Mathias quickly started scrambling their mess up. There were loose papers, sunscreen, loose change, a little pocket mirror, and much more junk. They weren’t surprised this happened to them, but it still sucked.

As Mathias was picking up items they heard the other offer to help. They looked up and sheepishly smiled. “Thanks..Well I was planning to get a new backpack but not so soon.” Mathias slightly laughed to himself and scratched the back of his head. This sucked.

Backpacks were clearly the superior bag. You could carry anything in them not to mention the large quantities of items you could carry in them. Backpacks could do anything, at least Mathias thought so. The blue backpack placed on their back had been with them since the very beginning, it has probably been through more stuff than Mathias could ever dream of.

So as the sun shined and the birds flew about Mathias grabbed that backpack, obviously packing everything they could need in it first, and headed out into the world.

As Mathias strolled along the twisting streets of Swynlake they felt more at home than they ever did in this town. It was actually nice, sure they would probably get so terribly lost that they’d freak out, but it was worth it. It was a great day, and gosh darn it they needed to get some sunshine!

The town was active as well, bustling of people walking to and fro. Entering stores or exiting restaurants with small doggy bags, which almost made them consider going to get some lunch. Well that was until Mathias heard an odd sounding rip. Then the multiple thuds that followed along with the sudden loss of weight against their back confirmed their theory.

Mathias stood frozen for a moment. Then slowly turned around and looked down at the ground. All of the things they had in their bag was now scattered about the cobble path. While their backpack had a huge gaping hole in it. Mathias stared at the pile for a minute

“Ain’t that just the way”

Ken was more of a messenger bag kind of guy, himself. He had tried doing that Straight Guy thing of putting everything in your pockets and making jingling noises as you walked, but he wasn’t big on it. So, messenger bag, the occasional satchel; admittedly, he didn’t have too much stuff to cart around with him.

He also didn’t tend to clean out the bag. Every so often he would hold it over a trash can and shake it out, dust out the inside, but there was currently a layer of receipts and things he had hahasardly thrown into the bottom of the bag, either because he was too lazy to properly throw it away or he thought he might need it in the near future. It was a black hole of random crap - stick your hind in and you could grab just about anything.

So when he was walking along the street, headphones in blasting his latest favourite song, and someone’s bag gave way and spilled its guts into the street, Ken stopped. He might have something for that, maybe. He could at least help them pick their stuff up, at least.

Tucking one headphone into the neck of his shirt, he looked from the mess, to the stranger, and back again. “Well that’s shit luck,” He murmured, more to himself than to anyone else. “Here, let me help.”

the-little-prophet:

This is not the Grocery Store // Mirror and Chicken

Let’s take a moment to zoom out on this situation:

You had Charlie, who was about 5 foot 6 or nearly 170 centimeters, and, er, maybe 60 stone soaking wet. That rock lamp of his was a chunky, heavy piece of weaponry– definitely good for bludgeoning a zombie or two. Charlie would be lying to himself if he hadn’t looked at the rock lamp online, read about all its purported medicinal and mystical properties, and thought to himself, huh, you could really smash in a zombie head or two with that. (Practical– Charlie was always practical.)

Then you had this strange…boy/possible demon/possible apparition. He looked ghost-like to Charlie. He had inches and inches on him, probably over six feet. And he was skinny but probably still had a couple stone on Charlie too. And while zombies were clumsy and slow, this guy looked like he knew how to duck and cover from the dangers of a rock lamp.

So: yes, Charlie was at a severe disadvantage. He didn’t feel very threatening either, admittedly. If the bloke lurched at Charlie, odds were he screamed and dropped the lamp instead of taking that first swing.

Despite that, the boy was intimidated. He flailed his hands out, gestured toward the mirror…

“Wait…” uttered Charlie. “W-wait, you’re– are you sayin’ you came through the…the mirror?” The lamp in his hand slumped a little with his shoulders.

Mathias was pretty tall. Exactly six feet one and a half inches tall. But their height did not mean they were tough. Sure they could dodge but to be honest they were quite clumsy and their height did not help that fact. But hey at least Mathias’s height was kinda intimidating..?

Mathias froze for a second. Why did they let that slip? That was so dumb. Why did they do that? “Uhhh...” Mathias had no idea what to do.

