Action for all Cities

[Twas a few weeks before the night of Valentine's Eve, and all through the cities, not a creature was stirring. Not even the kitties.

Just kidding. It was day.

All through-out the cities, the seven-coloured puppeteer was active. Sending out her doll legion carrying boxes of home-made sweets to each and every resident of each city. Except for those she really doesn't care about.

Anyone still in their homes would hear a knock. Should they answer, they will be greeted with one of Alice's dolls holding out a box of home-made sweets. The generous gift can be rejected, the dolls Don't have emotions to hurt.

But sweets made by Alice Margatroid are rather tasty. Feel free to drop Alice a line about her generosity or find her leading the doll legion.]

Ted greets the morning by stepping out of the bag. It's so dark in there and so bright outside that his eyes take some adjusting each time. When his vision clears and the doll makes itself known to his blurred sight, he almost gasps with a start. He's found. But how? Then again, the paper kept finding him no matter where he laid his head. Maybe it's not so unusual. No more unusual than being greeted by a doll with outstretched sweets.

"Heh, for me?" Shock is supplanted by pleasant surprise as he gingerly takes them. "You must be one of Alice's creations. Well, give her my thanks. Oh, but you're mute, aren't you? In that case, hold a minute." He produced some paper, scratched out a note, then taped it to the doll's back.

"May you deliver that as faithfully as you delivered these. Good morning!" The note reads:

Dear Alice (I assume)
Thank you for the gift and the charming means of its delivery. Are you doing well, wherever you are and whatever you're doing? Still maintaining the defense of Fayren, I expect. At any rate, may you go with the Omnipotence.

Sincerely,
Ted.

[The doll looked confused as to why something was being attached to its back.

Well, as confused-looking as any expressionless doll could.

The doll did nothing else but simply float away back to the puppet master.

And in time, Ted would receive a text.]

"You're welcome. And yes, the security dolls are still in place and under my care.

-Alice Margatroid"

[He swear he had seen these dolls before in Fayren city, whenever he visit it for his bounty hunting business, but he doesn't know much about their true function other than it does have a protective purpose. So color him surprise to find a doll knocking on the Genessia's Library main door, delivering sweets.

Abel adored sweets. He made it a habit to put a lot of sweetners in his own cups of tea. When Abel inspect the sweets in the box, The box has a note, explaining by the owner of these dolls that she made them.

He sent a quick text to her CPU:]

"Dear Alice,
I shared the sweets to the patrons of the library. They enjoy it very much. If you have any more, please feel free to deliver more to my library in Genessia City."

Signed, Abel, the librarian at the Genessia Library

And Remi opens the door to find... this.

"I see your mistress is too anti-social to visit me in person." Remilia giggles a bit. She's gonna take the sweets anyway, because sometimes she can be as childish as she appears.

[The puppeteer has her reasons. If the doll could explain, it would. So for now, the doll will just float there and stare at the Scarlet Devil as if waiting. Perhaps it's waiting to see if there is anything it can take back to Alice, since it happened to another doll?]

[Garrus isn't sure how to react when he opens the door. As of late, the robots he's encountered have tried to kill him, but this one doesn't look particularly harmful. In fact, it doesn't really look like any robot he's ever seen. And are those sweets?]

Um... thanks?

[He takes the box carefully, still wary of the doll, and inspects the desserts.]

Are these dextro?

---
((ooc: Turians (Garrus' species) can only eat foods that are dextro-based, not levo, which is what almost every other species eats.))

[The doll simply stares, unblinking. Then, it shrugs. The doll has no idea what dextro is.

If it's not edible for some people, the doll would apologize, if it could. It won't be sad if any of the gifts are rejected, though. It's just a doll, after all.]

[Right. No one here probably even knows what dextro is - he's the only turian he's heard about and he hasn't seen any quarians. It's a shame, because they look really good, but better safe than sorry (a creed he only lives by when it comes to food). He closes the box and gives it back to the doll.]

Thanks, but I can't eat them. Who's your owner?

[He should probably send them a message or something.]

[Since the doll can't speak without the Boundary youkai's help, the puppet master can't hear or reply via the doll.

So instead, the doll, for lack of having long enough arms and big enough hands, dropped the box so it lands upside down, revealing a hidden tag, reading simply as:

-"To: Whomever
From: Alice Margatroid"

[Garrus cringes when he sees the box fall - what a waste of desserts. He squats down to read the tag.]

Alice Margatroid? That's you're creator?

Without waiting for an answer he shoots Alice a message:

Hey, thanks for the sweets, but I'm

(He pauses, trying to figure out how to explain the whole intolerance thing. Hopefully they were a food scientist and not just a baker.)

allergic. Any chance you know how to make them with dextro aminos instead of levo?

[Since Alice is a magician youkai, terms like dextro aminos were foreign to her. She specializes in doll manipulation, not whatever this is, so the reply was quick and simple.]

"No. Sorry."

[It was worth a shot.]

Thanks anyway.

I'd send them back, but your bot threw them on the ground.

"They're just chocolate; more can be made. And they're dolls, not bots. Subtle, but distinct difference."

[The dolls' material is not easy to determine for those without some skill or help.]

(...Dolls? Probably best to just go along with it.)

Right. My mistake.

I guess I'll just trash them then.

Do you know of anyone that might know how to make dextro food? Or be able to learn?

(It's a long shot, but if there's one thing he's good at...)

[Alice is exceptional at her craft. Those who underestimate the doll legion usually regret it.

Plus, they're handy around the house.]

"There are several chefs here, you just need to send a call out.

Just go, 'Hey, is anyone here a chef?' Like that."

[That's not really his style, but desperate times...]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
