That was certainly odd last night, don't you all think?

[ntjstapwn]

Very.

[entirelybonkers]

What does it mean, I wonder?

[ntjstapwn]

I'm afraid it means there will be trouble, but its too soon to tell.

[entirelybonkers]

Trouble of the very worst sort, I imagine - rabbit holes are rarely filled with peaches and cream, I'm afraid. There always seems to be a rotten apple somewhere at the core.

[ntjstapwn]

Did you make it to the top deck?

[entirelybonkers]

After a struggle that I think I'd rather not repeat, I did indeed;

[ntjstapwn]

What did the whispers tell you?

[entirelybonkers]

[harrrrumph!]

Are you always this nosy?

[ntjstapwn]

Sorry. I'm trying to figure out if there's a common theme. So far I just know they at least pretend to be personal and a lot of them mention a 'him.'

[entirelybonkers]

[It was certainly personal in Alice's case, she was indirectly responsible for the Red Queen's banishment and while she's fully certain the woman deserved that moreso than death, it doesn't mean Alice doesn't occasionally feel a bit down about it all.]

I do recall a mention of a him. [Sorry Marco, she won't be going into those personal details, she doesn't know you well enough. Kevas or Malkus will likely be the only ones able to glean that sort of information from the girl.]

[ntjstapwn]

*Yeah, he's going to try and think of a way to ask this without pissing people off.*

Thank you.

[entirelybonkers]

...

[Poor Marco - she does, at least, realize he is trying to help.]

And I saw a little red bird, if that helps.

[ntjstapwn]

A cardinal? At least that's what I think I saw...other than that, little else stood out.

[entirelybonkers]

Besides some of the nights stars disappearing from view. That was quite curious as well.

[ntjstapwn]

Well, I meant between the flashes.

*Hm*

...but I didn't look up at the sky until the bird flew away, so I guess I'm not sure when the stars went out.

[entirelybonkers]

Hm. Come to think of it, I didn't either.
