entirelybonkersI seem to be missing quite a few pieces of my armor, and I would very much like them returned to me, if at all possible. I should think that Mirana would be very displeased indeed were I to ever return to Underland sans leggings.
((ooc: Backdated to the day after this. She is missing her armor -

Text - Boots, please?
Date: 2010-08-20 01:11 am (UTC)Text - all yours <3
Date: 2010-08-20 01:17 am (UTC)It's only the finest armor in all of Underland - so terribly shiny that it might just blind you if the sun hit in the right spot, terribly fitted, it's made for me, you see - so it's not exactly large enough for anyone other than me. The craftsmanship is entirely unmatched.Video/Text
Date: 2010-08-20 01:19 am (UTC)Are these yours?
Text
Date: 2010-08-20 01:23 am (UTC)Ah, yes - those are most certainly part of the set.Text

Date: 2010-08-20 01:54 am (UTC)[Though perhaps not as soon as he normally would. His steps are slowed as he continues to look, hoping to spot a head of either red hair or blond. Even though they both have disappeared from the ship's network, it is too soon for him to be willing to give up his search.
Still, some minutes later, Alice will hear a knock on her door, and if she opens it she'll find a tall man with long pointed ears holding her armored boots.]
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-21 01:34 am (UTC)Unfortunately, it hasn't.
Pulling the door open to greet Phoenix (whom, she is now realizing, she has never met - she is certain this is a terrible first impression, losing things as important as armor), Alice tries, and fails, to smile.]
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-21 02:06 am (UTC)He's just not exactly interested right now. Too soon, and his emotions are still to volatile with the loss he hasn't admitted.
Instead he simply holds out the boots.]
I believe these belong to you?
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 02:41 am (UTC)She stands to the side to admit him, then holds out her hands a bit desperately for her boots.]
Yes, that would be them, thank you so very much, Phoenix - Mirana would be so terribly displeased with me were I to inform her that I had lost them.
Re: commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 10:57 am (UTC)Inclining his head, he hands the boots to her.]
You are welcome, Alice. Is there anything else I can do?
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 11:08 am (UTC)I suppose there isn't, there really is very little one can do in this sort of situation aside from returning items to their proper owner. Odd, how your things are scattered upon your untimely demise, don't you think?
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 11:46 am (UTC)Is there anything else you are missing?
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 11:54 am (UTC)[She nods.]
Yes. The leggings that go with this armor, along with the shoulder pieces and the breastplate. If you do happen to see any of that, I would very much appreicate it if you could let me know.

