Calm amidst the Static

She was surprised by the sudden closeness, seems this one liked to get into people’s spaces too. “Well.. We haven’t Redeemed anyone yet but we’re making progress.” She said with a confident smile.

:: “Aw c’mon babe, there ain’t nothin’ wrong with havin’ a drink at 5 am. What else are ya gonna do this late?” He asked, ushering her towards the hotel bar. “Might calm ya down a little bit too.”

     A brief, few pops of startled static as he ushered her, and she clutched the staff in genuine bewilderment. Such liberties with her person, okay then. Her own anxieties notwithstanding, this was hardly a correct use of the Hotel’s facilities.

     Oh well.

     Once at the bar, Alicia looked about, hummed, then simply snapped her fingers and conjured a pot of tea for herself and Angel’s preferred drink,

“Aw, thank you! And don’t worry, I’m treated quite well here.” The cycloptic maid tilts her head a bit to the side. “But I didn’t know there was a female version of Alastor! And a very pretty one at that!”

     “Oh you flattah me sweethaht.” As she reached down, dragging her claws harmlessly under Niffty’s chin to lift it gently, leaning down towards her while the other hand held onto the staff behind her back.

     A small grin,

She watched the other circle her, not bothered by her curiosity. To be honest she was curious herself of the other, she wondered what her world’s Al would think of her. “Is your Charlie running a Hotel too?”

She admitted, she was surprised to see a female, let alone white version of Al. “This is my first time meeting a female version of my Al too. Do you go by the same name or by a different one?”

     “Heh.. you may cawl me Al if ya wish, dahlin’, but my name in my world is ‘Alicia’. Please don’ cawl me ‘Ali’,” she remarked plainly, “it does vex me so.” as Alicia made to walk a circle around the taller female, peering at her curiously as her staff hovered at her side. Her own hands remained behind her back.

“ Oh yes! You are entitled to your delusion! By all means! Countless men and women  have given their life and their money for you to do so! Have at it my deer. I hope you  enjoy it more then most do.”

“ My deer friend, I have always aspired to be just and right in my dealings. I am good while everyone not aligned with me is evil, I can afford to make that statement true and it has nothing to do with opinions. Money is truth in all things, the ability to be useful is what determines what is right and wrong.”

“ I understand perfectly. You are championing capital because it is something horrible that ruins people’s lives, something negative. I am saying you are simply wrong in your reason for enjoying it. Capitalism is the backbone of society, the very last thing to be compared to chaos and evil.”

“ Capitalism has no business being associated with negativity.”
