Mmmmmn... I suppose that the whole shooting star was enjoyable... oy, wish girl. I don't know what your name is, but, uh... thanks, I guess.

[There's a pause as Alice stares into the device, failing to sound as offhanded or as nonchalant about the whole event as she'd like to think she was. Really, as of late she seems... happier than she'd like to

[Alice looks to be in a bit of a trance, staring at the music box for a while before she blinks and registers Naoki's voice.]

...huh?

[Video]

[bloodiedchain]

Yeah. A music box with something that shouldn't even behere.

[holds_his_hand]

Eh? Are you alright? That sounded like it would hurt...

[bloodiedchain]

[Pretend this is moments after Naoki's attempt.]

...y-yeah. Maybe. I don't know...

[She's paying more attention to the music box.]

[holds_his_hand]

...Are you sure you didn't hit your head? [Just a bit concerned and not really paying much mind to the music.]

[bloodiedchain]

I'm sure. Do I look like I'm about to keel over here?

[Pardon her, she's just a bit unnervedby the music box.]

[loyalraven]

[God you give him a headache by existing, Alice. He sighs.]

For one thing? If you go and get yourself in trouble, don't expect me to come and bail you out. [Except he probably will anyway. Sigh.] For another, don't call my boyfriend a thing. His name is Naoki. And for ANOTHER thing--

[Well, Alice you don't get to hear the other thing, which was probably going to be a tirade about how you're a disaster on two legs, but well he stops short because well, that melody. ...here? It doesn't make any sense.]

That's...

[bloodiedchain]

...the melody from Oz's watch, right...? Lacie or something...

[For once, Alice is handling the music box with kid gloves as she picks it up and stares at it.]

...but... here...?!

[loyalraven]

[He nods, looking very uncertain.] There's no reason... for it to be in this place...

[And that melody... he's never liked the sound of it. It's nostalgic but unsettling.]

[bloodiedchain]

And yet... it's here. Why?!

[Alice is just. Yeah. Gonna be freaked out a little.]

[bloodiedchain]

[Just how many people were listening to this, again? Alice pauses, seemingly not answering for a few minutes before she finally responds.]

...I will be. I think.

{ Audio }

[bloodiedchain]

Just... encountered something that shouldn't be here. It'll be fine...

I think...
