A return

Who: Little One and Open
Where: Luggage, Cabin 1:C and then throughout the train
When: Egret, day 21
What: Little One wakes up in a suitcase and then investigates any changes in her time away
Warnings:

Waking: Luggage

This had happened to her before. A voice from the screens and then waking up in a suitcase. But this time she had been on the mission and now she was here.

Why? Why had they taken her off the mission? She had been doing well. She had figured out the stupid space ships and the guns. But she had still disappeared and was back in a suitcase. She sat up with a sigh and looked around, instincts kicking in. Checking for danger, for people, for anyone who was too close.

Once she decided it was safe she clambered out and moved towards the exit. She paused near the door to bring up the ICP and click onto the passenger list. New people. Some names missing. She did her best to commit them to memory. She checked the day, she had been gone a while. Longer than last time. Most people were still here though. That was good.

Cabin 1, C

The first place she headed to was her room. She still had the bag she had carried on the mission and she wanted to put it down before she went elsewhere. She headed to her room quickly and opened the door with a wave of her ticket. It was strange that things that had seemed so strange only months ago now felt familiar.

She entered, planning just to throw her bag onto her bag and get changed out of the flight suit and into trousers and a hoodie.

Throughout the train

She is headed to the kitchen, as she's pretty hungry but not so hungry that she isn't going to investigate the train as she goes. Checking up on people she knows, watching them from a distance. She takes note of new people, doing her best to match their faces to the pictures she had seen on the ICP. It's difficult though, there are a lot of new people to keep track of.

But she watches, listening and taking in everything she sees as she makes her way from carriage to carriage.

"That's probably for the better since he's here on this train."

After all, Alice can't even imagine how people who are easily scared or cry a lot of the time deal with the missions they have to go on. At least Alice herself has very little trouble with the violence aspect of them.

"Only cowering and crying during these missions wouldn't do anyone any good, after all."

She lets out a slight sigh. "It is strange. Completely unlike anything I've ever seen."

Which is saying a lot, considering the stuff Alice has seen. But for as strange as Wonderland was, it never quite involved space..

"But I suppose it wasn't exactly impossible to adjust to it. And honestly, it was a slight relief to finally be able to fight people without there being consequences for it." It's not.. really something she would share with any random child, but considering Buttercup seems interested in weapons and thinks crying is weird, she figures it's probably appropriate enough in this case. "It's quite vexing to think you might get half of the train on your back just for punishing someone who deserves it." Yes, someone is still annoyed she couldn't just chuck Zetta off the platform! She'll forever be salty.

"That talking book."

Did Zetta even introduce himself? If he had given a name, Alice is just willingly choosing to ignore it by now. People that annoying and awful don't deserve being remembered properly. She frowns with obvious disgust as she says the words.

"I was contemplating at the very least tossing him across the platform for his reckless and insulting chatter, but the thought of what I might have had to deal with for it afterwards was already too tiring by itself."
irrationally: (and gave a look askance)

"I haven't dealt with him again since then, so the current situation is.. passable."

An ideal situation would for sure involve making Zetta suffer for what he's done, but considering how many situations in Alice's life have been much less than passable, she will take this much.

"But I won't stand for my actions the next time that thing tries to do something. It'll be on him then."
irrationally: (thirteen a day if)

Some people might find it at the very least slightly disturbing to have a child offer to help them with that.

Alice is not one of those people. In fact, it seems to make her annoyance fade a little, her expression instead ending up very close to a smile. It's almost there.

"Thank you, that's very kind of you. I'll be sure to let you know if things do end up that way."
