[Damn damn and damn. Eve is poking around the main foyer on the Mirrorside, staring through the mirrors to where the Queen had fallen through, in the Real Side. She looks pissed, arms crossed, pacing back and forth in front of the Mirrors. The air around her is warmer than normal as well.]

[Eve's not the only one who's come to check things out. Ryohei pauses when he sees her though, not sure that he wants to deal with her when she's angry. Besides which, he honestly does respect her.

After a minute, though, he comes closer.]

You don't like how it turned out.

[wrath_or_fury]

[She glances toward him before turning back to the mirrors.] Do you? This is hardly what you envisioned for your efforts.

[give_u_sunburn]

The outcome is the same.

[wrath_or_fury]

Really? [She huffs.] Another Queen. Who knows if we'll still be unmade. This isn't freedom, this is just another role to play. A happier one, but in its core, the same. [She crosses her arms.]

[give_u_sunburn]

Do you think we could all have coexisted without some kind of leader?

[wrath_or_fury]

No. But I thought we wouldn't have to coexist, at all. Or perhaps not I.

Have you spoken to her majesty yet?

[give_u_sunburn]

No, not yet.

...So what did you think was going to happen?

[wrath_or_fury]

...Not this. [Her hand rises smoothly to gesture at the mirrors.] It neither feels finished nor safe. Are we still unmade if our others leave? That was the point, was it not? Is it the Mansion that unmakes things, then, or was it the Queen of Hearts? What power will our new Queen have over Wonderland? Can she leave, or end the place, or send us away? And what made the Rabbit think that he could choose for us?

There are far too many questions left unanswered. And most seem content with this, despite how little has truly changed.

[give_u_sunburn]

[For a minute, he gives this some serious consideration. Eve's kind of a huge bitch, but she's got several good points there.]

They're happy because they feel like they accomplished something.

[wrath_or_fury]

[Yes, Ryohei. Yes, she is.]

I am not so easily pleased. I will speak to her soon, to see what can be done. Let's hope her head is not so empty as it seems. [She actually makes a face.]

[give_u_sunburn]

...We'll see. [It's not so much that he's having second thoughts as that he's thinking that Alice is probably easily influenced, and it would be Not Good for her to be influenced by the wrong people.]

[wrath_or_fury]

Indeed. [She turns back to the mirrors, already ignoring him.]
