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.

[That name is still terrible, wow.]

Because this isn't the first time Reals have been able to watch us. Most Mirrors haven't existed long enough to remember that.

[It's...a surprisingly straight-forward answer, actually.]

[rosswood]

how long ago are we talking here

[Interesting. How much more info can he milk this guy for?]

[notsogryffindor]

At least three years, I believe. There was a chess match, and as a reward for winning all Mirrors were permitted to be on Real Side for an entire week - something of a vacation, I suppose. However, it allowed all of the Real Things to watch us from this side.

I suspect that's the only reason it bothers any of these Mirrors. That, and the inevitability of our Queen's wrath.

[rosswood]

whats your play then
what do you gain from switching with us

[notsogryffindor]

Nothing. It's work.

[And he loses nothing by saying so. Everyone knows they serve the Queen of Hearts.]

[rosswood]

but everyone on your side seems mighty eager to do it anyway

[notsogryffindor]

Some might be naive enough to want to switch places for their own means, but most just want to continue to exist. It's admittedly a powerful motivator.

[rosswood]

and you don't care

[It's not really a question. Nothing about this guy seems remotely...emotional, exactly. Maybe that's why there's so much shit tacked up on his walls.]

have you just been here too long

[notsogryffindor]

I don't.

[He can't.]

I also don't see how that matters to you.

[rosswood]

call me curious
also because stapling a bunch of pages that all say the same thing to your wall is kinda freaky
all work and no play etc. etc.

[Well look who's fucking talking.]

[notsogryffindor]

Our entire existence is all work and no play. There aren't many other ways I can explain that to you.

[It's more work. ...Just not work for Her Majesty.]

[rosswood]

no that was
that was the shining it was a movie reference

[Completely went over this guy's head, huh? Figures.]

fuck it never mind

[notsogryffindor]

[For someone who's never seen a bit of muggle media in his short life, he certainly has "looking into the mirror like he's on the office" perfected.]

I wouldn't know. Are you done then?

[rosswood]

ya i guess
thanks for the info
laterzzzzzzz

[And, ugh, Alex is never saying "laterz" again. Even ironically.]
