Matthias pouted and just sat on the ground cross-legged. "Yeah, that's really great!" He provided a thumbs-up at Michael.

Asura flipped the small mirror over in his hands a couple of times. "Do you know how to use one of these?"

Michael smiled, hyped up a little on caffeine and glad that he wouldn't be stuck being useless all day. "Yeah I know how to use it."

He smiled back. "Who wants to go first?"

"Well it sounds like a fun acid trip if I've ever had one. Let's go then!" Matt jumped up in excitement and started lightly bouncing like a little kid.

"Me!" Michael walked forward, stumbling a little but catching himself before he could fall

"Woah easy-there land-lubber. Gotta unlearn your 'sea-legs' now huh?" Matt kept his hands out in case Michael might eat shit on the floor.

Asura froze, looking back and forth between the two. His gaze landed on Michael. "You sure you can do this?" He asked, looking at his barely functional legs.

"Don't patronize me, I'm fine. Now let's get through this stupid mirror."

"Alright," he said with a shrug, holding the mirror out for him to take. "Once you're in the parallel dimension, I'm going to need you to put it in a dimensional pocket that we can all access, that way we can all make it across with the one mirror."

"Sweet. I can do that. Who's going first?"

Asura stared at him for a moment before speaking. "Considering that I'm holding out this mirror in your direction, you're going first, Einstein."

"Okay, yeah." A purple diamond with a yellow eye in its center flickered over his forehead. The lights flashed for a moment, and Michael was gone

Asura sighed, then reached into the dimensional pocket for the mirror. He cursed. "It's not not there," he said.

“What?!?!?!”

He searched again. "Maybe he hasn't put the mirror in yet."

(hi sorry I had to weld) The lights flickered again, and the mirror reappeared in the pocket

He finally got ahold of it, and brought it out. "Okay, Lavender, your turn."

Lavender hesitated. "So I just teleport out? where will I land?"

"In the exact same spot, just in a different universe," he said, patting her back gently. "You'll be fine, don't worry."

Lavender swallowed.

Thirty seconds later, she was standing next to Michael.

Asura reached into the dimensional pocket again, retrieving the mirror. He turned to Matthias. "Alright mister, it's your turn now."

Michael looked at Lavender. "Oh hello. Wanna see something cool?" He snapped his finger, and a sort of wall that showed Asura and Matthias appeared

Matthias sighed and stepped forward. He tipped an invisible hat to Asura. "See ya on the other side buckaroo." He put his hand up to the mirror and only second later he was next to Michael and Lavender.

Kavender's eyes widened. "Whoah…."

Asura was left alone there, holding the golden compact mirror in his hands. He turned it over a few times, opening and closing it. With a deep breath, he reflected his energy on the mirror, and ended up standing next to the rest of the people in what seemed to be a completely abandoned cafe. He looked around. "I think this somewhat worked," he said.

(right yeah that's a thing. humor me I'm tired) Michael looked around. "Uh, yeah. Looks like it did. Now what's the plan?"

(then you should go to sleep)
Asura flipped the mirror shut and put it in his own dimensional pocket. "Now we can leave the cafe… but I have no idea how to get the hell out of this universe."
(also what were going to do about Maudie?)
