[ it's been awhile since ace got to splendor, yet the weird things that happen continue being, well, weird. tonight he's walking around the wonderland district; aimlessly at first glance. whatever destination he had in mind is now completely lost, as he's utterly distracted by the giant bubbles appearing all over. he doesn't have his camping kit

[ because they should irritate each other in person again instead of through other people, elliot is wandering by, conveniently avoiding bubbles even if he has to move his ears out of the way to avoid popping them.

he squints lightly when he sees that mr. directionally challenged stupid knight is loitering out here. MUST BE LOST AGAIN HUH. ]

I was wondering where you'd wandered off to.

Are you only getting used to that? The way time moves here.

[rolereverse]

[ oh how kawaii ]

Elliot March!

[ smiiiiiles ]

Nah, I'm used to it, but you've noticed too, haven't you? All the foreigners have complicated explanations for everything.

[carrotdishes]

[ no you. ]

Unlike you, I know where I live, so I talk to foreigners every day. Of course I've noticed.

[rolereverse]

I know where I live, too.

[ well he knows where julius lives. not that he can find it more than once a week, but. ]

I talk to them often, too.

But nevermind that-- guess who I ran into not too long ago!

[carrotdishes]

No you don't. We both know you don't.

[ but he'll point you in the right direction for old time's sake if you ever need it. ]

If it's not the Queen of Hearts, I don't really care.

[ he doesn't exactly care about running into her either, but. ]

[rolereverse]

[ lolololol ignoring that. ]

Yes, the Queen!!

Wait-- did you run into her?

[carrotdishes]

Yeah, I did! She was trying to order the locals around, it was embarrassing!

[rolereverse]

Haha! that sounds like something she would do!

[ but okay, time to get serious. ]

So, hey . . . what do you think? Save for Blood and Mary, almost everyone is here.

[carrotdishes]

[ TCH. couldn't you have mentioned boris instead of blood. Or like... pierce. ]

I don't know, how did we all manage to be dumb enough to open up that music box?

[rolereverse]

[ because who cares about them they're like... pets. ]

. . . think the game's still going? Maybe with a small change to the rules?

[carrotdishes]

Nothing's happening at home that's any different than the ordinary. As for here, we don't even have any territory to negotiate, we're all over the place! And you guys are the only one with a boss present.

[ lucky you!!! except for the part where elliot actually wishes he had a boss present..... ....... ]

[rolereverse]

But you know, don't you?

About the new Alice.

[carrotdishes]

The new Alice?

Oh. That boy? Figures you'd get interested in him. But I know for a fact that nothing changes at home while we're here. So Mister Smart Knight, how do you explain that?

[rolereverse]

Well, for starters, Alice-- the old Alice-- wasn't a part of our world to begin with, so is it really impossible to believe the game changed locations? Rules?

Maybe we're all playing a new game-- a game to hate Alice the most. And this is the Alice we're supposed to play with, now.

[carrotdishes]

What makes you think the other Alice is part of our world? I mean yeah he knew a lot about Blood and Peter.... but "Alice" isn't a role, it's a name!

And where did "hating" Alice come from? He was stupid but I don't hate him.

[rolereverse]

What if Alice is a role in this place? With all these outsiders, something has to make him special, right?

And besides, you don't love him, do you? And neither does the Queen. So doesn't that, perhaps, mean that we're supposed to not like him?
