[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?

[Oh Beato you're her new hero.]

Alice will make the rabbit pour tea! Alice will make him fill her plate with sweets, too! That's what he gets for getting caught!

[golden_witch]

[Ah, Alice is even cuter when she's happy! ♥]

Yes, yes! He can be our butler and do as we say because we won the game!

[letsplaylady]

Uh-huh! Yep! When we win we get the white rabbit as a butler!

But for how long?

[golden_witch]

For as long as we want.

We are the winners, after all.

[letsplaylady]

Alice never got something like that when Alice won a game before! Sounds really fun.

The white rabbit will be Alice's butler forever! It's what he gets for losing~

[golden_witch]

Because Alice has never played a game with such a powerful witch.~

We'll get him a cute outfit and teach him to make the best black tea you've tasted.~ ♥

[letsplaylady]

[Oh all of that just sounds so fun and great she--wait.]

You're a witch, lady...?

[She's quiet now, and her eyes are wide. She's never met a witch before!]

[golden_witch]

I am indeed.
I was known as The Golden Witch, Beatrice.
This place has taken my powers, but an endless witch like me can do just about anything she pleases with magic.

Do you believe in magic~?

[letsplaylady]

Alice believes in magic!

[She nods enthusiastically.]

Alice used to use magic. Before coming here. Does that make Alice a witch, too?

[At least, it was magic to her.]

[golden_witch]

As long as you believe that it was, it was magic.
And that certainly makes little Alice a witch, too.

What kind of magic did you perform, hm~?
Every witch should have a title.

[letsplaylady]

[Oh, she's a witch, too...?! She's grinning. But that grin falls a little when she thinks about her "magic."]

Alice isn't sure. It kinda just happened when Alice needed to fight somebody.

[golden_witch]

[Noticing the drop in the girl's mood, she'll nudge her a little and giggle.]

You're just a young witch, that's all. You can't be expected to know everything all at once.
That's how most witches start out. Your magic is your defense first and foremost. It's not until later that you grow into offense.

[letsplaylady]

[Alice can't help but smile again at that.]

Oh...that's how it is? Alice understands! Alice is just starting out as a witch, then.

[golden_witch]

[Cue one triumphant nod.]

Exactly!

I bet you'd become quite powerful, too. It's such a shame that we can't practice here.

I can still teach you things, though, if you'd like.~ ♥

[letsplaylady]

Yeah...Alice kinda misses that magic.

[Alice nods brightly.]

Yup! I wanna learn lots more!

[golden_witch]

I don't know if I can be as good of a teacher as Virgilia was to me, but I can try.

It won't be easy without our powers, you know. Is little Alice ready to work hard~?

[letsplaylady]

'Course you'll be good, lady, 'cause Alice doesn't know much!

Alice is ready to work real hard and learn bunches and become a great like you one day.

[Oh she looks up to her so much.]

[golden_witch]

Alice is the cutest!

I'll be sure to show you everything you need to know!
That way, when you go home to Alice, you'll be one of the strongest witches around!

You'll be able to do things people only dream of and I will be very proud.

Come, let's find you a room close to mine, my little protege.~ ♥

[letsplaylady]

Even stronger than Alice! Then Alice can help out Alice more.

Where's your room?

[golden_witch]

Mhm! Won't she be surprised~?

And I stay in room 709, so we'll ask the person at the desk to place you close to that, alright~?

[letsplaylady]

'Kay. What's the place like?

[golden_witch]

Well, it's not like where I used to live, but it's adequate.
The furnishing is nice and you're left with some basic necessities.

I think once we get you some new playthings, you'll like it just fine.

[letsplaylady]

Alice hopes so.

Just glad I don't have to stay outside. It wouldn't be very comfortable.

What kinda place did you used to live in?

[golden_witch]

Of course, darling. No one is going to make a little girl stay outside all on her own. That would be awful.

I'm sure even if it weren't me, someone would have come around to guide you to a place to sleep.

Oh, I used to live in a fine manor. I had servants and all sorts of luxuries.

What about you~?

[letsplaylady]

It would be mean.

A manor? Sounds perfect for a witch! Alice wants servants and a manor someday, too, when I'm a great witch.

...Alice used to live in "wonderland" with Alice. Don't remember much, but it wasn't like this place. It was kinda underwater, sometimes.

[Oh, describing the Moon Cell can be confusing. But she is a confusing girl.]
