I wonder how something can wobble so much without falling down? Perhaps it's on a wire, or someone has taken super-glue to it...it's very odd, like a house of cards.

Either way, what a dreadful, awful place. Everything's sort of fallen apart, and fallen up and down and even sideways too. I suppose there would be many more hiding-holes for crawling

oh dear god. let's do this. ]

Excuse me... [ BE BRAVE. ] Could you please explain your message?

[curiousher]

Hm? I thought it was pretty clear...[And even though she has no eyes, she seems to be looking RIGHT AT YOU NAOTO.]

I just started thinking about it all of a sudden. The mansion was all wibbly-wobbly, and falling apart, but not. It's very odd, don't you think so?

When things fall apart though, it makes more secret tunnels!

[detectiveace]

[ oh my godddddd. ]

Is this a prediction of what's to come? An "event"?

[curiousher]

I don't know. It just came to me somehow. Sort of like a dream, but I'm very much awake. At least, I think I am. I could very well be dreaming you and everything else. But that would make for such a long dream...

[detectiveace]

[ quick note in her journal. it's like you have espn or something, man. intense. ]

What's your name?

[curiousher]

I'm Alice! At least, today I am. And who are you? [Adorable head tilt is less adorable without those bright blues eyes to go along with it.]

[detectiveace]

My name is Naoto Shirogane. It's nice to meet you, Alice.

If I may... [ LEERRROOOOYYYYYYYY JEEENNNNNNKIIIIINNNNNNNNSSS-- ] Could I ask about your eyes?

[curiousher]

It's nice to meet you too, Naoto.

Hm? What about them?

[detectiveace]

[ question: how the hell does one do this tactfully? ]

What happened to them?

[ answer: you don't. ]

[curiousher]

I don't have even the slightest idea what you mean.

Did something happen to yours, maybe? [What.]

[detectiveace]

Um, yes, possibly. [ awkward, awkward... what even. ]

Can you see me?

[curiousher]

Of course! You're right there, with the hat. [She's even able to gesture to where the hat is. ...but how what even she has no eyes]

You can see me too, right?

[detectiveace]

Yes, I can. [ ... ]

Perhaps we could meet sometime? After the event you mentioned, of course.

[curiousher]

Hm...It's been such an awfully long time since I've seen anyone. I think that might be lovely, Naoto.

[detectiveace]

How may I contact you?
