[Johannes is tucked safely into his thankfully dry lab, but there is a shadow on his face. He is operating by candlelight.]

Alice has stopped answering me, and her communicator is offline. I believe she may have gone home. Just an announcement for those of you who might have known the child.

[And, with a distinct scowl, he ends the feed.]

[Video] 1/3 I think

[feel_nevermore]

[See that vacant stare from Raven? Because she knows already. But you're making it real. How dare you? She wants to hate you for that because she has to hate someone for that.]

[Video] 2/3

[feel_nevermore]

[She can cope with anything. Being left tortured in a burning building. Having tea and a friendly chat with Lucifer. The Apocalyse. You name it. But this? She can not. She bites her lips hard enough to draw blood. She can feel that last bit of self-control she's managed to keep up about to snap. Denial is her only exit. And so she clings onto it.]

She's not gone.

[Video] 3/3

[feel_nevermore]

[She looks up now, staring at Johannes with such anger in her eyes. There's a growl to her voice too.]

You let Alice go alone into the wastelands? And during an event? Are you fucking irresponsible?

I'm gonna go look for her now. And once I've found her, next thing you'll know she's moving out.

[He gives her a look, because it's so much easier to deal with being irritated with her than the possibility that he might actually care that Alice is gone.]

Are you a complete fool? Why would I let a child into the verdammt Wastes?

She's gone home, you ridiculous girl.

[hyuugahime]

Alice-chan ? O-Oh no ...

[Someone's roommate is going to go ballistic.]

[soulcontracts]

She'll be fine. She's gone home.

[hyuugahime]

It's not her I'm worried about.

H-How's Horst-san?

[soulcontracts]

I wouldn't know. I haven't spoken with him.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

... it's better that she's gone back. This is a dangerous place to live.

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Agreed. Better tea back at home for her, too, I imagine.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

She seemed very happy while she was here, though.

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Lucifer is quite literally running around outside. This was no place for her.

[capuletnomore]

Miss Alice....

[She looks as though she may cry. Bubbles will take the news badly.]

We were speaking not long ago of her desire to return home and become a proper lady. It seems she has gotten her wish.

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Good. She'll have something to do to keep her busy, then.

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

She had much to do here as well, sir. She was attempting to become a proper lady within the limitations set upon her in this place.

[Are you never cheerful?]

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Fat lot of good that did, considering she likely forgot every second of it the moment she went home.

[Nope.]

[proverbed]

I'm sorry to hear that.

voice;

[soulcontracts]

No reason to be sorry. It hardly bothers me.
