Two days passes quickly as you wait for your mirror man to return.

You get home and unlock your apartment, exactly as you did two days ago. You rush to your room. After his last visit, you went out and bought a notebook and pen for communication. You retrieve them from the coffee table and open your room's door.

As you enter you feel a strange aura, which makes sense, if there really is seven other people in this room. Your gaze falls upon the mirror, in it, you can see seven gorgeous men. One who you notice immediately has an air of authority, he is sitting in your armchair and appears to be talking with someone else and smiling, wait are those dimples?? His hair is a charming silver color and he looks like he is talking to your mirror man, who is sitting on the edge of your bed. Your mirror man is as hot as ever but has a shirt on now, next to him on your bed are two more men, one with slightly lighter gray hair and one with stunning blonde hair, who saw you looking and winked. You stumbled back a step then saw the three others on the floor. The first one you saw had white hair and was leaning against your bed when you walked in, but a man with maroon hair sitting next to him nudged him awake when you entered. The third man on the floor had black hair and had the broadest shoulders you had ever seen on a man.

Are all people who live in mirrors this hot??

You shyly wave. The all smile and wave back, some a bit more energetically than others. You start writing in the notebook.

Is this everyone? 

The man in the chair nods.

So how did you get in there anyways?

He stands up from the chair and tries to sign to you, presumably their story. He gives up after you appear to not follow. You sigh, communication will not be easy. You decide the easiest way to crack open the truth will be to just ask about the most likely scenarios.

Were you cursed?

The man in the chair nods, you guess he is the leader because he has been answering all the questions.

Is it possible to get you out?

He nods again. He mimes picking something then mixing it.

I have to make something?

He nods and holds up a finger, then holds up 2 then mimes mixing again.

There are steps?

He nods and jumps up and down with excitement.

Ok so step 1. Gather?

Again he nods and mimes something, directions maybe?

I'll go get a map.

You dash to your junk drawer and start rummaging through all your crap. Why do you have all this stuff anyway? Wait... is that a protein bar? How did that get there? Finally, at the bottom of the drawer you find the map! Now to figure out where to go.
