9-21-04

It seems I may have stumbled across yet another unusual store/place in Gaia. Which is why I have this latest journal. However if things turn out how I expect them too, it will belong to someone else very soon. This whole thing started when I was out in Gaia with Alces. I came across an old looking shop; the interior was a mess, yet I could easily tell that some cleaning had been done. That wasn't the kind of shop I was looking for, but when I noticed Neith inside I just had to go see what kind of shop it might become. Next thing I knew I was buying an old mirror from the place, and was told I might gain another addition to my 'family' I have gathered while in Gaia.

Apparently this happened to Neith and a few others she knows. Her 'daughter' Kia had been looking at her reflection in some shiny object, and a few moments later Aurora appeared on her bed. That is what I need to watch out for; some random child that looks simliar to me, or to whatever looks in the looking glass coming out of no where. If I do in fact have a 'special' mirror things could get interesting. Just in case something like that should happen I have kept the mirror close to me while in my home. Before the mirror began becoming fuzzy it had been on my dresser near a small pile of books of mine.

However I wanted to show it to Neith as soon as it began getting hazy. Thankfully she was in the shop and I was able to show her what was going on. From what she said I think it's normal, and there's a very good chance that I'll end up with one of those children that come from the mirrors and other various objects from that shop. When I was about to leave I noticed there was something strange on the surface of the glass, and upon closer inspection it turns out it was red lipstick? Perhaps in the shape of something that resembles a sun? I'm not sure, but whatever it is, I think Aurora was the culprit. Her fingers looked a bit red, but I wasn't able to get a good look at them. Such an active little girl she is. Sweet though...despite the lipstick inncident.

It's early in the morning, and far earlier than you're used to getting up at. But you wake none the less, feeling not very tired at all. Without thinking, you are drawn across the room and to the mirror, where you can see a reflection in the clear glass of something kneeling on your bed, looking right back at you...

Early in the morning Xannyia found herself waking up. Glancing at the alarm clock she growled quietly to herself. It was hours before she needed to be awake. Turning over onto her side she shut her eyes again and layed there for a few more seconds before reopening her eyes. Again she wasn't sure why and forced them shut again. Within a few minutes they were open again. It was then she realized there was no use. She didn't seem to be tired anymore so she figured she might as well just get up.

Getting out of bed she frowned towards the mirror set on her dresser. For some reason unknown to her Xannyia headed over towards the mirror. She had spent a few hours the night before getting the lipstick sun off of the glass' surface. Now it was perfectly clean and she had been sure to make sure no smears were left on it. However it did annoy her that she couldn't seem to get the fogginess to go away; and now that she wasn't going back to sleep any time soon she could continue to try and get rid of it.

With a soft cloth in hand she picked the mirror up off of the top of the dresser and held it up only to see something strange. A face of a young girl? Setting the mirror down slowly Xannyia held her breath and shut her eyes for a moment only to reopen them and see if she was dreaming. When the figure in the mirror was still there she turned around slowly. All the while telling herself that she had known this might have happened so there was no reason to be surprised.

Forcing a kind smile on her face Xannyia set the mirror down on the dresser behind her and eyed the stranger sitting on her bed. Slowly, she moved towards the bedside, beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable since the little girl staring at her hadn't blinked once; just kept staring at her. The woman went to sit on the very edge of the bed; not wanting to get too close at the moment. At the same time, Xannyia wanted to hug her. She was a cute little girl, and she even matched the house in which all the furniture was pretty much different shades of blue. Not to mention, the girl looked somewhat like her and something else she couldn't quite figure out.

The little girl scooted closer to Xannyia as she sat down and after continuing to stare at her a while longer in a curious fashion she finally returned the smile. "Hello." Was all she said as she said, yet it sounded friendly...enough.

"Hello." Xannyia repeated as her jaw dropped. She couldn't help it, even though she had been expecting this, part of her hadn't. And even though she had been 'prepared' she apparently still wasn't used to odd things like this happening.

