Through the Looking Glass: Chapter Two

First topic message reminder :

As soon as Kaylr rolled over, Merith pounced again, going to bash his head with a swift kick from the side.

"but but.. HOW?!" Steven sputtered.

Mourn grinned. "No tell you, my secret!" He cackled.

"I think he's bluffing." Will nodded.

"Challenge? I can fix your robot now, prove it." Mourn challenged.

"Uh.. no.. no thanks.. we uh.. no." Steven looked at mirror Asher warily. Eugh, no laws, that wouldn't be good for them at all.

Mourn looked at Sawna "Asked to stop reading, wouldn't stop. Did no want to remember. " He glared at the techs. "You see what Canid do, why you try to make me remember? I no want remember. Better no remember all hurt... and fear.. and pain. " He growled.

"Uh.. girl.. please... you.. you're making him mad." Steven backed away from Mourn.

"Look, we.. we're sorry okay, we were.. curious, we didn't think about it!" Will protested.

"You read files yes?" Mourn asked.

Will nodded "well.. most of it."

"then understand. Better forget! Encrypted those memories, no going back, never seeing them. No remember what they did."

"you encrypted the memories?" Steven asked. "you.. you can do that?"

Mourn nodded. "Now need forget files."

Matt nodded. "I'll go find him a change of clothes."

Mirror Asher watched the two techs, amused. "You guys aren't even sure I won't hurt you now, so what difference would a bit of code make?" He looked at Mourn, fascinated. "Encrypted memories? Man, I would kill to be able to do that."

"Thanks," James said, smiling slightly. "I'm sure he'll appreciate that."

Mourn nodded. "Other you was sad he couldn't do either. " he shrugged "Not sure how works, way brain works confusing." He laughed. "Even for me." He nodded.

"Yeah, definitely. He's seriously the sort to get changed in the bathroom so nobody can see him naked." Matt shook his head. "Pissed us all off so much as kids, like.. dude, there's 5 of us and one bathroom, get the hell out here." Matt found himself not quite able to laugh, too worried about his brother. "yeah.. clothes" He went to go find clothing then.

Mirror Asher snorted. "He wants to be able to encrypt himself? Ha."
He looked at the techs again. Man, it was weird how they kept not ordering him to do leave them alone. Did they not realize they could, or did they secretly like watching him?

James smiled softly. "Hey Matt, it's gonna be okay. We'll get through this together. All of us."
