[ 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.

[ She won't say her concern comes from experience. It's still taking her time to recover from the ten years in the asylum. ]

It will take time, likely as much time as you were all held. And not quite yet -- I've had more offer a helping hand, actually. It's surprising.

[ She is such a cynical person and there are people proving her wrong. ]

I'm sure more will ask as time goes on.

[viscontree]

I'm glad to hear that. We need to help each other whenever we can.

[So many kind people here.]

The other day I tore my long sleeve shirt. I'll have you look into it. You're more knowledgeable in sewing than I am.

[digophelia]

It's... rather unusual.

[ Truly, she's so used to the opposite. London is the furthest from kind, despite whatever perceptions people have of English hospitality. ]

But, no matter. I can take a look at it, the stitches of a tear are easy to do.

[viscontree]

Good to hear.

I can go deliver my clothes to you. Where would you like to meet?

[Alice is aware that he can't return to the human side of Chantes. They'll probably need to meet in the outskirts or something like that.]

[digophelia]

Hm.

I feel I should ask where can you meet?

[ Better safe than sorry, of course. ]

[viscontree]

In the outskirts. That would be our safest bet.

I can't be found in human territory after all. [Which is inconvenient in itself. Alice can probably take a small trip to the outskirts.]

[digophelia]

I know someone out there, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to find you.

[ And, frankly, it doesn't bother her. She forces a small smile. ] I'll be more than happy to do it.

[viscontree]

That's good. You're welcome to contact me at any time.

I have to rely on your aid more. Besides, we don't know how long this mission will last for. [Probably a long time...he isn't very optimistic about this.]

[digophelia]

[ Cynical, yes, but realistic. ]

Please, don't worry. If we are here for a while, relying on my aid should be the least of your worries. I will do this as soon as I meet with my friend. May I have your name?

[viscontree]

You'll have to forgive me. I should have told you my name before hand.

My name is Julius Visconti. [It's easy to forget things like introductions sometimes.]

[digophelia]

There's no need to apologize.

[ She has such a terrible habit of not introducing herself. ]

My name is Alice Liddell, Mr. Julius. [ And, much like with others, she is sure to add formalities. ]

[viscontree]

May I ask who this companion of yours is? I'll need their names as well.

[It'll be easier to get into contact with them near the outskirts by the sounds of it.]

[digophelia]

His name is Gin; I don't know exactly where he is, he may be wandering about.

[viscontree]

I'll remember that.

We'll get into contact with him somehow. Are we in need of extra assistance?

Carrying all those clothes is a hefty job. [He can call someone else if they need more help.]

[digophelia]

I'll accept some help, for now, since I don't have any other means to carry it, other than my own hands.

[ Or a horse, something she still doesn't know how to ride. ]

I suppose with whomever helps me with sewing, I shall ask them to carry your garments along with others to the outskirts. It should be fine and I frankly don't care about the ramifications.

[viscontree]

Everything should be in order then.

Shall I contact you at a later date? [The "Who" and "How" is resolved but not "When". He'll go make arrangements if Alice is ready to pick up clothes soon.]

[digophelia]

You may contact me at any later date, Mr. Julius, I have no preference.

[ After all, there's not like there's anything else going on here. In a way, she's pleased with this, it's something to do. ]

[viscontree]

Then I'll see you shortly.

[He gives Alice a firm salute.]

Take care of yourself, Alice.
