[Still no mission! But there's a couple things of note. Santa was gone yesterday, but now he's apparently come back to his house. And there might be familiar faces going into the Toy Factory. Other than that, though, there's nothing really different. It may also be of interest that there doesn't seem to be any repercussions for doing nothing yesterday...]

Comments

[shy_kindness]

[The Flutters begin to notice that the room is getting crowded by a giant snake. 'Shy pauses from the mouth washing and glances over to the snake with a pleasant smile on her face.]

Excuse me. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Snake, but it's getting just a teeny bit crowded in here. I hope you don't mind waiting outside...?

[vexed_snake]

[Venosnaker seems to mind waiting outside, and to voice this irritation, spits a bit of acid. Sure, that toilet is now destroyed, but the good news is that Asakura won't be able to use it to give anyone a swirly later on.

Asakura's sputtering because of the soap, but he's using Venosnaker's distraction to hold that purple box up so the mirror can see. He's wearing a very unusual silver belt now.]

He's here for me.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy's kind of in the middle of something. She's going to repeat herself firmly. And with The Stare.]

Would you mind waiting outside, please?

[vexed_snake]

[Sorry, boss, you're on your own. There's an audible whimper from the snake, and he slithers right back into that mirror. At least it brought Asakura the chance he needed to spit out some more soap.]

Henshin.

[He's slid that purple box into his belt, and...however will you clean his mouth out now that he's transformed into Ouja and is wearing armor that matches that snake so nicely?]

[shy_kindness]

[Woah, when did he change into that? Fluttershy blinks. Then recovers quickly, her Gaze turning back into The Stare.]

Not so fast, mister! Just because you're in a costume, it doesn't mean that's going to keep you out of receiving your punishment for doing those awful, horrible things!

[vexed_snake]

[He'd felt pretty good about where this was going until The Stare had been whipped out. NOT AGAIN. Asakura's initial reaction is to freeze in place, although he's slowly trying to inch towards that mirror.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy's still doing The Stare as she reaches out to take the mask off.]

You need to take that mask off!

[vexed_snake]

[He's still trying to get to that mirror and away from The Stare.]

You can't just take it off...

[And one of his hands is moving protectively towards his belt buckle. Could that be how to turn the armor off? Spoilers: yes.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy notices the hand go to the belt, but doesn't put 2 and 2 together. Better be quick before she does.]

Take it off, or in addition to finishing washing your mouth out and putting you in a time out, I'm going to make you publicly apologize to everyone here.

[Her voice is strict and firm, like an angry mother.]

[vexed_snake]

[He is still inching towards the mirror...although with the way his hand is resting on the belt, he still might de-transform.]

I'm not apologizing to anyone.

[He's got to think of a way out of this...]

You know, I actually saved someone once. A little girl.

[He did! He really did! Sure, it was only to use her as future monster bait, but Fluttershy didn't need to know that.]

[shy_kindness]

...You're right. You'll be apologizing to everyone.

[That second thing? That's very surprising. The Stare softens up into a cheerful smile.]

You saved somepony? That was a very good thing you did! That' a good start, but you need to do that more often!

[Fluttershy is now officially distracted. Fluttercruel... is still keeping a close eye on him.]

[vexed_snake]

[Oh, good, he got The Stare to stop. That makes it easier to think. He can so milk saving that little girl if he has to; a similar act got a reporter to bring him his younger brother so he could finish the job of offing his family.]

That's right...I saved her from some attacking monsters.

[He's still trying to get to that mirror now, so close...okay, he's making a break for it. Jumping into that mirror is jumping to FREEDOM.]

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttershy is about to say something else, but then Asakura jumped into that mirror. Fluttercruel takes control.]

Oh no, you bucking don't!

[She tries following in pursuit, only to smack into the Mirror because she can't enter them. She rubs her nose a little.]

The buck...?

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura's got his back turned to the mirror as he gives a lazy wave goodbye. As much as he'd like to see that look of outrage, he needs to get out of there without landing on the receiving end of The Stare again.]

Even if you could get in here, you wouldn't last long.

[Which is the truth, even if the tone of his voice makes it sound like he's just being an ass about it. If you're not a Mirror Monster or a transformed Rider, getting into the Mirror World is a fatal one-way trip.]

[cruel_kindness]

['Cruel slams the mirror with a hoof, hoping to harm the jackass. It might not work, though.]

Damn it!

[vexed_snake]

[Good luck getting at him now, Fluttercruel. This is one of his favorite ways to get out of prison.]

Careful, there. You might upset a Mirror Monster.

[He's still refusing to turn around as he walks away into the mirror bathroom, but something resembling a gigantic mechanical pink manta ray has hovered into view and is looking at the Flutters from the opposite side of the mirror.]

1/2

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel catches that and looks behind her. Woah... Okay, there's nothing behind her. She'll just return to glaring at Asakura and saying a very foul-sounding insult to him.]

2/2

[cruel_kindness]

[And then she remembers. The water's running. And she's still holding soap. And she just said something very foul.]

Oh no no no no no please don't I won't say that ever again please don't pleeeeaaaaase!

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura is now in hysterics. He's leaning on the manta ray to support himself.]

[shy_kindness]

[By now, Fluttershy has taken control, put a towel over the mirror, and is now washing Fluttercruel's mouth out with soap. Yes, that IS possible.]

[vexed_snake]

[There's a bit more laughter, but it sounds like it's fading into the distance. When Fluttershy uncovers that mirror again, Asakura will be long gone.]
