Alice scooped up the scale as Lin asked, balancing it on her head as she mumbled rhymes under her breath. she seemed oblivious to everything around her but she was the exact opposite. the rhymes were simply keeping her thoughts in order as she debated what to do after the tour. she still hadn't been able to find her own artifact, and she had almost resigned herself to never being able to find it at all.

A wide grin suddenly materialized in the air next to Alice, followed by a pair of large eyes.
"Alice dear, what are you up to?" it said, staring at her.
She looked at the face venomously, clearly annoyed by its appearance. "Chess, go away. ive no want to deal with you after that last stunt you pulled. Go bug madigan or Blue." the face slowly vanished with a chuckle, a mumbled "well see" escaping before it vanished.
