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.

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.

[madcuriosity]

I don't know what you think! [She snapped and then pressed her lips together. She shook her head.] They're not... They're...

This isn't about YOU, this is about them. This is about- about them missing!

[mindseer]

No... you're right. It's about you, and it's about them.

[She sighed, sad right now. No, she got it, a little. She didn't want them to be gone, even though she as sure after so many before that they were gone.]

Look, I'm going to look around for them, just in case something's wrong. Put my nose to good use. That ok with you?

[madcuriosity]

[When she's less scared about them missing, when she's less scared that what she prays isn't real is very much just that, she will apologize for lashing out even though Alice is not yet old enough to realize that's what she's doing or to really understand the concept. She is still so little with very big emotions.

But she will apologize, in time. Just... not yet, not now. The fear and pain is too new, too looming... and she is so very little. The littlest Liddell.

She nods, bowing her head.]

Y-Yes... Yes, that... that is fine, Miss Terezi. I hope you find them.

[mindseer]

[For now, Terezi was 'just' smart enough to recognize that Alice wasn't up to this right now, and other folks were replying. She'd be ok for now, and Terezi would just do what she had to. There wouldn't be much of a search. She knew better.

Sadly, she wasn't that old herself, but she'd seen enough loss. She was a little... immunized comparatively. It was just more pain to compartmentalize.

She wouldn't mind the apology later, when it came, though.]

Sure thing. I'll tell you as soon as I do. Give me a call if you hear word, ok?

[madcuriosity]

[She gives a small nod.] Thank you for looking for them. I'll call you as soon as they come home.
