♛ 6th Curious Thought [Video]

[madcuriosity]

Jack! Jack Jack Jack! Doctor, Miss Tardis! And just... just anyone! [Alice is practically spinning never mind jumping and bouncing. She has drawings all over her walls of the three guardians she met.]

I met them! I met Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny and even the Tooth Fairy! I met them all and they're incredible and amazing and so much better than the stories ever said! Did anyone else get to meet them while they were here!

[She suddenly gasps although not in surprise but in excitement.]

AND HE KNEW! Jack, Doctor, Miss Tardis! Father Christmas knew! [Knew what is left unanswered but she's too excited to explain.]

THEY WERE HERE! I hope everyone got to meet them!

[He is quiet a moment]

....What was he like?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

He was absolutely incredible is what! He was kind and considerate and jolly and I've not enough words to describe him! He was so big! Like he could tower over near everyone here! His beard was long and white and he was just so wonderful, Mr. Tinker!

[Hugo smiles. He never had littler siblings, but he remembers his excitement of imagining Pere Noel when he woke up to presents during the winter holidays] ]

Did he give you a present?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

He gave me a porcelain doll!

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

That sounds perfect for you.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Because it is. There's nothing wrong with a doll.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

I guess. If that is what you wanted.

Was it what you wanted?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

I hadn't thought to want anything. It wasn't Christmas. But... more than that, I don't think even Father Christmas could grant what I wanted most. It isn't his place to stop a war.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

...Stop a war?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

The one we're in, Mr. Tinker.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

....This one...is not so bad.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

There's no such thing as a good war, Mr. Tinker.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

No. But there are worse wars that this.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

War is war. It doesn't matter what is worse or better. At the end of the day the name doesn't change. Simply because there are worse wars doesn't change what this is.

[horlogerie]

...

[He's quiet a moment before he nods]

That is true.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

[This has become quite the somber conversation, considering how it started.]

...

Was there something else you wanted to discuss?

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

[He shifts his gaze]

Can I ask you something, Alice?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Hmm? Of course.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

You've been to other worlds before... right? The one through the looking glass?

[He'll take a moment to believe the little girl had been telling the truth about that place]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

And Wonderland, why do you ask?

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

How long would you stay there?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

You have to understand, Wonderland and the Looking Glass... are much madder places than here. But I suppose... a month at most, maybe even two if I felt so inclined. But I wouldn't... I wouldn't want to stay there for months or years.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

But could you come and go as you liked? Or were you stuck there, like here?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Well... [She had the ability to visit them again, considering...] I hadn't known at the time I could come and go as I pleased, though I do now. And no one was exactically insisting I'd be there for more than a day or two.
