[ 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.

Why not? If you enjoy it so much, I'm sure you're very talented.

Well, why not? Dancing is an art form. It must be difficult, so it should be admired like any other art form, regardless of how skilled you think you are.

H-Have you really not seen a dance performance before? Alice — that's terrible! Anytime you want — I can dance for you any time you want!
no subject
no subject
Not at all, Alice! Dancing's what I do! If I could — I'd perform for everybody here!

[ Dream big or go home. ]
no subject
Y-Yes, maybe—
[ but this isn't about her, alice...! ]
But more than that, I hope you get to experience it yourself.
no subject
I'm sure that I would. When I was a little girl, I used to beg my parents to take me to the opera with them. They would always tell me when I was older.
[ Vaguely, she's making an allusion to be an orphan without getting into too many details. ]
How shall I say it? Operas are performances with singers and dancers in large theaters. They're quite expensive and people come from all over to see them. So, I think I would, as silly as that sounds.
[ But anything her parents enjoyed, Alice wants to throw herself at. ]
no subject
operas sound a bit like what she and her caravan do, but in a larger scale. ]
If I had the resources, I'd love to take you to one.
[ or create one for alice herself. ]

Oh, Alice — I would love that! That you would be willing to share something so meaningful with me, a virtual stranger... [ is she sniffling? she's sniffling. ] That's really touching..!
no subject
I see no harm in it, you haven't said anything for me to be anything but cordial. [ Unlike some people, like Ban. Besides, what's the worst Olivia can do? Apologize all over? Apparently. ]
Stranger or not, I appreciate kindness.
no subject
That's a wonderful perspective to have, [ she responds warmly. ] Though I guess I can't be too surprised... Anyone who so selflessly offers their services like this has to have a very kind and giving soul!
no subject
[ Her? Never. It's easier to shift that attention on another. ]
no subject
Wh—? M—??
Oh — n-no, I didn't do anything!!
[ not if that person crumbles under attention, alice... ]
no subject
[ The feeling is mutual despite Alice's stony expression, most times. ]
no subject
or her expression could soften, just as her tone grows gentler. ]
...if you'd ever like to speak to someone again, Alice, I'd be happy to offer my ear. In fact — [ she pauses, as if she were about to reveal some grand secret ] — I even have two of them.