“No...? What? that’s crazy. It’s not like I can walk through mirrors into an entirely different dimension. That’s weird” Mathias could feel themselves getting red and their hands were getting clammy. Mathias knew they were bad at lying and at the moment they hated that fact. Mathias let out a sheepish smile not really knowing what to do. Maybe this kid didn’t hate magic and they would be able to get out of this situation..? But what if this boy did?! Or told some magick hunters?! What then?! Mathias was very stressed.

“Yea I’m pretty sure mirror walkers aren’t real. That’s crazy...” Oh god Mathias was so bad at this and it was just getting worse and worse.

Sidenote who was this kid?! He was super short and obviously just as spooked as Mathias ((then again who wouldn’t be spooked when someone magically appears in your room)) and he clearly was not ready for this ordeal. Mathias was new to Swynlake so that did not help at all. They knew pretty much no one.

Mathias noticed the sass but quickly ignored it. Sassing back would just make things worse plus Mathias wasn’t really someone to send attitude back or have an attitude at all.

“Good point. Well hey at least we don’t feel stupid alone..???” Mathias was finding it very very hard to look on the bright side. This was very annoyed and usually Mathias didn’t get annoyed they were usually a very calm person. But at the moment they were slightly annoyed.

Mathias listened to the other and slightly nodded.

“That makes sense and people that have lived here long enough seem to understand what’s happening so there’s no way that the streets totally change because if they did everyone would be confused. And that would be very dumb.”

Mathias half smiled at the man’s comment about Mordor

“Ha. Yea but instead of a ring I have a grocery list.” Mathias then followed the other in the direction that hopefully lead to the grocery store.

Moving Streets// Mirrors and Alchemy

magic-mirror-on-the-wall:

Mathias looked at the other with a very very confused expression. The streets were moving…? That made no sense. How could the streets which are permanently on the ground unmoving able to change? Then again Mathias knew they shouldn’t entirely be questioning this. They could walk through mirrors.

“Wait so they actually change…? How is that even possible?!” Mathias was very confused by this whole magic town thing, but hey at least this other guy was too. Mathias was happy they weren’t alone in this quest for a grocery store but then again they both were lost, so it wasn’t really a win.

“Well hey a map is better than nothing I guess..? If the streets move and are confusing does the map even work though..? Gosh I just have to get some milk I didn’t think that this would become a journey from a J. R. R. Tolkien novel.”

“If the map worked even though the streets move, would I be as lost as you are?” Varian deadpanned, looking up from the screen at the other boy in front of him. This whole ‘magic streets’ bullshit was making him feel really really stupid, and that feeling had carried over into his mood.

That didn’t excuse his attitude, but it motivated it.

“I figure that whatever’s going on, the streets can’t deviate too far from their original path, right? So in theory, even if things don’t match up exactly the layout on the map should give us some sort of insight as to where things ought to be.”

He looked down at his phone and then back up at the road sign before hesitantly taking a couple steps down the road he had been going down to begin with.

“Right then, Mordor awaits.”

Mathias froze. Why did they put themselves into this situation?! Stupid stupid stupid. This boy wasn’t that threatening. He was stuttering for crying out loud...But he had a rock thing. With a good ol swing Mathias knew they would be down for the count. Of course they didn't have anything to defend themselves with. So Mathias just had to play around and try their best to dance around the questions without getting the other mad.

“Okay okay I won’t move. I’ll just stand here...unmoving...yup..” When the boy questioned how Mathias got into the room they didn’t know what to do. They knew they couldn’t just explain it heck they didn’t even know this guys name...Why did this have to happen? Why couldn’t it have been the grocery store’s mirror?!

“Oh well.... uh you see I was ya know walkin around and then...I went through this thing..? And I’m here... It was by accident I thought it was the grocery store mir-thing..? Yeah!” Smooth.

This is not the Grocery Store // Mirror and Chicken

As the boy started to threaten them with the weird rock lamp thing Mathias almost laughed. This was a terrible situation but it was also pretty funny. Like first they held back errands, then they went through the wrong mirror, and now they are being threatened by a shortish boy with a weird stone lamp thing.

Besides the odd and slightly funny circumstance Mathias knew taking the mirrors were a bad idea and that they shouldn’t have done that in the first place. So Now they were in this situation and knowing how people are, this wouldn’t be an easy situation to navigate.

“Woah there I’m not here to hurt you I just got lost and ended up here..? ” Oh gosh that sounded bad. Mathias had no idea how he was going to get around this. “Just put down the rock lamp salt thing. I’m not going to hurt you..” Mathias slowly raised their hands up showing that they weren’t armed and that they weren’t a threat. “So yeah just imagine I was never here and I’m going to go back to where I came from and yeah. Cool? Cool” As Mathias talked they slowly started to step back towards the mirror.

