@delinquentmiller Alice was fifteen almost sixteen on the day of her eighteenth auction sense being enslaved at age twelve. She was taken in a raid on her city was made along with her two brothers and here infant sister. She was a young witch and had been sold as one at least twice she knew of. Her city was know for producing the strongest witches, best warriors and skilled workers with their hands. Her lasts placement was with a fighting ring as a warrior but her owner was killed by a man he owed money. So she was returned to the agency and was now being resold as a pet/company slave her powers kept under the wraps. She was sold for a fair price to a young man for a fair price considering she wasn't a first buy. As she was lead out to meet him, she noticed he had a confusing aura about him, it was slightly unsettling and slightly comforting all at once.

"There was a time. I used to look into my father's eyes. In a happy home. I was a king, I had a golden throne. Those days are gone, Now the memories are on the wall. I hear the sounds. From the places where I was born... Don't you worry, child. See heaven's got a plan for you."
What: The candlestick Daisy bumps into Alice in the library. They discuss holidays and study.
Alice: *sitting in a back corner, surrounded by Herbology books and scraps of parchment, dozing away* 11:46
Daisy: *Enters library, dodging a gaggle of first years on their way out. The book she's looking for is in one of the back corners. As she comes close she spots Alice, apparently asleep. Daisy smiles and tries to be quiet as she moves round the table.*
Alice: *is startled awake slightly by the sound of footsteps. Blinking her eyes lazily, she raises her head from her arm and stifles a yawn before looking for the source of the noise. She spots a familiar figure on the other side of the table and grins a bit* That you Daisy? 12:11
Daisy: *winces and turns to look at Alice* Yeah, it's me. I didn't mean to wake you... 12:12
Alice: *smiles, pulling some of the parchment towards her and looking down at it* S'alright, Dais. I need to stop sleeping here anyways, Pince will slaughter me if I keep it up 12:16
Daisy: Oh, I'm sure she wouldn't - so long as you don't drool on any of the books. *smiles, and looks at the parchment spread over the table* What're you working on? 12:17
Alice: *chuckles softly* They're mostly notes... *gestures to the far side of the table* That's up to last year in Herbology...and erm... *looks around in front of her* Most of this is from this year so far.. 12:19
Daisy: Don't you ever lose any of them? I always take all my notes and write them down neatly in one book - for some reason if I leave pieces of parchment lying around they just sort of... vanish. Xeno told me once that it was some creature called a... Noogle? Something like that, but I'm not sure. 12:23
Alice: *brushes her bangs back slightly, before shrugging her shoulders at the other girl* I've never really been one for organization...besides, I tend to just write down notes as I go and it can be quite difficult to do that neatly.. 12:25
Alice: *chuckles* I believe it's Nargles..at least that's what he told me over the summer when I forgot we were supposed to go for coffee. 12:25
Daisy: Oh, I write notes as I go, I just take time out to collate them all every now and then. I'm not always neat, the urge comes and goes. 12:28
Daisy: Nargles, that was it. You saw Xeno over the holidays? 12:28
Alice: *sigh* I wish I had time for that...*shakes her head* I missed our meeting due to being on holidays with Pa. 12:40
Daisy: I could help sometimes, maybe? 12:41
Daisy: You went away for the holidays? Where to? 12:42
Alice: Pa and I went to Italy, for Gellato. Just a weekend, though. It was a bit of a shame. Rome is a lovely place. *smiles* Merlin, that would be awfully helpful of you, Daisy. 12:44
Daisy: Ohhh, that sounds so nice. I've always wanted to go to Italy. *wistfully thinks of all the places she wishes she could see* Oh, don't mention it - I'll get to see all your notes, after all. *smiles* 12:50
Alice: *sighs* I'm sorry to say, but this isn't even half of it love. I've got /plenty/ more where this all came from! 12:55
Daisy: Well, instead of re-writing it all we could just gather all your bits of paper up into some sort of order and fix them together into a rag-tag sort of book? 13:00
Alice: *ponders this, thinking back to the boxes of notes* That could...work, I suppose. *sighs* I just need something a bit...easier than all this, you know? 13:21
Daisy: Easier than study, you mean? I haven't found a way. But at least you've only got one year left. 13:41
Alice: *sigh* It's a hard year, though. 14:03
Daisy: Just remember that it'll all be worth it. 14:13
