Never ends well."[/color][/url] [color=888888]— Alice Mason[/color] [hider=Alice's Stats] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5657563]Alice Mason[/url] Max MP: 80 Current MP: 80 Casting: N/A Gear: Goggles (Inactive), Ka-Bar Knife (5/5 Durability) Leveraging: N/A [/hider] [/center] So was this an attempt to delude one's self into believing everything's all peachy, or were these two genuinely unaware of fates worse than death? Thoughts aside, Alice didn't actually say much. Her eyes did widen when Bionca pulled her in by the waist like the three of them were merry drunkards doing a pub crawl. Ok, yeah, this might as well happen. The syncronized steps were a bit overkill but- ... Out the corner of her eye did Alice knowingly look, her clock eye gleaming. Ah. Her intuition remains justified. [color=8c5673]"Hmm...[/color] Though she knew better than to scare whoever it was off by warning Jack and Bionca then and there. Don't want to be rude when everyone's going to the same destination. She'll deal with that one, in time. Speaking of which! Alice quitely broke off from the other two soon as they arrived, mentally taking count of everyone who made it. Mavericks were all new faces, GEMINI was in a sorrid state, and there's the demon. She was barely even paying attention to Dan listing off the available until someone brought up the elephant in the room. Cultists. Right, even if people can't hurt each other right now, that doesn't automatically uncorrupt the corrupt. Alice let out a heavy sigh. Then the illustrious leader of GEMINI continued to pry into Dan after Iris [i](and uh, whatever Kidd was more concerned over?)[/i], implying the possibility that he may indirectly have something to do with the dissapearances. [color=8c5673][i]Wasn't he summoned by her deal with Bookman?[/i][/color] Alice thought, catching the beach ball aimed at her and chucking it back. [color=8c5673][i]Maybe she forgot to read the fine print. It's always the damn fine print.[/i][/color] She chuckled to herself. Right, taking one more glance over everyone, Alice moved over to the picnic tables. Even if they can't trust the food, it wasn't like she couldn't handle a little poison. Besides that, there was enough space for someone else, if they choose audacity.
