[ 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.

Oh, yes. They are certainly given the chance to improve. The young master took them on for a reason, since he can be a bit gentle-hearted... Their lack of skill for serving comes from the fact that they were all taken in with nowhere else to go, save for the steward.
[ True, technically. But the circumstances behind each were each individually questionable, since Sebastian and Ciel had taken them for their skill in defending the manor. To act as normal servants was little more than a cover for when their true skill was needed. Not that you can tell from Sebastian's cheerful explanation, though. ]
But, ah, I speak too much about my work at home... Do pardon me. I do hope for the same here, at least! My hopes are high enough, since I have enjoyed my time thus far, I would say.
no subject
[ A monster, even. ]
It's perfectly fine, sir, I don't mind it, at all. As a matter of fact, I'm glad that someone has shared similar experiences. You sound like you serve a good home.

[ Sebastian would hardly go so far as to call Ciel virtuous, but even without knowing anything of the man in question, Sebastian still assumes that Ciel is likely more noble. He's not cruel to the servants at all, save perhaps a deception on the footman's part... But. That is Ciel's choice, as it were. ]
But I am also glad to meet someone who understands it, actually. Even though I have not been here long, I do get the impression that such servitude comes off as quite odd to others. I suppose it falls out of fashion, though I could not guess at why. It is quite legitimate work.