Got lost and ended up here…

Charlie clutched the rock salt lamp even harder. Because Charlie didn’t know what that meant. He didn’t know what kind of creature was before him, if he was real or if he was a figment of Charlie’s damaged imagination, or if he was Charlie’s own consciousness materializing to deliver some kind of lesson, message, or warning. Or maybe all three.

Since Bill Cipher broke out and, er, broke reality, Charlie didn’t know what to think about reality at all.

So where was here? And where had he come from? And why was the strange apparition/demon/warning/insert-other-options-here backing up toward Charlie’s bedroom mirror?

“N-no! Stop– do-don’t move!” Charlie stuttered. He extended the rock salt lamp, as if he were prepared to brandish it like a sword. “I w-will throw this! How’d you get in here?”

Moving Streets// Mirrors and Alchemy

Mathias liked Swynlake. The citizens they had met were nice and the overall vibe of the town was rather positive. The one thing they didn’t like about the town was the streets. It was weird, but it felt like the streets changed? Mathias did not understand it in the slightest. They did know that Swynlake was a magic friendly town so maybe that had some part in it?

Even though the streets were confusing it wasn’t as bad as the mirror dimension. In the mirror dimension everything looked the same. It was calming but also terrible. Also no one could help Mathias with directions in the mirror dimensions. They were alone.

It was a pretty nice day. Only a few clouds in the sky and it was much better compared to the rain the town usually got. So Mathias decided to seize the moment and go to the store. They only needed to pick up a couple of things and they already knew going through the mirrors was not going to happen. ((Last time they tried going through the mirrors they almost got attacked by a boy with a salt lamp.)) So that meant they had to take the streets. So they grabbed their backpack and wallet and headed out to the store.

At first Mathias knew where they was going…After a little bit they weren’t to sure. They were taking lefts when it should have been a right and they were just getting more and more confused. As Mathias walked around they saw a man a little ways away. Maybe he could give them directions…? It was worth a shot. So Mathias picked up the pace and sped walked to the other

“Hey! Uh do you know how to get to the nearest grocery store? I’m a little lost. It kinda feels like the streets change every time I’m trying to find something haha” Mathias sheepishly smiled and adjusted their backpack straps as they talked.

Disney Appreciation

God, Disney animation is amazing and gorgeous. And even the CGI stuff is so beautiful. The movies are such a large part of my childhood and inspired me to really love animation.

Watching Disney just makes me happy.

Moving streets// Mirrors and Alchemy

Mathias liked Swynlake. So far the citizens that lived here seemed pretty nice and the overall vibe of the town was rather positive. But there was one single thing they didn’t quite get yet. The streets. Every time they went out to go to a store or restaurant it was almost like a maze. It felt like the streets changed each day.

Sure Mathias could always travel through the mirrors. But that was much more difficult. The streets were hard to navigate but the mirrors were much worse. At least out on the streets they could ask for directions. In the mirror dimension Mathias was alone.

It was a pretty nice day. There were some clouds in the sky but other than that there was nothing wrong with the weather. Perfect day to go out to get some errands done. Last time they tried to get errands done they traveled through the mirrors and it went very very badly....So this time Mathias was going to just walk.

the-little-prophet:

This is not the Grocery Store // Mirror and Chicken

Charlie had about an hour and a half to squeeze in what he hoped would be a stress-free, vision-free, solid one cycle of REM before he had to drag himself out of bed to grab dinner-on-the-go and be at the hospital by 18:00.

This was just enough time to reap the necessities of sleep without falling deep enough that he might actually have a vision. It was, like, a 90-minute shot of sleep. An energy bar. A pump of caffeine injected behind his eyelids, with no side effects!

This was the hope at least, and Charlie was planning to take short naps for the rest of his life so he would never have to dream again. This would be a period of intense experimentation, of course, as he narrowed down the 90 minutes into smaller chunks if this inevitably did not have the desired effect. But Charlie was choosing to be optimistic: he was capable of ninety minutes of uninterrupted, clear-skied, counting-sheep sleep.

He made all the necessary arrangements. He set the alarm, turned off the overhead lights, turned on the comforting pink glow from his Himalayan Salt Lamp, lit a stick of incense that smelled of smoky lavendar, and in the t minus ten minutes that he needed to be in his bed, Charlie sat criss-cross on his floor, in his pajamas, practicing his breathing techniques. In… out. In…out. In…

Creak.

