[Alice has decided that while this place is quite lovely and indeed fascinating, it unfortunately does not compare to Underland. Still though – the opportunity has arisen for more exploration now that the halls and decks aren’t quite so ominous, and is still very curious and very much worth said exploration.

She has also decided you are all, indeed, quite mad ♥

Her feed cuts in as she speaks to herself, and you get a wobbly view of Alice's current dress, which looks to be made...of tablecloths.]

-articularly lovely, I think I like this boat quite a bit.

Marvelous! I’ve never thought to attempt to walk on walls or ceilings before sit, yes, I've certainly sat on the ceiling but to walk-! I must say – it’s certainly a new experience. I rather think Mother would be appalled.

[Alice is on Deck 16, and currently standing on the ceiling. Have a quick, approximately fiften second view of Alice's hair in the communicator, before the room shifts again and this time, it's sideways due to her feet now being firmly planted on the wall.]

Are all the decks this odd, I wonder?

Mine is merely host to luggage.

Oh, it was on - does it have a mind of its own...?

This one is extremely ingenious - why, right now I'm walking on walls.

Wouldn't walking on something temporarily render it a floor by definition?

[Total deadpan.]

Your perspective, dear Godric, needs widening!

To the inclusion of?

Why, the possibility of sitting on the ceiling, of course. I have done it before, you know.

In this Underland of yours.

You don't believe me, do you?

Quite the opposite, Miss Alice.

It's quite alright if you don't.

In a place like this, I think the least I can do is believe your story.

Now that, sir, is a very good point!

Besides. There are still many people who don't believe in vampires.

Well, that's all right. I thought Underland was a dream, at first. I went years and years and years thinking that's what it was, until suddenly I was just hit with the realization that it wasn't a dream, but instead a memory.

Is it easy to confuse the two?

...Yes.

Though not so much anymore.

Vampires don't dream, thus my curiosity.

Oh?

How long have you been as such? Certainly you dreamed before?

I remember everything, this time.

Over two thousand years. I must have, when I was human, but I remember very little of that life now.

My, the things you have seen, then.

And done.

I keep my running to walls, but there's the occasional ceiling worth scuttling over.

[Prince is intrigued by this. Ceilings that are floors that are walls that are ceilings? It sounds like his kind of playground!]

What deck did you say you were on?

Walls, ceilings, floors, it's all relevant to where you currently are, I suppose. Right now, I do believe it's the wall, but it's terribly hard to be certain about it when the rooms shifts as such.

Sixteen, my good sir.

Sounds like you're a natural to this scaling the walls deal.

[He is chuckling and stretching on his end of things.]

Is there room for another?

Oh yes - along with this, that, and the other.

I should certainly say there is! Would you like to join me, nameless voice from the box?

But not the, then, or there?

I think it's worth a wander that way. I like a good climbable ceiling every once in a while.

[Oh, she likes you.]

I rather think I am very accomplished with those as well, and we also mustn't exclude the who what or why, either.

[Alice loves company.]

As do I. This is all really quite exciting.

Where and how are pretty important things too.

[The Prince is enjoying this; it's been a while since he's encountered someone that takes a joking conversation and just goes with it.]

Hang tight on whatever surface you're perched. I'm on my way.

Most certainly - one can never forget those, especially.

I'll most certainly try, but it becomes a bit difficult when the rooms shifts as such.

By the sounds of things, you certainly have a good head on your shoulders. Nice and sensible.

[There is a beat to his breathing and speaking to indicate steps; he is jogging and talking as he goes.]

You'll just have to teach that room a lesson, won't you? They can be difficulty, but not impossible.

Oh, I do like to think so. Father used to tell me I was quite like him, and he was terribly and delightfully mad.

[She's waiting. Little else to do, really.]

I think I shall, though I adore the novelty of it. Rooms like this belong in Underland, I should think.

Edited 2010-06-06 16:55 (UTC)

Mad's not exactly what I'd call sensible, but I always like to be open-minded.

[You are quite the well-mannered and patient young lady, Alice. Someone ought tell your mother that.

That patience pays off as the Prince arrives on the deck and looks around.]

Well this place doesn't look all that ba-- whoa!

[Was that the 45 second mark? The Prince grabs the wall automatically, wait, that looks like a ceiling now and he's hanging off of it with his gauntlet.]

...that's a new one.

[Alice is currently strolling in line as though on a balance beam, and when the room shifts, she moves with it, reaching to catch hold so she doesn't fall.]

Isn't it simply marvelous?

[The Prince drops from the wall-turned ceiling before his gauntlet can lose its grip, dusting himself off before he walks to the new wall and pats it a few times.]

That it is!

Does this kind of thing happen all the time in here?

[She releases her hold and drops lightly to the now floor, peering curiously at the newcomer.]

Oh, why I would certainly think so. It seems to me that this rooms shifts its focus approximately every minute.

[Stick close to the walls before they become ceilings, then. There is something to be said about the agility to handle such shifts, and even more to be said about being prepared enough to not fall on your face when it happens.]

This place keeps getting weirder and weirder...

[This coming from the guy taking on a dark god with a princess wielding the power of light. Weird has a whole dearth of meaning to him beyond standard scale, but this boat? Falls right into his gauge of the word.]

[Alice has quite gotten the hang of it since finding this wonderful little room, so she flits across the 'floor' with ease.]

Oh, I know. Isn't it marvelous?

[Alice can't talk much. Her backgrounds as strange.]

I don't know if marvellous is quite the word for it.

[the Prince isn't exactly downcast by this statement, he's just trying to determine the most applicable descriptor to apply here.]

It also depends on what you call marvellous. Give a guy a clue?
