[ HELLO WONDERLAND it's your favorite grumpy murder grandpa. What's up.

Joel had been truly shaken when he'd found Ellie alone in the woods, hiding away from the world and with a broken arm she'd been too scared to even go and get treated properly. When she'd finally told him an abbreviated version of what had happened, he'd gone from feeling shaken to feeling sick.

He'd done his own research first, to no avail. At a loss and unable to make further progress on his own, he's finally caved to his last resort - asking the other residents for help. ]

How d'ya kill your mirror.

[ And don't tell him it's not possible. ]

[So maybe Tim kinda wants to know the same thing. Theoretically.]

you have to end up on the same side as them first.
haven't seen that happen since september.

text

[shivving]

but it has happened.

could happen again.

text

[postictal]

no way to know when but i'd say yeah it's possible.
gotta be something big happening though.

text

[shivving]

something big like what?

text

[postictal]

last time it happened there was this huge party thing happening.
it was when i first showed up so i didn't really know the occasion.

but there were two mansions and everything.

text

[shivving]

like the sides merged?

text

[postictal]

i don't know.
it was more like there weren't any sides at all.
people just crossed through whenever.

text

[shivving]

huh.

how long'd it last?

text

[postictal]

something like ten days.
a lot of people died i guess.

text

[shivving]

jesus christ

don't seem like it changed much, anyhow

text

[postictal]

mirrors might not have been the only reason but they sure didn't help

text

[shivving]

[ Joel snorts. ]

don't have to tell me that

text

[postictal]

i'd ask why you want to kill yours but i think i can guess

text

[shivving]

[ Good, because he doesn't want to talk about it. ]

yeah, you probably can.

text

[postictal]

good luck.

[He means it. Mirrors are dicks.]

though i hear you're gonna wanna be careful
not sure what killing a mirror might do to you

text

[shivving]

what do you mean?

text

[postictal]

i dunno how it works on the other side.
if the queen brings them back like we get brought back over here.

text

[shivving]

you mean they might not take too kindly to being killed.

text

[postictal]

what if you end up dead on the mirror side?

text

[shivving]

[ Point taken. ]

guess i better not let that happen.

text

[postictal]

yeah.
so i guess be careful.

text

[shivving]

right.
