[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?

[Alice is still confused by this. Her eyebrows furrow. She tries to get her point across again.]

I don't haveta find myself.

I have to find Alice.

[pucelle]

[HOW DARE YOU BE SO RUDE no I'm kidding children are always like that she can handle it...]

Hm, well, could you describe what Alice looks like?

action;

[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!

[Video]

[inconversable]

[... Um, okay. I didn't think it would be that easy. I just hope Saber doesn't filet me like a fish for doing this... and I hope Alice doesn't decapitate me in my sleep.

Hakuno gives a nod of acknowledgement.]

Okay, where are you now?

[---and since Hakuno just knows there's potential for her life to become harder by having Alice turn this into a game, she quickly adds:]

It's not good to play hide-and-seek if Alice doesn't know where everything is, right? We can explore the island together.

[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. ]

[ video ]

[letsplaylady]

Nuh uh. Alice likes fun names. Like bandersnatch and jabberwocky.

[ video ]

[rocker]

Those are.. quite odd names. [ but he won't judge. ] But it is good to have something to be fond of, even if it is just certain types of names.

[letsplaylady]

[Alice is getting a little tired of having to explain things, but she's never too irritated to describe her dear friend.]

Alice looks just like me, but wears black.

Re: [Video]

[letsplaylady]

[Before even trying to make it a game, Alice thinks this over for a second and then nods. It's not fun unless she knows all the very best hiding places so she can win, after all.]

Alice doesn't know. Thought I saw a park a while ago though. But Alice wasn't there, so I left.

We can play hide-and-seek after Alice knows where everything is, right lady?

[ video ]

[letsplaylady]

Yep. Alice really likes those things.

[Video]

[kindofademon]

Sure I do. You're in Prospero, a city on an island.

[king_of_heroes]

But aren't you Alice?

[ If there's one thing among others Gil hates, it's mind games. ...which is funny since he tends to play them all the time. ]

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

[She doesn't like the name at all, but the fact that it's an island sounds good enough for her.]

Alice hasn't ever been on an island before.

[Video]

[kindofademon]

Islands are nice. You could go swimming, but it's way too cold right now.

[letsplaylady]

Uh-huh. That's my name, mister. Alice is also "Alice," though.

[ video ]

[rocker]

Perhaps you will come to like the name of this place too over time. It is a rather unique name, after all.

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.]

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

Alice hasn't ever done that before, either. Is it fun?

[Video]

[kindofademon]

It can be fun and relaxing. Give it a try sometime.

[king_of_heroes]

...You lost me, kid.

[crazyoldbat]

Are there any adult around you, then?

[pucelle]

[Okay well that... explains things a bit at least. It'd be easier if she wasn't speaking in THIRD PERSON, but that can be another thing for another time.]

Ahh, I see. If that is the case, I cannot say I have come across your friend. I'm sorry.

[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?

[ video ]

[letsplaylady]

Hmm...dunno about that, mister. Alice's just gotta wait and see.

[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.
