[Video]

[Poor Elaine looks heartbroken as the video comes on. Behind her is Mhairi's empty box, looking small and discarded in a corner. She brushes some hair out of her face and leans back in her chair.]

Amazingly, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's amazing what the human imagination can come up with sometimes.

I thought my mirror would leave some lasting damage... I mean physical lasting damage. [With that comment she suddenly looks rather angry.] Mirrors aren't supposed to be on the same side as us. It's not fair. Those were the rules.

[She opens her mouth as though she's about to say more, but the look in her eyes calms and her shoulders slump. She crosses her arms.] This feels like my pet just died. Or was stolen. [Not gonna cry again, not gonna cry again.]

Shit. Your mirror stole a PLANET?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. My planet.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Can you like.. Get it back? Telepathically or something?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

No. I tried, but it wouldn't listen.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Maybe it can't hear you on the other side?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

...I think it's just listening to her now.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh.

Well maybe there'll be another event and you can get it back?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Maybe. To be honest I don't think she'll let it live that long.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Would she really do that? That's... fucked up.

*Poor lil planet!*

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Rather than let me have it back, yes.

...Yeah, it really is.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Oof. I mean.. I guess if you made another one it wouldn't be the same huh?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And the point was to help me learn how to use my powers, which I'm better at now. So there's no point in making another one. I just wish it didn't end like this.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

*He's not sure how to console her. There isn't a Hallmark card for "We're sorry your planet got swindled."*

Maybe you should make another one anyway. It might make you feel better.

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

...Or maybe I'll get a pet.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

That would probably be the sane thing to do, yeah. I have a very boring fish and a crocodile. Which probably aren't the best pets. Maybe a cat?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

If anything, it'll be a hedgehog.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

A hedgehog? I met someone else with a pet hedgehog. Do they make good pets or something?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

I'm not actually sure. They have sentimental value for me.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Oh.

*Stupid grin*

You should name him Sonic and then he can meet Vector and they can race..

Sorry.. that... probably doesn't mean anything to you. It's a ... video game thing.

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.] I know what you're talking about. Sonic the Hedgehog.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Oh. Awesome! *Tim has a new favorite person!* Everyone here is either from the past or somehow doesn't know what a video game is. It's a technological nightmare.
