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?

That's your mistake. [ Brazenly said. ]

Those kind of wounds can't be eased against their will. Men will hold themselves accountable for years until the anguish consumes them even if they have been forgiven by all they've met.

Taking a life is no easy feat, but the true test of character comes after when they close their eyes to sleep after.

Possibly.

[ Alice is showing too much of her darker tendencies in this conversation than normal. Possibly because she would like to say she has no real idea. Alice is young, but the damage left by Rutledge's care is permanent. ]

Just because they have broken minds already doesn't mean they won't degrade further into madness. To do the same thing over and over isn't insanity.

It is not being able to tell from what is real and what is a hallucination.

Is that how it is?

[ She's never had it spelled out that way for her, but then again any talks she's had of morality and sanity were with a sadist priest. ]

Well, I wouldn't know. Usually repeating the same thing over and over again in vain hopes of a different result isn't my style.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of those who chose to do that out there, who would qualify as sane by most.

But that sounds like someone overly stubborn, hardly mad.

Stubbornness can drive a person mad--if not them, then the companions around them.

[ Rin is all too familiar with feeling the after effects of another human being's stubbornness. It did drive her mad, but unloading that on a stranger is in poor taste, so she avoids it. ]

The one I know who would fall along those lines is the most compliant man I know.

[ WELL, BERSERKER IS. ]

But I have no doubts about that. Usually his compliance is enough to drive me up a wall.

[ Don't talk to her about Berserkers............... ]

Then surely he must know how to bring you back down. [ Poking, prodding. No one would tolerate it simply because they could, right? ]

[ TOO LATE. Alice's favorite pass time is to rag on Berserker. ]

No. Believe me when I say he's too dense.
