Mintaka carted the guardian cat with the utmost care in her arms.
Lace had been a real treat to find in the negaverse, and while the Origami senshi was still working on Alliances, the kitten seemed willing to help if it led her to the 'things'. Things she assumed were the corrupted and dark mirror senshi.
"Are you okay Lace?" She waited before she entered the mirror. She needed permission after all before she could just make people go in there.
"I...I am okay!" Lace answered and peered curiously over at the mirror, "T...This is how we are going?"
Mintaka gave the small creature a head scratch and instead of answer, dropped into the large mirror. She chose to spare Lace the mirrorwalking of her powers, as it was disorientating and knew exactly where it was she wanted to go. The mirror she had placed on the outskirts of the park lines rippled, as her head popped up slowly. It was followed by an arm.
"Ah, I'm sorry Lace, This mirror is a little small and I forget that I have....gained weight." Something she hated to admit. Lace's head popped out next and she squeaked.
Strickenized Have half a cat and Mintaka

Clay was going to buy the s**t out of this jacket.
The dressing room was relatively cramped, but the distressed metal door at his back and the real wood sides provided a perfect backdrop for his current outfit. The jacket was left unzipped, the hood thrown back, and a declarative ballcap sat slightly skewed on his head while he leaned back against the door with his arms folded. The pants fitted better than the style dictated, but Clay found pants particularly troublesome when every third step nearly sent them to his knees. It was an attempt at the rapper clothing choices, and one he didn't care for terribly on himself. Luckily, striking out as a new musician required a certain element of individuality - he couldn't simply be another Slim Shady and expect to succeed.
I look pretty ******** fine in this. Clay sifted through the jacket hung on the wall to pull his tired old Samsung phone and hold it high for the Myspace-angle selfie. Afterward, it was saved into a folder pertaining to Christmas gifts that would later find its way to his aunt. For a last moment, he regarded himself in the mirror and contemplated how the whole outfit fit together. Baggy jeans, unlaced shoes, a badass jacket and a white undershirt... It felt much too 90s reject. Really he just liked the jacket.
But it didn't really say 'rapper'.
Clay started on unbuttoning the pants first (though he didn't know why he bothered, as they slid straight off without assistance), and pushed them just below his boxes when he caught movement in his periphery. Looking up, he watched in a mix of dumbfounded objection and horror as a hot girl popped herself out of his dressing room mirror with a puffy cat. Clay did not even attempt to disguise his surprise. "What the ******** just happened?"
Secondarily he remembered he was in the process of getting undressed, and hiked up his pants as soon as possible. Fingers shook as he buttoned them up because hot girl and what even the ******** class="quote">Pixie Nyxie please let me know if any of this needs to change! i am not super sure of my understanding of dark mirrors~

Mintaka almost didn't realize that she has misshot her mirrorwalking and was just trying to push the two of them out. Instead of the open park that she was aiming for, it seemed she had ended up in a dressing room, which she oddly might've been in once upon a time but it was defenitly not the highest mirror on her list to visit.
She looked up, and her eyes met a young man's.
"Pardon me." Then her gaze dropped and she started to blush furiously, looking away until the man was properly covered and she should find the right words. Lace also averted her eyes because she was a delicate young kitten and she hadn't even seen SERA undressed.
"We seem to have come through the wrong mirror." Mintaka said this to Lace mostly and then looked back up at Clay with a mix of apprehension and seriousness. She fully stepped out of the mirror now, a purple boot tapping the ground. "I'm really sorry about this-" Because not only were the new quarters tight, but she'd have to drain him and dump him somewhere. Or she could take him to Auro.....
While Mintaka debated, Lace hopped off her shoulder, and then meekly touched the young man's leg with her paw, sensing something deep within him. A power similar to Mintaka's, it felt like.
"M...Mintaka...." The cat spoke, "T...This one is...Special..."

