Alice was the first one to enter the school; she didn't really care much about the simulation and opened the school doors. Inside she was surprised by the amount of students and starting to look around when someone crashed into her, a lad with black hair wearing a white top and purple jacket, He spun around "Ah, Sorry, you okay?" He asks quickly
"Yeah…"Alice says dusting off her school uniform
"Come to think of it aren't you the new student?" He asks placing his full attention on her
"Yeah…"
"You don't seem to speak much. Kinda like Iris from Rune Factory" He gives a laugh "What's your name?"
"Alice"
"Alice? That's an amazing name. Have you played Alice madness returns?" He asks looking at her with glee
"No…" Alice wonder what he was even on about but felt like he would start talking even more and attempted to walk away but he just followed beside her
"It's a game based of Alice in wonderland but the world went mad…" he started talking about the game and soon they arrived at the classroom "Oh by the way I'm Armin" He says noticing he never said it. Alice nods and enters the classroom; Armin heads off to someone who looks similar to him while Alice took an empty seat.
"Annoying" Alice says under her breath as she opened up her books, Alice wasn't really a people person so avoided speaking to the people who walked in. Eventually her sisters and the teacher walked in and he started the lesson. Today's class was English and Alice started to notice the huge amount of people around the room and started to panic. She started to shake and her eyes started to become dim and dizzy. She attempted to keep calm but it got the better of her and she dashed out of the classroom not looking back.
Alice ran and ran not even knowing where she was going but even outside there was so many people causing Alice to run faster until she trips over something, she didn't scream and just look at her foot. Next to her foot a large tree root had caused her to trip. She looked around she was alone, the place felt very different from the rest of the world as there was an eerie atmosphere and it almost seemed dark even though it was clearly day time. She had entered a graveyard
Alice felt herself calm down and sat down by a gravestone and lifts her arm to her heart, it is pumping loudly. Alice felt herself getting sad about leaving home but held back the tears
"Dolls mustn't cry" She says to herself and slaps her cheeks.
"You mustn't do that young lady" a voice calls out from behind, Alice stands up and turns to see a man standing there. He was wearing a black coat with a purple undershirt, and black pants and had long brown hair.
"Who?" Alice asks
"I'm sorry, my names Dimitry. You seemed a bit upset" He says kindly
"Alice, I'm not upset" Alice lies
"May I inquire as to why you are in a graveyard at this time of day?"
Alice stays silent but notices something's off about him
"Are you human?" She asks stepping towards him, he steps back quickly
"Why would you say what?" He asks questionable
"You seem different from people here"
Dimitry looks at her with surprised but nods "I'm a vampire and may I ask about you?"
"I'm a doll" Alice says removing her necklace to reveal her ball-joints and then places the necklace back on.
"I see, I take it your from Eysta then?" He inquires. Alice nods and explains the basic reason for being here. Dimitry smiles "Then I guess you're not used to this world"
Alice nods again
"Then why don't we go somewhere?" He says holding out his hand. Alice looks at him before taking his hand and he walks her out of the graveyard to a place filled with lights and large doors. He takes her inside where there were posters all around advertising movies.
"A cinema" She says
"Correct, it's a good place for people to come. Is there anything you would like to watch?"
Alice looks at the titles of the films and chooses a comedy romance film. Dimity buys the popcorn and they head into the film room and sit down. Alice enjoyed the film very much and found herself smiling when they came out
"You're finally smiling" he says with a smile, Alice tilts her head questionable "You weren't smiling and I thought I cheer you up"
He walks her home and Alice can't but be glad she missed school as now she knew someone she felt could speak to…. However
"I can't believe you skipped your first day!" Apple who is Alice's Familiar yells "What do you think your father will say!" Apple had a habit to overreact and Alice just let her complain. Fredi was already home and had made tea for everyone. Alice sits down at notices that Roselia is late and asks Fredi
"She said she was visiting a friend so she'll be late"
Alice nods and starts to eat, happy about the day she had and tells Fredi all about it.
