How's everyone enjoying another day of this fine incursion?

_{[Sarcasm: learn it, live it, love it.]}

I'm writing in regards to the Mirrors as if they're not already the hot topic issue around here, but don't worry, it's not another warning about a murder-happy lunatic on the loose. I'd like to ask for a favor. Or maybe more like a citizen's arrest? If you happen to see a blond man with a dead look in his eyes and a sun symbol stamped on his forehead, that would be mine. I've attached a handy picture for your reference.

Be a dear and kick him back to his side should you see him, all right? He probably won't run or do more than bore you to death, but if he's here that means I'm there, and my skills aren't much good on the other side of the glass.

Pretty please and thank you! :)

- Anders

Oh, does she have her own striking brand on her forehead that makes her stick out like a sore thumb, too?

_{[That would be unfortunate. People will start to wonder if people from their world have some fetish for facial markings. No offense to the Dalish, of course.]}

Do you have a reason for concern? Other than that she's a Mirror, that is. Has she crossed to this side before?

[heroica]

She failed her Joining and is dying of the taint. [ Robyn states simply, but there's something detached in her voice, as if she's trying not to think about it too hard. ] And yes, she's been here before. She... seems to like the chapel.

[ Of course, she isn't sure what her double did on this side, since the real Robyn had been swapped out to their grayscale world. ]

She hates me and all Grey Wardens, so I was worried she may give you and Nathaniel trouble.

<sub>[Oh...

Of all the potentially horrible outcomes available to Mirrors, that's one Anders hadn't considered and he's silent a moment, processing. Fortunate this is only voice and not also video or Robyn would be treated to the sight of a frown.]</sub>

Lovely.

_{[In that "open sores and pustules" kind of way. Worse than a brand, really; Mirror Robyn has his condolences on more than one level.]}

I'd definitely have remembered seeing her if that's the case. I can see why the surviving Wardens would be thorns in her side. But that means she should be... easier to track. In her condition.

_{[An attempt at delicately saying that without darkspawn or other Wardens around to confuse their senses, a taint-riddled Mirror will light up their nerves like a beacon should she come near.]}

[heroica]

Isn't it? [ No, she has no desire to see or interact with her own, bitter copy. Imagining it and hearing about it are bad enough. ] I'm glad that you haven't seen her, though.

[ The real Robyn won't be trying to track her Mirror any time soon... ]

And I apologize in advance if you ever do.

[circlejerked]

If she's dangerous-- _{[Or mad. But madness breeds dangerousness just the same.]} --then better it be another Warden that deals with her.

_{[A failed life as a Warden warms the heart about as much as a failed life as a Circle mage, but it's not Robyn's fault. She hadn't had a say in her Mirror any more than he did.]}

I'll keep an eye out. Should she make her way over, you have my word I'll switch you back.

[heroica]

I don't know what she plans, but - yes, please send her back, if you can. Or call me and avoid her altogether.

[ Anders shouldn't put himself at risk just to grapple with Robyn's own, possibly-dangerous Mirror. ]
