[There are a few unsure button mashes before Alice gets the video feed to come on. She looks into it with curious eyes, even if her gaze is filled with anger at the same time.]

Okay, which one of you kidnapped me and took my dolls? I got the little note thing about 'shadows', whatever those are, but I don't really get it.

Really, I just want my dolls back. And my books. If I've got those, then I can keep working. If not, then I'm kind of stuck, and I don't want to be stuck. Tch.

We're all in the same boat. We're all kidnapped, and nobody here took your dolls and/or books.

Everyone? How in the devil did that happen?

Beats me, and I've been here for months.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

Months?! Are you serious? Have you gotten anything from home at all?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Zip, zilch, nada. Unless you count people.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

...then what is the point?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Does there have to be one?

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

I should hope so! It would be awful to just be kidnapped pointlessly.

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Well, there are monsters to fight, that might be part of the point.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

Monsters. These 'shadows'?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Bingo.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

Without my magic, how am I supposed to fight them?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

You could summon something with your mind called a Persona. Everyone here gets one.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

Persona? Summoning with my mind? That's not how my magic normally works...

Are you alright little girl? Are there any people around you? You aren't tied to a chair are you?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I don't even have magic at home! It's pretty neat to have it here.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

A girl your age playing with dolls? Seriously?

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

I'm not a little girl, there's no one around me, and I'm certainly not tied to a chair. I appear to be in some sort of inn.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

They're not just dolls. That's just rude! They're important in my magical research.

[...and for tea parties.]

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

I suppose it would be, to someone unfamiliar with it.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

...

Oh this is even better. You're some kind of looney spinster, aren't you?

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

'Spinster'? Hardly. That would require me being much older and much more reclusive.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

You're the one trying to justify your doll hobby.

[maidensbunraku.livejournal.com]

You're the one attacking me for it! I'm merely defending an interest.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

Why bother? Do you care what I think?
