closed starter @jazzykitten location: berli's apartment

alice had been avoiding berlioz. she didn't want to be the reason he started using again because as selfish as it was, she knew she wasn't going to stop. dial it down maybe, nut not stop. every time she tried to stop she had nightmares about her parents and her life before evermore and it was just....too much for her. she wanted to be more than what she was, she wanted to change the world, but instead she was relying on pretty pills to get her through the day. it was pathetic, and the last thing she needed to do was put berli through that after he almost....no, she couldn't do that.

yet there she was, outside his apartment door, answering a text he had sent her face to face. she was selfish, always so selfish. she knocked on the door three times and waited, holding her hands together as she rocked on her heels. when he opened the door a blush formed on her face. ".....i don't hate you and never want to see you again,' she blurted out. "i just....don't want to make your life worse."

Alice got into the car without question. There was always such a magnetic pull that came with Duncan and she had given into it enough times to know that it always ended sweetly for her at least. He was a sweet boy at his core, but she liked that there was more to him than that. She didn’t really do the whole...good person thing. Not without flaw. And Duncan had many flaws that Alice saw as rather beautiful.

She took the beer and took a small sip. She knew she should be more fearful of him literally drinking and driving, but she wasn’t. Instead, she was slowly getting aquainted with the chaos that was brewing in him and easing into the idea of letting her own out. That was why she snuck out to meet him, after all. To let go of all of those feelings she had been feeling because of Jim. “I don’t have a boyfriend,” she said pointedly before taking another sip. “I just have...people from my past who think I am something I am not. It’s very frustrating. Trying to live to the expectations of others....” She looked at him. “I was also in the hospital but it’s fine. I’m alive and I’m here and I am very much looking forward to being at your place.”

"Do you ever wonder that if you get on one of these rides you might be one of the unlucky few to get stuck on it?" Alice asked as her eyes stared at one of the more nauseating rides in front of them. "Imagine getting stuck in The Zipper ride....that could be really tricky to get out of." Shoving her hands into the pockets of her shorts she chuckled. "Silly thoughts, silly thoughts. I still think we should go on it."

“Hey Whit, come check this out!” Alice had called the girl over to one of the various locked rooms in Wonderland. She knows Whitney probably has access to like, every single door, but Alice doesn’t and she knew that Whitney would never ever break a rule and let her into one of these rooms. Where they went? Alice was eager to find out. “I figured out how to pick the locks here. Isn’t that wonderful?” Before her friend could protest she had opened the door proudly...only to frown when all she saw were brooms and mop buckets. “Another janitors closet? How many does Wonderland need?” she pouted, turning to look at her friend. “This game would be much easier if you unlocked the doors for me, y’know.”

closed starter @kimiwf​ location: crown cat cafe

“Thank you for meeting me here,” Alice said, her tone serious despite the fact that cat jumped into her lap the moment she started speaking. She wanted to be distracted by the adorable little thing, scratch behind their ears and get lost in how adorable everything is, but she didn’t want to be rude and ignore Kimi after she had texted her frantically to meet her there. She really could though...this cat had the biggest blue eyes and softest fur...No, she really couldn’t. She gave her friend a sheepish smile. “I’m sorry, I’m still feeling the after effects of last nigh---Oh! Anyways. I asked you to meet me here because I need your gorgeous knack for fashion for something....Something grand and wonderful.....” she trailed off without really realizing it. Alice tended to start talking and stopping whenever a new thought graced her mind. “......it is of the most importance that you accept this task. I need you to do my look. No one else can do it like you.”

@barrelingthrough​ location: wonderland

Alice had just finished her shift. It had been like any other night really, and she was determined to get home for once so she could crawl into bed. After her spat with Jim she hadn’t been consuming pills as much as she was, and her body was getting used to that still. She felt worn out a ragged and even though she knew she was going to be plagued with weird nightmares in a few hours, sleep was better than no sleep. As she made her way through the crowd a sort of familiar face stopped her in her tracks. “You again?” she said, louder than she had meant to, getting his attention. “I apologize, that was rather rude of me. I just...I am here almost every day and I’ve never ever seen you in this place before. Is this your first time?”

@barrelingthrough​ location: crystal cove

Alice didn’t go to the beach very often, but ever since everything with her accident and Margaret being down her neck it felt like the only place she could really run to without a fight. She picked the one in Coolsville because it had character to it and she was as far from her home as possible. She didn’t know if she was ever going to feel like she could stop running, but she was doing what she had to do for some peace. She had snuck some pills from Wonderland a few nights ago and they rattled in her pocket, burning a metaphorical hole she was trying to ignore. She took them out of her pocket and looked at them. She should really just throw them into the ocean but instead she just stared at them, trying to make a choice she wasn’t ready to make. 

Luckily she heard a noise and her head whipped around, trying to find out what it was. “If you’re here to kill me, please do it quickly,” she said with a sigh. “I know the risks of being out here alone and I...I don’t know.”

there was a lot of guilt in alice's heart right now. after hearing about berlioz's time in the hospital in passing by her sister who really did not like her, all she could think about how not only did she hear about this days after the fact, but that she enabled so much of it. she knew she could be reckless herself when it came to her....hobbies, but she didn't know berlioz was indulging the way he was, as often as he was. that didn't put any less blame on her. she had planned on just avoiding him fully so that he didn't have to feel so obligated to act on his vices around her, but of course, he reached out, and by the third time she responded. she hated ignoring him. she hated him not being around.

she knew he would probably be mad at her and she couldn't blame him, really. she moved her goodies from her original hiding spots and stopped bringing alcohol home just in case she did cave. she was sure he could tell things were different with the way he browsed her kitchen. alice did her best to keep a smile on her face, but she felt something bad was coming and she wasn't sure if she could handle it. "are....what are you looking for?" she stupidly asked, fingers drumming on her thigh where she sat.

Alice’s shift ended hours ago, but she had gotten sucked into the scene that is Wonderland before she could even try to walk out the door. All it took was a few mischievous smiles and she was doing shots with strangers and putting pretty pills in her mouth that made the world looks so much more beautiful. Should she be more mindful that she was being so reckless at her job? Probably. But she had at least changed out of her uniform and well....this was Wonderland. It was all about losing your senses to pleasure and all that stuff; Alice was just merely showing that the people who worked there loved where they were at. Even if it was ran by a woman who couldn’t be trusted. 

Another shot and she was floating higher than she had before. That was what she told herself every night but that was a minor thing. She honestly had no idea when Cat snuck up next to her but the moment she spotted the blonde she pulled her in for the tightest hug. “Oh my! Cat you look so lovely tonight,” she said with glossy eyes out of focus, but still somewhat trained on the woman. “Are you here to celebrate too? It’s someone’s birthday or something like that...I forgot who after the third shot!” She giggled, bringing her hand to mouth to calm herself a bit. “Sorry...I’m afraid I fell down another rabbit hole....will you fall with me?”

Alice didn’t think the dancers at Wonderland liked her much. She did have a habit of sneaking backstage a lot because she was dreadfully curious on how the magic was made but she was doing it in good fun, really. Sometimes she snuck back there for Charlie’s sake and even though he never ever explained why she did what he asked because he was a good friend of hers. 

Tonight was no different. Charlie had asked her to go backstage to grab something and she wished that was easier said than done. It was hard because there were all sorts of things all over the place and finding one small object amongst many small objects could take her all night. It was a necklace. There was jewelry everywhere. As she searched she heard someone speak behind her and she jumped, clearly not expecting someone to be back here at this time. “Oh! Daisy! Hello....” she smiled at the girl. “I was just...looking for something a friend had misplaced back here. Do not mind me.”
