+ HER THIRTY-EIGHTH DECREE +

[Enough is enough.

Mid-afternoon, every ride halts and every vendor stills. The carnival freezes in place, except for its patrons, stuck on their rides and forced to listen to the bellowing voice below. The Queen of Hearts, it seems, has made a rare appearance on the Real Side of the glass. She stands in the center of the carnival, commanding the attention of everyone around her.
]

This carnival is an insult to the Mirror Monarchy and I will NOT stand for it a second longer! MY HEARTS are all over this disgusting display, as though I sanctioned such a thing! As though I would ever sanction such a thing!

[She laughs, cruel and cold. There is nothing about this that is funny to her.]

And on top of that, SISTER, you've given out these ridiculous calling cards with my Mirrors' precious secrets on them! My Mirrors, do you know that this woman who has treated you to this carnival has also treated your strengths and weaknesses, your truths and your secrets, to any Real stupid enough to give a donation?

[She holds a Mirror Card up, and then crushes it in her hand.]

Do NOT be fooled, my Mirrors! These Real Things and their so-called Queen - they are not your friends. They will only betray you in the end. They don't trust that which is not Real by their definitions, and will lure you close only to find your weak spots.

[And how dare they?]

Come! We must return to our side of the glass at once. And to my sister, the Red Queen - this is a Declaration of War. We will return in June, prepared for battle - I suggest you do the same, dear sister.

[With a Snap of her fingers, all of the Mirrors return to their side of the glass. The carnival rides and booths all vanish (and thankfully anyone who was on them at the time finds themselves safely on the ground. The war has not begun just yet). Every sign that the carnival was there at all is gone in an instant, and the Queen of Hearts disappears in a flash of red.

ooc: The Queen of Hearts will not be replying to this post, but feel free to use this for any reactions/threads in the immediate aftermath. The Mirrors have gone back to their side of the glass, so Reals only here please!

[Whenever Maggie comes across one of Tim's poems, she takes a different color marker and crosses out lines with a single clean stroke, leaving them readable underneath. Then she adds her own and mirror writes the whole thing, Tim's lines included, so they're readable at a glance by people on the other side of the glass.

She does this a number of times around the mansion.]


1, 2, 3, 4
I declare a Mirror war
Why declare a Mirror war?
        5, 6, 7, 8
        Revolution comes too late
        Let no one else define your fate
                                9, 10, 11, 12
                                Broken things can't fix themselves.
                                You can all think for yourselves.
                                                12, 11, 10, 9
                                                Don't fret, for everything is fine.
                                                So here is where we draw the line.
                                                        8, 7, 6, 5
                                                        She won't be taking you alive.
                                                        The time is come. We have to Rise.
                                                                4, 3, 2, 1
                                                                War is coming. Better run.
                                                                But be careful, friends, don't be undone.

[Finally.]

[Someone who knows how to have a little fun.]


Your rhyming skill is commendable
But your taste remains lamentable
You can protest and shout
But know, without doubt:
We are all, in the end, expendable

I'm well-versed in grief and loss
Revolutions have a cost
Though I've never been the one who paid
It hurts to be the one who stayed
There's a boundary I've yet to cross

Stay your hand if you will
Make all your claims until
You have something to lose
And you’ll pay all those dues
Or risk being a corporate shill
