[So basically, this video starts off staring at a wall. But if you think it's just any wall, you're WRONG.

It's a BLANK WALL.

And it continues to stream this same picture for a moment until something starts sliiiiding into the view. By the way, if you think it's Izaya, you're also wrong.

Instead, it's a full length mirror that, also eventually shown, is being shoved into place by this Orihara. Apparently satisfied with its new location, he grins and finally picks up the communication device. This makes the entire feed a little more obvious now.

Izaya is standing in his bathroom -- now between the mirror he just moved, and the mirror already on the wall. He finally speaks:]

Hey, so, I've can't stop thinking about those mirrors...has anyone else found some way to deter them or anything?

Um...

What are you trying to do?

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

...Isn't it obvious?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

No.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

The prospect of being watched is kinda...meh, you know? [because someone is a huge hypocrite like whoa]

So I thought this would be the easiest way to prevent it.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

By making them look at each other?

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Exactly. If they're gonna watch me, they're gonna watch themselves watching me.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

...But don't you always watch people?

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Youuu...mean like on here?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

No way, that's completely different since they mean to have someone watch it then.

Most of the time. That also can't be helped~

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

So you don't watch things you shouldn't?

[Somehow...somehow he doesn't believe that. :|]

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Well if I see it before I know that I'm not supposed to have...that's the part that can't be helped. Or maybe part of the part. You understand, right?

[Basically you better hope you never have some random accidental videos, Yuu. This bitch will know. :|]

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

....Yeah, I think so.

[And what he understands is that he needs to keep his camera in a drawer when he's not using it.]

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

Cover them up.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[WELL PLAYED, MA'AM.]

I think that's a little too horror for my tastes if I keep every mirror I come across covered. Is that what you do?

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

I cover the ones in my room. If you try to break or remove them, they come back.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Yeah...yeah, I noticed that. But they can still listen in right?

Or if I throw a sheet over the thing does the power of 100% cotton somehow remedy the situation?

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

They can still listen.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's still kind of....eh. Though maybe if you actually put something in front of the mirrors, something you wouldn't be able to hear through anyway, like a dresser?

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

That's one way to do it.

Did you meet your mirror?

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't. ...Did you?

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

No. Apparently she was around though.

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, she definitely was.

[And just because someone is a major jackass.] She makes some damn good cupcakes too.

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

.......... [Just this face]

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

She was cute? [As that obviously makes the situation better.]
