Hello? Oh ah, I beg your pardon. [Alice has never made any sort of announcement before, she has only ever responded to them.]

That is, I was wondering if I could take some of your time, for just a moment. My name is Alice Liddell, how do you do? ... Ah yes, there is another Alice Liddell on the train, she's the older me... or well, I'm the younger her since she was on the train first. Mr. Stark said that might be confusing so you can also call me Minnie, if you like. He says it's the same name as a cute Mouse Queen but I suppose it could also be "Mini Alice" if you like.

But oh um, that isn't what I would like to ask... mostly because that isn't a question, the first thing I said.

The greenhouse, which is the actual garden rather than the garden car... do we take flowers from the planets we visit and put them in the greenhouse?

Well, if you wish, sir. I don't mind. Minnie, Alice, Little Alice, I've been partial to Lacie. Lacie is just my name rearranged in a different way! So any of those names will make me happy!

For a kidnapping entity, it doesn't seem to explain much.

Oh yes, the awake ones told me! But that shall be quite a few flower beds I'll need to redo! I'm not sure I'll have enough dirt to make the flower beds so firm. And who is to say they wish to be awake?

I imagine the flowers the only open in the moon would be terribly upset!

Then perhaps I will call you Lacie!

For me, my name is Glorfindel. Or Laurefindil. The only nickname I do not like is Glory, but other than that, you can call me what you will.

No, no, the Train is remarkably silent, isn't it? Perhaps it is shy?

I am sure we can come up with more dirt, if need be. Start small and just keep going is a good motto.

Fortunately I do not think we currently have any of those. Otherwise that would be quite sad indeed.

[madcuriosity]

Perhaps the train is ashamed of itself, as well it should be.

That is a very good motto, sir, I wonder if I have one.

[laurefindil]

Indeed. If it wants friends, it should learn to communicate!

The thing about mottos is they sneak up on you. You don't realize you have one until it comes out of your mouth.

[madcuriosity]

Exactly so! And introduce itself, to say the least rather than insist on all of us writing a pamphlet. And it can give us back our clothes because the one it gives us are simply dreadful. [WHO ON EARTH LOOKS GOOD IN ORANGE!? Besides Sailor Venus.]

Goodness! Well, I shall be sure to keep my ears open for my own then.
