After a nice break, Anura takes you to a corner of the room with a large mirror.
Charon: This legitimate? Seems ancient..
Anura: Real blessed silver.
The appearance is entirely fogged up, at best you can see the corners of the background around the edges.
Charon: Can't see my reflection...
Anura: It's how you know it's working.. So, shall we give it a spin?
Charon: Take lead.
Anura gives the mirror a little bow before stepping aside.
The image clears up, you can see through the break area of the safehouse. A familiar rabbit stands directly in front, with Opera in the corner eating a breakfast sandwich.
Mercury: Yo Charon's here, he's got a rat with him-
Opera: What?!
Mercury: Yeah, you know anything about-
The sea bunny is immediately shoved aside.
Opera: Charon?! Is everything alright? Why is Styx in the front?!
Charon: I'm fine, at my grandfather's place...
Opera: You mean like, Arabis or...
Charon: Actual grandfather, not several times great-
Opera: Wait what. Like, Erica's-
Charon: Mm..
Anura: It's more complicated than that but-
Opera: Is that him behind you...?
Charon: Mm..
Mercury: Rat...
Charon: Yes.
Mercury: He's kinda cute not gonna lie-
Anura: Accounted for.
Mercury: Shame, got any friends?
Anura: Perhaps..
Charon: Need you both to stop.
Mercury: Sorry.. where are you though actually?
Opera: Yeah, are you in the castle or..?
Charon: In some kind of rift, a pocket between worlds of sort not too unlike the one we dealt with. I've got a bit of a request.
There's a little sigh let out, cat visibly a little on edge.
Opera: ...Okay, sure.
Charon: I want you to come with me, there's something deeply wrong here and it's tied to what happened back then.
The cat turns quiet.
Charon: I know its a lot to ask and you've got plenty on your plate-
Opera: No, if this can help us out with all that we're about to take on I've got you. Just... should I tell Geezer?
Mercury: I can handle that for you, can we keep communications going if we gotta?
Anura: We can! I have a handheld mirror for this purpose I can dig up.
Mercury: Cool, anyone else I should fill in?
Charon: Just Geezer for now, he can make good judgment on how to handle details from there. Prioritize our old crew first though..
Opera: So no Bucket?
Charon: I need a break from Bucket if I'm frank, If I have to fight them one more time I'm taking them to the ground.
Anura:...Bucket is out there?
Charon: Mm..
Anura: I see.. second limiting distribution of details for now, lot to process and well... topic for another time.
You give the rat a hand on the shoulder.
Anura: I apologize..
Charon: You're fine. So, Opera?
Opera: Merc?
Mercury: Go ahead, I'll handle the house from here. Keep Geezer and Bucket from killing each other...
Charon: Mm..
Opera: Then take me away.
He reach a hand out through the mirror, Opera latches on before you yank her through the other side.
She stumbles a bit, Paige's head poking out irritated from the cloak on her shoulder.
Charon: Looks like we woke them up...
Opera: He'll be fine, right buddy?
Paige gives the two of you a sulky energy before making their way over to the couch with Rook.
Charon: They can have their time I suppose..
Opera: Mm..
Her fur visibly stands a little bit too on closer glance.
Charon: You gonna be alright?
Opera: Hate going into places like these, you can always feel something big watching you..
Anura: I assure you that's just a docile psychofauna...
Opera: I don't like that you got a term for that.
The rat gave her a shrug.
Anura: Occupational hazard.
Opera: Feel that a bit too much. So uh.. Merc?
The rabbit gives you a thumbs up.
Mercury: I'll keep a tab as much as I can, fill you in as things play out. Sound good?
Opera: Yeah, trusting you big here!
Mercury: I know, you kids stay safe in there.
Charon: As much as we can.
Mercury:... Right. I'm on standby then, anytime call in.
The mirror's glass cloud up instantly.
Anura points directly at the cat.
Anura: You look overworked, you should get a little rest yourself while you're here.
Opera: Charon?
Charon: He won't take no, promised him I would anyway.
Opera: Guess we're on break then...
She looks you up and down and gives you the slightest frown.
Opera: It's only been like a couple of hours dude..
Charon: Time operates differently in here...
Opera: So how long-
Charon: Two days.
She immediately gives you a big hug.
You awkwardly return it.
Opera: You can't just do that...
Charon: I know.. that's why I'm asking for help.
Opera: Don't wait next time things get rough..
Charon: I'm sorry.
She looks over to Anura.
Anura: Something on your mind?
Opera: You're an entity.
Anura: Mm, you are correct..
Opera: Feels hard to believe. Don't... really like being around them much if I'm honest but...
Opera: You're different.
Anura: Every entity is... I don't blame you for your caution however.
Opera: And Charon's got some stuff going on too..
Opera: You took care of my friend so.. as long as ya'll can give me space when I need I can try to trust you.
Anura: I won't let it be misplaced..
She gives him a quiet little nod before walking you over to the couch.
Charon: What's up?
Opera: Making sure you get your rest too, your proxy's got the right idea.
Charon: This legitimate? Seems ancient..
Anura: Real blessed silver.
