(Being rewritten to update writing style and some details)River sits alone in the mirror. How long has it been? A month? No, they had counted a month. A year? Perhaps; they lost track of time possibly months ago. However long it had been, the manor wasn’t in the beautiful state it had been, and neither was River. They had gotten skinnier and paler. They have near permanent tear streaks on their face from the days on end they had sobbed. And their wound. Dried blood is caked around their chest and on their once beautiful looking outfit. The flower on their breast pocket had long wilted and turned from a pristine white to a sickly yellow. They face away from the manor, not wanting to look at the front of their prison. They stare at the endless void behind the mirror. Parts of the manor were there, sure, but most of the space is void. And /damn/, the cold. It’s near freezing here. River became numb to it and the ringing long ago. Oddly enough, their spiral into further insanity would be interrupted by something less depressing…The Jim twins had come back to investigate what they assumed to be a demon in the old Markiplier Manor. They see the demon in the mirror faced away. “Demon!” The ‘demon’ jumps and yelps, turning to face the twins. They stay quiet, seemingly trying to find their voice after so long being silent. “How long have you possessed this place?! What reason did you have for causing the deaths in this house?!” The ‘demon’, or rather, River, looks confused. “U-um, I’m not a demon?” They’re shocked for a moment by their lack of British accent, as well as how raspy and dry their voice is. The reporter only gets more intrigued. He holds the microphone up to the mirror to urge River to explain. “I-um-I died and now I’m here?” That seems to satisfy the energetic man as he spins his own version of what happened. “So the murderer killed the host and moved on to the prettiest guest to trap them forever! Ha! Who was the murderer?” River stutters, not quite sure how to answer…any of that. “U-um…I don’t know?” “What is your name, mirror demon?” They sigh. “I’m not a demon. I’m River.” The reporter freezes for a second. “The very same River that Darkiplier talks about?!” “Who?” Jim shoves a picture of Dark against the mirror. Their breath hitches, and the mirror cracks a little. “Damien…” The blue-clad reporter turns to his brother. “Dark must be informed right now! Goodbye, teal Jim!” They try to stop him, but he seems determined. The reporters leave, leaving River sit in shock. They would only have about a day to think all of this over.
The door slams open and a man yells. “Oh, River! I’m here!” The man walks in front of the mirror. For a split second, the attorney has hope in their eyes as they see who they believe is Damien. “Yikes, you need a shower.” River realizes who it is, and glares harshly at the Actor. “Oh, don’t look so upset, River~ I’ll get you out of here” They growl softly. “No. Leave me alone.” Actor pulls out Damien’s cane and taps it on the mirror. “You’ve been in here long enough” River backs up. “What?” The actor laughs. “You’ll be coming with me” “No! Dark’s going to help me! He wouldn’t abandon me!” They don’t really believe that, but they certainly didn’t want to go with Actor. Though they don’t think they’d want to go with Dark, either. “He already did, /sweetheart/” The now disheveled attorney growls at the smirking actor as he pulls the cane back. “You’ll be fine with me” “Wait-!” The blonde barely gets a word out before the mirror is broken with a loud crash. Fading in and out of consciousness, they feel hot air hit their freezing cold skin, numerous cuts from the glass of the mirror on their arms, legs, and face, and the noise of that horrible ringing stops. The last thing they feel is being picked up and dragged to a red car.When they wake up, they’re in a car with the actor. They panic and try to open the locked door, but it doesn’t work. “I’m just taking you to my house, there’s nothing to worry about” The blonde turns and glares at Actor, before picking up Damien’s cane. It’s then they notice small differences, like a gem being on top instead of the usual metal orb. “Oh, you think I stole your loverboy’s cane~? No, I couldn’t. Asshole stole it before I could get it.” They hold it close to them, looking around the car for a way to get out. They notice the door can be unlocked. They glance at the actor, who is looking at the road. Before he could notice, they unlock the door, open it, and fall out of the car, tucking their arms and legs to their torso. They hold the cane tightly. They get up and sprint into the forest before the actor could see where they went. After a while of running, they see the bright lights of a city in the distance.

Some basic lore:
- River used to be a district attorney
- They were born in 1890 (35 when WKM happened). Their birthday is October 30
- Their full name is River Lawyer Kendall (yes, they chose their first and middle names)
-They used to have a British accent, but lost it while they were trapped in the mirror for 90 years
- Because of the events of Who Killed Markiplier, they have a fear of lightning, thunder, and guns. Their fear of guns is slightly better now
- They hate the word "murder" (along with variants like "murderer") because of the events of WKM and will refuse to use it. They'll also flinch when they hear it
- They live in the ego manor
- Their job is to join forums related to the incident at Markiplier Manor and talk down the more correct theories while pretending the incorrect theories are more accuratePersonality:
- River is usually a kind person, except for around a select few (mainly Actor Mark)
- They are secretive with people who don't know their past or that they don't know well
- They have heavy trust issues and can be defensive. This can occasionally make them seem cold to strangers
- They're a surprisingly good liar (they are a lawyer, after all), but they don't lie often. Pretty much only about their past
- They can be blunt and to the point, but they don't like to be so blunt that it causes them to sound rude (except to Actor Mark)
- I have anxiety! I will be pretty nervous the first times I interact with someone, but I’ll get more comfortable the more I interact
- I’m an age regressor. I won’t be online while I’m regressed.
- How I write a few muses may change as their canon stories are written more (mainly Marvin and Jackie)
