Good evening, Voidtreckers. I'd like to announce a council meeting in three days. It's overdue and I believe we have a number of items to discuss.

Please council members take some time over the next few days to come up with and notify me of topics we need to discuss so I can prepare an agenda. If anyone who is not a council member feels strongly about a certain topic we should consider, either tell me or seek out a council member so they may relay the information.

... Exactly what roles are being protected? [They still have to get on the train, if anything should be figured out, it should be how to stop that.]

A power thing? [Alice, being seven, has little to no power at all, being a female child of the Victorian era, even less so.] We were all forced onto the train, what power could there possibly be? [WHY ARE ADULTS SO WEIRD?!]

Leadership roles.

[Eva offers a tired smile.]

Popularity? Ego? A wy to dictate how things are run amongst ourselves. I don't know.

But... it can't be popularity. Everyone has been very unkind to Mr. Stark. So it's certainly not that. [Alice feels rather terrible her two questions caused... all this.]

People can be unkind about something but still generally like or respect a person. I don't always see eye to eye with him, yet he does have my respect as a person.

.... [That... THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE?! Alice can only blink a bit owlishly before her brows knit together in thought.] Then... why... be unkind?

That's just how people are. We try to be kind to everyone, but it doesn't always work that way. More so when tempers flare or people start to argue.

But, I think, if you do your best to be kind and respectful and listen to people, then things end up a lot smoother in the long run.

[Alice thinks that's a terrible excuse but doesn't argue with it. She wouldn't even know how to defend against such a comment.

At least the second statement is something that actually does make sense.]

Are you all doing your best then? [She doesn't mean for the question to sound tactless, to her, it doesn't sound that way, she simply wishes to know.]

I'd like to think we are, yes. I know I am.

[Despite the ugly, ugly cultural prejudices at the back of her mind these days when it comes to Tony, but that's not something to get into, if ever.]

Well, then... I shall try my best too, miss. I'm sorry to have caused so much trouble.

You didn't cause trouble and anyone who says you did is wrong.

Anyway, my name's Eva. [Though Alice likely already knows that. Still.] It's nice to meet you.

How do you do, Miss Eva, my name is Alice Liddell, the little Alice, since the older me is here as well.

[She could ask, but- Eva decides not to, right now.]

Just Eva's fine, Alice-chan. Unless it's a polite form of address where you're from.

Alice-chan? I've not heard such a thing. But Miss is a polite way to address you, this is true.

Like 'miss', it's a polite way to address you and, for me, not doing so would be incredibly forward and rude.

Oh! Well, I certainly wish for you to be rude or forward! I completely understand! Should I call you that, then? The -san, I mean.
