text;

ok so
fuck. wait.

[the text function switches over to video, which takes a bit longer than expected, because effy has never touched something so high-tech. she learns quickly, though, and doesn't have any trouble fixing up the feed so it shows her face. her face, thin and dusted with freckles and a button of a nose, is unimpressed. in fact, there's hardly much emotion showing besides a small twitch of her brow when she speaks up. around her, it is quiet. her voice is soft with a hint of a rasp. she is smoking.]

Right then. Don't really know where I am, but I don't think I'm awake. You know, how in dreams, it feels like you've been doing something for hours and hours, but when you wake up, it's just been fifteen minutes?

[she glances down, straight hair sweeping in front of her face as she takes a drag from her cigarette. when she looks up, she exhales, smoke dissipating into the air around her.]

Feels like that.

[she gives a sly smile,]

But it isn't a dream, is it?

[with one last flicker of mischievousness in her eyes, she shuts the locket.]

(ooc: effy is also wandering around the castle of caer scima, so if you want to do an action thread and have your character stumble upon her, feel free! i'm up for anything c:)

[she blinks slowly, but then she wonders: does this woman not know of alice in wonderland?]

That's not it. Alice in Wonderland; it's a story where a girl falls down a rabbit hole and ends up in a strange world.

[tawarwaith]

There were no rabbit holes involved here... At least I don't think there was. I was taken against my will by the imps and so was brought here asleep.

[She pauses a moment, then adds what she hopes might be helpful:]

There is an Alice Liddell here, she is a friend of mine.

[mdma]

No, they're weren't.

[she lets out a laugh, not because she thinks tauriel is joking, but because the thought that an alice liddell lives in the drabwurld. she thinks it has to be a coincidence. maybe her parents were really, really into alice in wonderland book.]

Wow. Maybe I'll look her up sometime.

[tawarwaith]

[Tauriel smiles a little at that. She really has no idea that Alice is seen as a fictional character.]

I'm sure she would not mind another friend or two, but I must warn you to be cautious in your dealings with her. There are times where her mind becomes troubled.

[mdma]

[now that piques her interest even more. effy perks a little, eyes alive with intrigue.]

What's that supposed to mean?