Date: 2010-08-23 12:11 pm (UTC)I wore it when I slayed the Jabberwocky, that would be why, in certain places, it is a bit bespeckled with purple.
Re: commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 12:16 pm (UTC)I will certainly keep an eye out for them.
In the mean time, I had best be off.
[He isn't feeling as social as normal and he wants to continue looking for Ashelin and Odette.]
Good day, Alice.
commentlog
Date: 2010-08-23 02:25 pm (UTC)I do hope your day turns out a bit better than mine. [He looks a bit down.]
Good day.
[She'll be leaving too, but in the opposite direction. She needs to find the rest of her armor.]
Audio! Chest piece? :3
Date: 2010-08-20 01:28 am (UTC)A-Alice! You're okay! What....happened to me...After I-...Did you all take care of the...bears?
[The first bit of good news in awhile, Mals voice seems to be a mix of joy and tired sadness...He doesn't seem to notice that when she mentions missing armor, she's in the same situation as Malkus is...or was...er still is...somewhat.]
[text]
Date: 2010-08-20 01:51 am (UTC)What. This...this wasn't possible.
Or maybe it was, considering she was sitting here on her bed and not dead, either - especially since she very vividly remembers being eaten by bears.]
...Malkus? You're alive! I saw you...saw you die...
I rather think the bears took care of us.
[There's a reason this post is text. She can't control her shaking right now. She's in no state to be broadcasting voice or video.]
[Audio]
Date: 2010-08-20 02:16 am (UTC)[He takes a gulp as he feels his heart sink into his stomach, only being able to imagine what happened after he died...What she saw.]
...Alice I'm sor-..M-Miss Alice...s-sorry...
[He tries to force back tears at the thought of her being killed by bears. Sorry if he's slowly becoming less able to talk as the back of his throat begins to burn, due to trying his best not to break down again...He can't let her hear him like this. His comm clicks off just as Alice hears Mals voice begin to tremble.
He's not going to cry, his eyes have dried up. That's not going to stop him from feeling pretty horrible though.]
[text]
Date: 2010-08-21 01:50 am (UTC)I...I did.[Alice feels like her stomach is twisting into knots, it's a feeling not unlike when she's shrinking or growing, not pleasant whatsoever and entirely nauseating.
Malkus' comm clicking off causes a near panic in Alice. She swaps to voice in her haste.]
Wait, Malkus - !
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-21 02:54 am (UTC)Malkus is completely motionless, only moving to flick the comm back on immediately after Alice speaks...]
...
[He can't...talk...all that's heard is an occasional sniffle from a runny nose. Maybe a small "erk" or "h-he-" like he's doing his best to respond but he really feels about as low as he can feel.]
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-23 02:44 am (UTC)Still - seeing someone you care quite a bit for die before your eyes, and then dying yourself only to be resurrected in the nude on your bed was unnerving, disconcerting, and disorienting.
She clears her throat, and keeps her audio on, and tries very hard to be strong, for the both of them.]
Well. We are alive now, so that's that, right? There's little reason to continue to dwell on the past so we might as well move forward and do our best to put what happened behind us. I rather think we've learned out lesson at least, don't you?
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-23 03:44 am (UTC)M-May I...come to your room...Alice...E-Erm...I-If I find something of yours...to return...
[He's doing his best not to cry, but he isn't doing a very good job at hiding it, his voice is trembling and on the verge of tears.]
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-23 03:54 am (UTC)[Alice is finding that trying to be strong and actually doing it are two vastly different things. Her tone wavers, and it becomes a bit desperate.]
Please.
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-23 04:06 am (UTC)Malkus decides to carry the chest piece with him as he rushes down the hallway, his ghostly bedsheet floating and waving behind him as he runs in bare feet. (All he's got at the moment are his pants and his bedsheet)]
I-I'm on my way, Miss Alice!
[audio]
Date: 2010-08-23 11:06 am (UTC)Do be careful, Malkus-!
[audio/commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-23 09:17 pm (UTC)[Another small tumbling noise is heard as Alices voice catches Malkus off guard as he runs down the stairs, making him trip down the last few head first.]
I-I'm alright!
[If she glances down the hall for awhile, she'll see a tall ghostly sheeted figure running down it in her direction, speaking with a rather familiar voice.]
M-Miss Alice! A-Are you alright?
[That's Malkus for you. He fell down the stairs and almost broke his ankle but he's going to ask YOU if you're okay first.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-23 11:25 pm (UTC)You're really alive-!
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-23 11:39 pm (UTC)Y-You are too! I'm so glad you're okay...e-erm now, atleast...But you're okay!
[He clings to her, rather tightly. Dropping her piece of armor with a CLANG.]
...I-I'm sorry...for not being able to do anything...I'm so sorry...
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-23 11:43 pm (UTC)Don't be ridiculous-! There wasn't anything anyone could have done, and...and I just...
[CLING.]
I'm so glad you're alright!
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 12:16 am (UTC)H-Heh, Miss Alice. I-I can't see!
[Normally he'd freak and panic but he's too busy clinging to be concerned. He gives another small laugh.]
A-And still...I shouldn't have been...foolish...
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 12:56 am (UTC)Malkus...why are you wearing a sheet?
[It gets an affectionate tug, but then her arms are around him again, and she's burying her head in his shoulder.]
If you're going to be like that, then we were both quite foolish. [Sniff.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 01:14 am (UTC)[He isn't aware that this answer makes no sense, not at all.]
I-...I suppose so...I'm glad you're alright...
[He doesn't feel like he's said that enough, so he'll say it again! Malkus never lets his arms leave Alice after that, he nuzzles into her as she presses her face against his shoulder. He was so afraid that he'd never see her again.
This curiously wonderful person who had brought her tea and scones on his first day here, despite being a complete stranger.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 01:43 am (UTC)[She chokes a little laugh, but doesn't let him go.]
I am ever so glad that you are as well - I...this boat would be quite unbearable were you not on board. [If he'd died, been lost forever...why, Alice wouldn't know how to handle it. The loss of her Hatter and Godric had been a blow, but to lose Malkus, too?
Unthinkable.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 02:00 am (UTC)[He lets out a long sigh, he's still trembling slightly but it's because he's overjoyed, now...]
A-And I promise not to dissappear on you... Alice...Atleast I'll damn well try my hardest not to. [There's another small laugh.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 02:07 am (UTC)[He gets a comforting pat - a hand to rub his back, maybe calm him so slightly. It always used to work when Alice's father did it. Perhaps it will here, too.]
And I will do my absolute best to never disappear on you either. [Though it's hard to say where the rabbit hole will pull her next, One can never tell.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-24 02:20 am (UTC)[Malkus returns the smile, unseen under this cloth.]
I promise. [nod]
[The pat seems to work, slightly. He's stopped trembling, atleast.]
That's good, Miss Alice...I'd be very displeased if you were to just up and leave, forever.
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-25 01:36 am (UTC)Well, I imagine that if I were to do such a thing, I'd be off on another grand adventure in another rabbit hole, so perhaps it wouldn't be to bad, hm? [She gives a good-natured smile, then leans to pick up the piece of her armor that he had found.]
Would you like a cup of tea?
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-25 02:41 am (UTC)[He reaches out towards her armor.]
I'd love a cup of tea, if that's an invitation for one...
[commentlog]
Date: 2010-08-27 11:39 am (UTC)Oh, it most certainly is an invitation. [Nodding firmly, she hooks her arm under his free sheeted one, and nods in the direction of her room.]
Shall we?
