RE: Cloudsea - The Chronicle of Alice Van Vaugen

Alice considers her options. She could aim for roughly the area of the feet... but that seems like it would be easy to miss. Plus, she might accidentally cripple them. She could aim for the shoulder. ... But that's a little close to the head. It suddenly occurs to Alice that she should have loaded a non-lethal round. Does she have enough time to make it back to the bed? No.
Well, then the clear choice is to get the drop on them, and make them surrender. If they're hostile... Well at least she can't possibly miss at this range.
The footsteps get closer... the door begins to open. A moment too late, Alice realizes a few things.
1: Her bed is completely empty and within sight of the door.
2: It's very quiet. She may not be able to get close enough before they notice her, especially since she's wearing her blanket like a robe, it makes it a little harder for her to move about. There's a lot of stuff scattered around.
3: She apparently forgets important things like this when under actual pressure. She'll... She'll have to work on that.
Anyway, PLAN C. The door opens a little bit more. A hooded, cloaked figure wanders in, wearing what appear to be house shoes. They're holding a cup, and seeing that the bed is empty, they move over to the bedside stand. Cup down on the stand, they then lean down to look under the bed.
This will have to do! Alice may lack in the body-related statistics, compared to her mind-statistics, but she certainly has Acuity and Haste of body! They barely have a moment to stand up or turn before she leaps atop them, knocking them down to the ground!
"Alright, Don't move! I have a gun with a bore that would make the average Gentleman cry, and I'll use it if you even twitch wrong!" (...What? She read it in a book. It sounded good! Then again, Burgundy von Happenstance was a bit more intimidating, in her mind.) Grabbing a handful of the hood, she pulls back and reveals...!
A masculine Face? A feminine face? An androgynous face?
Do they seem around her age? Slightly younger? Slightly older? Much older?
Are they even human? Humanoid? Mechanical?
