"No, it's fine!" Rory stammered, then realized that didn't make any sense. "I mean, yes, there's a problem! I mean..."Rory's voice cracked, which made him wince. He cleared his throat and tried again."I'm terribly sorry for the, er, grimcident this morning. You know, the one where I sort of...got wedged in your locker and mistakenly believed I had been shattered into a billion pieces." Rory rubbed the back of his neck. "I broke the mirror in your locker, and that was terribly rude of me. I would have hated it if someone broke my stuff on my second day at Monster High.""That mirror wasn't really-" Arillena started to say something, but Rory cut her off, wanting badly to get past the embarrassment of it all."And after you helped us so much last fright with that whole deadtention thing, I really wanted to make it up to you, so I was hoping that you would accept this." Rory held up the pocket-sized mirror, pointing it right at Arillena so she could see the fancy filigree on it.

Gryff had raised an eyebrow when the newest mechanical marvel to get caught in the gravitational field of Lin's curiosity approached. Now he raised the other one as Atomica scuttled backwards across the creepeteria in a complicated maze. Both eyebrows were locked in an upwards position, and he was only holding one hexpresso.
"Lin...it's far too early in the morning for-"
"But Gryff, it's lunch!"
"FAR TOO EARLY," Gryff continued, rubbing his temples as his eyebrows slowly lowered back into their fixed glare, "for these kinds of shenanigans and I don't even have...hey are you wearing a suit?"
And with that, one of his eyebrows shot right back up.

"Are you sure?" Ari gave Rory a concerned look as he spoke in a hurried fashion. "It's alright really, I'm just glad you weren't hurt at all. I can imagine it being worrisome when you happen to be a fragile as, well.. Glass." She offered him a smile. "That mirror wasn't really-" ..Mine... She tried to explain. My goodness he must have been really frazzled by the accident this morning.Rorrim Rory Bludworth "And after you helped us so much last fright with that whole deadtention thing, I really wanted to make it up to you, so I was hoping that you would accept this." Rory held up the pocket-sized mirror, pointing it right at Arillena so she could see the fancy filigree on it. Her eye subconsciously moved to meet her own. In the Fae's vision- her reflections eyes flashed eerily and the blonde jumped backwards in surprise and hit her head on her locker door- which was now open. "Ow..." Ari rubbed her head and looked down. "Whoa, Are you alright?" "Yes! Yes!~" The now nervous acting Faerie said quickly, turning her attention to the interior of her locker. "Anyway.. Um, Like I was trying to say, The Mirror that fell earlier wasn't mine." She explain pulling the restored object in question out of her locker. "I um... I don't often.. I mean-" Oh dear... The girl paused to collect her thoughts. "It is very kind of you, but I couldn't accept a replacement for something that wasn't mine to begin with. Anyway... I- I Fixed it see? No harm done~ Heh heh..." She continued to hold the strange mirror face down. The Fae couldn't think of a way to explain her fear of her own reflection. "Besides, I wasn't exactly much help last night." She said timidly. "I can't even remember all that happened."

The gentlebot would seem quite excited from how loudly his internal hard drive fan was whirring from his television head, tilting his head as a pixelated confused face would appear on the screen when he mentioned food. "Well-well-well I do di-di-digest electricity when concon-connected to an outlet! It also-so-so allows me to regis-gis-gister new information.. Is tha-that helpful?" A bit of hopefulness in his smooth humanoid tone, he did want to establish a sort of connection with the organics and-- His sensors automatically picked up one mechanical being from the lack of heat from the internal organs, it made him clasp his long gloved hands in delight. Opening up his usual chipper introduction for the new companions! "Hel-hel-hello Gryff and Atomica it's a-a-a-a pleasure too meet you bo---" His introduction recording was stopped briefly based on Atomica fleeing all of a sudden, it caused a pixelated frown to appear. Gryff and Lin would watch the gentlebot begin to fiddle with the dials to the right of his screen with his elongated index and thumb, almost as if checking something" "Did I-I-I play my recor-cor-cording wrongly? Maybe-be-be-be my voice becAME too mu-mu-much.. Oh why-why-why yes! Mother and Fa-fa-father unit registered this sort sort-sort of 'fashion statement' into my-my-my hard drive. Is-Is-Is it socially acceptable by or-or-organic standards?" He asked when removing his hands from his head dials to fiddle with his midnight black tie.

Harry strolled into the creeperteria and spied the very righteous Atomica kneeling behind his roommate. Sometimes the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars....cosmic karma strikes! So very cruel. He headed over to Atomica and knelt down next to her.
"What's a choice ghoul like you doing hiding? Your fright flag should be flying!"
His Old Monster would so not approve of him flirting with Atomica since she wasn't Fae but Harry didn't care. The Old Monster was the Ultimate Square. Harry was free as a bird and this bird couldn't be changed.
...
Where had he heard that before?