The two of them remained there in silence, neither one of them wanting to be the first to talk. Eventually Xannyia gave up the small 'war' and spoke, "We uh...we need to go to the shop I bought the mirror in.." Immediately she rushed around the room and got ready to head out to the shop. Walking over to Sarria she grabbed her hand and nearly ran out the door followed by the little girl who was struggling to keep up.

"Don't go so fas..."

"Come on hurry up. Oh..it's too early isn't it? Ah, it doesn't matter. You might be hungry. Are you hungry?"

"Yes, bu..."

"Okay good, we'll stop somewhere to eat then along the way."

"...Okay..." The little girl let out a slow sigh as she was dragged off towards the car, barely having time to shut the front door which Xannyia had forgotten to do.

So far, things have been going fairly well. Sarria is at an age where she can't yet write; so for now I shall continue to keep a record of what happens in this journal for her until she can. Ever since her release from the mirror she has been quite a sweet little girl. At times it seems as though she might be shy, but it doesn't take her long to coax her out from behind me. As of now, she has only met one other Simulacra. That would be Aurora, Neith's little one, or rather, Kia's little one.

She is staying in her own room in my Gaian home now. Just like the rest of the house she matches it perfectly. Alces keeps telling me I need to find other colors than just blue. I keep telling him that I do have other colors, such as the wood of a few of the tables is brown. Not that that really makes any difference whatsoever. The little girl likes her room very much, and for that I am glad. Soon, I need to go shopping to get her toys. I'm afraid I don't have many toys, if any, laying around my house.

Sarria is able to speak quite well for her age, so I'm thinking that with a lot of help and teaching she might learn how to write a few words. At least her name would be good enough.

While out in a video/DVD store, you tell Sarria that she can pick some as well. You expect her to pick children's videos... she is a child, after all. But instead, she picks Bollywood movies. Cheesy, romantic, music and dancing filled Bollywood films. Sarria makes it clear to you that it's these movies or nothing.

She loves the films, from the second they start playing...

"All right." Xannyia started as she set the small girl down on the ground, "It's your turn to go pick out a few movies you would like to watch. I'm afraid there aren't many...childrens movies in my home."

With a happy nod Sarria took off towards the DVD's she had been eyeing earlier while Xannyia had searched for her own movies. The little one new exactly what type of movies she wanted to pick out.

Xannyia had a hard time keeping up with Sarria as she weaved in and out of the crowd in the store. Several times she had lost sight of the little girl, only to see a quick glimpse of her rushing through the isles. With a small pant the woman finally caught up with the girl and caught her staring at a few DVD's with wide eyes as she struggled to reach one of the shelves near the top that contained the videos.

"Here, let me get those for you." Xannyia laughed and grabbed the ones that Sarria was pointing at. The smile that had been on her face slowly began to vanish as she looked at the titles of the films and who made them. "Bolly what?" She questioned. "Bolly--wood?" There was a long pause between the word as her jaw dropped.

Of all movies, why these? She was certain she would have picked out some Barney movie or some other strange kid's show. This however, was quite unexpected. She hadn't even heard of these before; but by just examining the covers she could already tell these weren't the types of movies she was used to.

"Bollywood...?" Xannyia repeated quietly while shaking her head, "No honey. Not these, they don't look very--good. Let's go ove--"

"No! I want these! Bollywood great!" The girl tugged on Xannyia's pants and pointed to the cases again, "Bollywood." She repeated in a demanding tone.

"But these ar--" Once again the woman found herself cut off as Sarria pleaded to keep them. "Oh fine, but I don't think you are going to li--" Yet again she was cut off. This time by a happy squeal of joy from the child.

Minutes later Xannyia found herself being stared at oddly by the checkout man. She returned his look with a blank stare, "What? Do you have a problem? They are for my child." This only made the look she was getting worse. He now looked...disturbed, and soon enough that look had began to appear on Xannyia's face as she watched the movies with Sarria.

By the last one she was seriously thinking about how long it would take her to die if she accidentally choked on a piece of popcorn or cut herself with the knife she had used to make a sandwhich for the small girl.

On the other hand Sarria loved the movies! So much in fact, that she hadn't let Xannyia leave the room without pausing the movie. The little girl had insisted that she watch every single minute of the 'wonderful' movies. Everyonce in a while she had even shaken Xannyia awake just to make sure she didn't miss an 'important' part of the film.

