♛ 2nd Curious Thought [Video]

[madcuriosity]

[She's pacing in front of the screen. She's also mumbling to herself. Something about "naughty words" and "all of them" but it's clear she's mumbling. Around her is a room full of sketches, she's been practicing although that isn't what is important. She just keeps pacing. If those who could read her thoughts were able to do it through the bracelet, they might find such interesting imagery of total madness. For what is a little curiosity without proper madness? But she pauses finally. A deep breath and then she looks at the screen, finally remembering why she turned it on in the first place. She looks at the screen and then offers those on the other end a brief curtsy.]

I do beg your pardon, but where might I find a chess set? A proper wooden one? I know that there are... ah games that they give us but this is one I'd like to keep for myself. [A simple enough request, of course... but nothing is truly simple where Alice is concerned. She presses a hand to her lips in thought as she gazes at the screen again. Well, why not. The gods certainly don't seem to care regardless.]

If I may ask... out of curiosity, are all the gods like Mr. Thor? [And please, please let them not be, she hopes.] I mean to ask... how often, exactically, do the gods... decide to speak to us? [This was a first for her, although now she understood why so many seemed to dislike the gods. She's got many thoughts going on at once. So many things to think about. So many questions to be curious about, to wonder about.]

[ Pinged by the mention of chess, mostly! ]

I think there's an antique store that sells them. I've got one set, but it's from my world.

[Audio]

[madcuriosity]

How did you get something from your world, Miss?

I don't think they speak with us too often. Though I'll admit I haven't been in Asgard long enough to say it with more certainty than others. Are you all right?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

That's what I thought, to be honest. And I'm not at all surprised.

And no, nothing is alright, sire. The god Mr. Thor was very rude.... I don't know any naughty words but if I did he would be all of them.

If you mean by 'like Mr. Thor' that they're all annoying, then that's definitely true. Those gods are just huge jerks as far as I'm concerned.

[ There's something grumpy in her tone as she says it. ]

And they talk whenever they feel like it.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

It was a sort of regain they granted me... I remember it happened because I was nice to someone.

[ it wasn't a good memory, since apparently people were getting stabbed left and right. ]

[highstakesgame]

Ah? Do you play chess, then?

[Audio]

[madcuriosity]

Oh I see... well, I've not heard from my god but if he's anything like Mr. Thor I might be in trouble.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Jerks... ah! Yes. [Finally! A naughty word! Because calling them stupid and idiots didn't seem nearly as strong as "jerk." Alice certainly felt pulled along by the gods, jerks indeed!]

Oh dear... well this isn't going to be nearly as pleasant as I had hoped.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Why, yes miss, I do! I'm quite fond of it as well!

[highstakesgame]

Excellent! I am always looking for new partners!

Do you need to purchase a new chess board straight away, or would you be satisfied using someone else's for the time being?

I... don't think they are? As far as I can see, they have all their own minds and hearts, though admittedly I haven't had lots of contact with them either.

Why are you asking, though? Did Thor-sama tell you something?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

It seems quite common at this point to say they don't speak much with us.

Nothing worth mentioning, I don't think.... Wait... "sama?" [Hello strange word.]

[voice]

[sexyoldgirl]

I'm sure there are shops that sell them, dear. Or perhaps someone could whittle you one.

[Oh dear. More people being cruel to her little girl. She's not at all surprised to hear Thor's name.]

While I have not spoken to all of the gods, Odin seemed better than his son. Not perfect and polite, mind you, but better.

[Voice]

[madcuriosity]

Miss Tardis! Are you back from holiday?

And someone did mention shops. I do hope it isn't terribly expensive.

Well, if any of them are better than Mr. Thor I shall consider it an improvement.

[integrous]

[ Don't worry, Alice, there's a whole barrel more of insults where that came from. ]

Yeah, don't trust them too much, okay? I bet they'd just mess around with someone like you if they had the chance.

[Video]

[verybigpheasants]

That is impressively rude. [ No really, he is kind of offended on her behalf. Who just goes around being a jerk to little girls, honestly. ] I'm sorry to hear he treated you so disrespectfully.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Well, I'm not forgiving him... not that I think he shall care, but I won't.

[madcuriosity]

Like me? [She looks down at herself.] Why... someone like me? Do they not like little girls?

[madcuriosity]

You play! Oh splendid!

I don't mind playing on someone else's board but I do wish to get my own at some point.

[ Arthur is pinged by the mention of chess. It's been a good, long while since last he played, and it's odd to see so young a child interested. As the message continues, his amusement only grows. Alice, you are adorable. ]

'Exactically?'

[highstakesgame]

Of course!

Very good! We should play in the meantime, until such time as you can find a board of your own.

[integrous]

It's not that they don't like them, it's more.. [ .. how can she say this in a way that doesn't sound mean? She doesn't mean it in any mean way, either way, she just wants to help the girl.. ]

.. Well, when people are younger, they tend to believe things more easily than people who are older.

[Video]

[verybigpheasants]

Lucky us for not being in his house. I don't see where you ought to forgive him, honestly.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Yes, you see, exactly is all well and good. But everyone can say it. Exactically means exactly but even more so. [And she stands by her reasoning.] Don't you agree?
