[Stephanie] You know, you could have used the door
3 / 128
my parents went to work.
4 / 128
[Skulduggery] Doors are for people with no imagination.
5 / 128
May I come in?
6 / 128
7 / 128
[Steph] Yeah, you better

before a neighbour thinks we bought ourselves a gargoyle for the roof.

11 / 128
12 / 128
13 / 128
Are you sure no one saw you?
14 / 128
15 / 128
16 / 128
[Skul] Oh please.
17 / 128
You're hardly concerned when I hold a flame in my hands
18 / 128
19 / 128
but don't trust my exhaustive experience with sneaking around?
20 / 128
Oh, so I was supposed to assume you've broken into houses before?
21 / 128
Part and parcel for magic detective work.
22 / 128
Anyway, I have something for you.
23 / 128
24 / 128
25 / 128
[Steph] uh...
26 / 128
27 / 128
Thank...you...
28 / 128
Where is your fascinated tone from yesterday? Go on, use it on your mirror.
29 / 128
I'm sorry?
30 / 128
You do have a full-length mirror, right?
31 / 128
Y-yeah...?
32 / 128
33 / 128
[Skul] Draw this symbol on it.
34 / 128

[Skul] Splendid.
51 / 128
Surface speak, surface feel, surface think, surface real.
52 / 128
53 / 128
54 / 128
55 / 128
56 / 128
Could you wipe the symbol off now, please?
57 / 128
58 / 128
59 / 128
60 / 128
Did you cast a spell on my mirror?
61 / 128
[Skul] Indeed, I did.
62 / 128
What does it do?
63 / 128
64 / 128
65 / 128
66 / 128
You'll see. Touch the mirror.

Oh...

my god.
80 / 128
Oh my god!

It will carry on with your life while you're away, so you won't be missed. For the most part, it will mimic all of your behaviours.
82 / 128
83 / 128
[Skul] It will have an uncanny effect on people.
84 / 128
Won't fool a mage, but it's enough for your needs.
85 / 128
86 / 128
She's me!
87 / 128
No, not 'she'. It. Have you been paying any atte--
88 / 128
Say something.
89 / 128
[Skul] *Sigh*
90 / 128
What do you want me to say?
91 / 128
[Giddy laugh]
92 / 128
[whispered:] You sound just like me.
93 / 128
I know.
94 / 128
Do you have a name?
95 / 128
My name is Stephanie.
96 / 128
No, a name of your own.
97 / 128
Remember, this is not a person. Just an imitation of you.
98 / 128
An exact imitation, or a mirrored imitation?
99 / 128
Oh good, you were listening.
100 / 128
Yes, mirrored.
101 / 128
So don't put anything on, like logos or watches
102 / 128
that make it plain obvious you bought a factory dud.
103 / 128
Guess it's a good thing I don't have a mole on my face, or a scar.
104 / 128
I can think of at least one colleague with scars who complained about this in his early years.
105 / 128
Oh, and when it's time for you to return to your life, it will step in the mirror. If you touch it, its memories will become your own.
106 / 128
[Steph] Wow. I can be in two places at once.
[Skul] Precisely.
107 / 128
108 / 128
[Skul] Speaking of people with scars, we have an appointment to get to.
109 / 128
Are you ready to go?
110 / 128
111 / 128
112 / 128
113 / 128
[Skul] Do you want to leave by door... or by window?
114 / 128
Doors are for people with no imagination.
115 / 128
116 / 128
117 / 128

Bye!

127 / 128
Bye.
