Be brave enough to burn

Who: All the Alices (and Ankh, his name is Ankh)
What: Just a mysterious castle built on top of a restaurant. What could possibly go wrong?
Where: World Two – Wings to the Sky
Warnings: Who even knows? Will update as necessary.



Ankh wakes up at the edge of the water, his arm draped over a rock and his face cushioned by a bed of sand and seaweed as the edges of waves wash over his body. The first thing he notices upon waking is that it's uncomfortable. The second, upon lifting his head and starting to pull himself out of the water is that it's familiar. Awareness dawning, he scrambles to his feet and looks around wide-eyed half expecting Eiji to be there somewhere. Of course he isn't.

But this... this is his last memory. For a moment he wonders if somehow this whole thing came to an end and he wound up back home, but that's wishful thinking. No, this is just his world. His heart, as the guides like to call it. It's only more obvious that this isn't real as he scans the horizon and finds Cous Coussier where it shouldn't be. And then on top of it... that's-

His eyes widen, and then narrow. He's not sure what to expect out of this other than nothing good.

But, after wringing the water out of his clothes as best he can, he makes his way to the restaurant and curiously to the freezer, where he finds the ice pops he expects to be there. Pulling one out, he gives it a skeptical look for a moment—does he dare assume it's really the same or even safe to eat?--but ultimately pops it into his mouth and discovers it tastes exactly like he expects. That much is something he can appreciate. But as for the rest of this...

With popsicle in hand, he continues exploring.

Sure. But that other Alice might want to count his sins and be wary of helping unless he wants everyone to end up like a certain poor girl.

[ And then the Cat will toss the Key... To Ankh. Because this is his World. The voice doesn't say anything, because it's not being spoken to. After a few moments, the World begins to fade... They don't have much time to get in any last shots verbally, but it's there. ]

[More than anything he's glad to be leaving this world behind. But there are some things he'll be asking Ankh about when he gets a chance.]

[ As they leave the World, Ankh will hear the sound of a familiar, certain sightless girl's voice in the distance, now recognizable to him: ]

I never wanted your help. All you do is ruin people. You're like the rest of them, and now... now what? You're doing it again.

[ And then they will return to the Hub, where the strange feelings will have largely subsided, and Ankh's senses will have returned to normal, though it will take a moment for the lingering nausea and heaviness to dissipate, feeling a bit like a light-headedness, instead. ]
