1st Hop [orb]

[ Initially, there is nothing. You’re just going about your normal day, orb nice and silent, until-- ]

Good heavens!

[ There is a bright blue eyeball peering into it from the other end, expression, what can be seen of it, delighted. ]

How perfectly marvelous – how on earth does it truly work? Hello? Can you hear me in there?

[ She taps it and pulls back, her entire face coming into view. ]

Terribly curious indeed – how whimsically magical…

[ She straightens, and folds her arms, armor clanking. ]

For anyone that may or may not be inside of this magical device, I bid thee a fond greeting – I am Alice Kingsleigh, the White Queen’s Champion, at your service.

Now…please tell me there are no jabberwocks to be slain? The last one was quite rude.

Oh! Well, that sounds rather useful, I must admit. Come to think of it, I'm not terribly sure I know anyone that truly qualified as such in Underland - of course, that doesn't mean they don't exist!

I think most people who have this sort of ability keep it pretty hush up. Just this place when you arrive more or less in a uniform of office... [[Not that he was the type to keep it quiet if he could help someone. Even if he had been less and less feeling the urge to volunteer to help out strangers in the years he had had his ability.... but that was neither here nor there.]]

Healing? Why would they do such a thing?

[shiromadoushi]

It's really easy to get burnt out with it and if everyone knows you have it, there's a lot of pressure to be everywhere and heal everyone... So it's sort of more effective to keep it quiet and just keep an eye out for a good time to use it. Otherwise you wind up like here, where every little thing is a reason for someone to call for a healer.

I suppose I could see that - if I were to slay a jabberwock every day I would become a bit tired of repetition, myself. I do try to maintain at least a semblance of oddity in my life - normalcy is terribly boring, really.

Normalcy is different for every person, I think... and relaxing to fall back on to when everything's gone crazy again.
