[Accidental Video]

[maddest]

[The PCD drops, and Break makes a noise rather like a shriek of pain, clutching at the eye usually covered by the fall of his hair. Eye socket, rather; it was ripped out a long time ago. And now, with his one good eye, he's seeing her.]

It isn't real, it isn't real, it isn't- someone out there, tell me it isn't- it isn't real, it isn't-

[He backs up fast, connects with the wall, and looks down at the PCD with his one good eye, not minding, for the moment, that the scars that he usually conceals carefully are visible.]

-is it?




Alice?

Do you see her?

[saucey]

Nope.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Because she isn't there.

[He turns the camera around the room, so Sasuke will be able to tell him if she's in a corner.]

[Video]

[saucey]

Yeah. You're alone in the room.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[Looking back into the camera.]

I'm quite sorry, I simply... lost my grip on the moment.

[Video]

[saucey]

Don't worry about it. It's...been happening to a lot of us.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[Video]

[saucey]

I wish I was.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ah. Are you... as well as can be expected? In need of immediate assistance?

[Video]

[saucey]

No. I'll be fine once Sunday rolls around.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Good. I doubt there's much I could do to help, as it is.

[Video]

[saucey]

You'd be right about that.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ah, all the same, you've done a good deed for me today. There must be something.

[Video]

[saucey]

...I'll let you know if there is.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Your name is Sasuke, yes? We've spoken, but not extensively, haven't we, Sasuke?

[Video]

[saucey]

Ah... Yeah. We have.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I remember. A pleasant young man.

[Video]

[saucey]

[Okay, no one's called him... "pleasant" before.]

If you say so.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You remind me of another young man I used to know.

[Is he babbling? Maybe. He can see Cheshire in the corner, licking his paws, red eye shining. Break knows it isn't real, so he does his very best to stay focused on Sasuke.]

[Video]

[saucey]

Really.

[He's just kinda observing, now. Gives him something to focus on, too, as well as something to do.]

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Elliot Nightray. He may be more tempermental than you. Are you tempermental, Sasuke? Short fused?

[Video]

[saucey]

Sometimes.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Unsurprising.

[Video]

[saucey]

Really.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not. I'm babbling.
