I never realized how much I used mirrors until now. Or how many surfaces reflect. I caught a glimpse of one of those visions in a door knob the other day and a second ago in a knife. The knife was the worst because of the vision. It's like this place is mocking us at the same time it's trying to depress us. Not just because of the knife, but because of the mirrors too. We use them to make sure we're showing our best self and that all our scars are covered up. Instead, we're seeing our worst sleeves, old wounds re-opened and it just sucks.

Sorry if this this rambled. And sorry if you see me with massive bedhead or something.

I'm glad I don't wear a lot of makeup.

Do you really have a twin here?

[restinglichface]

[am_i_a_monster]

Why was the knife worse?

text

[am_i_a_monster]

Because of stuff in my past and because of the future I've seen.

Mind if I ask why? I'll tell you my scary story if you tell me yours.

[am_i_a_monster]

Have you seen me around? Seen the scarf I wear around my neck?

Re: [Private]

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah, I have. I figured it was just something you liked to wear.

[am_i_a_monster]

It's to hide the scar from when my dad cut my throat.

maybe we should just shave our heads and call it a fresh start.

[am_i_a_monster]

And hope we don't all end up with really shiny heads.

[storyseeker]

Ugh. Good point. Okay, no head-shaving.

Whoever is responsible for this "event" is certainly unkind. (She too is being driven to sleepless nights by the reflections.) I do not feel myself if my appearance is untidy. It is embarrassing to ask for aid.

[am_i_a_monster]

Unkind is a nice way of putting it. You shouldn't be embarrassed. We're all being affected by this situation.

I am a lady. Servants will help me dress now and then, but that was different.

[am_i_a_monster]

There's a difference between asking someone to dress you and asking them if you look okay.

To leave my rooms in an unknown state makes me uncomfortable, I admit.

The best way to solve bedhead is with hats.

[Seriously, barely anyone wore hats around here! Raidou's from 1922, and it's just what you did then.]

You don't realize how many reflective surfaces are around you until something like this happens. These visions are hard to escape.

text;

[am_i_a_monster]

Then you'd get hat hair.

It's almost impossible. Even when I know I don't want to look, I feel like I want to look.

[the_fourteenth]

Hat hair is probably better than bed head, right?

Do you happen to know if what you saw was truthful? I won't ask to know what you saw specifically, but mine was what the future is like back home if I never get out of here. I can only hope it's nothing but more manipulation from the "gods" trying to stir us up.

[am_i_a_monster]

It wasn't the truth. It can't be. It won't happen.

[the_fourteenth]

I sure hope not. For both of our sakes.
