In which Alice really, really cannot stand people.

You can laugh at it all you want, mundane, feel free to. But you're only solidifying my dislike of doctors and for all the right reasons. You shouldn't be questioning that,he deserved what was handed to him. I rejoice in the fact the likelihood of him not having any physical remains, let alone any limbs is very possible.

I promise you, as time goes on, I'll be more formidable. It's only a matter of time, just as it's only a matter of time before I return the favor to a certain nightmare being tenfold.

How so?

[justguidelines]

Experience. Or luck. Pick your words at will, I care not.

But jabbing at the shadows will get you nowhere but dead in the water.

[digophelia]

I don't have to jab shadows, not now. I'll make it my own.

[justguidelines]

Fanciful and big words, from a girl no bigger'n a gust of wind.

[digophelia]

Just because you believe me to be, doesn't make me so.

[Hector, she knows she's short, but come on.]

[justguidelines]

[Have you seen him, Alice? You were the one that pointed out he's a stick figure.]

But tell me, then. What more do you know to do with that pig sticker of your'n but jab. There be no skill in that. No...Finesse.

[digophelia]

Perhaps I was lacking in finesse, but I am not, not anymore.

[justguidelines]

Aye, so I'm sure you think. And so I be sure you're wrong.

[digophelia]

And even if I am, I can learn to work around it.

[justguidelines]

Or die.

[digophelia]

Yes, exactly that. I am not afraid to die.

[She is, after all, a survivor. She genuinely isn't.]

[justguidelines]

Nor should you be, as there be no great mystery in the beyond.

And yet...I wouldn't recommend rushing into it for being a fool.

[digophelia]

In the past, I may have welcomed it, but I don't. Not anymore.

[justguidelines]

And yet here we be, right back where we started.

[digophelia]

Dear Captain, I don't need your validation or your faith. It doesn't do much for me, unless you have any sort of gracious suggestions.

[justguidelines]

Don't get pert with me, Miss Liddell. The difference between you and I has nary to do with faith. You talk like a body capable of doing what needs done. Consider this me questioning your conviction and having the stomach for it, when the time do come.

[digophelia]

It was a sincere question, Captain, hardly one with ill-intent. You're welcome to question it, but that doesn't mean I cannot refute it.

[justguidelines]

[A pause. Here's a little gem of wisdom, Alice. He doesn't exactly give these out often, so treasure it.]

It be one thing, Miss Liddell, to kill because you have no choice otherwise.

An entirely different animal it be, to kill because some folks just need to die.
