yuggoth tdmurder - and this is what happens when you don't return your books on time
[As a general rule, Alice doesn't like running errands for other people.
All bets are off when she thinks she can get something out of it, though, which is why she's here - if whatever brought them all here is strong to do that, then it can only be a good thing for them to owe her a favor. As requested, she's gone through the secret entrance and slipped into the library... she's on the lookout for a blood-stained book, so she finds it quickly. She doesn't give any particular mind to the blood as she tucks it under her arm - if it gets on her clothes, so what? She doesn't care. She'll just get changed, or find someone else to take the fall for her if people get suspicious.
Decus is useful that way.
On her way out, she pauses, noting a suit of armor that seems slightly out of place. Hmm... The instructions said not to investigate the room, but surely a little peek won't hurt?
She heads right on over and flips the helmet's visor up.]
Well, let's see what we have here, shall we? ♡
[She's having way too much fun with this.]

Day 10 - Leo + Shijima
[So they've got some time before the trial starts, and since Leo's already talking to her, she'll grab his sleeve to keep him nearby should he try and hobble away. Once she spots Shijima, she'll wave her over, too.
Ideally, Alice would like to include Alfendi as well, but they're running low on time and she owes Shijima an explanation. To that end, she'll take full advantage of the fact that a lot of the others will be preoccupied with the investigation to talk to the two of them privately.]
...okay, first things first. Shijima, can I have my note back?

Night 9 - Alfendi
[So it's like right before curfew, but they have a little time if they make this quick. Alice sits up from where she'd been trying to sleep, then taps Alfendi on the shoulder before grabbing his arm with one hand, then bringing her finger up to her lips in a shhing motion. Her voice comes out in a whisper.]
I hope you're not sleeping yet. We need to talk.
[...and she's just going to try and drag him out of the room.]

[...and she's just going to try and drag him out of the room.]
Night 9 - Shijima
[Alice finds herself awake for a portion of the night, just like Judy promised. There's no denying that she's a little surprised by it - somehow, she hadn't expected her to keep her word - but just as she discussed with Shijima, she creeps over to the bed where she's sleeping.
A moment later, the scalpel she took from Rhys flashes through the air before stabbing into her sharply. It's not a fatal wound, but with any luck...]
Hey, wake up!

Day 9 - Alvin
[There's nothing particularly weird going on today, which after the last couple of days they've had, is pretty weird in and of itself. But it gives Alice plenty of time to catch up to Alvin, and then to speak to him as she passes by.
Last time it was a request. This time? It's an order. Please someone stop this menace.]
Come with me.
[She snaps her fingers and walks ahead of him at a brisk pace, fully expecting him to follow. Should he do so, she'll lead him somewhere quiet they can talk in private.
Should he not? She'll turn around, grab him by the arm, and haul him off anyway. Sorry, Alvin.]

Night 8 - Sakyou
[In all the confusion, they didn't get to talk before the trial like she was hoping to.
But that's fine, she supposes - as a whole, the group been more or less on the same page during that trial... Though they really only figured out a small portion of what had happened the night before.
Rhys said some things that have got her wondering, though, so at some point between the execution and curfew, she'll catch up to Sakyou and grab his sleeve to get his attention.]
We weren't able to do it before, so let's talk now.

Night 8 - Judy
[Alice is annoyed about a lot of things. Being here at all is at the top of her list, of course, but being denied the chance to kill Rhys not just once but twice is pretty high up there, too. Getting shocked during the trial and knocked out afterwards is just the icing on the cake.
And, well, while she can and probably will complain about it to her roommates, there's one other person she can complain to, too. And this person might actually be able to do something about it. So before turning in for the night, she'll make a stop at a terminal.]
i want to talk to you privately
is there somewhere we can do that so the others won't be able to know, or do i just have to keep typing messages to you here?

Day 7 - Jack
[WHAT A NIGHT. Alice can say with certainty that she's more or less satisfied with how things turned out in general - she did get a whip out of it, after all - but she's less satisfied with the lack of real knowledge they have about who brought them there and why.
More than that, she's exceedingly dissatisfied with the lack of a concrete plan to straight-up murder the staff members. Add that in with how wretched she's feeling thanks to the gross bloody water in the fountain, and she's not exactly inclined to be in a super chatty mood.
But she and Jack come across each other, and it sort of looks like he has something to say, so she smiles confidently, tilts her chin up, and meets his eyes.]
Yes~?

Night 6 - Leo
[After the trial Alice didn't waste much time in dumping Leo off so that she could go fetch Franziska's whip before someone else do it, but it isn't too long before she returns to his room with a cup of hot water, a small bottle of honey, and what's not quite a concerned expression but is actually sort of close.
She peeks her head into the room and rests her gaze on Leo.]
Lee-Lee? Are you awake yet?

Night 4 - Guy
[A lot of people are grieving tonight.
Alice, who has never really grieved healthily ("or at all," some might argue) deals with things that disturb her in the worst way possible - by lashing out at others. Guy, at least, is spared an actual, physical attack, but there's definitely something malicious in the way she sidles up to him to invade his personal space once they're finished with the execution and all the related trauma.
She knows he can't handle being around girls. He told her so himself, after all. Watching other people suffer is easier than suffering herself.]
Hi there. ♡

Night 4 - Alfendi
[Alice can't say she's surprised at many of the reactions to the execution. It's a little unsettling, to say the least, but she's no stranger to death and even less a stranger to seeing people who haven't actually done anything wrong die, so it doesn't distract her from the task at hand: figuring out what's going on in this place and getting out alive.
The current task being catching up with Alfendi, which isn't really a difficult task at all since they're headed to the same apartment. He doesn't really look too good, but then, he has a lot of moments where he doesn't look too good.
Maybe a distraction is in order. She reaches over and tugs on his sleeve to get his attention as she falls into step beside him.]
Hey... do you still want to try out the pills from the commissary?

Day 1 - Alice?
[She supposed it really was only a matter of time.
While the number of people in apartment two had been enough to make her think maybe she wanted to try her luck in apartment seven, actually meeting those people had only solidified it. It's no small wonder that someone who had to spend a night there wouldn't be all that happy.
Which is to say, when Alice spots Alice? coming her way, she's not at all surprised.
Running away won't do any good - the complex is an enclosed space, after all, and she'd only be able to avoid him for so long before getting cornered - so she doesn't bother.]
Good morning. ♡ Did you sleep well?
[ :) ]

Day 1 - Alvin
[The profiles have been up and available for long enough that Alice has seen them by now, and while she's not sure she totally agrees with the wording on hers (it doesn't make her sound anywhere near as impressive as she actually is!), she can't deny that it's accurate.
It wouldn't make sense for the to be truthful on some profiles and not on others... which of course makes certain people even more interesting to her than they were before. Alvin is one of those people, so once she's done looking at profiles on one of the terminals, she seeks him out.
When she sees him, she comes up behind him and taps him on the shoulder, flashing him a smile when he turns to look.]
Come with me, would you? I want to talk to you about something.
