[ it had been a just one night since oz's departure and alice had more or less kept quiet. after spending a night searching fruitlessly, she spent the rest of the dark hours sulking with (1) gilbert nightray until they eventually fall asleep, buried in the sheets like sad children who have lost the dearest thing they held at night.

in the morning alice wakes up and her first instinct is to cry, but the second is something more violent... and of course she goes with that instead.

THERE'S A LOUD BANG. something appears to have fallen and shattered, although it's hard to say when things are happening off-screen. and before anyone can attempt to understand what just happened, they get an earful from one angry looking young girl shouting into the tablet. she never did care for this thing, but at least she knows now that someone will be able to hear her. ]

THEY TOOK OZ AWAY! I WON'T FORGIVE THEM. [ her head's clear but it's hard to stop yelling when you're so upset. if someone could hear her, feel threatened by her,

help her

then she might actually have time to think and calm down. ] How dare they take him away without my permission? Don't they know its the master's job to take care of their servant? How am I suppose to do that when he's not here? Huh? SOMEONE GIVE HIM BACK! NOW! I'm waiting!

[ don't be fooled by her tough exterior, she's gonna burst into tears any minute now.

oh. there you go. the tears roll down. ]

This is all your fault, idiot! [ blames the ne..twork... ] Bring him back... useless! Useless....

Oz...? [Can it be the same one she's thinking about?]

Young looking kid, bright hair, obnoxiously cheerful?

[Except that one time she caught him on the moon base deck, but that doesn't count. Who doesn't get depressed watching their home (even a temporary one) get blown up?]

[ she can't hold back the tears.

it would be natural for a lot of people to know oz, huh? that's a perfect description right there. ]

Bring him back...

[ she wipes away at her face. ]

I'm sorry...I can't. If he's not on the list anymore, he's probably been sent back.

[Ack. That was kind of blunt, wasn't it? She is so bad at this comforting thing.]

Uh...I could...keep you company for a little while? I just lost a friend of mine, too, and I know it really stinks.

Well, as his Mistress I won't allow this. This place is stupid! What kind of idiot would send him away? I'll find them and make them wish they have never been born!

[ she really would if she could. usually even when they're apart she could oz hear calling for her... now there's just nothing. it take her a few seconds to settle down from her initial outburst, realizing that people must lose friends often in this place. when she arrived she had everyone she needed, so none of this mattered then.

a minute later, she adds: ]

Tch, aren't you mad at them too?

Of course I'm mad! [She deflates as soon as she gets that outburst out.] I'm just...tired of feeling angry all the time. [Angry and scared and all those other good emotions.]

I miss my friends, too, but staying mad isn't going to do anything. It just makes things harder to deal with. [And she nearly lost a friend because of her temper--that was a wake up call on its own.] We're having enough trouble with the new Initiative and living here...I want to help, not just keep thinking about how much everything sucks.

[She says that, but she's still having a hard time breaking out of the darkness.]

Wait...did you say Mistress?

[ her words were like a mirror of everything she felt and everything she will feel in the future. the tears stop, only because she really was tired of crying. she's already cried so much.

and of course, what she has to do now is firmly let everyone who may ask know yes, she's his mistress. ]

Of course! He's just my man-servant who ran off again. [ even if unwillingly, it's best to think of it like that now. ] ... Was he your friend?

Yeah...kinda. We were thinking about going on a mission together. [She sighs; Obviously, that isn't going to happen anymore.] This place is gonna be a whole lot gloomier without him.

[Korra gives Alice a curious look.] What are you going to do now?

I'll go find Seaweed Head...

[ ... ]

And bite his cheeks.

Seaweed...Head? Who's that?

[Not sure she should even comment on the cheek-biting.]

Raven.

[ ... it's always so odd to have to say his proper name. ]

G... Gilbert.

Oookay... [Why did you just say two names?]

Is it Raven or is it Gilbert?

[ hrgh. ]

It's Gilbert! Gilbert!

[ don't make her say it so many times, it's like a foreign word when she says it. ]

Okay, okay. I got it. [Yeesh.]

This Gilbert...Raven guy's going to keep you company?

It's a Mistress' job to take care of all her servants, isn't it?

[ even if he is technically oz's servant.

her man-servant's servant is still her servant. ]

Yeesh...how many servants do you have here?

[All of them arrived with her??]

As many as I want.

[ 2.

just 2. ]
