[ This time around, Alice doesn't look as awkward addressing the network. Curled up in a dark blue cloak, Alice gives a small, awkward wave. ]
Hello.
[ She wonders what some may think of her now, given how calm she is. Alice usually isn't one for starting up conversations and it shows how she seems to fidget in her seat. ]
We must have new "recruits", I can't say I remember any of you from when I first arrived. I'm not good at introductions, forgive me -- my name is Alice Liddell. But I didn't want to address others to introduce myself.
I imagine that some of you may have had your clothing sullied or tattered from what transpired a few days ago with our little excursion. [ Far too polite, considering some of ALASTAIR's own are far from noble and composed. ]
I do have an offer. If you're mindful of your budget, and... other things, such as keeping from authorities, I would like to offer my services to tend to garments. I'm not the most renowned seamstress, but it is very customary where I come from young girls are taught many things, including sewing. I don't ask for anything in return; I don't want anything. It's the least I can do for some of you, who have been held for two weeks. I'll even clean garments for those of you who haven't gotten the chance in the past few weeks.
[ Alice pauses and adds- ]
And, I must note, despite offering such a generous offer, I will only do so, for a small while, as long as some of us -- or most of us -- are looking to be discreet. Indeed, there are vendors who are willing to provide, though they may be looking at this as means to exploit us for a profit. Alternatively, the goblins maybe one venue if you're looking for new clothes to begin with. At least they seem reasonable when it comes to pricing, I've noticed.

I won't settle for a big dump in the middle of the floor because they can't take care of a damn animal.
[ He feels that hand of hers on his, though, and it takes him by surprise. He doesn't respond to it, other than looking at it with his usual half lidded, uninterested eyes. Gintoki isn't a very touchy person himself, and just before she retreats her hand back, he does manage to skirt his thumb over her knuckles briefly to return her affection.
Ugh. He felt sick— and sad. It was such a pitiful display, and a feeling of remorse was boiling up in him. He really didn't want Alice to see him intoxicated, but he knew it was going to happen eventually, especially with how persistent she wanted to be with him. Though, it leads him to another thought. When he goes back to see them, does that mean he won't be able to see Alice anymore? The fact that she will be by herself— without a him as her friend— it worries him.
He hiccups again. ]
You're a good young woman— you have a lot to live for.
[ And he hopes you make plenty of other friends— somebody back from your home who could possibly replace him while he continues to live his life. ]
Dream bigger than you can imagine. Even if it means you have to fly.
[ Gintoki hiccups again, then groans. He thinks maybe he needs to just burrow his head into the pillow again, so he does, shifting so his back is facing Alice and his head is buried in the pillow so no light can reach his tired eyes. ]
