[Accidental Video]

[letsplaylady]

...Ready or not, here comes Alice!

[Have an eyeful of shaky, blurry scenery. It seems the video feed of the phone has accidentally been turned on, and the person holding it is running around without realizing she did it.

The little girl stops and examines the spots behind dumpsters and benches, as if she's looking for something. She seems to be...playing a game? After a few moments of this fruitless search, she comes to a full stop.]

Where is Alice? Alice didn't think Alice would be too far away...Alice thought Alice was just hiding. [Her voice becomes sad and a bit tearful.] Alice has to be around this place. Alice wouldn't leave Alice all alone. Nuh uh! No way! [But she quickly becomes determined again, after a small sniffle. She takes a look at her surroundings.]

...Where is this, anyways? Alice hasn't been here before.

Did Alice go through the looking glass?

[kindofademon]

Maybe! Hey, Alice. Where'd you see Alice last?

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

STRANGER DANGER--

[Alice doesn't realize the voice came from the phone she's holding, and she looks around for the person who spoke. She responds anyways.]

...Alice doesn't remember well. But, Alice was here, with me.

[Video]

[kindofademon]

Check your phone.

How long ago was that?

video.

[inconversable]

[I should have already been numb to the fact that the dead can walk here, but... Wasn't Alice dead to begin with? And for that matter, it seems like she's from before the Elimination Match...

I should be careful on how to approach this.

Hakuno clears her throat before placing a video call.]

... That's right, Alice.

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

[...! Alice is surprised to see a familiar face.]

Hey lady, you're here too? That makes Alice happy. We can play lots again!

[The comment registers.]

So this is the world beyond the looking glass, lady? Alice doesn't really remember much of what happened before Alice went into a deep sleep. Don't even know how I got here.

[Video]

[inconversable]

[... Hakuno can't help but remember the last times she agreed to play with Alice. Understandably, she really didn't find it fun.

Still, Alice was a little girl, no matter how... dangerous she can be. Hakuno felt inclined to help, regardless.]

A lot came here the same way, and none of us know how. It's hard to get in and out of here... but Alice might follow you here soon. You just need to be a good girl and wait patiently.

[rocker]

[ it's.. a little girl? they even kidnap people like that to this place..? ]

I do not think any sort of.. 'looking glass' was involved. [ whatever that might be, David has no clue. ] This city is called Prospero.

[ video ]

[letsplaylady]

Pros...pero? That doesn't sound like the world beyond the looking glass to Alice. It should have a fun name.

[She seems a bit disappointed at this.]

[ video ]

[rocker]

You do not like this name?

[ there might be a hint of curiosity in his voice, but his expression is still very much lineface. ]

[pucelle]

[Oh my god she is so lost from what Alice said THAT THIRD PERSON TALK IS MAKING THIS EVEN MORE CONFUSING SCREAMS.

But no this girl looks like a child, and this place can be dangerous... TIME TO TRY AND BE HELPFUL.]

This place is called Prospero, Alice.

[letsplaylady]

Alice knows that now, lady.

[Have fun with childishly blunt responses too.]

Have you seen Alice?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...I assume your name is Alice.

[video]

[letsplaylady]

[She nods.]

Uh huh! That's Alice's name, mister.

[king_of_heroes]

[ And by the end of the video, he already has a headache. ]

Stop speaking in third person, child. No one will take you seriously.

[letsplaylady]

What's that mean, mister? Why won't anyone take Alice seriously? Alice just wants to find Alice.

[Alice frowns in confusion. She doesn't know what "third person" is. There's only one of her, after all...]

Video

[theheirofbreath]

Umm... so...

Are you Alice? Or are you looking for someone named Alice?

Video

[letsplaylady]

Yep! Alice is looking for Alice.

[Her way of speaking is so wonderfully confusing, but she pays it no mind.]

[crazyoldbat]

The gall of this place, bringing someone so young.

Can you tell where you are child? Anything near you that you can identify?

[letsplaylady]

Nuh-uh. Alice doesn't know this place. Alice just knows this is Prospero.

[She looks around. She's standing near some street in a random place and probably ran away from any remotely recognizable places while playing hide-and-seek.]

[kitsunemimi]

Hau! Little Miss Alice!

[ It's that fox-eared servant that Alice might have seen tailing her brown-haired Master back on the Moon Cell... ]

Tamamo didn't think for you to be here too! This place is certainly mysterious!

action;

[letsplaylady]

You know Alice, lady...?

[She doesn't remember much about that place besides playing with Alice and the nice brown-haired lady.]

Alice doesn't 'member you.

[She's a little reluctant. Alice curiously stares at the fluffy ears.]

[golden_witch]

[Beatrice is pretty used to this manner of speaking from any chat she's had with Maria. It's an obvious little girl quirk. There's that pesky soft spot for children again.]

If Alice didn't follow you it's not because she didn't want to. You know that, right?

[letsplaylady]

What's that mean, lady? Alice is here--just hiding from Alice, right?

[She feels even more upset at hearing this. She was so sure Alice was just playing hide-and-seek. That she would find her eventually...That just had to be it.]

She's gotta be here.

[ video ]

[stagecontroller]

You will find yourself in Prospero, Alice.

[ video ]

[letsplaylady]

Thanks, mister.

...Prospero's not like wonderland, is it?

[She still wants to believe.]
