[drinkuntilidie]

By da Loa dis be a whole lotta deja fuckin' vu right now. If I didn't know bettah I'd say dis all happened befuh, which, knowin' places like dis, probably be meanin' dat it did.

Whole lotta new faces I see runnin' round here. Might haftah start sharin' rooms if dey decide to stay. I tell joo right now I ain't be recommendin' it.

Could stick around fuh da tournahment dough if any of joo be feelin' like gettin' a liddle bloody.

Comments

[drinkuntilidie]

Course it be. Ordinary nevah been dat appealin' anyway.

[And he'll just wait there until he sees that familiar blonde.]

Wouldn't joo know it, I happen to be a green troll myself.

[entirelybonkers]

No, never -- I much prefer extraordinary.

[And here she is!]

Well, isn't that something? [She beams, and takes off running right towards him.]

[drinkuntilidie]

Guess I'll haftah make sure I put dat extra into everytin' I do den.

[When he sees her his face splits with a massive grin and he opens his arms to give her a long awaited hug.]

[entirelybonkers]

[She leaps into his arms, flinging hers around his neck and giving him a swift kiss to his cheek, as promised.]

[drinkuntilidie]

[He wraps his arms around her, hugging her as hard as he can without actually hurting her.]

It be so damn good to see joo again sweetheart.

[entirelybonkers]

[Holding him tightly back, because for all she has her calm, this is a new place and NOT the Golden Shore.]

It's lovely to see you as well, Kevas, though I admit it has not really been that long.

[drinkuntilidie]

[At least it's not covered in dead bodies!]

It has fuh me. Haven't seen joo in months. Nevah even knew if joo were okay.

[entirelybonkers]

Months?

[Even Alice has to gape a bit.]

Good heavens, time moves strangely in different places, doesn't it?

[drinkuntilidie]

[He chuckles softly.]

Guessin' it ain't been nearly as long fuh joo huh?

[entirelybonkers]

[A quick shake of her head.]

Not nearly.

[drinkuntilidie]

[He ruffles her hair affectionately.]

At least one of us be lucky den.

[Does this mean the Golden Shore still exists? Or is Alice just out of place in time? He doesn't spend too much time thinking about it. Right now she's here and that's all that matters.]

[entirelybonkers]

[She laughs and gives him another hug, pleased to be here -- wherever here might be -- and around someone she knows.

It's just another rabbit hole, after all. She's fortunate he knows her name!]

Oh, I consider myself very lucky as of now, to be in the company of such a dear friend.

[drinkuntilidie]

[He happily returns the hug. Right now he's more than happy to have another member of his family returned to him.]

Couldn't agree wid jah more Alice.

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice just smiles and winks, then gestures absently with a hand.]

So, do tell me more about this rabbit hold, Kevas -- what are they calling this one, hm? Certainly not the Elegante, and it most definitely isn't Underland though it's far similar to that than a massive oceanliner.

[drinkuntilidie]

[He smirks and makes a grand sweeping gesture to the keep around them.]

Dis, my dear Alice, be Holloways Keep. A place filled wid just as many crazy residents as dere be crazy creatures. Dere be a library wid barely any books, stables filled wid da strangest of t'ings, and pups dat nevah seem to age.

I could tell joo dat it be bettah den dat damn boat, but it really ain't.

[Although with that description she may just think so.]

[entirelybonkers]

Oh, I don't know...it sounds rather delightful.

[She smiles broadly.]

It sounds quite fantastic, really. I think I'm going to enjoy my stay.

[drinkuntilidie]

[He chuckles and smiles with her.]

Long as joo be here I t'ink I will too.

[entirelybonkers]

It'll be a splendid time, I think.

[Se smiles broadly.]

How about a tour? I'd very much like to get familiarized with my surroundings.

[drinkuntilidie]

I t'ink I can help jah wid dat.

[He offers her his arm.]

Aftah all I been all ovah dis place, even in places I shouldn't.

[entirelybonkers]

Brilliant. [She beams, and takes his arm.]

I should very much like to see everything.

[drinkuntilidie]

Don't worry, joo gonna have plenty of time to see it all.

[Let the tour begin!]
