Windy Birthday

[save_us_alice]

Well, in the mun's world -- Doc's doing his best to keep things down to a light breeze near the Inkwell. As it stands, though, the real focus is on everybody's favorite imaginative killer, Alice! Birthday time has come around again, as it always does, and today the Inkwell is done up in red and blue to commemorate the occasion. There's plenty of snacks and such about -- the March Hare has even done little candy snarks, which the mun is taking waaaay too much pleasure in biting the heads off of -- so come on in and enjoy yourself!

AL feels like a derp. "Oh, I see," she says. "See, the alter ego doesn't really use Dreamwidth all that much except to talk to V about that ridiculous dragon game." She half-glares but there is no malice at all in the expression; she really doesn't think it's ridiculous. "Thanks for that, by the way. I've always wanted islands floating above my house."

The guys snicker.

"Shut up. Anyways, she doesn't, like, check anything but V's journal on Dreamwidth so, again, all we know is what she links to to be honest. Given the opportunity I'm sure the alter ego would read every little thing every where about everything but then I'd have to pry her out of her chair to get some sunlight." She eyes V again. "I don't know what it is about your stories but she doesn't just throw me into any old universe. Don't get me wrong, I love being a part of it, even if it's just an alternate part of it, but yours is the first fanfiction she's written fanfiction of. I'm just glad your universes, when they aren't all angsty, are so much fun." She laughs.

"Grow mushrooms -- that's what the game says you should be doing," Vic snarks back. "And really? Huh. I'd say I don't use it all that much either--"

"But roughly fifteen accounts, most of them for roleplaying characters, would prove you wrong," Forgotten deadpans.

"Well, you're always welcome here," Alice assures her, patting her arm. "We're happy to have you, even as an alternate part of things. And I'm glad you think our universes are fun. We don't always think that, but so long as someone's getting some enjoyment out of them. . ." She still wonders WHY people love playing her games sometimes. I mean, really -- it's fighting for your sanity across a hellscape? That's fun?

"And I...well, we appreciate being a part of things. Being able to come here and hang out."

"Away from the cold..." adds Tommy.

"And the wind..." finishes Jesse with a wink at Clockwork.

"And that V lets the alter ego play around in her worlds." AL says. "Maybe, Alice, it's the satisfaction of completing the game and seeing that hellscape become something beautiful?" She's hoping she's describing the outcome right because it's been a very long time since the LP was watched.

"Oh, so you're only here to take advantage of my weather powers," Doc jokes. "I see how it is."

Alice chuckles, then nods. "I suppose so. People seem to like the endings of both games, even if Londerland was proclaimed to be at least a little confusing. And it's very satisfying to me to see Wonderland restored. Not surprising it would be the same with others."

AL sidles up to him and puts an arm around him with a grin. "Nah, not just that. We also enjoy the company. I probably would never have gotten Erik to where he is today without you guys."

Said former Phantom may be sitting quietly with his mask on but he isn't hiding in a dark corner anymore.

"And," she says to Alice, "aren't you getting a new game? Or at least there was talk about it? Who knows what wonders will come out of that. Being able to kick some ass and take some names to vanquish evil is always satisfying."

"I suppose we're just good at drawing people out of their shells," Clockwork notes, giving Erik a nod. "Which is curious, when you consider that many of us aren't really that social."

"A series of shorts featuring me in the minds of various famous persons," Alice says. "If those drum up enough interest, then maybe I'll get a third installment of the game." She grins a little. "Though I agree. There is a certain pleasure to being able to destroy your enemies."
