01.- [Action/Voice.]

[He would have opted this to be a dream, if it were anything like his own-- but he knew the moment he woke, it was simply too real. Since then Gilbert has straying near the Golden Entranceway, trying to make sense of exactly where he is, why, and of course--] This can't be-- no, this isn't...not that place..

This makes no sense! [This was definitely

reaction to voice. 1/2

[It was rare for Alice to actually pay attention to anything going through the Seal, but after hearing that name she was always called...

This wasn't a dream, right? This wasn't a wish that she made? On the inside, she just wanted to be back with Oz and even that stupid Seaweed Head. Did it actually come true? There was a tight grip on her chest. What was this feeling?

Was she happy? Relieved? Not that it mattered, she wouldn't understand it anyway but that didn't stop at least one tear appearing (it was quickly wiped away after).
It wasn't too long since she parted from those two but it felt far longer.

Alice took no time leaving her house and making her way to the Golden Entranceway-- That was where he had to be. Right?!]

action! done aahh

[stupidusagi]

[She ran as fast as she could, but the feeling she held earlier was gone. She didn't need that idiot knowing. She substituted it with anger now.

And here she comes near her destination, screaming at the top of her lungs.

No, he wouldn't know she was happy to see him.]

Seaweed Head! [She'll sniff you out if she has to.]

hghj 1/2 [action/voice!]

[Gilbert had nearly strayed farther away, only because there was no one around, and merely seconds away from pulling out his own hair-

until, that.]....Alice? [Very quietly, if she heard-]

2/2 [action/voice]

[starkravening]

Alice, where...?! [dammit, he can't see anything with this light! he knew he heard her.] Where are you, stupid rabbit?!

[clearly, he missed her too.]

voice;

[blindfall]

[ that voice--

he was only reading, maybe falling asleep, but this quickly jerks him awake, holding the seal in disbelief. ]

Gil... bert?

[action/voice!] 1/2

[starkravening]

[He honestly wasn't expecting that voice, any voice, but he heard it, and pauses hard.]

Elliot? [frantic glances everywhere. How could--]

2/2! ghj

[starkravening]

[He clutches the seal.]

Elliot, is that you?

voice;

[blindfall]

[ reaches to his seal and holds it close ]

You! When did you get here!?

not here; 1/2

[dormoused]

[ Ah...

Vincent was afraid this would happen. With Alice opening up her loud mouth and making herself hard to ignore, Break coming in, Elliot and Leo already here...

Of course they would also bring Gil, wouldn't they?

Which means that as usual, his brother won't be happy. And Vincent can't do whatever he likes, either. Even if he's happy to hear his voice, or be stuck together in a strange place where who knows what will happen ... it ruins everything. Yet again. ]

...

voice;

[dormoused]

[ cheerfully: ] Gil.

I know Asbjornsen Road.

[voice!]

[starkravening]

[Even that little tone, as genuine as sounded-- he was beginning to wonder if this thing was fooling him, making him think everyone was really here. In his head, all over again...it really couldn't have been a dream, now. If Vincent was here, Alice, if they were, then maybe Oz...] Vince...?

Vince, you're- where? [the heck is he???]

[voice!]

[dormoused]

[ h a h a h a, no. no Oz for you. ]

I'm at Asbjornsen Road. These things ... [ tapping at his seal, so Gilbert can probably hear that. ] they're a bit convenient, aren't they?

Ah, I wonder ... if Gil will be in the same house as me?

voice;

[codicis]

[ oh man, it is like a congregation of people from their world this month. though this time he's markedly more concerned because of gilbert's tone. did something happen? ]

Absjornsen Road is in the Wonderland District, Master Gilbert.

[voice!]

[starkravening]

[Are you kidding Leo is in this thing too.]...Leo! [as if he forgot, but in reality he was just trying to convince himself. again.]

Wonderland District? [His voice is fading, mainly because he's not holding the seal right, and he's too busy looking everywhere at once.] I don't think this it.

...Where are we?

[voice!]

[codicis]

We're in a city called Splendor, ah--

Is anyone coming to get you right now? If not, I can...

[voice!] wow i am so sorry about these icons lmfhg

[starkravening]

[gilbert actually stops, takes in the situation for a moment-]

Splendor? So this isn't...[part of the Abyss, he wanted to say, and decides against it.] ...I'd like that, yeah.

Leo, is anyone else with you?

[voice]

[knxght]

[ there was always something about the way Gilbert panicked that gave Break the means to be level-headed. most of the time, anyway. it was something he always held over Gilbert, and even now, the way his voice eased out seemed only to mock him as per usual. ]

Gilbert?

[voice!]

[starkravening]

[He feels the shock, especially because he wasn't expecting that voice-- any of these voices (from this little whatever the hell it was), and the he feels the reality that this wasn't the voice he was waiting for. Nonetheless, he reacts accordingly.] Break!

You too?!
