[hr]ATTN: [@PaulHaynek], [@AzureKnight] (Shizuka), [@The Irish Tree] (Liliana), [@Rezod92] (Kerry)[hr]As Alice approached the village approaching the end of a siege from the same band of warriors that she'd just dealt with, she could feel herself growing annoyed at the prospect of having to fight again. Exhausted, she gathered herself and her strength to engage in combat, as she pushed through the treeline, and prepared to --

[quote=Rezod92][color=fff79a]"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU THREE BEEN!?"[/color][/quote]
-- be yelled at?

No.

No, no, no.

Surely, that was just a creation of her exhaustion, and she wasn't staring at the Hornet that just screamed at her for... for... for what even?

Missing all this chaos, like she was just twiddling her thumbs? Just watching from the sidelines, like this was a sporting event, and she had money down?

"[color=976f29][i]Where the fuck was I,[/i][/color]" Alice asks, looking at her nails, before she hit the dash, and blitzed Kerry with Heavenly Strike speed, but driving her fist - not her sword - into Kerry's face; slamming her into the ground, and stomping on her chest. "[color=976f29][i][b]I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, SINKING TWO VARJAN WARSHIPS, AND SAVING A CHILD FROM BECOMING A LIVING SACRIFICE![/b][/i][/color]" she exploded, "[color=976f29][i][b]WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?![/b][/i][/color]"

Alice drew Carroll from her scabbard, her shikomizue blade elongated and crimson, no far cry from the demonic axe form, as she held her at Kerry's face, as she lashed out:

"[color=976f29][i][b]I don't know who the fuck you think you are, Hornet, but you are in the presence of greatness! I have seen the rise and fall of civilizations; risen empires, and felled them the same! I have stood on all four shores of Wonderland, faced The Queen of Hearts and survived all encounters![/b][/i][/color]" 

"[color=976f29][i]I've survived five centuries of war and strife, held a thousand nations, and countless lives in my hands...[/i][/color]" Alice says, sheathing her blade, "[color=976f29][i]I'll say this in no uncertain terms, Hornet,[/i][/color]" she stood straight, "[color=976f29][i]Fuck you and fuck Shizuyama. Burn to the Varjans for all I care. I'm done, and you helped me make that choice by screaming at me on sight.[/i][/color]"

Alice didn't allow for a word in edgewise, as she disappeared via a flash step - battle, no battle, she didn't care.

[i]She had packing to do.[/i]
