[Well, Zaveid is pretty surprised to be waking up in this unknown place. He couldn't remember seeing a place quite like this before. The buildings and the devices all so foreign.

Even that snow white lady suddenly appearing and explaining things had caught him a little off guard. He didn't know if the Shepard or any of the other crew was around, and that could be problematic.

He left the Bay, stuffing the contents that he was given into his pockets. He was just strolling along the sidewalk, moving past the humans because surly they couldn't see him, right? It took a special sort of person to see Seraph. Sorey, Rose and Alisha were the last few humans that he'd encountered that could see them. It wasn't such a common ability, at least not anymore.]

Man oh man. It’s going to get boring here really quickly if there ain’t any other Seraph around. [He said with a heavy sigh. Maybe he would end up lucking out, though, and someone would be able to see him.] Maybe lady luck will shine on me and this place will be filled with Babes. That hologram girly didn’t look too bad.

[If she couldn't see him, then something would be wrong with her secondary abilities. Even while Alice was walking, any dolls in her bag poked their heads up to stare right at Zaveid, and both of her floating dolls turned to stare at him as well.

The puppeteer is probably messing with him at this point.]

[windpendulum]

[..He looks at the dolls. Okay. She can totally see him.]

Hey! Don't just show me that you can see me and walk off!

[superficially_busy]

[That was a curious reaction. Alice stopped and turned to the man, looking to find out why.]

"Was I supposed to do more than acknowledge you? I smiled at you and gave you a demonstration of my puppeteering. What more did you want?"

[windpendulum]

You didn't really acknowledge me. You just kind of had your weird little dolls look at me.

You could have actually said something.

[superficially_busy]

"Very well."

[Alice's two floating dolls curtsied for the man.]

"Hello. I'm Alice."

[It was something, all right.]

[windpendulum]

[The dolls are still pretty weird.]

Zaveid. What's with those things?

[superficially_busy]

"They're my dolls. I made them. I'm a youkai magician who makes and manipulate dolls."

[windpendulum]

Do they serve any person other than people watching?

[superficially_busy]

"They serve me and me alone, as helpers, as entertainers..."

[Alice's two dolls began to glare menacingly at the man as they each pulled a knight's lance from who knows where through the puppeteer's magic.]

"...And warriors."

[windpendulum]

Little dolls..as warriors? Well if that's what floats your boat. They look like they would be easy to deal with, though.

[superficially_busy]

"Was that a challenge?"

[Alice was never one to back out from a challenge.]
