≛ （ ＶＩＤＥＯ ）
[ on what must be one of the first days of relative peace, a feed opens to present a newcomer. Leia is dressed as she normally would, all in white, collar high. The clothes she came with have been tossed away but there is nothing she can do about the ugly bruise on her neck, circular, red. it would turn to purple in a few days and is a dead giveaway for a collar of metal that bit into her skin until very recently.
her palms tell a story too, skin peeling at places, red and irritated from when she pulled on metal. However, it'd be difficult to pass her for the slave girl whose part she'd been forced to play. There's an air of authority to her even now.
Oh, and there's the blaster she tucks just beneath her belt, a touch of black on an otherwise white palette. ]
Well, this is rich.
[ biting with just a hint of sass but then, she seems to realize her message is finally being sent. ]
I see no practical reason for so much technology when we all live in the same cell.
[ this is what she calls this, a cell. A prison is a prison, vast as it may be. ]
But if you hear my message, know I mean you no harm. I understand I've come in a time of great peril [ somehow, she senses it in the very air around the halls ]. My own world is in great peril as well, it is urgent that they'll receive any help available if they're to see our mission done.
[ a beat. ]
We share the same predicament, I ask that we share information as well. If there is anything worth knowing about this system, I'd hear it and if any assistance is needed, I will supply.

Well, this prison's got a welcome brochure that should help cover the basics. I'm sending it over now.
[attached: welcome.pdf]
Time doesn't move on the outside while you're here, so your world's great peril won't get any worse. Small comfort, I know.
video;
[ but even though her tone is biting, she does take the time to carefully read the entire thing. it doesn't make a lick of sense but at least it's informative. ]
There's a queen. She's the one who's in charge of this prison? Does she keep us for the sake of these mirrors?
[ so many questions for someone who finds all of this odd. easily the weirdest kidnapping that ever befell her. ]
This piece of information on time, it's not on the welcome letter. How can you tell?
video;
As far as the time thing, well, the main reason is I was sent back at one point. You lose your memories when you go home, and I didn't so much as notice a ripple of discontinuity. Also a week passed here while months passed back home. It's got to be some fourth dimensional shit that's pretty far past my scientific capabilities.
[She offers a short nod.] Name's Georgia Mason. Any questions you have, I can try to answer, but there's a hell of a lot more we don't know than we do.
video;
[ doubt and much of it. no part of her believes in magic. Talk of the Force, that's one thing but - ]
I've yet to hear of anyone being kidnapped by magic. Has to be someone out there who controls it.
[ who wields it, to be precise. ]
It's a great power, what you're describing.
[ fetching and sending people, erasing and adding memories. ]
I'm Princess Leia, of Alderaan. How long have you trapped here?
video;
Still, it's enough of a cultural touchstone that she certainly knows who Princess Leia is, as well as some key plot points. Darth Vader's her father, she's kissed her brother, some old meme about sand and Obi-Wan not giving fucks.
Her expression doesn't really change under her sunglasses. If there's anything she's good at, it's being unreadable. She has no doubt Leia will get some uncomfortable nerd shrieking, but it won't be from George.]
Over half a year, now. And yes, magic. There likely is some sort of scientific explanation, but no one's found it yet. Believe me, I don't like it any more than you do. Magic's not a thing where I'm from outside of fiction.
video;
[ that's a lot of time to be held prisoner in a place with no apparent reasons and no demands. Leia has to appreciate her cool an collected take to this entire situation. People here don't seem prone to panic, it's a good sign. ]
Has the recent event been worse than the ones that came before? Many people have spoken of it.
[ though no one volunteered any details. ]
video;
The recent event wasn't exactly an event in the traditional sense. I wrote an article about it, actually.
[She sends over a link to the post in question.]
How much have you been told about Mirrors and how events usually work?
video;
[ she replies a little later, supposedly after she had finished reading the article itself. ]
I can see now that there is much I wasn't told. Are mirrors not supposed to cross to this side? is this why she sent others to stop them?
video;
They're not supposed to cross without the Queen's permission. When given the opportunity, they tend to... [her lips purse together in strict disapproval] make the most of the opportunity.
video;
[ it's not a plan in formation, she would need a few more days for that. it's simply going through the essentials, what she must know before she braves through this new world. ]
video;
But hurting them doesn't affect us, no. They're not actually connected to us. Just... copies.
[Copies that share some of their memories even though it never really happened. Well. That's a disquieting thought. Georgia shoves it away.]
video;
[ it's an eerie sort of situation, thinking that there is another her just behind those mirrors. a twin of a sort who must have forgotten who she is because leia organa would never accept this manner of discipline. ]
Is there any way to talk to them without crossing over?
video;
video;
[ it's convenient enough. she has to wonder why all these differences between the two worlds, however. and if the queen only rules the mirrors, then who were her subjects before the kidnappings began? ]
Do we know which one of us have been here longest?
video;
That would be Evelyn O'Connell. You can find her in the library.
