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.

Arya Stark | Mirror | OTA

[docilely]

Arya knows that the Real her would be disgusted when she saw her through the mirror, which makes her feel doubly ashamed when she sees only her own reflection instead of the world she watches and dreams of escaping into, if only she weren't too scared of the Queen of Hearts to try.

She tries to avoid mirrors after that, for the Real Arya's sake, not wanting to cause her any upset, after all she is Arya Stark, and this girl is No One. It's inevitable though that she flits by one from time to time, her ornate gown floating by around her, or forgets for a second and peers through, only to jump back suddenly when she remembers that she'll be seen.

[ she keeps spotting this girl-- familiar and not in all the small ways. quick, and tentative in her movements. most definitely hiding. so when faith sees her pass the same mirror a few times, she leaves a message: ]

Arya? Are you OK?

[docilely]

I'm all right. You don't need to worry about me.

[She knows concern for someone on the wrong side of the mirrors won't achieve anything, and she doesn't want to get Faith in any trouble. She knows she'll be in enough trouble herself, responding to messages from the other side.]

[ well. she could see the real arya saying something similar-- and the only time faith says it like that is when she does need worrying about. so she persists: ]

Need's got nothing to do with it. You don't have to hide-- it's OK.

[docilely]

I just don't want her to see me, that's all.

Who, the Queen? She's probably more worried about handling the Duchess right now.

[docilely]

No, not her. Arya Stark.

[ oh. oh god. ]

I won't tell her. Are you safe over there? I know things are getting a little crazy.

[docilely]

I'm as safe as I can be. Mostly I just try to keep out of everybody's way.

That's smart. This stuff usually blows over, right? Seems like the big bads are usually more focused on each other, at least.

[docilely]

Yes, everything should go back to normal soon. At least, I hope so - it's really hard avoiding everything with a reflective surface.

Tell me about it. Look, just do what you have to do to get safe. I don't know if you know me over there but she's kinda evil. You might want to keep some holy water on you, if you can get it.

[docilely]

How would I get it? Most everything over here is unholy.

[ oh shit she hadn't thought of that. ]

You don't have closets that'll give you anything? What about crosses? A cross would help if you make sure you always wear it.
