Mae Borowski | Night in the Woods

[maedae]

the network

... You know, if someone had told me that falling down a hole would drop us into Wonderland, I would have thought that they were insane, but all things considered, this might be the least disturbing thing that has happened to me this week.

[This message is being brought to you by... a very disgruntled cat that kind of wrinkles her nose at the device here?]

I can't believe a fictional world from a children's story has better cellphone reception than Possum Springs. How is that even possible? ... No internet on here though, so I guess that's one thing that makes home more appealing than it has any right to be.

... So anyway, how do I leave this place? Do I have to jump into another rabbit hole? Or... find a hole in the sky to climb back up through?

around the mansion

[Mae Borowski has acquired a baseball bat. And when Mae has a baseball bat in her hands, things tend to break on the receiving end of it.

There are no convenience store lights or cars to smash with it here, though.

... Some of the mirrors will have to do.

As such, anyone who comes across her can catch her in the act of lifting a baseball bat into the air, preparing to swing it as hard as she can at a mirror on the wall. Will you try to stop her, or simply watch to see what happens?]

[In return, Mae gets a bird who is more interested in the book he's holding in his wings than the device he's replying with.]

You wait until Wonderland sends you back.

[maedae]

[... That sure is a bird that's talking to us. Huh.]

"Wait"? That's it? That's all we can do?

[...]

You're joking, right?

[mourning_ghost]

I'm not. No one knows how to leave but Wonderland eventually sends up back home.

[maedae]

"Eventually"?

... And you're sure that's not just fancy talk for "we're screwed" here.

Around the mansion

[literalvillainball]

[Excuse you, why are you smashing all the mirrors? It's worse than people breaking monitors! Reckless!]

[So here, on the mirror next to the one Mae's gonna smash, this Mirror will quickly write the following on the surface in bold marker with robotic precision.]

Hey, cat girl. You know those mirrors are rather expensive pieces of furniture, so if you would stop smashing them that would be great.

[maedae]

The eff?

[That gets Mae to lower her bat... but only slightly, still keeping it up in a defensive position.]

Is that mirror actually talking to me?

[literalvillainball]

[The writing is wiped away so that a new message may appear.]

Well, actually, someone on the other side of the mirror is talking to you, and he would like you to stop breaking mirrors.

I mean, they're not even your mirrors to break! It's vandalism! Pure vandalism!

How would you like it if I went into your room and smashed all your stuff to bits? You'd be furious! And rightly so!

[maedae]

... The mirror is actually talking to me.

[THAT'S WHAT SHE TOOK AWAY FROM THIS, SORRY WHEATLEY]

I mean I guess it was a matter of time before I would begin a slow descent into madness in this place, but I didn't think it'd be that fast.

[literalvillainball]

[This is not Wheatley. This is Wheatley's mirror. He likes to call himself by another name, but we haven't been properly introduced, have we?]

You think this is madness?

Funny, how your little feline brain didn't think that other people might have seen writing on the mirrors before. I mean, you read the pamphlet, right?

[maedae]

[Wow, fuck you buddy for calling our brain lit--wait.]

You guys have pamphlets?

... And you actually expect people to read them!?

[literalvillainball]

YES

What else is a pamphlet for?

[Oh my god, do you seriously not go to the library you stupid cat?!]

[maedae]

Something to swat flies with while you're stuck in the world's most boring waiting room?

[literalvillainball]

[WOW.]

Well, you can just wander over to the library, go pick up a pamphlet, and educate yourself about the Mirrors who will be spying on you living alongside you.

[Freudian slip. Whoops.]

[maedae]

Or, I could break all of these mirrors and prevent you guys from spying on me. That sounds way more appealing.

[She noticed that slip and she still has a bat in her hands, buddy...]

[literalvillainball]

DON'T DO THAT!!!

[maedae]

Then give me a good reason why I should reconsider. Otherwise prepare to get personally acquainted with my little friend... Batty McBatterson.

Okay never mind that's a stupid nickname, but you get what I mean here.
