Wow. That's actually rather cool.

[whatweoncewere]

.... Cool? But... I can't see myself. That can't be good. Can it?

[thegooddrjones]

Nah, man - I can see you!

There's some real freaky shit going on in this place...

[whatweoncewere]

It's okay. I'm a magician. It's a trick mirror.

Now I just need to figure out how it works...

[rayney_day]

A trick mirror... Hmm. Maybe.

I feel weirdly angry hearing about it, whatever it is.

[whatweoncewere]

Maybe... maybe you haven't figured out how to do it and I won't tell you the secret.