The ******** was he supposed to do with this? Some chick just stepped out of his dressing room mirror, which was pretty ******** unreal, and brought a cat with her like she was part of some witch show (not that he watched Charmed at all). Clay continued to stare blankly at her while he buckled his belt, then shoved both hands in his pockets to assume his usual pose. "You just like... Came out of a mirror. That's pretty ******** weird. And look, I'm not down with people barging in on me, but I'll look past it if you teach me how you do that. Cuz that is some sweet s**t right there." He finished, pulling an arm from its usual home to point toward the mirror.
Looking past her, the surface looked plain as day - showing both her back (which had weird fluffy wings on it), the cat's butt, and his face. Nothing about it screamed 'portal' or 'transportation device' or even 'magical', but he was pretty damned sure that was the force at work here. Not that he ever bothered with sissy stories like Neil Gaiman's, but that sounded like some serious London Underground s**t.
He kinda liked that idea.
Yet his thoughts jarred up completely when he heard a tiny child's voice stemming from her feet. "Wait," he paused, brows furrowing, "did your cat just talk?" And I know I'm not high. This is weird as s**t. "What even are you?" He asked at last when his voice lowered for secrecy.Pixie Nyxie trying to get back into tagging, apologies on the wait

Mintaka ahemed.
"Yes, Lace is a guardian cat. She is um...I guess the easiest way for me to explain is that she's an alien from outer space who came to look for other..sort of aliens and awaken them." She waved her hands. "You know, like sci-fi movies but...real life."
Lace on the other hand, jumped on the small shelf by the mirror and peeped up.
"My name is Lace! And this is going to sou...sound weird. Bu...But you are special." She nodded, "An...and me and Mintaka...we could a...aw..awaken you."
Mintaka blinked at the cat and then nodded.
"If Lace says so, I can. But it requires going through where I just came." She smiled, "Do you believe in magic?

Aliens? The ********? She just said aliens. This is some kinda Alice in Wonderland s**t?
"Uh... Okay." His brow furrowed, his head cocked to the side, and he stared at Mintaka something fierce. She was totally serious about this s**t. Not only was she totally serious about this s**t, but she proved it the moment the cat stepped up and talked. A real, live, talking cat. Er, alien. From outer space.
Folding his arms, Clay looked puzzled as he tried to piece together the facts. "So she's an alien," he started, pointing to the cat, "who came from outer space to look for other aliens and wake them up. And she can wake me up. So I'm an alien? This is some kinda Invasion of the Body Snatchers thing? Cuz I s**t you not, I didn't wake up this morning thinking I was an alien. This is weird." But it didn't look like anyone put her up to this, and he didn't think anyone could fake coming out of a mirror. Unless it wasn't a mirror, but who did that s**t in a clothing shop?
She cat further compounded the weirdness by asking him if he believed in magic. Clay paused to look about himself, and listened for half a minute to determine if anyone else was around. The store sounded pretty dead. He heard no familiar voices, suggesting that his schoolmates wouldn't find out. "Uh, sure." Might as well go with it. If I wake up later, cool. If it just gets weirder...
Also cool.
"So I go through there and I wake up? Does everything go back to normal if I do?" He really didn't mind their company, aside from them finding him with his pants down, and the cat seemed nice and the girl looked pretty hot and why would he want to toss that aside right now?

Aliens.
They were confirmed.
"I know its really hard to believe." She smiled sadly, "and I totally agree, because I swear not even two years ago I was being awakened and my cat decided to just like...run off?" She laughed, "I think Lace will be more then willing to fully explain everything, and I wouldn't leave you to flail."
Lace's ears flicked back as she watched the young man and then piped in with his questions.
"No no! you...you are still human! But a long time ago...you weren't! Its um...whats it called...Reincarnation! You have a special...special starseed now....unlike other...um humans...of this planet." Lace's head bobbed a little as if she was trying to understand it herself.
"If you go through, yeah!" Mintaka smiled and took his hand carefully. Lace popped onto her shoulder and she turned in the small space, stepping into the mirror, pulling his hand along until it was being enveloped by the cool glass.
"Don't pull away either, or I'll lose you." She said it very seriously, "And this place can be really big-"

