Out of all the places you could live, you chose Pelican Town?

[frozentear]

Who: All the Alices, a bunch of monsters...
What: A little town with a big problem.
Where: World Three – Down in the Valley
Warnings: Fighting monsters, probable injury and/or death, who knows what else.

Sebastian wakes up in the hot sun on the sand, and for a moment he wonders if he's back in Ankh's heart. But there were no docks there, and this beach is very familiar. There's a staff next to him, and he picks it up without thinking. As he wanders closer to the docks, it's strange how quickly it becomes overcast and then starts to rain... it's much nicer than the beating sun, though.

Standing at the edge of the docks, he wonders where the others are. He wonders if he's back home for real, even though he knows it's unlikely. However, it's the first chance he's had to be alone for a while... hard to tell how long. As he stands there, he begins to realize something is different. Holding out a hand - focusing for a second - jelly begins to drip down into the water.

Well, that's new.

This looks like it's going to be a rather annoying Heart.

[ It's such a pain in the ass, if she's to be honest. While she can swim just fine, extraneous activities just aren't her thing. Not that it will break her. She doesn't care. The town is probably a better bet, but there's nobody here. Essentially, it's a ghost town.

But she might as well peek through the house windows if she can. Is there anything she can see or is it even possible..? She'll be around and about, but not remotely helpful. ]

[ There is very little of interest viewable inside the houses. Most of the windows are too dulled inside to see into, and those you can see inside show no signs of life at first viewing, although if one stares for long enough, they could swear they saw one or two people moving out of the corner of their eyes once in awhile.

One area in particular, you could swear you saw a girl with purple hair playing with spirit board with some other figure that cannot be clearly made out... but if you look again, she and the other figure appear to be gone, only the spirit board remaining. ]

A spirit board, huh. . . I wonder if we can use this to talk to people.

[ Let's try putting a small pebble on top of the board to utilize it properly. ]

Can anybody hear me?

[worldkeys]

[ The planchette begins spelling something out, indeed, but not what she might expect. ]

[dolosa]

Is that all you have to tell us?

[ Because if that's the case, she's done here. ]

[worldkeys]

[ The planchette moves again, slowly spelling out a few more words. ]

[dolosa]

What is it? Can you tell us?

[worldkeys]

[ It's slower this time than any of the other times spelling words out. ]
