✖Twenty-third Doll

*Alice has been spending less time inside and more time outdoors. Regardless of the fact that she dislikes being outside she would much rather be outside than be inside with a psychopath. Alice will still be avoiding people but she can't avoid everyone forever

[Alice.

In the park.

Marisa's face as she strolls up to Alice. Who is in the park. And not at home.]

[hangedhourai]

*Alice figures she couldn't avoid Marisa for long.*

What do you want?

[lasersallover]

What are you doing out here?

[hangedhourai]

Shanghai wanted to go outside.

[updollsdresses]

[hey

hey, wife

it's sociopath not psychopath there is a difference

Someone else is at the park, too. And the library. And the store. And generally everywhere. Always there. Always.]

[hangedhourai]

*now I'm wondering how I got that good grade in psychology did my teacher suck that much

Alice is doing her best to try to ignore him.*

[updollsdresses]

[No, it's just that I got a 5 on my AP Psych exam and thus know everything ever about everything.

Oh but Alice how can you ignore him when he's

right behind you aaaaaaah]

[hangedhourai]

*oh okay I just took... psych 101 with the worst teacher teaching psych.

Alice has got nerves of steel but even she thinks you're pretty creepy Teatime. She's just hoping you'll go away. Eventually.*

[Oh hai, Alice. You might happen to pass right by Yuuka in the park. She's sitting daintily on the ground in a patch of flowers enjoying a nice bit of tea.]

Why hello there.

[hangedhourai]

*Alice seems pretty annoyed to run into her but well... that tea looks good. And she hasn't had a chance to sit down and relax in awhile. So Alice joins Yuuka in a very begrudgingly way.*

Serve me some tea. It is the least you can do for a guest.

[convallariaceae]

[Yuuka looks at Alice from over the rim of her glass for a long moment, before gently setting it to the side and retrieving a fresh one. It almost seems as if she'd been expecting someone to stop and enjoy a cup of tea with her. She speaks as she pours.]

Well, your manners still need quite a bit of work...but I suppose you do have a point.

[Yuuka hands Alice her cup, retrieving her own as well.]

So what has the Magician out and about today?

[hangedhourai]

*Even if her words are rude Alice is still a perfect lady when it comes to drinking her tea. It's quite ironic to watch in a way.*

Shanghai wanted some fresh air. As a puppeteer I was obliged to do so.

*This seems to be her excuse for today.*

[stop_it_tewi]

*at the general store, rounding a corner or something, almost but not quite bumping into Alice*

A-Ah... Margatroid-san. I'm sorry, I almost...

[hangedhourai]

It is not a problem.

[stop_it_tewi]

Alright...

... um... are you alright? After the Soviet Russia incident and everything?

[hangedhourai]

I have been well.

How about yourself?

[rapier_ex]

-Virginia comes across her in the library and is just... so... FASCINATED with Shanghai. She admires it from afar for now, not certain what to say to the girl.-

[hangedhourai]

*Alice continues on her way. She barely notices Virginia.*

[rapier_ex]

-Virginia... continues stalking. And she's not very good at it.-
