Scene #69: Mirror, Mirror

Owner	Pose
Mio Morita	Its been a busy week at school. So busy that Mio hasn't even been able to cook off her baked goods let alone go to the park and sell them. Still, Mio has been working with the Hero Club to help people out. So her personal quest to bring hope to people hasn't exactly been for naught. School is out for the day and Mio doesn't have to be at Hero Club tonight. In fact this is one of the rare nights that she can spend some time in her dorm. She has straightened things up, making sure it is nice and homely. Part of her was thinking about baking a little bit but first, she goes to her room and gets changed into something that isn't the school sailor uniform. So she gets changed. Once dressed she checks herself over in her full length mirror. "Looking good tonight! I'm totally going to make some taiyaki tonight." She grins.
Mochi	After Mio turns away from the mirror, though, she hears a sound like someone knocking on a glass window. Coming from behind her. And when she looks to see the source of the sound, at her mirror, she will no longer see her own reflection at all. Instead it looks like a tall man with Blue hair and eyes - bright eyes like the sun reflecting off the ocean. "Hello. Morita-san. Or maybe I should say Cure Daybreak? I'm so happy someone with such a good and strong heart came upon one of the stones. My name is Blue. May I come inside?" He asks, gesturing to her dorm room on the other side of the mirror.
Mio Morita	Well this is quite the shock. She had never seen anyone travel through a mirror. "EEP!" She lets out a little shout. Thankfully her roommate isn't in. She recovers fairly quickly and actually goes for her prechan mirror. She stops and looks at the figure in the mirror. "Wait... you are the one who gave me the weird stone that turned into the prechan mirror and the cards." "Oh umm. Nice to meet you Blue-sama." She doesn't know Blue is a god. But she does know to be polite. Especially to the guy talking through a mirror. "Oh umm. Yes. By all means." She bows politely and steps out of the way. "Forgive me but how are you doing the mirror thing? That is really weird. Creepy even." She smiles a little. smile as she tries to figure things out.
Mochi	"I'm sorry." He begins, his hands upturned. "I did try to reach out some other places, but this was one of the few places I felt like it might potentially not be awkward. Humans really like to put mirrors in odd places." After Mio's invitation he stepped through, wearing dress pants and a dress shirt that looked like he gave up on buttoning it a button or two early. "And yes! I put those stones into the world to try and find a few more worthy souls to help me. As you may have noticed the Earth is under a sort of siege from enemies who have aligned themselves together and weild darkness, bringing suffering. And despite being a god, my ability to directly intervene is limited. But I can give others the tools to Intervene on my behalf. Like you!"
Mio Morita	"You're a god?! Okay that is a bit of a shocker. That explains how the stone changed into the mirror and the cards." She smiles. "And that's how I became a Pretty Cure!" She grins. "So what do you want me to do, Blue-sama? I already fought one monster and that guy that looked like a general. "Would you like to step out into the the main room? I can make some tea." She smiles and gestures out of her bedroom. "It is a pleasure to officially meet you. I assume that you are here on business?" She asks curiously as she heads to the kettle and gets it heating.
Mochi	Blue nods when she asks if he's here on business. "I was able to witness your transformation and battle, yes." He says, moving with her, into whatever room she's comfortable having him in. He knows he's a bit of an intruder into her space, but he certainly wasn't going to say hello to her by crawling out of a bathroom mirror. "I'm sure you have many questions and part of why I wanted to come by is to answer what I can. And, introduce myself. Being able to knock on a mirror to try to reach out to someone for help is not something I suspect you would do naturally." He explains. "Oh, and to introduce you to Pin." He says, as the little fairy suddenly floats up from behind him and towards Mio!
