the world's a beast of a burden

Who: Marisa Kirisame and Alice Margatroid
What: Advancing a month long character plot
When: 24th, morning
Where: Alice's Home
Warnings: Suicidal thoughts. Marisa's also swearing up a storm like promised.

Alice Margatroid is currently lying in her bed. Or at least something resembling Alice Margatroid is there. Covers tucked up to her chin and lights turned off, just as Marisa left her. Over the course of the month her health continued to deteriorate and now the Alice in bed is barely recognizable. Upon closer inspection, Marisa will find something very curious about her friend.

However, something else is even more pressing than Marisa's lifeless friend. Up against a booshelf a small girl sat in a chair. Preteen in age, her face obscured by the darkness. Her posture gives off a measure of stoicness but she at least seems more animate than the Alice currently lying in bed. Fingers laced and set delicately in her lap, it seems like she was waiting patently for Marisa to arrive even though it's only morning.

"There you are. Diligent as ever, I see."
