Alicia wasn't sure what she had been expecting, but at least this time around arriving in Dan's dimension had been a little less unexpected. Compared to suddenly waking up there, this time a portal simply appeared in front of her while she was in Beacon HQ> Then it was just a simple matter of stepping through to a winter wonderland. For a moment she hesitated, held back by memories of last time. But they'd handled Dan easily enough once the deception had been revealed before, so there probably wouldn't be the same amount of trouble again. Having overcome that moment of doubt, she stepped through along with the others. On the other side Alicia found herself in a ski lodge decked out for Christmas. It reminded her of a vacation she'd gone on once, though that was a lifetime ago by now. There was a giant christmas tree, presents, a fireplace, all the trappings you would expect. She had ended up in much the same way, her [url=https://i.imgur.com/rsZ30mO.jpg]costume[/url] transformed into a christmas themed parka. It was in the spirit of the seasons, though perhaps not as festive as everyone else. No doubt the rest of the dimension was like this too. More snow seemed apparent out the window, though she didn't get to see much from her vantage point. Lily soon approached, and Alicia greeted her with a mild hug as she was hugged first. [color=aba000]"Nice to see you too Lily. Merry Christmas, I suppose."[/color] Once Lily had released her she stepped over, holding Kimble's hand with a nod. [color=aba000]"Sally, you make it sound like that's a legitimate question,"[/color] she noted happily. Unless that girl from the raid showed up again, there was no question that Sally would be lucky. The only detail was when her luck would choose to apply itself. Like most occasions such as this, there were plenty of familiar faces. The motorbike girl from the raid, apparently. Maura, Penny of course, Ja-Kayli. Times like these also made evident the faces that were missing, but she did her best to not dwell on that. Just like how she pointedly ignored Justine. [color=aba000]"I guess Maura took her out of the vault,"[/color] she muttered under her breath. she paused as Mariette approached with a large sack, eying the girl cautiously. Un-mind warped she might be, but that did not mean Alicia forgave her. Not when she had done little to actually earn it. Their eyes remained locked as she reached into the bag and pulled out some kind of dinosaur, possibly a stegosaurus, which she made little move to acknowledge. [color=aba000]"Thank you,"[/color] she said, succinctly and definitively. This was another present from Dan, nothing more. Moving on from that, she generally wandered as her phone buzzed with a text from Penny. [color=aba000][i]'Sounds good, I'll keep that in mind'[/i],[/color] she shot back. Which was enough to carry her through most of the discord. But once she did catch wind of what was going on, she glanced over to Kimble. [color=aba000]"We should probably get out of here before the patrons start trying to out-weird each other,"[/color] he observed, already moving for the door. Discretion was the better part of valor, and these seemed particularly boisterous. [sub][@Shifter_Master][@PlatinumSkink][@Ariamis][/sub]
