but when I took down my defenses

WHO: 8-year-old zombie MIRROR MASTER and YOU
WHERE: In ur reflections!!
WHEN: Wednesday (morning, at midnight) through Saturday
WARNINGS: Doubtful, but will edit as necessary
SUMMARY: You know how Evan has no tact and bounces around reflections with no respect to privacy or boundaries? Well at least as a child he's more polite about it. And maybe not as obnoxious to talk to.
FORMAT: Whatever!


He barely slept, anymore. He hadn't felt much need to since "the accident" just like he hadn't felt the need to eat much, but sometimes boredom won out over necessity and he settled in for a nap anyway. It did get boring, staying only in the mirror even if he could still look out it the same as always, or send clones out -- the clones had seemed off, sure, but they functioned. Too bad they couldn't drink beer for him.

But then he woke up, and everything was different.

He didn't know where he was. He definitely wasn't in Miss McCulloch's orphanage, or even Scotland, but rather some kind of abstract dark corridor with millions of windows dotting the endless abyss around him. He was cold, his skin slimy and pale like marble. He stood, slowly, and began skulking down the corridor, looking through the windows for someone that might help him. He was breathing hard, but not panicking, not crying. He just shivered, and knocked on the glass now and then, warily, when he thought he saw someone. (Sometimes he didn't even knock. He just looked out, in confusion or envy or curiosity.)

"Hullo?"

Her gaze drifted to Evan and she immediately let out a yell, nearly falling from her perch in the process.

"God dammit! People in my damn mirror is so not cool!" Same old Kenzi, just smaller.
faeless: (☠ I keep looking each direction)

"Wait? ...Your that mirror dude from before. But you don't...remember." Was this one of those weird things the 'porter did that so many people talked about? Or was it something else? She had no way of knowing and quite honestly she didn't feel too much like thinking about it.

"Erm well...uh..." She wasn't sure what to say. At least he wasn't demanding food this time. But it still wasn't any less weird.
faeless: (☠ What sort of mess I mean)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
She shook her head. "I met an older you. I guess. This is all reeeeeally weird."

Kenzi frowned at him before turning back to her own reflection. "Dude, this better not last. I don't wanna go through my teenage years ago."
faeless: (☠ There's quiet in the streets now)

"Wouldn't say we know each other. Just older you did this not too long ago." She gestured to the mirror to indicate the whole popping up uninvited.

"Er well, if y'don't remember anything..." She sighed, why does she have to do this. She doesn't really like kids and here she is having to talk to one. On top of it all she's a kid again too. "We're on alternate version of Earth in a city that's supposed to be New York only it's just called the City. And believe me or not it's the truth."
faeless: (☠ So long and goodnight)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup."

To the last bit she nods with a sober expression on her face. "One hundred percent serious. And it pretty much is like livin' in a comic. I mean, you ain't supposed to look like that. And I'm not supposed to look like this." God, the blonde hair again. She has to wonder if she can get her hands on some dye.
faeless: (☠ I'm still a rock star)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Kenzi's natural response was the scrunch up her face and flip him the bird. "Yeah comics are the best!" She switched to a smile quickly enough.

"Dunno that. Really hoping it don't last. I don't wanna have to grow up all over again. It sucks." She can't buy booze like this!
faeless: (☠ You make me smile)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Not always. Usually things are pretty normal. This is so far from normal."

She scrunched up her face again. "Being an adult is okay. I mean it's reeeeally boring at times. But it's got perks. Y'can buy booze!" She grinned and let out a laugh. Sadly that was the only perk she could think of at the moment. Aside from the raunchier stuff but he didn't have his adult memories so that was a subject that wasn't getting touched.

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Kenzi gave him a curious look. "Dwalm? The hell's that?"

"I guess kickin' ass is fun. I think if that's all your doin' it would get pretty boring fast."
faeless: (☠ It's time to make a start)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Daydreams." She repeated it in Russian, a habit she had at this age that apparently had returned.

She scrunched up her face again and shook her head. "If that's what ya wanna do."
faeless: (☠ I keep looking each direction)

"Well when you're an adult you gotta have a job. And deal with stupid people. And a bunch of other really boring shit. It's all complicated and stupid." The more she thought about it maybe it wouldn't be so bad being a kid again. She could use it to her advantage against adults.
faeless: (☠ Swear to shake it up)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
"S'ok. I'm not all that great at a lotta stuff either. Even as an adult." She grinned.

"By the way, I'm Kenzi."
faeless: (☠ What sort of mess I mean)

[personal profile] faeless 2012-10-03 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
She shrugged. "Dunno. Depends on what caused this and if it can be reversed. We're not s'posed to be kids but we suddenly are."
