Usually there's no way Alice would have gone to this party. It's so not her kind of thing. But Xander has really been trying for her sake, so the least she can do in return for him is to at least attempt to attend a dumb little party. Surely she can do that much, right? She's faced huge monsters, how bad could one social situation be?
.. Bad. The answer is bad. Alice kind of regrets coming the moment she's there, and she awkwardly hovers at Xander's side in her black dress, like straying too far away from him might just force her into having to have actual social contact with someone else. Imagine the horror.
"I must look ridiculous," she whispers to him. And no, she doesn't mean the dress, more just.. the way she feels like she doesn't fit in here at all. Alice is so far out of her element.
( open to all )
This is so awkward. Alice isn't a party person, though she's blending in on the outside perfectly fine with her gothic dress aesthetic. The moment Xander is turned away, talking to someone else, she just awkwardly hovers near the food table, not even daring to go anywhere near the dance floor. All the people and the music - it's just too much. She's too antisocial for this, but at the same time she told herself she was at least going to attempt this for Xander's sake, so it's not like she can just run out of the party.
So Alice does the next best thing. She grabs one of the drinks, nervously starting to drink. Starting to drink way too quickly too, and that combined with the nerves gives her the hiccups the moments she puts the empty glass down on the table.
But if you happen to look her way right at that moment, you may see Alice.. and then suddenly not anymore. It's as if she completely disappeared on the spot. You might want to go check that out? Perhaps slightly concerning?