Charlie’s entire body tensed like someone had jabbed him with an electric taser. His eyes snapped open and he was staring at someone’s shins. Someone’s shins, someone’s legs, someone. Someone was in his room?!

Oh bloody hell, had he passed out trying to meditate and now he was already dreaming, what the fu–

Charlie scrambled up, his socked heels sliding on the wood floor until he bumped into his own dresser. He squeaked, the stranger turned around–

“Don’t hurt me!” Charlie blurted right away, and he snatched the salt lamp off the dresser, nearly– but not quite– unplugging it as he clutched it in front of his chest. “I– I have a– a salt lamp, an-and I’m not afraid to use it!”

As the boy started to threaten them with the weird rock lamp thing Mathias almost laughed. This was a terrible situation but it was also pretty funny. Like first they held back errands, then they went through the wrong mirror, and now they are being threatened by a shortish boy with a weird stone lamp thing.

Cool? Cool” As Mathias talked they slowly started to step back towards the mirror.

It doesn’t take but one look up to know how hard it is to reach the stars And I've felt my share of loneliness, still feel it now from time to time I try to get some rest, these issues tend to fade with morning light But even if my darkness has decided where it stays I suppose that I will close my eyes and try to find another way Is it love that keeps me planted here or the fear of something new Won't come along if I leave either way I don’t know what to do I’ve tried my best to figure out those pieces that I lack Now I feel all that I’ve lost pulling me back Oh yes, I feel all that I’ve lost pulling me back

Job hunting // Belle and Mathias

Going to Swynlake had to be the best thing Mathias has ever done. They were free from their mother and they were able to live their own life for once. But one of the downsides with being alone was money. Sure they ran away with enough to get them through a couple of months but they knew they needed to find some type of work before those couple of months ended. So that meant job hunting.

Job hunting was difficult it didn’t help that Mathias barely knew any of the streets or locations yet. They had seen some signs up at a bar or two, but they knew they definitely didn’t want to work there. It wasn’t their cup of tea, quite literally they didn’t drink. As they walked around they started to lose hope until they came to a little store.

“Chapter Three.. Huh” Mathias talked to themselves as they read the sign that hung above the store. There was another sign in the window that read Now Hiring. Mathias loved to read so maybe this would be a good place to work. They slowly opened the door and looked around the store. There were books everywhere and they almost didn’t see the lady standing to the side putting books on top of a shelf.

“Excuse me..? I saw your sign outside of the shop and I was hoping to maybe get an application or interview?”

This is not the Grocery Store // Mirror and Chicken

Mathias usually does their shopping in the morning. It’s early enough where there’s no crowd and it leaves the rest of the day open for other things. When Mathias woke up to go to the store they quickly saw how gloomy it was outside. It was raining and humid outside causing it to be mucky and kinda gross. Mathias obviously didn’t want to walk around in that so they decided to wait till the weather cleared up.

Mathias waited and waited until it was about 4 pm. When they looked outside it was the same gross weather. They knew they couldn’t push back the shopping till tomorrow. They had already done that and their fridge was pretty much empty. Mathias didn’t know what to do until their eyes fell onto the mirror that sat in their apartment. They knew this was a bad idea. It was already confusing enough finding your way around this town, but the mirror dimension was nearly impossible. But they really needed to go to the store. Mathias decided that one way or another they needed to learn their way around the mirror dimension so they might as well start learning.

The first thing Mathias did was they grabbed a spool of yarn and tied the loose end to an arm of chair and kept a hold of the bundle. They always did this so they would always know how to get back home. The next thing Mathias did was grab their backpack, wallet, and grocery list. They then stepped in front of the mirror with their arms crossed. “Okay...I got this...” With that Mathias took a step through the mirror and entered the mirror dimension.

The mirror dimension was like a Carnival’s maze of mirrors but much more confusing and it never ended. Everywhere you looked there were mirrors of different sizes and shapes. It was actually somewhat pretty...and a little eery. The mirror dimension was colorless except for some of the frames of the mirrors. As Mathias walked around he came to a simple plain square mirror. Mathias had learned many restaurants and stores had these plain and simple mirrors. So they crossed their fingers and stepped through the mirror.

When Mathias entered the location on the other side of the mirror they quickly realized that they were in a bedroom not a bathroom of a store. Mathias slowly looked around “This is not the grocery store...” As Mathias talked they heard a creek of a floor board and slowly turned around face to face with a scared and confused boy that looked about the same age as them.
