Jesus Christ, if it's not one thing, it's another.

Does the castle really get off on this?

[Nancy is currently sitting in the lobby, perched cross-legged atop a sofa with her journal in her lap. She likes to people watch, but lately the numbers have been dwindling

and same here, too.

[And there is a tiny woman dressed in clothes that look a little Hot Topic-y, but that's okay because HT TOTES PROMOTED HER MOVIES they were a gift. from a friend. acquaintance. thing.

She will smile as Nancy approaches, because come on, when you're having a mood, there is always that perpetual chipper person you just have to come across.]

[thatsnotnancy]

[So much cheeriness... IT BURNS.

But those clothes look familiar. Ohoho, she knows what has happened here.]

Nice outfit. [Even if it is a tad poser-ish.]

[chimesin]

[WHY DOES NO ONE SHARE HER PERPETUAL STATE OF HAPPY?

And she'll bounce a little, her hands moving to the pockets, those little chains and straps jingling against each other all the while.]

Do you really think so?

[thatsnotnancy]

[She shrugs her shoulders.]

I guess? They're definitely not yours, though. You always dress like a model out of some expensive preppy catalog.

[chimesin]

[And she's just listening intently!]

I suppose necessity has to trump fashion once in a while. [A beat.] Not that these clothes are a disaster, of course.

[thatsnotnancy]

Certainly not!

[Okay, she can't help it. It's like she automatically tries to mock her voice every time they have a conversation.]

I didn't know you two were a thing.

[chimesin]

[Alice doesn't mind! She thinks it's cute! But-- aah! Oh right, that was broadcast to everyone, wasn't it?]

Oh, no! Sera and I-- I had just reverted from that loss that was going around. She took me in as a stray, and... well, you know the rest of the story.

[thatsnotnancy]

[She nudges Alice's arm playfully.]

I know, but it makes it more interesting to think otherwise.

[chimesin]

[Nervous laughter, but laughter nonetheless. Very quiet, very pretty.]

If those thoughts make you feel better!

[thatsnotnancy]

[Whoa, whoa! Wait a second!]

Whoa, hold on. I'm not saying I dwell on this. I was only kidding! It's not like I imagine it.

[chimesin]

[DO YOU, NANCY? DO YOU, SECRETLY?]

Well, that's good. It would be even more awkward if you did!

[thatsnotnancy]

[NO. MAYBE. ONLY A LITTLE.]

Even moreso talking to you about it. [She does not give the same reaction Sera gives. Laaaame.]

[chimesin]

[Alice is as cool (and cute) as a cucumber, man! B)d]

Then I suppose not thinking about it would be the best course of action.

[thatsnotnancy]

[CURSES. FOILED AGAIN.]

Oh, you're good.

[chimesin]

[She'll even go so far as to curtsy in Nancy's presence at that one.]

Thank you.

[thatsnotnancy]

[She can't help it, she smiles broadly at Alice.]

Been a while since I met my match.
