> Alice: Grab that mark and head back to your room. This place is too infested with monsters to be exploring.



You think about removing the mark you placed, but you become frustrated doing so... You put it here to protect the back door, it's not like you to suddenly change your mind without good enough reason. Especially when you know a giant monster is lurking outside.

You suspect your thoughts may not be your own again.

Alice: ARRRGGG!!
DT: ...Are you okay, Master?
Alice: ... No! What the hell's going on with me?
Alice: I'm getting played by some jerk who thinks they can go around messing with my house, messing with my things and messing with my head!
Alice: My illusions are basically useless, your clones are too frail, Raziel bails on me-
DT: Calm down, Master...
DT: If you need help, we could go upstairs-
Alice: No!
Alice: I've had enough monster bullshit for one night.
Alice: I'm going back to the closet and I'm going to sit there and knit until I wake up.
Alice: If I'm going to be stuck here doing useless shit, I may as well do something *I* enjoy.
DT: ...
Alice: Are you coming?
DT: ...Y-yes! 0w0

You have lost control of Alice for now and will not be able to influence her. Next time remember to try to avoid commands that the kids would not follow, or at least frame/phrase them in a way that would make sense for them.

You wake up to knocking on your door.

???: -lice?
Alice: Wha...
Gramps: Alice!
Alice: Wh... What?
Gramps: You ok there, kiddo?
Alice: Y-yes. Yeah. I'm awake.
Gramps: Sorry to wake you, but I didn't hear your alarm.
Alice: Yeah, I...I forgot to put it on. Thanks.
Alice: Can you put some water to boil? I'll be out in a minute.
Gramps: Sure thing.

Great, now you don't even have time for a shower before school. This day just keeps perking up.

Boy are you not feeling it but someone's gotta update your dream journal.

Alice's DiaryShow

Taking a break from dreamland was a mistake. After waking up Darko explained a lot more things to me but the more I learn the worse it sounds. Basically, everything in this land wants to kill me or wear me. We went out to get a couple souls they gathered while I was out, DT learned some new tricks, and while we were there some asshole opened the front door and some giant monster almost gets in. Bright side is we finally got that Mark everyone's been yapping so much about, but then Raziel had to make a stop to kill some monster he couldn't get himself and someone locked us in with it. Luckily it wasn't too strong, that could have ended badly.
We got out and all my yarn was on the floor, so I take it back to the closet with DT and we ask Raziel to keep watch so we don't get stuck again. We hear a noise and guess who's not out, keeping a watch? Oh right, it's big kitty.
So of course Stinky comes and corners me until I almost died from the smell, before DT finally got the hint and lured him away.
To summarize: learned that everything wants to kill me, sleeping inside a dream is a big nono, my illusions are a big load of crap, DT can now copy me, Raziel is MIA and I'm late for school. Just another bright Thursday morning.

You can also put your questions in the Official Lucidstuck Discord community, Specifically in the 'Spoilerific Willfordswap' channel.

at the end of the Q&A I'll make a list of all the answered questions to keep a record of the answers. Knock yourselves out!
