[The feed clicks on to show Chloe sitting outside somewhere, still within City limits. She smiles as she looks at the camera before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.] So, I've sort of been thinking. I've seen some people mention wanting to make a guide for new people? I'm... Well, uh, I'm still pretty new here myself, but I think it'd be a nice thing to work on. [Keep it short and sweet, Chloe. Don't ramble on.] But hey, brochures and stuff are kind of boring, and we've got our handy-dandy communicators here plus the network. It shouldn't be too hard to make it an electronic file, maybe even with interview clips or something put together.

Something interactive, is what I'm getting at. [Plus she'd totally like to direct it. Even if it sounds pretty boring and lame in comparison to an actual movie.] If that would interest people, may--

[There's a pause as Chloe looks up and grins at... well, nothing anyone can see.] No, I'm sorry. You can sit here. [Another long pause as she moves over a bit. It's almost like she is having a conversation with someone.] Do you need help? [She sounds concerned before she looks at the netbook and simply closes it.]

The mirror?

[scintillates]

Yes! [There's a pause where she looks like she is thinking, before a sort of 'AHAH' expression takes it over]

Mirror, mirror, shining bright
Show me a pixie, small and light.

[And then she screws up her face] Well, it seems like my rhymes are just as terrible as ever. But look! [She leans forward, and in the mirror is a perfect rendition of a pixie picking up Danielle to deposit her on a aviar]

[undeadarmies]

[She doesn't even attempt to hide her laughter at the rhyme because. Really? That's just plain ridiculous, Snow.

But then the mirror shows her the image of a pixie in action, as good as any blockbuster film she's ever seen. Her eyes widen.]

Th-the demi-demon... She told me that fairies were a product of human imagination. [Her voice is low as she says that, as if she's afraid people will hear.]

[scintillates]

[Snow's cheeks turn a little red, but she's laughing too] Look, you try to come up with a decent rhyme on the spot!

[She taps a finger against the mirror, and the image disappeared. A faint ache at the back of her head makes her expression tighten slightly, but she's soon all smiles again] Did everyone ever teach you? The first rule of demons is to not trust demons.

[undeadarmies]

[she holds up her hands.] Look, I'm not a poet.

[Chloe makes a face.] She didn't have any reason to lie to me. [But she knows that Snow is right.] I held all the cards.

[scintillates]

[A giggle] I think it's pretty clear that neither am I. Still, whatever works, works, right?

Demons don't tend to need reasons, really. They have a very unsettling idea of fun. [a pause] I'm not judging, by the way! How did you manage to get one up on her?

[undeadarmies]

I guess so. It's just kind of funny to see someone using rhymes for spells. [A pause.] It's usually Latin.

[She makes a face, thinks about the demon master who had been interested in her.] Tell me about it. [A nervous laugh.] I-I-I just... happened to have the key to her freedom.
