Chapter 1 [video]

[bittertears]

[Being from Victorian-era London, Alice has no idea how to even begin working the miniature netbook. It only manages to activate through sheer stroke of luck. With the screen facing upward, viewers can see that this girl has clearly seen better days. Sickly pale skin, disheveled hair, dark circles around her eyes, worn and dirty clothes... Hardly the picture of health one would expect from someone so young. The only part of her that doesn't look ragged and tired would be the pendant of the Omega symbol ( Ω ) she has around her neck.]

Blasted woman made no sense at all. I will certainly not be living here, or have anything to do with their so-called training.

[Underwhelming as she may appear, this girl still has a sharp tongue on her, and a distinctly English accent. She takes a look around, but it’s clear that she has no idea what she’s supposed to be doing. Alice just sighs.]

Out of one nightmare and thrust straight into the unknown. It seems that fortune smiles upon me once more.

[The view moves, as she raises the intended communicator and looks into the monitor.]

And what a remarkably useless item you turned out to be. I’d almost go as far to say that I’d prefer the Cat as opposed to this.

One would've expected this army of theirs to have had a set number that needed to be reached.

We're not exactly the best kind of army. It would help if we knew what they were looking for.

[bittertears]

I'm of the opinion they'll quite literally recruit anyone.

[undeadarmies]

I'm going to have to agree.

[bittertears]

Ah, yes, how rude of me to let it slip by...

My name is Alice. Alice Liddell.

[A grin.] I'm Chloe Saunders!

[bittertears]

If I may ask, Miss Chloe, how long have you been here for?

video;

[undeadarmies]

Just a little over two months now, I think.

video;

[bittertears]

They must've been quite the two months, I imagine.

[undeadarmies]

They've been... really interesting, at least at first. It's been mostly quiet since then.

[bittertears]

I'm not certain if I should find that worrisome or a relief.

video;

[undeadarmies]

I'd worry. Nothing ever stays quiet for long.

video;

[bittertears]

You believe their silence would bode ill for us?

video;

[undeadarmies]

It's like the saying: the quiet before the storm? That's exactly what I think would happen.

video;

[bittertears]

I've weathered many storms, though not by choice.

[undeadarmies]

[A grin.] At least you have that kind of experience to help you out here.

video;

[bittertears]

Perhaps, though I'm not quite how much help it'll be, considering my lack of any sort of abilities.

video;

[undeadarmies]

I wouldn't worry about it. They find some way of making us useful, despite our skills.

video;

[bittertears]

Such meddling will prove costly to them.

video;

[undeadarmies]

And probably to us, in the end.

video;

[bittertears]

Perhaps, but such an end remains out of view for the moment.
