All right. To summarize what [MC] has told us... One: Mickey is not in Twisted Wonderland. Two: time is passing in Mickey's world as well. Three: the only time [MC] can converse with Mickey is when Mickey is sleeping. This is purely conjecture on my part, but... What if the mirror in [MC]'s room is effectively functioning like a silver cap on a tooth? |
| A what now? |
|
Oh, sorry. Let me back up. Are you guys familiar with crystal radios? |
 |
I made one in class once back in elementary school. It uses a coil of wire and a crystal to pick up radio waves, right? I remember how amazed I was that you could listen to the radio on it when it didn't use electricity. |
|
Yeah, that's it! You can receive radio signals when you intentionally build something that meets all the right conditions. But in very rare cases, sometimes a tooth with a silver cap—which is used to treat cavities—meets the conditions for a crystal radio too... ...Which means the owner of the tooth sometimes picks up radio signals. |
 |
Really? That actually happens? |
|
There's a lot more to it, mind you—the size of the tooth, the volume of saliva, the position of nearby buildings and radio towers, and so on. Crystal radios were made to pick up radio signals. Silver caps weren't; it's just a coincidence that they do. People in the old days didn't realize that their silver caps met the conditions for a radio... So they'd freak out when they suddenly heard noises out of nowhere and say it was a ghost. Which brings me to my point. You all know that already, of course. Are you familiar with Viewglasses? |
|
We learned about those in our History of Magic class, I think... |
 |
There should be a picture of one in our textbook. ...Aha, here it is. |
| "Viewglass—" "Shaftlands folklore tells of a magic mirror that can show the holder anything, from one's beloved to wild beasts living in the deep woods." "The Viewglass is a magical artifact based on those tales." "It enables the holder to communicate with someone in a faraway place via magic." I highlighted that entry since Professor Trein said it'd be on a test. |
|
People often use mirrors, crystals, and basins for magic-based transportation and communication, right? So I think it's very possible the mirror in [MC]'s room just happens to meet a set of special conditions... ...Which allow it to link to Mickey in another world. |
 |
Y'know, you might be onto something there. Even the Dark Mirror summoned [MC] here from another world by accident... Hey! Hold up, does that mean... |
|
Yup. We know Mickey's not in our world. And [MC] comes from a different world. So if we can establish a reliable means of connecting with Mickey... ...Then that might help us figure out a way to send [MC] back home again. |
| SWEET MERCIFUL SEVEN! | You could find a way to send me home?! |
|
It's entirely possible. So, who's up for a group investigation? |
