[You know what this event could use more of? Mirrors making trouble. Now, granted, causing trouble isn't usually Mirror James' thing, but this is a special occasion.

Granted, his brand of trouble is a little more quiet and subtle than his Real Thing's is. Of course, that doesn't make his methods ineffective. He's been creeping around the mansion, watching for more rebellious types, and looking for ways to incapacitate them before they can get to the Rabbit Hole. He's made himself inconspicuous all day, and he's made sure there is always a mirror nearby, so that in an emergency he can return to his side of the glass and swap places with the real James. He's considered swapping sooner, but he thinks it might be worthwhile to have someone on the Real Side to deter resistance efforts.

Which is why, at the moment, he is lurking near the front door, waiting. If they don't make it outside, then they won't be able to go to the Rabbit hole, will they? So he stands nearby with his wand, like a snake in tall grass waiting to strike.

Droog has no real reason to be for or against the rebel mirrors. However, he believes in making trouble for royalty on principle.

So here he is heading out the front door, doop de doo, don't mind him.

Oh hey, look, it's that guy who nailed Droog with pumpkin juice, except he isn't all smiles and immature chuckles this time. Instead, he's more stoic and cold, but oh, what's that? He still has a magic wand? That's probably not good.

"I wouldn't go, if I were you."

His wand is raised, comparable to how one would threaten someone at gunpoint. You know, just in case Droog tries to ignore him.

Oh hey it's that guy who Droog still wants to murder horribly.
There was really never any question of ignoring James. If anything, Droog seems a little bit pleased.

[Beiste makes her way over to the hole warily, her metaphoric hackles raised.

Or are they figurative?

In any case, she's taking it slow, so if anyone decides to jump her ~~like that one time in the forest~~ then she's slightly more ready than she otherwise would be.]

"Yes, I am."

He wastes no time after that. He waves his wand, calls out a spell, and a green bolt shoots out from it towards Droog. He might not want to stay in that spot long enough to find out exactly what it does.

Wait! Don't!

You couldn't come up with your own plan, I take it?

[Sooo having no clue wtf is going on with this revolution and mirrors and any of that vital information, Juvia is going on a walk. She plans on going outside where Minato-kun took her on the first day she arrived.

However, there is a ~~creeper~~ person standing in her way that she hasn't seen before. Hm. Hopefully she can navigate around him. As she tries to reach to open the door, she speaks.]

Ah, excuse Juvia.

Droog was expecting it, and he's quick on the draw in every sense of the word. He steps out of the way neatly and returns fire, assessing the room for sources of cover.

[She glances back, surprised.]

What? Why?

[Does James know something she doesn't? That'd be a change, for once.]

[Marceline's been curious about this whole mirror thing. Well, she didn't care so much about their whole "rebellion" thing-- sure, they could do whatever they wanted, but it didn't concern her and it wasn't very interesting without any wizard battles or horrible monsters to slay.]

[What did interest her was the mirror's side. Being a vampire, she didn't have a reflection, so she was somewhat doubtful about her having a mirror self. And having already explored most of the real mansion, maybe this side would have something new to see!]

[Marceline floats inconspicuously towards the entrance the rabbit had opened, like everything was no big deal, and made a little sideways peek towards it. If she could just slip in real neat right here...]

[Dave actually isn't going over to the mirror side, not just yet. He does want to check up on the hole, but that's about it. The teen won't admit it, but he's feeling a bit antsy after working out an agreement with his mirror. No news is good news, though, right?]

I don't believe there is a rule that says only one person can lurk around at a time.

[Ryohei's not so much headed for the Rabbit Hole as he's just wandering around. But he detours over to the door when he sees his bro.]

James!

[]

Might I ask where you're going?

[]

Stop!

[]

...Where are you going?

[]

...Hello!

James' mirror is a bit more fluid in his motions - careful and planned. He moves out of the way swiftly and spies a suit of armor that he can use to shield himself, and dives behind it.

Before returning fire though, he peers around to make sure there's a mirror nearby, in case he should have to make an emergency escape.

It's dangerous. ...I'd rather you not get hurt.

There are plenty of places to lurk that aren't here. I highly suggest you find one.

[...Fffwhat.]

I can handle myself, son.

Droog ducks behind a pillar this time. Not ideal, but it will do.
If he knew James better ~~at all~~ he might have noticed something off. As it is, he calls:

[Well he's no Gray-sama, but Mr. Blocking the exit is pretty cute. Thus she might blush a bit and avert her eyes as she answers.]

Juvia wanted to go to the maze to see if Minato-kun was there.

[Excuse me, mirror James. What you meant there was "total bros."

Ryohei jogs over to where he's standing.]

What are you doing?
