[Alice has been largely keeping to herself since her arrival in Rakuen. She's never been much of a people person, and she's been more interested in observing and reading the manual a few times and quietly going to classes without much trouble.

And figuring out how the school computers work. This has been difficult.]

Hello? Is this on correctly?

[She blinks into the camera a few times.]

Um, hello. My name is Alice Margatroid. I'm a new student in Fortitude school? And since I've read the manual a few times and I've been going to classes since my arrival. But I...um. How do I phrase this? I've been a Discard since my arrival, and I'd really like to change that.

I don't know what kind I'm supposed to be, but I'm certainly curious to find out.

Thank you.

Yes, exac- wait, maid?!

[grand_guignol]

Yes. Why, is there a problem? Did she fire you or something?

[floweringknight]

N-no! I haven't been fired at all! At least, I don't think I have...

But I'm not a maid, I'm a butler!

Well, then, what --

[Wait. What.]

[grand_guignol]

[No, Alice heard that right. What the...?]

I'll admit a suit would look good on you, but did you really change roles that dramatically?

[floweringknight]

No, I- [If Sakuya were someone far more uncouth he could suggest any number of ways to solve this misunderstanding immediately but he's not so he can only sit here and fluster helplessly at the computer]

I'm saying, I've never been a maid because I'm a boy!

[grand_guignol]

What. Okay, you must be from - did Yukari Yakumo gap you into Gensokyo like that or something?

[floweringknight]

What? I don't know who Yukari is or what's a Gensokyo!

Do you not remember Reims either?

[We have officially entered Bizarro World, kids.]

[grand_guignol]

What?! Yukari. The border youkai who's always popping into places where she's not wanted through her gaps, when she's not being lazy and sleeping for months on end. Everyone knows the gap hag is always popping people in and out of Gensokyo through the border when she's awake. You know, home?

What are you talking about? They didn't muck about with your memory that badly, did they?

[floweringknight]

Youkai... ah, you mean the Japanese monsters of folklore? I don't think I ever heard that particular story.

No, my memory is mostly intact as far as I can tell even if I still can't remember how to fix this darn tie...