After nearly a week of watching those stupid...pointless, horrible, boring Bollywood movies, it was finally time to return them. It was about time, I thought I was going to go insane if I had to even hear them, or think about them one more time! This time, when we were at the rental store I made sure to tell her that we weren't going to rent anymore movies for a while and kept her away from the section that contained Bollywood films. I don't ever think I can forget the horror that I felt, having to watch those...things. Sadly, she'll probably want to watch more of them sometime, and I'm going to be forced down to the video store, and have to watch them with her again.

While out in Gaia after returning the movies, I decided to go shopping. I bought a few things for Sarria, and even let her pick out a small pet. That, was a mistake. I wanted her to have the bunny, the cute, little, harmless bunny, but no! She wanted to have the 'cute, little' fox. I guess I would have to agree about him being cute, and he isn't overly large. His tail is all fluffy, and he hasn't tried to eat Alces when he is visiting. So, I suppose it's all right. Just as long as she keeps that thing in check.

She hasn't named him yet, but he has been at her side at almost every waking moment of hers, and sleeping for that matter. He even 'helped' her set up her toys that I bought for her yesterday by dragging them over to her when it was time for her to put them up in her chosen spot for them.

With my help, she hung up the starry windchime in her window in the very middle of it. I also purchased a cobra incense holder for her. Yes, snakes don't really seem to fit the girl, but it was a cobra, and since she liked the Bollywood movies so much, I couldn't help but get a cobra one, since they are from india as well. She seems to like it all right. And if you ask me, the fox doesn't look as good with her as the bunny would have! But hey, it was her choice...whatever makes her happy. She still got her bunny thought, I saw a little bunny plush toy in the same shop, so I got that for her. Thankfully, she hadn't noticed the fox ones, so she's plenty happy with the bunny one. She sleeps with it every night; it's on the side of her that the fox isn't curled up against.

Other than that, nothing else has really happened. Sarria helped me around the house, doing various chores, watching the Bollywood movies, until they were returned yesterday, playing with some toys, and a few other things. She helped me plant a Rose Bag in the garden, which shall soon blossom into a little baby, which should be interesting. You should have seen her face when I tried to explain that to her. I don't see why she thinks it's so odd, after all, she came from a mirror. Children...so strange yet cute.

Sarria finally got to meet another of her kind today. While wandering the streets of Gaia, I decided it would be best for Sarria to meet another young child. I know for a fact she wouldn't have any fun if she were to be with me all the time. After all, I'm not the most exciting person in the world. Anyway, no one was in the shop when I first arrived, but within seconds another pair had come along.

The 'mother' of the Simulacra was named X, and her child goes by Zanna. Sarria seemed to like Zanna instantly, which I suppose is a good thing. When trying to shake her hand she was hugged instead, and it was quite amusing to see her reaction that that. I'll never forget the 'help me' look on her face. However, she didn't seem to remain 'scared' for very long.

Zanna seems like a...sweet...little girl. Very cute, she seems to be very forward. She even taught Sarria a new word today. One I had hoped she wouldn't know of yet. "Sexy" was the word, and I'm afraid that Sarria is going to use it in the wrong way, at the wrong time, and with the wrong person. She is after all, only four, and that's what four year olds do. They cause lots of problems like all little children. Hopefully she will forget about it, but I highly doubt that. Just before I put her to bed for the night she smiled at me and told me she wanted to go play with Zanna again soon. So I'll have to remember to take her to the shop more often to see if X and her girl are there. It would be good for Sarria to have another friend.

It was the end of a rainy day, and you step outside for just a moment to see if the rain had finally let up. Just as you do so, you notice a small package carefully wrapped in plastic to keep the rain out, sitting on your door step. You recognize the familiar "Through the Looking Glass" stationary, on which is written:

Note in Emme's round print

Dear Xann and Sarria,
I was watching the shop today when Sao Kasai came by to drop off these adorable little dolls! She made one for each of the children. Despite the weather, I couldnt' wait to give them out! I wrapped up Sarria's Doll very carefully. Enjoy!
