"What WERE you doing?" She starts muttering again, and a faint dark light fills the space.
"... What's the Boston Inquisition?"
"Bad news, that's what," Alice replies, quickly.
"We'll need a place to hole up, then." You start to explain what you saw in your dream, but Alice interrupts you.
"They've started loaning out INQUISITORS?" Alice looks WORRIED. "That means they'll probably run into the DUNAHAN soon..."
"I take it this is a problem we can't just SHOOT INTO OBLIVION?"
Alice nods. "Not unless you want to somehow BLOW UP CAMBRIDGE."
"What, are you saying you can't manage that with some sort of DARK BARRAGE HOLOCAUST?"
"As if I'd want to!" Alice shakes her head. "Meantime. Their main strength is numbers and they seem to have the BOSSES on their side for now, so let's see if we can't hole up in the MUSEUM for a day..."
"Mm. I can go without food for a while. You?"
"I'll need to pick up something, but it shouldn't be too difficult- that's why I make HOMUNCULI." She grabs your hand again and you move through the shadows...
MUSEUM BASEMENT.
It is dark. You cannot see, smell, or touch anything.
You hear Alice chanting something a little more... FLAMMABLE than normal, and an eerie blue FOX-FIRE hangs in the air next to her, lighting the basement. The faint scent of mildew and ivy hang here, just like they hang everywhere else. A seep of water comes up through cracks in teh foundation, and countless works of art, formerly kept in carefully climate-controlled conditions, moulder and rot here.
Alice mutters something else, and pulls out of her backpack a bunch of the stuff you left behind. In fact... The balance of it that wasn't in your backpack.
... That's more stuff than could fit in there, really.
"I thought ahead, and brought the fish with us. Hope you don't mind."
"Not particularly." You pause. "We're staying here?"
"For the duration, this time, yeah. I've holed up here before. It's nice. It's creepy. I like it." She smiles a creepy little smile that matches her surroundings, before setting up the IMPROVISED HIBACHI and setting the FOX-FIRE within it. "If you've got questions, now's the time to ask them."
The blue light gives everything an otherworldly look as you consider all the questions you want to go ask Alice.
