Current mood:	confused
Entry tags:	alice, finished thread, rating: pg, setting: room 103 within asgard, will

A Cop and a Religious Exorcist...?
Who: Alice and Will
Where: Room 103 - Alice and Blythe's room
When: After Will and Alice's discussion through the communication system.
Rating: PG, subject to change.
Warnings: None at the moment.
Summary: Inwardly, Alice is both fretful of the other members of Asgard as well as increasingly disturbed by some of the public conversations between certain individuals. At the same time, Will Graham offered to tell her about what happened since her time period on the now 'modern Earth', and asked if he could visit. Of course, Alice agreed.

Alice had made sure the pretty, comfortable victorian room of medium blues was as clean as it could be for the visitor. Her platinum blonde hair was neatly in its bun, her clothing was neat, her stockings were pulled up modestly... She'd even propped the door open to make it seem like Mr. Graham was welcome. He was welcome, very much so! But she wasn't sure what would be off-putting and what wouldn't with these people. She was just trying her best to seem like someone others could rely on.

And yet...Alice finally sunk onto her bed and held her head in her gloved hands for a moment. Alice had travelled through cities filled with corpses, where organs were broken and on display across the street. She'd seen blood splatters where they shouldn't exist. She knew how monstrous some could be, and knew how kind one could be despite a monstrous appearance. Yuri, after all, had been able to transform into terrible, monstrous-looking forms...but she'd grown accustomed to that. Yuri's abilities helped them protect others.

What Alice had trouble stomaching was the absolutely crude imagery that Ryuzaki and Yagami had been...threatening each other with. Castration, torture, irreparable surgeries designed to make someone's body a prison... She shuddered. Was it simply a brave face? How could someone truly desire to do that...? Someone in Asgard wanted to do such a thing?

It made her feel sick.

Cleaning the room had made her feel better for a moment, but now she needed distraction again. She had strength, she knew it. She hadn't gone crazy from everything she'd seen yet, after all! But things that she didn't expect, when they were so dark...so cruel... She had difficulty with it.

She pulled herself up from the bed and turned the chair at her desk around to face the rest of the room. She sat there, her knees close to each other, her ankles crossed. She sat in a very proper manner, with her back straight and her gloved hands resting in her lap as she tried to push those dark thoughts from her mind. But that only caused her concern about everything else to flood in. What can I do for everyone...?

She shook her head and forced a small smile. Strength. Strength. She would be strong for the ones who needed it. She could falter behind the scenes, when no one was looking, if she had to. But Mr. Graham was coming and she wanted to show him - and everyone else - that she was someone to place trust in. Eventually she'd be able to help them. Eventually there would be a time. Her smile relaxed and became more natural as she thought about it.

(OOC: You win so hard for that title.)

Will closed is eyes, leaning against the hallway wall for a moment. He had a raging headache and the lights did nothing to improve it. Taking a deep breath, he opened up his room, changing out of the clothes he'd passed out in and gathering up the print-outs he'd made for Ms. Elliot. He made sure the folder he'd placed them into was clean of any dust and started off for the young woman's room.

There were so many things going on right now, his- was it friendship? his talks with Henry, helping out Mr. Sund-- Frank, with Rosa, watching TV with Dorian, and how could he ever forget his little chats with the other side. He wanted to see how they operated, what they thought, even if it put himself at great risk (what was Dante going to ask of him in exchange?). Honestly, he couldn't bring himself to worry about it. He looked hideous as it was with the scars on his face, what would a few more do to him?

And now there was Ms. Elliot... She was so nice to him, and now something was wrong. Will bit his lip as he walked towards her room, taking a deep breath. Whatever it was, he hoped he could make it better, or at least get her mind off of whatever was troubling her.

He stopped up short at her door, reminded very suddenly of Lecter- of all the nights he would drop in after nothing more than a hasty, unintelligible phone call to find the door ajar, some comforting scent (usually coffee) coming out of it.

Finding no such caffeine smell put Will a little more at ease as he eased the door open a bit more, not wanting to push his welcome. "Ms. Elliot? It's Will Graham..."

(OOC: Aw, thank you!)

Alice stood up at his words and made a slight, quick curtsy out of politeness before gesturing into the room. There were a few comfortable chairs - the front of the room was more like a cozy meeting place. Her room clearly lacked most of the modern comforts of his...but it was all Alice needed. "Oh! Please, step inside. You're welcome here."

She didn't falter at the sight of his scars. She wondered where they were from, what had caused them...but she kept those thoughts quiet. Many people had scars, after all. Some were just more notable. And oddly, she was beginning to find that the stranger one's physical form(s) could be, even through scars, the more kindness there was...even if it was just waiting to be unlocked. "It's good to finally meet you face to face, Mr. Graham." Her English accent was clear as she spoke.

	"Oh, my. That sounds fascinating," Alice murmured before flipping to a page with information on the second world war. Her eyes widened. "They...Mr. Graham, is this true?" Her expression turned so sad in that moment, thinking of all the pain that must've occured. "There was another world war? Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will gave a wry sort of smile, nodding. "No, there hasn't been a third.. I think people learned their lesson about world wars after the second one." Or so he hoped. Then again, he'd seen some bad sides of humanity. "Because of the war, though, technology got a kick start." He said, trying to find a good aspect to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	(ooc: Since it's not been my turn for a long while now...i'm assuming you want to consider this thread closed? If so, we can simply pretend that they kept talking until such and such time, whatever, etc. @.@ Just checking.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	(OOC: No, it's alright! You're probably busy, I hear we've got a whole bunch of applicants, which is awesome, but probably a lot to deal with. I can definately see that happening, with Will being all like "oh noes, she left me a message! O: " (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
