Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alice walked onto the open grounds of the camp. It was bustling with people, as usual. She sat off to the side, silently observing the others as they walked by. Either in deep discussion or thought. Taking a deep breath, Alice sighed contently. She smiled as she sat. This was her family, her home, and she was happy to be there. She greeted a few who acknowledged her presence. She looked at the sky and at the ground surrounding her, humming a small tune quietly to herself. She was bored, but everyone else was either immersed in their work or busy doing something else, and she didn't feel like intentionally bothering anyone today. So she waited for something to do to come to her.

Alice was daydreaming about nothing in particular when something... or someone... nearly tripped over her. Jumping up and clutching her tail, she hissed angrily, glaring at whoever had bumped her. In a moment though, she regained her composure and stood, patting down her tail and skirt. When she realized who it was and smiled. Had it been someone she wasn't familiar with, she would've clawed their eyes out in an instant. "Oh! Hatter! Hi!" The magician said in greeting. "That reminds me! Guess what! Wait, no, don't guess, I'm just going to tell you! I know that you like adding things to your hat, so when I found this I thought I'd give it to you!" She reached her hand out in the direction of her tent and a small object came flying into her hand. When she opened her hand again, in her palm resided a small teacup figurine. "Do you like it?"

Alice Hart - "The Cheshire Cat"

"Storm?" Alice squeaked, quickly covering it up with a hasty cough. She hated showing fear, even if she was a fearful person as heart. "Th-thank you, Hatter. Your consideration is much appreciated." She said, accepting the gift. There she goes again! That stupid habit of going robot when she tried to hide her emotions or lie. She really did appreciate the gift, hell, she loved it! But she didn't want to show how scared of the storm she really was. "It's wonderful." She said, more sincerely this time and with a smile.

Alice smiled. "I would love that! So, what's up with you? I'm not sure if my act is as popular as it was when I was first starting out. But we've been moving around a lot lately, so it's not like the people are seeing the same thing twice. I don't really understand it. How's your act coming along?"

(( PLEASE Avoid the one-liners. It's one of the rules... ))

Alice Hart - "The Cheshire Cat"

(( It's fine. Just letting you know.^^ ))

"No, I wouldn't happen to know of anyone." The cat-girl said after a moment of thought. "Though, I guess you could post an ad for the job on the billboard. I'm sure help would find you then." She suggested, placing a finger on her chin thoughtfully.

"True. Hypnotism is your whole act. And magic is mine, but I guess the ears and tail are a distraction. Or people just don't appreciate it like they used to." She agreed with a defeated sigh. Alice climbed up the tree next to Hatter, but then climbed higher, leaning against the trunk of the tree.

Shaw sauntered around the back of the camp slowly, looking for something. Anything entertaining actually. A lit cigarette hung out of her mouth lazily, and as she spotted Alice and Hatter, her grin spread. Sure they were up a tree, and sure... she wasn't one for climbing much, as she only wore skirts. However, any a*****e caught looking up was generally left in a ditch while they traveled. Maybe you could say that Shaw was a little violent.

Making her way up to the tree, she looked up and then whistled. "Oi. Can ye two get down? No way in hell am I 'bout to climb up. 'Less you won't come down. Then I guess I'll have to go up." she said and flicked off ashes from her cigarette. Shaw wasn't a picky person. She'd prefer staying on you know - land. But if they wouldn't come down, she wasn't about to look crazy yelling up.
