The Dark Mirror?!
The Queen |
Slave in the Magic Mirror, come from the farthest space. |
The Queen |
Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? |
The Magic Mirror |
A lovely maid I see. Lips as red as the rose.Hair black as ebony. Skin as white as snow. |
Snow White |
This is a wishing well, as rumors tell. |
Snow White |
It's only fitting I make a wish.May I find joy in true love's kiss! |
The Prince |
Hello. Did I frighten you? |
The Prince |
Wait! Wait, please. Don't run away.Now that I found you, hear what I have to say. |
The Prince |
"I pour my heart into this song.My feelings for you could never be wrong. |
| There was a beautiful woman glowering from a window... | Something about that person felt familiar... |
Ramshackle Dorm - Your Room
|
Brrr, it's freezin' in here! Y'think they'd let me take my blanket with me to school?
Hm? What's up, [MC]? You're starin' hard at that mirror.
If you're worried about bedhead, don't be. You look fine. Now let's get to class. |
|
Morning, [MC] and Grim. How's it goin'? |
|
Good morning, you two. It's pretty chilly today, huh? |
| Ah—! | That's who I saw in my dream! |
|
Ow! [MC], don't just stop in the middle of the walkway!
I just smacked face-first into your leg! |
|
You're staring at the Great Seven statues. What's up? |
| I think I've dreamed of some of these other people, too... | It wasn't just this time. I've seen some of them before... |
|
Hello? [MC]? You're spacing out on us. Are you feeling sick or something? |
|
[MC]'s been acting kinda funny ever since we got up this morning. |
|
Oh yeah? Did something happen over the holidays? |
|
You have dreams where the Great Seven appear in the Ramshackle Dorm mirror?
I guess when you see their statues every day, it's not all that surprising that they'd show up in your dreams. |
| But the ones in my dreams don't match the legends | They're very vivid dreams. It's like I've walked into a movie. |
|
I've recited the names of important figures in my sleep after cramming for a magic history test...
But what you're describing sounds a little different. |
| There's also someone named Mickey in the mirror with big, round ears... | This figure calling himself "Mickey" has been knocking on the mirror lately, too. |
|
Whoa, that's wild. Who's this Mickey dude? |
|
I've never heard that name at this school before. |
|
Ah, wait a minute. Was this when you stepped on my tail in the middle of the night? |
FLASHBACK START
|
Myah... Mmm... I've got dibs on that turkey... |
| The mirror's glowing again? |
|
Gyah! Watch the tail... *Snooore* |
FLASHBACK END
|
Hm. If it's not a dream, what does that leave? Maybe the ghosts are messing with you. |
|
They're pretty big pranksters, it's true. I wouldn't put it past 'em. |
|
Okay, how about this? Next time Mickey shows up in the mirror...
Try taking a picture of him with that ghost camera you got from the headmage.
It's a magic item that records spirits on film, right? Even ghosts show up fine in pics it takes. |
|
Makes sense. A photo might be able to shed some light on who this Mickey guy is. |
|
Once we ID the perp, I'll demand compensatory tuna for my bruised tail! |
|
And hey, if nothing shows up, we can write it off as [MC] being a vivid dreamer. |
|
Get to your seats, puppies.
In this homeroom period, I'm going to tighten the reins you whelps pulled loose over the holidays.
I trust you're all aware that the National Arcane Academy Culture Fair is coming up in mid-February.
This year, it's going to be held here at Night Raven College. |
|
Myah? We've got some kinda fair comin' up? |
|
The events schedule was posted in September, at the start of the school year. Some of you didn't even look at it, did you? Lazy curs! |
|
Since we clearly have some bad dogs in this class, and because housebreaking you is my job anyway, I'll recap it for those who need it.
The National Arcane Academy Culture Fair is a yearly event for students representing schools across the country.
It's a two-day festival that includes fine art, music, research showcases on magic, and speech contests. |
|
In essence, it's an interscholastic event for culture-oriented clubs.
At Night Raven, students spend their senior year at internships and research placements related to their magical professions...
And this is the time when the seniors some back to school and announce their findings. |
|
Y'know, I hadn't thought much about it before now...
But we haven't run into a single senior since we enrolled, have we? |
|
All I knew was that they were training off-campus. Better make sure we pay our respects. |
| Now that you mention it, it's just freshmen, sophomores, and juniors on campus, huh? | Wow, I never knew magicians did internships. |
|
This festival also gets attention from many organizations on the lookout for fresh next-generation talent, such as the Bureau of Magic...
As well as the Magic Board of Education, other universities, magic-related businesses, research institutes, and the entertainment industry.
All of you art club dogs had best ensure that you're well-groomed and presentable! |
|
So it's a festival for the arts clubs, huh? |
|
We're both in sports clubs, so I guess we won't be doing much here. |
|
Hey, if it's a festival, that means there's gonna be a ton of food stalls like they had at the Spelldrive tournament! |
|
It's always about food with you. Geez. |
|
And with that, homeroom time is over.
First period will be a practical lesson in defensive magic. SIT quietly and STAY! |
