[When the Vine turns on, the first thing everyone is treated to the sight of is a pair of...legs? Upside down, stocking-clad legs, at that. Apparently, their owner is lying on her back, legs bent at the knee. Idly, she reaches up and tugs one of her stockings up slightly, rolling the fabric between her fingers for a moment before letting it snap

[As Alice has only seen one good look at Nue, and barely heard her, she doesn't recognize at first.]

And just what kind of fun are you looking for?

[undefines]

[Has Nue seen you before, Alice? You look kind of familiar... (She probably didn't pay as much attention as she should have when she let Sanae field those Vine replies.) Oh, well! Familiar or not, Nue will be just as friendly to Alice as she would anyone else.]

Hm hm, do I know you? I'd think I would remember a cutie like you, but I'm drawing a blank!

[And by "friendly," I mean "horrible."]

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, I don't think we've talked yet, but I did see you show up with a shrine maiden with green hair. But I am Alice Margatroid, youkai magician and someone who has been stuck here for far too long.

And... thanks?

[undefines]

Oh, that's right! You must be one of the other people Sanae talked to. Silly me, how could I forget~.

You're welcome. But you must get that all the time, right?

[shanghaiworld]

Well, we never talked.

Not at all.

[undefines]

Whaaaat? Are you kidding me? C'mon, you don't have to be embarrassed about admitting it!

[It's hard to tell if she's teasing or being sincere... Maybe a little of both.]

[shanghaiworld]

No, really. Now that I think about it, I hardly ever get a compliment...

[undefines]

Seriously? Well, if that's the case, I guess I'll just have to compliment you extra to make up for it!

[shanghaiworld]

The first thing you have to do is not run from my house screaming... but you're obviously not human, so that shouldn't happen.

[undefines]

Oh? And why would I do that?

[She seems to have been distracted from hitting on Alice by actual curiosity. For the moment, at least.]

[shanghaiworld]

Apparently having a house full of dolls is scary and creepy.

[undefines]

Dolls? [Well, that's kind of an odd hobby... But she's not going to say that to a girl she's trying to flirt with. That, and she's probably vastly underestimating what constitutes a "house full" of them.] Well, don't you worry. It'll take more than a bunch of dolls to scare me~.

[shanghaiworld]

Well, you're pretty cheerful.

[undefines]

"Cheerful"? I guess that's true. Anyway, are there any other tests I have to pass?

[shanghaiworld]

Test? I was just saying the first thing that get's under my skin. Can't really compliment me if you're insulting me, right?

[undefines]

Exactly! It's a test to make sure I don't say something that offends you!
