video - open to both courts

[ 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?

[ 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. ]

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?

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.

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

[Lumina frowns.]

Fish can't have lungs?

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.

[Lumina giggles at the impression.] Ask him about whales sometime, trust me. He will not shut up about them.

[She frowns at the fish lungs information.]

But that's dumb. Why would something live underwater if it can't breath underwater.

Then you're better off asking him why; I'm not entirely sure of that myself.

[ Besides, what's so exciting about whales, anyway? ]

Maybe if you're as big as he says they are you just breathe however you want to.

[Big whale on campus does what he pleases!]

I'm sure there's a more practical reason why than it being their own choice, Lumina. They can go further in the ocean. I'm sure it gets very cold.

Proooobably.

So why whales?

They just came to my head.

[ A fair admittance. Any time she drew something, it was spurred from her own mind. Alice turns her attentions to wiping off the blue pastel on her hands. ]

[Lumina has heard weirder reasons than that. Still, she does like figuring out weird things.]

I wonder why whales though. Maybe Lev is getting to you, talking about them.

[ Alice doesn't look at her, she pauses in cleaning up her hands. ]

He hasn't talked to me about whales or the ocean that much. I doubt it.
