Featuring dialogue from: [@The Irish Tree][hr]<[color=6083ff][i]Unda da sea...[/i][/color]> Alice hummed.

<[color=808080][i]Unda da sea...[/i][/color]> Carroll followed.

<[color=6083ff][i]Darling, it's betta down where it's wetta![/i][/color]> Alice looked to Carroll, beaming.

<[color=808080][i]Take it from -- WHAT THE HELL!?![/i][/color]> Carroll shouted, as Liliana interrupted the impromptu sing-along.

<[color=6083ff][i]Dive! Dive! Dive![/i][/color]> Alice shouted, seeking to descend away from the surface threat of a waterlogged fairy - it was darker under the water, and Liliana was trying to speak like an utter moron, which was disguising her face by the panicked bubbles of her drowning.

<[color=808080][i]Dive! Dive! Dive![/i][/color]> Carroll echoed, before taking Alice by the arm, and using her tail to thrust downward.

However, Alice's hair went up, having zero resistance from gravity, and thus Liliana could grasp it, and get a fistful with her flailing and tangle up her arm nicely. Which played a pivotal role in the sheer pain of being fished out of the water, as Carroll was going in one way, and Liliana was suddenly going in another, as the anchor-weighed rope cast beside the fairy, and snagged her dress.

Like a piece of bait, Liliana, unwittingly, did her job, and served to fish the trio of Mamono out of the water in an arc of monster girl.

Funny thing about fairies: They have never once had to hold their breath under water. From time of birth to death, most water they encountered was manageable. As such, Liliana’s supposed drowning was more of an actual drowning, as the fairy sank like a rock from lack of know-how on swimming. [color=f49ac2][b]"Allisssshhhppp…"[/b][/color] Liliana blurbed, foolishly losing every bit of air her lungs had stored by trying to talk, arm going limp in just the right way to get tangled in Alice’s hair to get yanked along with her.

Alice groaned, as she slapped onto the dock like a wet fish, and slowly rose to her feet. "[color=6083ff][i]What were you thinking!? Who does that!? My hair![/i][/color]" she shouted, as she worked through what was angering her the most. 

Liliana would flop free of Alice’s hair and onto her own back, the fairy waterlogged and slowly spouting water from her mouth like it was a whale’s blowhole. …It was probably becoming readily apparent to Alice that Liliana had dove in without having an inkling of an idea of how swimming worked.

"[color=6083ff][i]Why would you just dive into the water without thinking!? If you can’t swim, would you -- I can’t even comprehend -- I -- Why are you so stupid!?[/i][/color]" Alice threw her arms up in exasperation. Simple-mindness was cute for a season, but when it became life-threatening, things changed.

After sufficiently losing enough water to have her mouth work again, Liliana would cough and hack, before looking at Alice, smiling softly. [color=f49ac2][b]"Because…I don’t…want someone who’s a friend getting eaten by big scary red snake fish ladies…"[/b][/color] she said. [color=f49ac2][b]"Whimsy said you were around someone ‘sketchy’ and ‘smelly’, so…I thought you were in trouble. And a knight never leaves a friend!"[/b][/color]

…Stupid, but entirely chivalric. Such was the fairy knight.

"[color=808080][i]Oi, oi, oi!! You bastard bitch! You wanna fight! We can fight! Right here! Right now![/i][/color]" Carroll shouted, slamming her thicc tail on the dock; the equivalent of banging her haft, since her tail was essentially just that. "[color=808080][i]C’mon! Square up! I’ll show you sketchy and smelly, when I throw you into the goddamn sea -- ON FIRE, YOU ALL NATURAL HARLOT!![/i][/color]"

Whimsy would immediately launch itself at Carroll and begin an epic duel to the death while the camera remained solely on the significantly less important event of Liliana coughing and looking to Alice. [color=f49ac2][b]"Who is that lady? Is she…a friend of yours? Did I mess up again?"[/b][/color] the fairy asked, voice quivering a bit at the end. 

"[color=6083ff][i]That’s Carroll...[/i][/color]" Alice sighed, before sitting down. "[color=6083ff][i]And, no... you didn’t mess up, you dunderhead... just...[/i][/color]" Alice looked for the words in the space between her hands, before she sighed, and leaned back on them. "[color=6083ff][i]You need to think ahead. You’ll never become my First Bladeflower, if you drown, you simpleton.[/i][/color]"

Liliana would be quiet for a moment before curling up on her side, wings spreading out to dry in the sun. [color=f49ac2][b]"...I wouldn’t deserve it anyways. I’ll never be as strong as Rosebu-hey wait, before we keep having a deep talk about my self-”estem” issues, WHO THROWS AN ANCHOR AT PEOPLE IN THE WATER!?"[/b][/color]

"[color=6083ff][i]Moreover, who the hell wears that gaudy rainbow colored armor in the middle of the day in public on purpose without shame,[/i][/color]" Alice asks. "[color=6083ff][i]You look like a tie-dye reject.[/i][/color]"

[color=f49ac2][b]"Yeah! Tye-Die!"[/b][/color]

All the while Carroll was dueling to the death with Whimsy in the most epic animation-budget eating battle that will inevitably mean something later down the line has to be really bad 3DCGI.

Attention shifted away from the water, and onto ragging on their savior, Alice would pay no mind to the duel of the fates behind her; more interested in digging on Ian’s (lack of) fashion sense, despite being a naked, hatless Mad Hatter in the middle of the docks.

Truly, there was no file that could prepare anyone for the full experience of Wonderland.
