+ Come together! Right now! And overthrow the Queen! +
"Man, is all this talk about a Mirror uprising actually going to get anywhere?"
Yes, dear RPers. It is. Right now. ♥
Our favorite new Rabbit just made a post, inviting Real Things to join him on a trip through the Rabbit Hole so that they can help the Mirrors overthrow the Queen. However there will need to be some co-ordination.
This is not an event where Mirrors and Real Things can be on the same side at once. This means that any Real Thing who chooses to go through the Rabbit Hole will be swapped with their Mirror. Only one version of each character is allowed on each side of the glass at a time. There will need to be some organization of who goes and tries to capture/get rid of the Queen, and who stays on Real Side. Keep in mind that there will be important things to do on Real Side too. There will probably be characters who opt to go through the Rabbit Hole whose Mirrors are not really fond of this whole revolution thing. Those Mirrors will get stuck on Real Side, but it’s a lot easier for them to escape - they can go through the mirrors as they please. Or they might just, you know, wreak havoc so more people don’t decide to go through the Rabbit Hole. You might want some people on Real Side trying to keep things under control.
(On both a semi-related and unrelated note, the FAQ has been updated and Kristen made it a lot prettier, so a lot of the Mirror physics stuff can be found there, but we’ll be happy to answer anything if needed!)
If your character is on Mirror Side you post in the Mirror Community. If your character is on Real Side they post in the Real Character’s Journal. Just mark it clearly somehow that it’s their Mirror making the post and you’ll be fine. From there you can comment with whatever journal you want. If you haven’t added the Mirror Community journal, don’t worry - just join and someone will approve you ASAP.
Is there a plan though? …Sort of? We’re not silly enough to think that we’ll be able to organize everyone into one group and plan one plan of attack - it’s more likely going to be a bunch of smaller groups with their own strategies. There are two important points though:
1) All of this swapping should be a good distraction that wouldn’t normally go unnoticed. Crossing is usually something the Queen monitors carefully, so it should certainly get her attention. In other words, once the Real Things cross, there’s no real way to hide what’s going on from the Queen. The Revolution begins now. Of course, there are other ways to distract the Queen and lure her out too - like blowing things up, making a scene, etc etc.
2) In other to overthrow her, you’ll need to find her. For reasons unknown, the Queen will not be in her quarters, and there will be a post up soon illustrating this. Every so often, on both Mirror Side and Real Side, one might catch a glimpse of red - just a blur out of the corner of their eye. In addition to dealing with finding the Queen, everyone will have to deal with anyone who is opposed to the revolution, or any fence-sitters who decide they don’t want anyone finding her.
Finally, a note about death. Death rules have more to do with where you are than what you are. Anyone who dies on Real Side is treated with the five deaths rule (and will revive accordingly), and anyone who dies on Mirror Side is treated as though it’s death #5. They won’t revive during the event if they are on Mirror Side. However, they will come back at the end for reasons we can’t talk about, so feel free to get as brutal as you want on Mirror Side this time!
As usual, there will be a Q&A thread, and this post will be treated as a plot post, for anyone who isn’t sure where their characters will be or what they’ll be up to. Have fun, and watch out early next week (Sunday/Monday) for what happens next!
