jo’s got a pretty good idea of just what’s in her office, and Cami takes a slow sip of her drink as she tries to decide if that momentary sense of something being off is nothing, or an instinct she should follow. She grins when she lowers her beer, then shrugs a shoulder as if to play it off.]

Just a painting Klaus gave me. [Her gaze drops down to the counter; there is a painting that had been a gift, one that she wants to keep safe—but it’s in her room, not her office space on the sixth floor, nor the chapel it’s become on the first.] It’s one he painted of a street in New Orleans. A reminder of home.

Right.

[The answer comes quickly, almost immediate, as though trying to play it off as merely having forgotten.]

It means a lot to you, doesn't it.

[She eyes Cami for a moment, studying her for some kind of reaction, any kind of tell without being overt about it-- or at least trying.]

You really miss him, huh?
