003 - video/action;

[Alice is walking along as she does, it's normal for her at this rate to be talking to herself. Muttering, even. She doesn't sound too well.]

People... don't just explode and come back to life.

A- And England surely isn't a living being. I- I'm not mad, I'm-

[She lowers her head as she walks in the streets, even bumps into others as it didn't help.]

But to a crisp- That's real. Is this real? Is all of it?

[A flicker - a glint - of her vorpal blade can be seen as she withdraws it in her hands.]

Foul tricks, they're all better off dead.

[Alice strains, with her free hand, she covers her head as if she's got the worse possible headache in the world. Huffing as she does, in a drop of a hat, Alice keels over to her left side out of sight.]

[Friends?

Alice is drifting in and out of her daze, wobbling as she does. Though this makes her snap green eyes at him. She regards him with a scowl. Out of the blue like that? He wants something, doesn't he?]

Call me whatever you like, it doesn't matter.

[Alice even scoots back.]

All right, Alice it is, then! [Getting up from the ground, he dusts himself off.] I suppose you're not gonna budge even if I urge you to get somethin' to eat.

Do you wanna be left alone?

[Alice always looks thin. Her pale skin and dark circles under her eyes don't help any. And not the way Alice seems to stare off into nothingness before replying.]

I am not hungry.

[Cooly:] Then what's the matter?

[Naturally, she doesn't say to a stranger, Alice just stares, sitting there the way she does. Shoulders sank and her hands in her lap.]

Well, I'm all ears if you've got troubles to tell. Like I said, though, if you wanna be left alone, I'll leave.

[He reaches into his pocket, pulling out a clean pink handkerchief.]

What is that?

[She does want to be alone. Alice won't say anymore, it'd be like pulling teeth from her to get her to talk.]

Something that might come in handy sooner or later. [He approaches her and leans over to offer it.]

[What is wrong with you?]

I don't cry.

Ah... but you do sneeze, don't you? And get your hands dirty, too! [He's weird...]

[Now it just seems like you're looking for an excuse to stay here.]

[He stares at her with keen eyes, tilting his head in question as he stirs the handkerchief with a couple flicks of his wrist.]

Not that I think you're gonna sneeze right now. It's just a gift, that's all. You can even sit on it, if you'd like! Since the ground is a bit dirty.

[Alice doesn't take too kindly to staring, a hand braced by her back and the other makes no notion to grab it. No offense to you, good sir, it makes Alice uncomfortable.]

Aren't we ever the gentleman. Some would think of a hankerchief as a romantic gesture. This is absolutely silly. Why don't you tell me why you're really giving it to me?

[Well, he will sense her discomfort, because that's what Claire Stanfield does. He leans up and away from her, shaking his head slightly.]

I told you, I don't got any ulterior motives, but I guess it can't be helped if you don't believe me.

I'm already engaged, so I'm not tryin' to romance you, if that's what you're thinking. Like I said earlier, I thought that maybe we could be friends and my offer will continue to stand unless you decide to make me your enemy or something.

Anyway, if you want me to get goin' you might as well say so. I promise you I'll leave once you tell me to.

That much was obvious.

[Alice sneers. She snaps to her feet-]

[Like a snap, the vorpal blade is held out, threatening.]

Leave. I have no use for you. I don't particularly like someone forcing friendship on me.

It was? [After she says that much was obvious. He doesn't flinch as he's suddenly confronted with the point of her blade. The scene was a heavy reminder of his first meeting with Chane.] Well, I know that, but I was waitin' for you to say something.

[He gives her a nod, but resists the temptation to step closer due to his respect for her personal space, which was obviously important to her.] I'll be on my way, now. I think you've gotten the wrong impression of me, but I'll just have to fix that later on, won't I?

[He moves to step around her.] Bye, Alice! Take care tonight, all right?

[Her gaze doesn't leave him as he walks around him, eerily enough. Her grip on the blade tightens. Her hand is shaking. Yes, her space is very important to her and Alice has her share of charmers.

It's why it makes her so weary of anyone else similar without being honest.]

[Later on, if she's still there, a faceless waiter from a nearby restaurant will be approaching her and attempting to hand her a cold glass of water with a white handkerchief wrapped around the glass. IT IS THERE TO SOAK UP THE PRECIPITATION.]

[To Alice, it's unnerving. The slightest sounds can make her job at times. To lay eyes on this, Alice visibly flinches at the glass and napkin.

Has she lost it again? Wouldn't it be better to check out?

Reluctantly, she'll take the glass.

It sits there, and Alice is holding her head, straining herself to push out her initial thoughts again.]
