@luz miller uh, i did that shrine thing with some newspapers concerning me and the newspapers all said i died. so, getting out of that "image prison" might be a good idea.

This "whole thing" with the reflections is NOT settled, @Miranda Ashdove. I think @miJ giB has made his intentions perfectly clear! What is this "templating" he describes? Obviously, once they get the Catalog of Body Movements totally uploaded into the Mirror World, they will OWN us on both sides.

Complacency is our greatest enemy. Don't believe that we're what you see in the mirror. They want us all to believe we're just these ants inside a giant machine, pushing buttons, going up stairs, sitting in chairs, rolling our big dung balls around. Don't stand for it! We are NOT what they've programmed our lives and bodies to be. We are more!

Starting today, every student needs to create a shrine to break themselves out of this psychic noose that's being closed around us. Pick a mirror, and around it place all the pictures of yourself you can find. Then gather all the surveillance video of yourself that you can (the library is helpful for that) and play it in screens around the mirror. When all of that is in place, spend 30 minutes a day in front of it, and soon you'll be able to step out of the Image Prison we're getting tricked into. Do it today!!!

@Miranda Ashdove Are you taking rune magic too? Heard that it was kind of hard, I start class next Monday.

Glad I joined the school after that whole thing was settled. What a mess. I haven't joined many classes but I plan on studying Demonology and Ancient Witchcraft. Rune magic might be fun as well. I'm going to sign up right now!

I've been spending all my time looking in the mirror, and observing myself through surveillance cameras, old family photos, google earth, in the background of television news reports, reality shows...

I have come to the conclusion that I am not the person in the mirror, or on the screen. Which means I'm also not the person that's being reflected either. Or I'm both the person in the reflection and the person being reflected. Which means I'm not really either of them.

So while the Mirror World claims one part, and the Dean is claiming the other with the Catalog of Body Movements, where am I really?

I am disgusted. The Dean has made the Psychic Student Rights Handbook a joke.

The addendum added just this week:

"All magical intellectual property created by students during their time at Psychic High School will be considered the property of Psychic High School. By attending Psychic High School you also hereby provide Psychic High School the rights to all other magical, psychic, mystic, arcane, parapsychological, mythic, and otherwise unusual work product created by you during the course of this lifetime, and lifetimes transmigrationally related, in perpetuity."

The school has rights to EVERYTHING I've ever done? Or will do?

By stealing my Catalog of Body Movements, and sharing it with the Mirror World, it's obvious the Dean is making a play to corner the reality market. And @miJ giB has been completely transparent about his plans. With both of them working together - and using the power of the Catalog - there's literally nothing they won't own. Every single moment we use is described and captured in that book. And now the Dean and @miJ giB can capture us inside all those moments.

DON'T look in the mirrors. DON'T allow yourselves to be reflected. And whatever you do, DON'T engage in any of the body movements that you usually use. For instance, I'm typing this while standing on one foot. Then, I'm going to walk sideways to my room, sit down on the carpet, and sleep with one arm on a chair. I strongly encourage you to do the same.

Dear Diary,
Well, today the infirmary staff, draped in iridescent robes, whispered in my mind that all the Mirror World bullshit has blown over and it's safe to look in the mirror again, blah blah blah. Thank God.
So I'm back in the game, studying shards of pottery from dead civilizations, reading over my runes until my eyes bleed, downing can after can of Red Bull, waiting to take my finals. They're giving me extended time because of all the quarantine stuff, which is great. I need all the time I can get.
The other Veronica, @Veronica V. Vincent , seemed really happy to see me again. She always speaks in an OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC TONE, which I honestly find really, really, creepy.
Maybe we'll start our own clique. Like at my old school, those three girls all named Heather, a triumvirate of mythic bitches.
All we need is a third Veronica.
Well, dear Diary, I've got thirty minutes until finals begin, and I need all the luck I can get, seeing that luck hasn't exactly been on my side lately.
Happy days are here again,
Veronica Sawyer

Hey students! Great news!

Hostilities with the Mirror World are now over. Through delicate and artful negotiations by our very own dean, Dean Hammer, Psyhigh is now once again on warm and friendly terms with the denizens of the Mirror World.

This means it's now safe to look in the mirror again! Which I am sure will have a very positive effect on everyone's general appearance. In fact, the Dean suggests that everyone spend as much time as possible in front of mirrors from now on. Please set up large, floor length mirrors throughout your dorms, dorm rooms, houses, public transportation, fast food restaurants, and coffee shops, and go about your daily routines. Free mirrors will be provided at Mirror Stations, Mirror Carts, and Mirror Tents being set up tonight all over campus. Take as many as you like!

If you didn't get your reflection rewritten, no problem. That assignment is no longer required. Also, students should review the changes recently made to the Psychic Student Rights Handbook concerning ownership of magical intellectual property created by students while at school.

Sincerely,

Big Jim
Student Activities Coordinator
Class of '99

It's true I had to put it in a mirror to read it. But "special arrangement?" No one mentioned anything to me about a "special arrangement." The only thing "special" about it was that the Dean was going to keep the Catalog of Body Movements safe. He has no permission to do anything with it. IT IS NOT HIS. What is going on, @Big Jim??!!!