Arillena "It is very kind of you, but I couldn't accept a replacement for something that wasn't mine to begin with. Anyway... I- I Fixed it see? No harm done~ Heh heh..." She continued to hold the strange mirror face down. The Fae couldn't think of a way to explain her fear of her own reflection. "Besides, I wasn't exactly much help last night." She said timidly. "I can't even remember all that happened." "Oh. I thought because-" Rory paused. Maybe the student who'd had this locker before Arillena had left the mirror in there? "Well, never mind, I guess."One thing did catch his attention. "You fixed the mirror? Can I see? I uh...I kind of have a passing interest in that sort of thing." He sheepishly grinned a crooked grin. "Mother has tried to teach me mending, but I'm not very good at it.""Sure. Mending magic is cast similar to glamour magic. The concept is similar, that's how I picked it up." Arillena told Rory, handing him the locker mirror and rubbing her head where it had gotten bumped."I can't do glamour magic either, it just bounces off of-WOAH." Rory's eyes grew wide as he flipped the mirror over, revealing its completely blank surface. "Look at that! This mirror is on the fritz!""The fritz?" Arillena asked, finally daring to glance at it, discovering its non-reflective surface. "But I'm sure it looked properly after it was mended...""It's out of order. Weird...I didn't think that could happen in this dimension. Back in Mirrorverse, where mirrors are windows to other worlds and dimensions, a blank mirror would mean it's pointing to an empty dimension. There's nothing there. But I don't see how that could happen in THIS dimension." Rory held the mirror, shifting angles and inspecting it, trying to see if he could get anything to reflect. "Therefore, it just must be on the fritz.""I...didn't know mirrors could be out of order.""Oh, sure, there are plenty of flaws in mirrors. Do you know why mirrors can't reflect vampires?" Rory asked, giving up on the blank mirror and handing it back to Arillena. "It's because they-"*RING!*The final bell for lunch tolled."Oops." Rory half-grinned. "Sorry, didn't mean to waste your time. Hey, want to join us for lunch? I'm sure there's plenty of room at our table."

"SsssSSSHHHHGETDOWN!" Atomica hissed at Harry, before grabbing his arm and also pulling him down behind Ronan. She was crafting a manster-shaped wall between herself and the Trouble Tribe table. "Are they still looking over here?! Are they?! Look but don't look! Look but act like you're totally not looking so they don't know that you're looking!" "Uh...who?" Harry asked, clearly lost. His view was blocked by Ronan's impressively large head. "Gryff, Lin and....MY REPLACEMENT!" She wailed, though she managed to keep her voice modulator down around a 6 on the volume control. "Don't you see that hunk of ro-boy with them?! The one stylishly vintage and wearing a full three-piece suit?! Isn't it obvious? The Trouble Tribe has decided to upgrade! I'm obsolete!"

Ari took the "out of order" Mirror back carefully. She stared down at it curiously. I wonder what could be the problem?She listened with genuine interest as Rory began to explain mirrors and looked up as the Bell rang. "Oh it's no trouble at all~" The Fae smiled. Ari nodded happily, "Sure I'd love to join you~" She saw it as another opportunity to meet more people and make more friends. Still curious about the Strange mirror she slipped it into her bag. The elvish girl quickly took her "lunch" out of her locker and also put it in her bag. After shrinking both Ari swung it over her shoulder and followed her Friend to the Caf-... The Creepateria~

Ronan turned slowly and frowned at the two of them.
"Is now really an appropriate time to be playing hide and seek?" He enquired.
"shhh." Atomica hissed again.
Ronan looked bewildered.
Nearby Perry and Nathair had noticed Atomica's strange behaviour, mostly because Perry had been keeping an eye out for her since lunch began.
He tried to catch her eye and beckon her over once Ronan had turned back around and returned to his lunch.

Gryff's brain automatically switched into "old record" mode, he hardly noticed the stutter." It's suitable, and it's quite beyond the so-called tastes of the typical student body. Very reto-chic, I approve. Though you'll want to stick with a skinnier tie, too wide and it veers into corpseporate shill territory." Gryff chugged the last of his hexpresso before peering into Lin's lunch bag, just in case Grimma McGearloch packed extra snickerboodle cookies. He glanced periodically over towards Atomica, whose high ponytail could still be seen wavering around behind Ronan." Does she have a science thing? Atomica doesn't hang out with the Sour Seal unless she's forced to by classroom hacktivities." Lin climbed up onto the table and stood on tiptoe, trying to peer over the students. Atomica's ponytail scrunched down lower. A flash of chrome shot out and grabbed another boo from nearby, making her nearly impossible to see." I dunno," Lin said, scratching his chin, " she hasn't said anything. HEY ATOMICA!" The last of the ponytail disappeared down below the table." Oh well." Lin hopped down and dumped his lunch onto the table." So, what's your story?" Gryff asked Bobby.

Motthew walked into the Creepateria a bit later, stretching his arms and yawning. Everyone seemed worked up over the new student. He just smiled to himself. He hadn't had a chance to meet the new guy, since he had been sleeping though most of his classes. He had wanted to sleep through lunch, hoping to get his energy back, but he did need to eat.
He looked around at the tables. Atomica seemed to be hiding under the table she sat at with Ronan. Lin was yelling for her, sitting with him was... a tv? Must be the new kid. Motthew shrugged and just walked on.

Perry caught Motthew by the sleeve as he passed. The Peryton had a manic, desperate sort of look in his eyes.
"Motthew... man.. please... did you get sent muffins this morning?"
Nathair and Vinnie looked at one another and started laughing again.
"Shut up." Perry snapped.

Motthew blinked as he was suddenly pulled close to someone. He looked at frantic Perry, confused. He blinked, his sunglasses having slipped down his face.
"Uh... muffins?" he questioned, "I don't think so? I think I'd remember something so random." his antenna twitched curiously, "Why, did you? You have some sort of admirer?"

Perry's face twisted into a snarl, all fangs and annoyance as he let go of Motthew.
"No." He glared at Nathair who was trying very hard not to smile.

Motthew looked confused. He looked at Nathair and Vinnie, who'd both been laughing and looking just amused.
He looked at Perry again and shrugged, "Okay then. If you say so." he just smiled a little.
