Aileen quickly locked the door behind her--and not a moment too soon. One vicious hellhound rammed its snout into the doors, causing it to groan and crack. The door would not hold for long. She looked anxiously to Arabelle, hoping the young lady had a plan. She seemed to be fumbling with what--a ram skull? Aileen shivered just at the sight of it, and it reminded her of the 13 magpies she saw flying earlier that day.

Her thoughts were cut short as Arabelle grabbed Aileen's hand and began disappearing  into the full length mirror on the bathroom wall. Her eyes went wide with fear and wonder as she, herself, was pulled into the liquid metal surface.

When Aileen emerged, her head was spinning. [color=479268]"Aye... I feel like Alice through the looking glass..."[/color] she commented, rubbing her temple with her free hand as she looked curiously around. Behind them was a doorway with a strage view into the bathroom they had come from. Distorted sounds of barking and thudding and cracking,  could be heard coming from their entrance, almost like they were underwater. And all around, they seemed to be surrounded by an endless expanse. Out of nowhere a doorway--or more likely, a mirror--materialized in front directly in front of them.

[color=804061] “Jump through this one, okay?”[/color] Arabelle smiled at Aileen briefly before turning to face the opening.

Once again, Aileen was pulled through a portal into what appeared to be... the public bathroom at her workplace? Yes, when her head stopped spinning, she was sure of it. They were at the local cafe, where Aileen worked part time as a barista. The full length mirror seemed to be fully intact and completely normal but she put her free hand on the flat cool surface for a moment just to be sure, then let out an audible sigh of relief.

[color=479268]"Ah... A'm knackered after all that,"[/color] Aileen said wearily, looking rather pale. She glanced over to Arabelle and the skull. [color=479268]"Is this nawful [i]thing[/i] what the brawl was all about?"[/color] Aileen asked while pointing, with a frown and a furrowed brow.

But eyes quickly softened and she grew concerned as she took in Arabelle's pained expression and the way she held her arm. [color=479268]"I must have banjanxed your shoulder pretty good, I'm sorry... but I can make it right again. My Ma wasn't a nurse, but she taught me a thing or two to save a pretty penny...."[/color]
