And the queen would scream

[madcuriosity]

🧙 WHO: Alice Liddell and You
⚔️️ WHAT: Alice is an Animal Mage and is being attacked
🕒 WHEN: Throughout the month
🗺️ WHERE: All over
⚠️ WARNINGS: Child Endangerment, attempted child murder, injured child


A: (Market streets)

However your day may be going, there will be a loud child's scream of terror interrupting whatever it is you are doing.

Should you run towards it, you will see Alice struggling as a man has a hold of her arm as she runs out from an alley. She's trying to push and shove and get out of his grip, but she's only seven and a small thing at that even for her age.

The thug's clothes are singed on his arms, which is how Alice got out in the first place, but the same trick won't work twice.

"Get back here you little brat!"

B: (School)

Alice was shaking, hugging a plush rabbit close to her chest as she stood outside the school gates. The school had been made aware of the threat towards Animal Mages and all the children with the power were to wait on campus until picked up and dropped off by a guardian.

But it didn't really stop Alice from being terrified. She had already been attacked twice, a child made an easy target, after all.

She went to go sit on a part of the garden wall when she heard someone coming. The past few weeks had been enough to make her shake and infinitely warier as she hugged her stuffed plush closer and immediately began looking around for a teacher as she was still on campus.

"W-Who is it!? Who's there!? I'll scream!" she cried out backing up and wondering how fast she needed to be to get back into the school building.

"Ah... r-really?" she looked up at Della. "I didn't think it did much, the fire on his arm didn't."

"Alice, I mean it when I say it - your magic is amazing, and so's your mind for thinking of the ways to use it." She offers a big smile. "I'm very proud of you."

[madcuriosity]

"Thank you, Della," she gave the mama duck a wet smile, wiping at her eyes and moving to hug onto Della again, quite content to stay there for now.

"Anytime, Alice. Anytime." And if Alice wants to stay and hug? They'll stay and hug as long as she wants.