"Well. That sounds kinda cool." At least the girl was being nice about it, and she sounded like she meant it. So he could wake up, whatever that meant, and she'd stick around to make sure he didn't do something stupid. Whatever that meant, too.
"So wait, reincarnation is real?" Wasn't that some kind of Buddhist thing? Or, one of those eastern religions... Clay didn't know right offhand, and never considered himself religious to begin with. He didn't want to start thinking about it, however, because the implications that reincarnation existed implied a whole slew of reflective processes that he'd need to undergo. So, instead, he tried to take it at face value. Once upon a time, he was an alien. Now he was human. So, maybe it wasn't all that different from immigration. Once upon a time, his ancestors were Swedish. Now, he's American. Now, that wasn't so bad. He didn't need to think about karma and all that s**t until later.
Because, of course, it was going to hit him later whether he wanted it to or not.
The grasp of his hand pulled him out of his thoughts perfectly, and Clay looked to her, somewhat concerned. "Okay, sure, I won't. But uh, what's in there?" He asked, as Mintaka started for the mirror.
The clothes left in the dressing room lay forgotten, as Clay realized he was about to find out about the realm of the mirror firsthand. It was, admittedly, pretty wicked to go popping through mirrors like that. The simple action of it reminded him of the books he read as a child, from the Narnia chronicles to some of the first books of Harry Potter. Before all that s**t became uncool, of course. He wouldn't be caught dead reading it now.
But in that moment, he felt like he was stepping through a wardrobe and into the lion's lands.

"Yep! Definitely real. Very messed up, depending on what side you wake up on. Order gets all the benefits/demands for it." She waved her hand, "If you're lucky to you will never have to deal with it."
Her hand wrapped gently around his arm, even as she pulled him in the mirror. "Oh you know, fog, some objects. It's pretty exciting." She grinned a bit, with Lace purring next to her.
"Don't...Don't be scared! Mintaka is really good!" Lace waited until they were fully emerged before dropping down and Mintaka smiled again. The ground wasn't really clear in what it was, thanks to the fog that covered it but the dim light and eerie quiet was more welcoming then the bright lights of DC.
Her hand let go of him now, and the whole area seemed to shift. The large room shrunk in size, into a hallway with a door at the end.
"It changes based on our needs. Since we need to awaken you, It's showing us the way." She smiled, "Are you scared?"

"Order?" Clay asked as his arm was taken. I don't get this at all. He doubted he'd be wanting for an explanation at all, though; Mintaka and the Talking cat seemed willing to explain. Not that he knew all the right questions to ask, though. This felt like all those weird Neil Gaiman books that he read when he was a couple years younger. Traveling through mirrors, visiting alternate dimensions...
But here, in this darkened room, with mist so thick he couldn't see his own feet, he wondered if he was here in some kind of Destiny City Underground. Some kind of Alternate City. It had to be, right? Maybe Mintaka and her cat were the magical pair that could pull him into the weird, destitute, magic side of Destiny City. He didn't want to think about it too much, however, because he was starting to get excited. Like, childishly excited. Like, he didn't want to get like this in front of a pretty girl. He had to stay tough.
"I don't get scared," he told the cat as he tried to get his bearings. It was of little use, though, as the room shrunk seamlessly into another shape altogether. It stumped him terribly; what in the hell was going on here? What place did s**t like this? It was like a world outside of his imagination entirely.
Clay reeled in his overt gawking when he heard Mintaka's question, and cast her a glance. "Nah," he answered lazily. "This place is pretty wicked. How'd you find it?" He wasn't even sure if that was a relevant question, but he asked it, so whatever. It could keep showing the way, wherever 'the way' is. Waking up was sounding like a procession. Wait, was this gonna be like a permanent departure from his normal life? Not that his normal life was anything to write home about, getting into fights with his parents all the time and trying to live on his own wasn't something he particularly dreamed of, but he couldn't imagine just throwing it to the wayside.
Wait, yeah he could.
"Where's this go?" He asked, gesturing vaguely toward the hallway. He might as well get invested in this awakening, since he was already committed to it. His mom always told him to ask questions.
