Alice and Battler

Characters: Alice Margatroid and Battler Ushiromiya
Date: December 22nd
Summary: Two witches in a hut, surrounded by snow.
Warnings: Inevitable perverted Battler related shenanigans. Among the normal stuff for the event.

When Alice awoke, she obviously found herself in a not so familiar place. Even through her still half-asleep vision, she could easily tell this. Of course, she wasn't exactly staying in one place before, but she knew better than to stay in a place like this.

She knew something was going on, that much was obvious. After glancing about for a bit, the situation was a bit easier to figure out. She was in a small house, if you could even call it that, with not much in terms of anything. Just something to sleep in, and what looked like some facilities. However, it all looked much better than outside. There was snow, lots and lots of snow. So much that she could barely see if anything else was outside, or if there was anything else outside!

But Alice also noticed something else that was inside with her. It was someone else, someone vaguely familiar at least.

"You know, I feel like I'm missing something here." Alice said, with a hint of a sigh. Even the most friendly of people wouldn't get like this for doing a job of helping someone, right?

"I'm just happy to be of assistance!" Battler grinned, before suddenly glomping onto the other girl. If it wasn't obvious what her ulterior motives were before, it certainly should have been now.

Taken by surprise, this caused Alice to fall over. Still taken by surprise, her mind was racing to catch up to what just happened. A response came quick. "W...What was that for!?"

"Warming up, obviously! Wasn't this the plan?" Battler asked, still cuddling up against her without a care in the world.

"Plan? This wasn't part of any plan! Why are you doing this!" Alice said, her voice raised but she was still trying to keep it down. She had no idea why this was happening, in fact she probably couldn't put what this was into words.

"Body heat," Battler grinned, feeling it was quite the obvious conclusion. "Weren't we going to... ah, right, we need to crawl into the sleeping bag, huh?"

And without any further adieu, she'll proceed to try to drag Alice over to it.

Alice grabbed onto the arm that was dragging her. "Now just wait a minute. Just say what you are going to do."

While being in the sleeping bag would be the most ideal place to share body heat, after that last little activity, Alice was a bit cautious and wanted to know everything now.

"Get in the sleeping bag with you, obviously," she smiled, doing her best to look innocent.

"Didn't we already agree on this?"

"I don't recall agreeing to anything." Was the answer. She only mentioned what might be required here. Alice was getting a little annoyed.

"Backing down now?" Battler asked, looking quite disappointed. But she brightened up quickly, that same strange smile creeping onto her face. "But then what else are we going to do?"

That was a good question. What else would they do? Thinking on it, Alice did remember a 'weird mystery' being brought up, so she decided to run with that.

"We haven't seen everything that is here. We may find something weird, like a secret staircase." Although she said that, she wasn't entirely convinced of it.

"Heh, looking for a secret passage? It's against Knox's rules, but there could be done," Battler admitted, as she began to peruse around. "But even if there is one, if its hidden well enough we might never find it."

Rules? Alice didn't care who that was or what rules they set. If there were rules, it was by that queen and her people.

"It's not like we would spend much time looking. We don't have much to explore."

It wasn't long before completing her search; the room was pretty barren to begin with, so there wasn't much in terms of hiding places.

"No luck here. How about you?"

Alice had taken to searching areas above. As in, the ceiling. She was currently floating up there, giving a close inspection.

However, her answer was the same. "Nothing. I'd like to restate my opinion of someone screwing with us."

"You're probably right, this is somebody's twisted idea of a joke," Battler agreed. But she'd been in far worse, so in comparison this seemed rather light. It was nowhere near as terrible as the closed room of a Logic Error...

"So then the question is what do we get have to do to screw with them back?"

Coming back down from the air, Alice starts leaning against the wall, in thought. Getting back at people for this? The correct way to do that would be a similar situation. How one could pull that one off is the real question.

"Save it for later, we don't know enough to think on that."

"I guess so, but why don't we turn the chessboard around?" Battler suggested, a cocky grin on her face. "If you were the person who put us here, why would you do it? They chose to pluck us from where we were and throw us in here, so their goal was probably for us to be confused. We're trapped in here by the snow, but I don't think the door is locked. If they wanted to seal us in here completely, they could have just locked the door. So they've left the possibility of us leaving, but realistically that's just not feasible since we have no idea where we are and no place we need to go. Thus, that just gives us the illusion of a choice.

They also didn't give us any food, so unless they plan to kill us we probably aren't mean to stay in here very long. Which either means we'll be allowed to leave before long, or there's some way for us to get out of here. They deliberately put one sleeping bag in here, when they could have given us two or just none. I think its pretty obvious that they want us both to use it."

Well, this was not what Alice was expecting. She had to take a moment to think out what to say, that was a lot to take in, after all. But before long she had her response. "If the door is not locked, we could leave, as you said. But I still believe it to be a choice. While we do not know where we are and can not see anything outside, there is the possibility that there may actually be something out there besides snow. The choice is not to stay or leave, but whether we want to live in moderate safety or risk our lives for the unknown.

But as I said, I don't need food. I was being literal when I said that. We only just got here really, so there may or may not be something happening later on, like some twisted form of room service. Although that makes me consider what we see outside is only an illusion and just this room is cold. As for the sleeping bag, I am slowly but sadly starting to figure out why there is only one."

"Ihihi, so that's the game they're playing at. It's like they're taunting us to go outside then, isn't it? Who wants to back down from a challenge like that.

"But you're right, this game has just started. There's no telling what'll happen in the future, so maybe we're just supposed to wait here for now," Battler agreed, before once again moving closer to Alice. "But we should at least stay warm in the meanwhile, right?"

Alice backed away a bit at the advancing Battler. She had reason to, after the last time. "I don't really consider it a challenge, so I guess I would be someone who backed down."

"True, there's still no point in going outside if we don't have any idea where we're going. It's not like we can escape this place and go home afterall, we'd just be escaping this place to go... somewhere else here," Battler agreed.

Noticing Alice backing away, she just grinned a bit. "What's wrong?"

"Besides, walking out there hardly sounds fun." Alice said, already sounding rather bored.

"You did sort of tackle me before." And that was the response to the other part.

"I prefer it in here too," she grinned a bit.

"So as long as I don't tackle, there's no problem?" Battler asked, her eyes glistening a bit mischievously.

Alice was now staring at the offender. There was issues of trust going on in her head. "So, what would you do if you can't do that?" She said.
