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!

Simon's the first up, with a grin and a small package wrapped in bright blue. "Happy birthday, Alice! I'm sort of paying back your gift to me."

"Are you now?" Alice opens up the gift -- to find a little first-aid kit, with a roll of bandages, some generic band-aids, ointment, cotton gauze, and medical tape. "Oh! Yes, I see," she giggles.

"Yup -- I thought that would be useful whenever you're injured somewhere where you can't get to metaessence," Simon nods. "You never know what'll happen."

"No, you don't -- and with us on a road trip in our little Nexus storyline of the moment, this'll be useful, I'm sure," Alice nods. "Thank you very much, Simon."

"You're welcome! Just returning the favor," Simon says, giving her a little salute.
