Welcome back! Are you sitting down? Because we’re about to bring Mirrors into these Christmas shenanigans, and you might want to be sitting for this.

( Details behind the cut, again! It got a little long. )

 [There is tinsel in Castiel's hair. 

It went something like this: In the process of trying to prevent the Apocalypse, find God, keep Dean Winchester safe, survive as well, and help find a way to kill the Devil, he's made the decision to forego walking (he's falling from Grace, not yet quite that handicapped, thank you very much, and fly into a building to follow a lead. 

It's turned out to be a bad decision since. Castiel can't pinpoint when his surroundings changed, maybe when he passed through the door of the old warehouse. Regardless he finds himself carried forward by his momentum. Pine needles try to scratch his face and his collision makes the ornaments jingle. 

In other news, there is tinsel in Castiel's hair, and he is not amused. This overly lavish decoration, this mockery of religion and custom, reeks of Gabriel, and the last thing he needs is one more angelic brother being a nuisance.

It's hours later when he has explored the Mansion, that he discovers the strange device in his pocket and fiddles with it. When the video starts (it takes some button pressing and is fairly accidental), the first thing the observant will note is an eye. It's rather big and rather blue, but Castiel soon pulls the device away from his face to frown at it. He does not have time for... whatever is going on.]

I wish to be released. If this is a ploy from you, Gabriel, it is not amusing. Someone put a device in my pocket. I don't... I don't understand what to do with this. 

[The video? It's upside down.]

Action

[Kurt's mirror leaves right away. Well, almost right away. He works up his nerve, leaves a terribly misspelled note for his girlfriend, works up his nerve some more, and then he crosses over, taking Kurt's place.

He moves quickly, ditching his hat and his tech vest in Kurt's room. He's got a button-down shirt and he made effort to wear nice...ish...pants (they're wrinkled but whatever). He runs his hand through his hair, hoping it makes it that weird kind of sticking-up that Kurt achieves with gels and things. If he's going to do this, he's going to have to do it fast and un-noticed. He can't really overpower anyone, so he's making sure he has the upperhand. His plan is to grab his Kurt's key and Santana's key real quick, before anyone realizes he's there stealing things.

He doesn't like that he has to do this. Really. But he's done with revolutions, and he done almost dying, and he's just done. He's gonna get a key for him and his girlfriend and just go. Hopefully he looks enough like Kurt from a far to pass.

Kurt's key is predictably in his stocking, and his mirror quickly pockets it. But when he reaches into Santana's nearby stocking...there's nothing.

It's empty.]

Shit!
