33rd Doll

[hangedhourai]

*Alice picks up the phone. Her normally composed and stoic voice seems a bit shaken. She's breathing just a bit more heavily than normal

A-Are you okay or...?

[hangedhourai]

Probably not... I'm thinking about this.

[artwithknives]

What's wrong?

I just...what do you mean about what you said?

[hangedhourai]

Gensokyo is in my fireplace. I crawled through and visited.

... I'm not insane, it really is there.

[wizardoftheweek]

-.... Fuck it. Patchy heads on over. This is not something she can handle over the phone.-

[hangedhourai]

*The door's open, Patchy. Might as well barge in; Alice probably won't answer the door.*

[wizardoftheweek]

-BUT THAT'S WHAT MARISA DOES.

... Well she barges on in anyways.-

[hangedhourai]

*Alice is sitting in front of the fireplace with her legs against her chest. It's doubtful that Patchouli will be able to tell by standing far away but closer up if she looks inside she will be able to tell that it truly is an entrance to Gensokyo... At least this means that Alice is still sane.*

[knowthestakes]

[Skipping around the house, giggling and hanging candy canes anywhere that she can, apparently oblivious to Alice. There's a spell book clasped tightly under one arm.]

[hangedhourai]

*Alice doesn't really notice Margarita either. She's too focused on sitting in front of the fireplace and staring at it.*

[knowthestakes]

[Eventually glances at Alice, sitting there all quiet. In a rather obnoxiously perky tone:]

Hey, what's got you all down in the dumps? It's Christmas! Show some spirit, yeah?

[and then she immediately deflates a little]

Not like I can talk, though....I'm such a ☠☠☠☠.

[hangedhourai]

*Okay, even a depressed Alice turns her head at that.*

What did you say?

[updollsdresses]

Are you still using that?

[He has a lot of coal to burn, man; he needs that fireplace.]

[hangedhourai]

Are you an idiot?

*You should be able to see what's inside that fireplace, man.*

[updollsdresses]

I just don't think it's very fair, you hoarding the fireplace the entire day. Some people might want to use it.

[bitch do you even know how much coal I got here]

[hangedhourai]

If you use it my chance to get home might go away! Think of this as an opportunity to get rid of me.
