"I'm startin' with the man in the mirror!"

::Erin does her best Michael Jackson while waiting for Aniya, who does, indeed, eventually, comma, appear. The little cartoonish guide grins at her new visitor.::

"'lo, Aniya. I'm in a talking mood so we're gonna skip all the 'who am I/where am I/what am I' bits and go straight to the good stuff. Watch this."

::She points at a mirror on the wall and walks over to it. She turns and smiles at Aniya, then shoves her hand into the mirror. It looks strange as her reflection is still there, but her hand has disappeared up to the wrist.::

"Hm? See that?"

::She then continues and literally climbs into the mirror. She gets up on the other side and turns around to face Aniya, grinning.::

"Hi!"

::It looks like a portrait until Erin walks away and over to Aniya's own reflection in the mirror. They're standing beside each other now, but only in the reflection. She then walks back over to the 'portal' and climbs back out. And falls on the ground in the real world.::

"Little hard on the dismount..."

::Getting up, the guide brushes out her hair with her fingers.::

"Pretty cool, huh? And once you master just doing that, it's gonna expand soooo much."

(If you're good.)

::Aniya brushes the "dirt" off of her clothes from her own bumpy arrival with a frown upon her face, groaning some in the process. She is about to ask where the hell she is when she suddenly finds herself captivated by Erin's demonstration, her eyes lighting up as the guide's whole body is absorbed into the mirror, actually becoming her own reflection. Aniya lifts her eyebrows and studies the strange cartoon figure as she falls out of the mirror, millions of questions running through her head. She folds her arms across her chest and licks her lips.::

(That could be pretty useful if...)

"So I can do that... become my own reflection. Can I effect someone by touching their reflection?"

(If I can't, the only thing I can really do right now is run and hid in a mirror. How lame.)

::So ungrateful, isn't she?::

"Sadly, not yet. All you can do, at present, is run and hide in a mirror. YEY!!!!"

::Erin actually seems pretty enthused about the whole thing. Then again, she thinks the power is wicked awesome.::

"You know what you should do? You should get yourself an avatar. That's what."

::Aniya looks at Erin with a not-so-enthused expression, but inside she's pretty excited. She glances around the misty realm all wide-eyed, mostly because she always thought magic was just in fairy-tale stories or those cool shows on Sci-Fi or something, and then all of a sudden... BAM! It's real.::

"So now what?"

"Do you have any questions?"

::Erin cocks her head at Aniya in an almost-creepy fashion. Then blinks and straightens up.::

"Other than the one you just asked, that is."

::Aniya blinks back at Erin, not liking the way she's looking at her all weird like that.::

(Yes, do you have a problem? Weirdo.)

"Uh, are there other people like me?"

"Maybe! The fact is that you're not really going to remember much of this meeting with me at all; you'll just have a vague recollection of some chick called Erin who you know you can come to if you ever need to take a break. Or for 'guidance'."

(Whatever that is!)

::Erin beams at the girl.::

"So really there's no point to the questions. So there. Now that I've wasted both of our time, I'll show you the door. That door."

::She points at a door, which has just suddenly appeared. Another one will appear when Erin makes reference to it.::

"If you walk through that, you'll appear in the landlord's office of CW apartments, which is where I recommend you get an apartment to live in. However, if you go through that door it'll take you to the landlord's office in CW apartments."

(Bet she won't notice they're both going to the same place!)

::Actually, she does notice, and before she turns to go through one of the portals, Aniya gazes at her strange guide with an annoyed expression. Her nose even crinkles and her eyebrows become all scrunched together.::

"Whatever. Thanks, I guess."

::And with that, Aniya places a foot into the spiraling hole and is immediately sucked ino it. CW Apartments it is.::