Mio Morita	The little panda-esque fairy is orange and white with a cute hair pin in its hair. She flies over to Mio smiling the whole way. "Hello Mio! Nice to meet you. Blue-sama said you could use some help so here I am!" She smiles and starts looking around. "Oh this is a nice dorm! Its clean and pretty. Hey Can I have some tea too?" She asks curiously. "Oh umm! Sure!" She pulls the kettle off and gets out some teabags. "I have some Oolong and some darjeeling. Would either interest you." Pin smiles and nods excitedly. "Oolong sounds lovely!" She goes flying for a cup. "Blue-sama? Okay what do you need me to do. Whats the rules of being a pretty cure I guess. Umm not that I am complaining about having a new friend, but why a fairy?" She asks curiously. There are plenty of questions she has to ask but where to start?
Mochi	"Well, traditionally most Pretty Cures know a fairy. They serve as partners and links to the mirror world in some ways. Much better than having me drop a big guide on the desk and tell you to read it. Or, well, much better for most girls." Blue notes offhandedly. "Also, friendship and caring about others amps your powers up." "Expectation? Well you wouldn't have been able to get the mirror out of the stone if you didn't have the right heart to meet expectations. Simply - fight evil, save the innocent, save the world. To that end, I've ensured you have great powers. And they will only grow with you and with your friendships." "I only have one rule for those under my watch."he holds up a single slender finger and gets more serious than Mio has seen since she first saw him in the mirror. "No falling in love."
Mio Morita	"I can do this!" Pin smiles and a book floats out of the ladybug backpack on her back. "This holds special cards! You can get them by fighting creatures of darkness! If you get them all, you can exchange them for a wish!" She says excitedly. "A wish..."Mio trails off. Already her mind starts wondering to what she would even wish for. "Ummm I will have to remember to fight along side friends then. Like Megumi. She seems really smart about all of this." She grins. And then there is the rule. That rule is a harsh one, especially for anyone her age. "I... I will try not to fall in love with anyone. I can't promise anything because the heart wants what the heart wants. But I will try to follow the rule."
Mochi	"It's not a rule just because, Mio-san." Blue adds. "It's there because when relationships go wrong... well, just like I said. You draw power from connections to others but... if those connections are severed in a bad way, like romantic relationships often are... It can lead to tragedy for you. And tragedy for you can become a tragedy for the entire world." "Yes, pin is correct. A fully finished album of Pretty Cure cards is a powerful artifact that can make a miracle come to pass, so you should think about what your wish would be." He offers, somewhat changing the subject. "And yes. Megumi also possesses a strong heart and is a loyal ally." He smiles. "Do you have any other questions I can answer while I'm here? Otherwise I can leave you with the very capable guidance of Pin."
Mio Morita	"I will have to really think about what to wish for." She comments as she thinks on it a little. "I understand but love can also be very a good thing, can't it?" She asks curiously. "I think I am good now. I think I have all the info I need and if I have anymore questions I can just ask Pin, right? Did you want any tea?" She asks as she pours some hot water into a cup. "Its up to you."
Mochi	Blue laughs softly. "Since I'm the one who barged into your dorm room through what is absolutely not a normal entrance for you, and handed you a new friend you weren't expecting... Well, I appreciate the gesture but I'm going to leave before anyone hears you taking to a guy and calls someone over about that." He nods. "But it won't be the last time we met and perhaps next time it'll be in a place that's a little less awkward for tea, and we'll have more time to talk too. Thank you though. For the offer... And for joining the fight. The world will need you, Mio-san. You and those like you are the protectors who prevent the future of this world from becoming terrible misery." He takes a bow and heads back to step through the mirror he entered through - like it's not an odd way to enter or exit a place.
Mio Morita	Mio takes a sip of her tea. She looks over at Pin who has already drank all hers and gone for seconds. "Blue-sama is really peculiar." She comments after the Earth god leaves. "He is but he is really nice." Pin responds while chugging down all the tea in her cup. "Are you sure your name isn't Oolong?" Mio asks with a giggle, seeing how fast she is taking down the tea. One thing is for certain, the night just got a lot more interesting. "I will do my best Blue-sama." She states even though the man already left. "I'm going to fight for everyone and collect the cards. I'm going to find my wish and I am going to achieve it! I can't wait!"
