WEEK 4

[whimsicalism]

Even as the castle--is it even right to consider as a 'castle'?--continues to grow more accessible more of the group is whittled away. Even your own memories fade as the Alices continue their 'game'. As the new nautically themed area opens new residents of the castle seem to have appeared. A family of living dolls has moved themselves into the dining hall while a lovesick apple tree familiar from Friday seems to have taken root in the garden. Along with the graveyard in floor three the Alices seem to want you to remember your fallen friends in some very... different ways.

Maybe the upcoming holiday will distract the Alices from moving their game along? Only time will tell.

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[Welcome to Week 4! Don't forget to submit your memory losses and your weekly AC here. The Alices can be found in their audience hall. As always, don't forget to turn in threads forfabulous prizes.]

[He's so cute! She kicks her feet a little.]

Mm-hm. I know maybe not everyone wants to see me right now but I heard it was an unbirthday party. [Tentative giggle.] Unbirthdays are a great reason to celebrate.

[xxxx_me]

Can't they be any day, though?

[Still, he's not saying no. And he's eyeing those gifts curiously.]

[twinverses]

That's the point, Allen. If you need a reason you can just make one up! Oh, um. Here...!

[She hands him his gift. It's easier to handle than Seven's at least.]

I.. thought you might be having trouble sleeping and I dunno what to get boys so... [Have a fluffy sheep.]

[xxxx_me]

[He accepts the present, looking down at it for a moment before he looks up at Alice again.]

If this is how parties usually are, I guess that's understandable. [Since he's missing his memories of them now...] Thanks for the present, Alice.

[twinverses]

[She smiles a little.]

At least I think that's how it goes. I dunno if Mommy or Daddy held a lot of them. [Hello, fellow amnesiac.] I'm glad that you're taking it.

[xxxx_me]

[Opening it up!!]

[xxxx_me]

[-Ah!]

It's a sheep.

[twinverses]

You seemed like you were having some problems sleeping and counting sheep can help.

[xxxx_me]

[-Er.]

Did you hear that?

[twinverses]

No, um...

[You... kind of look like a mess. She gestures to him.]

You have circles under your eyes...

[xxxx_me]

[raising a hand to his face. ah. yes.]

O-oh... I guess so.

I did have trouble sleeping this week...

[twinverses]

I just noticed when you saw me last. You were so upset I didn't say anything then.

[She fidgets with her skirt.]

I thought having something nice and fluffy would help you sleep.

[xxxx_me]

Well... thank you. It does look nice to hold onto.

[Smiling! Alice is trying her best and he appreciates it.]

[twinverses]

Mm! I'm glad you like it.

[It's not a fluffy kitty but she thought that. Might not go over well.]

[xxxx_me]

[She is correct!]

Are you going to try the food while you're here?

[twinverses]

Yeah! I've been having plenty of tea and cookies but I want to try some other things.

[A giggle.]

The tea here tastes funny.

[xxxx_me]

Funny? How is it funny?

[He mostly drinks milk or water.]

[twinverses]

I don't think I've had tea flavored like butterscotch before.

[xxxx_me]

...Is that what it tastes like?

[Now he's curious.]

[twinverses]

Mm. I don't think it tastes bad just... weird?

[She's also English and is questioning this decision.]

[xxxx_me]

...Well, there's soda and cakes and stuff to try, too.

[twinverses]

Ooh, that sounds good. I bet it's sweet. I dunno where to start but I can find out.

[xxxx_me]

There's a bunch of them over here.

[Still holding onto the sheep, he'll lead the way to the soda bar!]

[twinverses]

Do you have a favorite, Allen?

[xxxx_me]

Hmm... I don't think so? They're all different.

[Is that so, Allen.]
