And It's Way Nicer This Year Too

[save_us_alice]

Oh yes, you know the drill. Birthday times for Alice! We've got blue and white streamers held up with little cardboard Vorpal Blades, and a splash of red confetti across the tables and floor. The jukebox is on too, and playing a medley from both the original game and "Alice: Madness Returns" -- because while this Alice may be from the first game only, she still likes her sequel. Come, eat, drink, and be merry!

"I suppose that's all that really matters," Butterfly Boy shrugs, then laughs along. "Butterfly hats! Maybe I could talk to Richard about making a mechanical version."

Marty snickers then shrugs. "We've been to the Nexus. Weird-looking creatures don't really even get much of a double-take anymore. I was just surprised to see claws on something horsey-shaped."

"I'm not so much," Butterfly Boy responds, smirking at him. "I live in Secundus, after all."

AL laughs. "But you live in England. There's rarely any sun in England." She snickers. "I guess maybe you could block the haze in the clouds."

"Well," she says to Marty, "think of him has being part dragon. They usually have a little claw or two on their wings. Not the dragon wings on my unicorn form, but if I had a dragon form it probably would."

"Perhaps not, but there's plenty of reasons to wear a hat besides blocking out the sun," Butterfly Boy says. "The fun factor, for one thing."

"Look out, I think you inspired him," Secundus Marty laughs.

Regular Marty nods his agreement. "Yeah, that makes sense. Suppose you could call it a dragoncorn or something."

AL laughs. "That's okay."

"I already have a mernicorn - looks like a mermaid except she's unicorn instead of human. So dragoncorn isn't that far off if they don't already have a species name." AL shrugs.

"Dragcorn?" Lucy suggests, then shakes her head. "No, it sounds like a lousy racing event. Unidrag -- nope, that's worse. Dragocorn? Dragicorn? Dragonicorn? Eh, all that is is an extra letter shoved in. . ."

AL snickers. "Tell you what: if I ever come across one that isn't a Whorling, I'll ask what they prefer to be called. Every once in a while something like that will pop by Alnilam or some reason or another. And Woodhorn won't attack animals unless provoked."

"Sounds like the best solution to me," Doc says with a smile. "After all, they should get a say in what other people call them."

DG-Victor can't resist the opportunity to shoot Vic a quick look, which she responds to by sticking her tongue out.
