[Alice looks thoughtful when she first appears on screen. Even though she's given this a lot of consideration, she's still not sure exactly what she wants to say. After a moment of last-second stalling though, she sighs.]
...I'm very sorry, everyone. I keep trying to think of what this next event could be, but I think I may have stretched myself too thin this time. I don't usually get evently thoughts twice in a row this way, so perhaps that's why? I feel like it's...less, than it was. There isn't much muchness to it at all, I'm afraid.
[She holds her fingers to her temples, as though that might help somehow or make it clearer to see, but it doesn't seem to do anything. The whole thing is terribly frustrating.]
This time it's rarely anything, just a thought that's stuck in my head like a catchy song. It's enough for me to know that it's from something coming our way, but it's such a passing thought that it's not anything helpful or useful or even coherent as something we would be going through! It's so little that it could be nice or Wonderland could twist everyone's hopes around in knots.
[It does tend to do that on occasion. None of this musing is helpful either though, so she tries one more time.]
Maybe it's best given as a question for everyone to ponder with me...
...Do you believe in happy endings? Or happily ever after?

cw imaginary animal body horror?
The first thing Bill thinks is: this is a trap. He stares into nothing for a bit, not wanting to run away and not wanting to go any further either, and DEFINITELY not wanting to stand still.
The problem gets solved for him when the cats start multiplying. Ah, cool, much better!]
WELL, WELL, WELL! JUST THE HUMAN I WANTED TO SEE!
[One Dinah has wide, bright yellow eyes, and is standing unnaturally still. It lifts off of the floor and turns inside out horribly; there's no actual blood or gore, but there's a lot of grotesque fibers and fur going places where fur shouldn't be. Once it all gets tucked away, what's left is a glowing triangle in a little top hat.]
YOU'RE A TRICKY ONE TO GET AHOLD OF! IN A LOT OF SENSES OF THE WORD!

Wow, you're the strangest cat I've ever seen! And I've seen some very strange cats.
[The immediate change in her makes one thing very clear - she's not terribly lucid in her dreams. She's already accepted this as something that makes perfect sense to be happening right now. She tilts her head.]
You were looking for me?
no subject
[Bill zips in a full circle with Alice in the middle, to examine her all the way around.]
HOW COME YOU NEVER GET DROPPED BACK OUT TO YOUR OWN WORLD LIKE THE OTHERS, HUH? WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT YOU?
no subject
I don't think I'm more special than anyone else is? I really don't know why I'm still here, or how...

[bill she's a child]
I MEAN I KNOW YOUR MIND'S BEEN MESSED WITH, BUT, SHEESH. YOU COULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE WE HAVE FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW ALL THIS WORKS IF YOU STOOD STILL LONG ENOUGH.
no subject
[She does stop turning though, as though the reason will become more obvious to her if she does stand still.]
1/2
[Bill suddenly seems to fill the room, casting it in a baleful red light, all wormy canthus and pupil like an infinite pit.]
2/2
YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING OFF SOMEWHERE! I'D OFFER TO HELP WITH YOUR LITTLE AMNESIA ISSUE IF YOU STARTED SHARING INFORMATION MORE FREELY, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU EVEN KNOW HOW!
no subject
That's-- that's not my fault! I'd explain everything if I could, but I don't have answers to give anyone!

[She bends down and picks up one of the cats, clearly getting a little distressed by her inability to know anything about her abilities, and gently holds it in her arms.]
no subject
[Sheesh. Does he have to do the whole 'with great power comes great responsibility' thing? Bill taps his foot in mid-air.]
no subject
[As she talks it turns into more of a wail, and she starts crying. The cat doesn't like this very much, so it squirms out of her arms and she just buries her face in her hands.]
no subject
ALRIGHT, YEAH, OKAY. YOU'RE A HUNDRED AND FIFTY.
no subject
[Alice, that makes absolutely no sense.]
