Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
I've been watching
I've been watching you. I know your every move- the way your face will at first contort into confusion when you read this, then slowly shift into understanding. Let's make a deal- we play a game. You win, then you're free to go. If you lose...well, let's just say that you don't want to lose.
You don't know me. But I know you. There's something that you have no control over- a mystery that is unsolvable.
This is not a ski lodge. This is a test of sorts. Do not try to bargain or negotiate. The terms are set.
Join before December 31st.
Someone is watching you.
Cricket is not normal.
You must complete the challenge.
Be warned- serious consequences await those who fail.
You cannot see them, but they have been watching us for quite a while now. I am afraid you all are next. -Lunar Pearl

Let's continue.
"You pass," says the painting- to everyone except Fallen Leaf. A trapdoor opens, and Fallen Leaf falls through.
The painting enlargens and becomes a doorway. You step through, and find that you are in a house of mirrors. Somehow, your reflection speaks when you don't.
"Help...I'm trapped in here."

(I forgot to reply to the first one, uh, whoops.)
Do you really want to be free?

Yeah, like I'm gonna trust a talking reflection. Nice try.
I smash my fist against the glass to shatter it. There; no more creepy talking reflection. Problem solved. (This is probably gonna get me out, but it's what I would do so XD)

I reach out and touch the surface of the mirror. If my reflection can talk independently, perhaps it can move independently too. I try to pull it out. It that fails, I simply try to comfort it.

Oh, I just saw this. I guess I'm sitting at the bottom of something, now...

I guess break the glass?
(January 4, 2021 - 3:00 pm)
I twirl around, saying, "is this what i really look like? weird".
I'm probably going to get out for narcisissm, but whatever.

Rely on your inner strength to guide you.

Start your ascent out slowly, and take it a step at a time.

I tell my reflection to try breaking the glass.
(January 4, 2021 - 9:35 am)
I think that if the reflection is trapped, they've tried everything to get out. Therefore they're asking for help....
So I'm going to try to pull them out.
If that fails I'll break the glass on my side of the mirror.

Your true self will guide you. Good luck.

After hours of arguing over this;
Express your sympathy, say something motivational to them, apologize, and venture forth! If you break the glass, they might shatter.

It's a reflection. I am standing here, just fine. I can try to help it, but it won't do me that much good.
"I'm sorry, reflection," I say. "Can you break the glass?"
(January 4, 2021 - 6:23 pm)
"We'll escape together," I tell it.
