5th Curious Thought [Video]

[madcuriosity]

I do beg your pardon.... has... has anyone seen Lord Peter and Lady Gamora?

I haven't seen them all day... but I don't know where they are and they didn't leave any note. [Which... isn't like her surrogate parents. But perhaps they eloped rather than trying for a big ceremony. Alice is trying to remain positive on the matter.]

If you see them, could you please let them know I saved them the sandwiches I made for dinner. [Alice isn't allowed to use the stove alone.]

I waited, I did try.

They didn't leave you a note? How odd.

[madcuriosity]

They didn't tell me, either. They always tell me when they're going to be away for a day.

[sanityinruins]

That doesn't sound good. I can't see them leave without telling you.

[madcuriosity]

Nor I, sir.... but maybe it was something important and they hadn't the time. Or maybe they left a note and it's fallen somewhere.

[ Jim had realized by now that Peter had vanished. He'd gone through the usual steps and all, but seeing that his friend's name was no longer available on the network confirmed what he feared the most.

He didn't even think to check whether Gamora was still around, though. Seeing Alice's post prompts him to check, then he quickly replies to Alice's post. ]

Alice... hi, [ He offers her a small smile, waving at her. ] Can I come meet you? I'd like to talk to you in person, if that's alright.

[ He's not going to deliver this news to her over the network. ]

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Captain, hello! [She offers the captain a curtsy, smiling back even if it falls from her worry. Alice is from the 1800s and the idea of checking a network for names doesn't occur to her. At his question, she nods. It would be one thing to invite a stranger while Gamora and Peter are gone, but Jim used to live there!] And of course you can come and meet me.

Are you going to stay with me until they come back? [Because why else would he want to come over?]

[winscenario]

[ Jim forces his smile to stay the same despite the tinge of sadness that hits him. He nods. ]

Yes, absolutely. I'll come by in a moment, so don't go anywhere, okay?

[ In fact he's already moving, grabbing a jacket and headed for the door. ]

To Action?

[madcuriosity]

Well, that wouldn't be very polite of me. [She thought aloud in an idle tone, whyever would she leave if he said he was coming to see her?] But oh, ah, yes, I will stay right here, Captain.

To Action!

[winscenario]

Alright. I'll see you in a bit, then.

[ He ends the feed with a smile, then takes off immediately towards the Benatar. He expects the ship to still be there, anyway-- if it weren't then Alice probably would be panicking a whole lot more.

Having lived here so long, he doesn't hesitate to come in, though he stops in the hallway so he can call out. ] Alice?

Action;

[madcuriosity]

[Jim will find Alice feeding all four cats and the dog. Above Alice's head is a bowl of food as she tries to get from the counter to where the cats are eating, but Thor is constantly running around her.]

Thor, no, naughty! Down! [She heard her name and looked towards the door.] IN HERE, CAPTAIN!

I... [She checked her phone. Looked for their names. Frowned. Sighed. Slumped down in her seat.] I don't see them on the bracelet network, Alice. I think they went home.

Audio;

[madcuriosity]

Well, of course they're not on the bracelet network, they would have seen this if it were on. [Alice doesn't think of the checking for their name, and she's still learning about the technology that she doesn't understand Terezi.] And they're not home, I've looked all over the ship.

[mindseer]

No, Alice, I mean...

[Groan. She was not feeling it today. Fuck, Peter was gone? She was... kind of glad they went together. It was better that way for both of them.]

I think they went home home. To their worlds.
The gods did say they couldn't control this.

[madcuriosity]

It... just because you can smell lies doesn't mean- doesn't mean you should tell them. [She pressed her lips together and she didn't mean to say what she had, but she didn't want to believe Terezi.]

[mindseer]

Don't you think I wish I was lying, Alice? I don't want them to be gone! I want this to all be some bad prank!

[She sounded like she was banging her head into a wall.]

I... don't want to end up alone here, Alice. I liked them. A lot. They were good people... I really hope they're ok back home.

[ Leaving without saying anything.. That doesn't seem like what Chizuru knows about those two at all. It makes her get a feeling about what's really going on here, but Chizuru isn't sure if she's the right person to deliver that kind of news.. ]

You really haven't seen them all day? It's sweet of you to have waited for them so long.. [ She's trying really hard to find some positive side to all of this! ]

[madcuriosity]

[A small nod.]

I'm not allowed to use the stove or oven by myself but it's not very difficult to make sandwiches. I do know how to make pasta as well, though if someone puts the stove on for me.

I thought it would be nice if they came home to dinner.

[tealeafs]

.. yes, that would be very nice, wouldn't it..?

[ Oh god, this is so awkward if they really are gone. ]

Although if they're a little late, I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you asked for some help.

[madcuriosity]

Oh, I suppose if I wanted to make something like that. I do know how to make biscuits, perhaps we can make some while we wait for them to return.

[tealeafs]

Ah, would it be okay for me to come over and make some with you then? I have some time right now.

[ And honestly, it'll do a lot for Chizuru's own peace of mind to know that Alice isn't just there waiting entirely by herself. ]

[vagabone]

I'll... let them know if they stop by.

[He'll tell her the bad news--he will. Just need to break it to her gently. Preferably face-to-face.] But did you eat dinner? They wouldn't want you to go hungry.

[madcuriosity]

Oh ah, not a very full dinner, just some sandwiches. Nothing fancy at all. I wish I was allowed to use the oven and stove so I could make some soup.

I fed all our pets too. I don't want them going hungry, either.

homg sorry, feel free to drop

[vagabone]

What do you say to me coming over and making some soup for you? I owe you for those cookies and I like to cook, anyway. Not something dead guys get to do very often.

[Well, unless they have money.]

Totally okay, lovely!

[madcuriosity]

I would love to try some of your soup, Mr. Hector! I imagine you're a lovely cook!

[vagabone]

Great! I'll be right over. Be thinking about your favorite soups, let me know what kind of things you like.

[Kiddos can be picky, he knows. Give him ten, fifteen minutes to show up at the spaceship... assuming it's still there and she's not homeless.]
