[digophelia]

[ Alice has spent most of her day in her room, keeping to herself. After Samhain, she's feeling particularly burnt out socially, choosing to make the most of her time with her pet rabbit and her drawings. What she won't mention is that her hallucinations have gotten pretty vivid the past few days and they're riddling her drawings that are sprawled all over around her. Her hands are covered in blue thanks to the pastels. This is one of the weirder things she's drawn, spending a lot of time mindlessly on the face. She only stops once to itch her nose, getting the blue-black residue of the chalk pastels.]

Oh, bother.

[ Alice stifles a sneeze, rubbing it off her nose. Alice stops to adjust her neck.]

Well, I'm going to run out of pastels. I should have gotten them at the Station when I had the chance. Not one of my more finer projects, but I suppose it'll suffice for now. Do they even have these in Caer Scima?

[ There's pieces of paper sprawled out around this young woman as well, but she's not in a room of her own, just one of the many tents available for the festivities. ]

Why not ask the little creatures? They seem to have no trouble providing small things upon request... provided they respect you.

[digophelia]

Therein lies the problem. Not only that, but I don't think they know which ones are better suited for paper.

[ She hates to be picky, but these pastels have the perfect consistency for paper. ]

[ What has she done to possibly upset them? They seem to revere Rin enough and all she's done is create light shows to entertain them at times. ]

Couldn't you teach them? Provided you could have one grow so enchanted with you that they would care to be entertained by what you could provide.

[ Sometimes Alice is too much of a smart ass for her own good. ]

Either they're that dense sometimes or they do it on purpose.

video;

[gandere]

It's more likely the former. Fairies aren't known to be all that malicious when it comes to playing tricks. The imps though... well, surely they are the trickster types.

Do you do this often? [ The art, that is. ]

video;

[digophelia]

When I can.

[ Naturally, Alice doesn't think she's the best, she doesn't have a lot of confidence in herself. ]

When things quiet down, that is.

video;

[gandere]

You consider this quiet? [ There's a party going on and random teleporting. ]

Regardless, it's best to stay indoors for now. I wish I had thought to leave the festivities much sooner, but there was business to tend to.

You could probably sell it. [ Throwing out a suggestion to see how it sits with her. ]

[extramural]

Ah.

[ He's not sure if he should frown or be pleased, to be honest. ]

If I may suggest, Alice? Perhaps set the bone charm a bit further away from you.

video;

[digophelia]

[ And since this is sadly the norm for Alice, when the Outsider comes on her locket, she doesn't think much of it. ]

The bone charm? Why?

video;

[extramural]

Magic that is chaotic in nature can have chaotic effects.

[ He nods toward the locket, toward her. ]

You drew a whale of my world, suspended in the Void.

[digophelia]

[ Actually, hearing this relieves her. He doesn't know, but hallucinations are frequent with Alice. And it really does look like something out of the Deluded Depths. ]

It is? Curiouser and curiouser. If it is something you want me to do, then I will do it.

[ So nonchalant. ]

video;

[extramural]

As always, it is your choice. But it may help.

video;

[digophelia]

I shall since you advised me to.

[ It is honestly one of the more tamer of her hallucinations, but he doesn't have to know that. But hey! Alice is displaying it for him. ]

You can have it, if you like.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[When Lumina sees Alice drawing on the locket, she doesn't bother responding that way, instead after a moment she suddenly appears in a swirl of crystalline sparkles and black energy, perched on the edge of the older girl's bed. She peers down at her art, then grins.]

So what's it supposed to be?

[action]

[digophelia]

[ What is with their little group and appearing from black mist? ]

Whales, I think. I'm not sure; but I guess these ones weren't in the ocean.

[ One of her more stranger hallucinations but also tamer. ]

[action]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oh! Lev talks about those. [Yes she is still calling the Outsider 'Lev.'] I've never actually seen one before, though.

[She hops down and crouches next to one of the drawings.]

They're like giant fish right?

[action]

[digophelia]

He does? [ Alice labeling that coincidental, because it would look like something out of the Deluded Depths. ]

They're not like fish, fish have gills. Whales have lungs.

[action]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah. It's why he wanted to go play pirate, to look for whales.

[Lumina frowns.]

Fish can't have lungs?

[action]

[digophelia]

Are you sure? He wouldn't unless he found it ,I>interesting.

[ Alice even does a small impersonation of the Outsider. Does she really wanna know? Probably, but that's better if she asked him in person. ]

They don't have a need for it; gills let them breathe underwater. Whales have to come up to the surface to breathe -- they have blowholes on top of their heads.

[ziggyzoggy]

Nice whale.

[digophelia]

Really...? So far no one seems to think so.

[ Other than the Outsider. ]

[ziggyzoggy]

[A one shouldered shrug.] Can't everybody have taste.

[BOOM. But they can totes talk about their mutual buddy the Outsider.]

[digophelia]

My friend seems to like it, but I think he has bias for whales to begin with.

[ziggyzoggy]

[[frysquint.jpg]]

...This fellow got a name?

[Because BOY OH BOY does that sound familiar.]

[digophelia]

In a way; he calls himself the Outsider.
