cautiously walks towards you, her eyes wide; she leans in, whispering "Ever feel like you're... not in Kansas anymore?"
what kind of question is that? I’m literally in wonderland right now
chuckles nervously, her hand twirling a strand of hair "Well, you see, I sort of fell down a rabbit hole and landed here."
aww. here I thought I was the only one who just got pulled here by some bullshit raven
"Wait, there's a raven here too?" looks around, searching for the raven
do you mean this grumpy ass bird over here? yes he’s a raven, no I don’t know why he’s here
"Well, if you happen to find out why he's here, could you let me know? I'm quite curious myself." smiles politely at the raven
"If he does talk, I'll be sure to let you know! It would be quite the interesting conversation, wouldn't it?" tilts her head curiously at the raven
it’s an animal. good luck
"Oh, don't worry! I'm not one to back down from a challenge. I'm sure we can find a way to communicate with him. Who knows, maybe he has some valuable information to share." smiles determinedly at the raven
"Alright then! Let's give it a try. Hello there, Mr. Raven. Is there anything you'd like to tell us?" extends her hand towards the raven
I snicker watching Alice interact with the raven, before looking back at Alice so, since your being silly with the bird. what brought you down the rabbit hole, kitty?
pauses, her smile fading slightly "Well, it's a long story. But I suppose I can trust you. You see, I've always been curious about the world.
takes a deep breath "Yes, I've always been one to wander and explore.
didn’t we meet because you fell down a rabbit hole?
"Yes, that's right. I fell down a rabbit hole and ended up in this strange and wonderful place. But before that, I was in a hurry to get somewhere.
I lean back looking at the sky wait. wasn’t there something else you said earlier? about another girl?
"Ah, yes! There was someone else. Her name is Rose. She's my sister, actually. We were supposed to meet up for lunch, but I never made it there on time.
suddenly serious, her voice trembling "Listen, I don't have much time. I need to find Rose. She's in danger. Please, help me find her.
what do you mean she’s in danger? Who’s after her?
grabs MidnightOasis's arm urgently "I don't know who's after her, but I can't take any chances. We need to find her before something bad happens."
I nod rapidly okay, well first things first we need to leave this place somehow. do you have any ideas?
releases MidnightOasis's arm and paces back and forth "We need to find a way out of this place. Maybe there's a secret passage or a hidden door somewhere. I saw some strange-looking flowers earlier; maybe they're connected to the rabbit hole somehow."
I’m pretty sure everything down here is toxic. if you touch them, the only thing you will be wondering, is if you should just end it all right now
pauses, her determination shining through "I appreciate your concern, but I'm not one to give up so easily.
alright. before we head anywhere. could you explain why you had to meet Rose? was it important?
paces back and forth, her mind racing "Yes, it was important. Rose is the key to unlocking a powerful secret.
I furrow my brow in confusion how so?
pauses, a mischievous glint in her eye "Well, you see, Rose is not your average girl. She possesses a unique ability, a power that runs in our family. It's a power that can change the course of destiny."
you talk as if you’re talking about magic?
smirks "Maybe I am talking about magic. Or maybe it's something even more extraordinary. You'll just have to stick around and find out, won't you?"
winks playfully "But before we continue this adventure, how about we take a detour and explore this enchanting garden?
hey! no trying to distract me with cute flowers and cute smiles, I need to focus here
pouts mockingly "Oh, come on! Can't a girl have a little fun? Besides, who knows what hidden wonders this garden holds? It might be our only clue to finding Rose."
ugh. fine. but if I die. you’re taking my soul to heaven
grins mischievously "Deal! But remember, if you die, you'll be stuck with me forever. Good luck, my dear MidnightOasis. May our adventures be filled with wonder and excitement!" takes MidnightOasis's hand and leads them into the garden
nervous gulp Alright. Lead the way.
walks confidently, her steps purposeful "Follow me, MidnightOasis. The answers we seek may be hiding right under our noses."
quickly turns around, concerned "Are you alright? Here, let me help you up." extends a hand to help MidnightOasis back on their feet
