NortAlice headcanon :3

Alice keeps a small crystal/gold nugget Norton gave her in her pocket. When she's anxious, she pulls it out and rubs/fiddles with it instead of biting her knuckle. It helps her break the old habit she's had since she was a kid.

AAAAAAaaaahhhhhhhhh that is so so incredibly sweet!! ;;;W;;; A little keepsake to keep her grounded when he's not around ;u; It's like he's there to sooth her anxiety ;<; I love that a lot!

Thank you for sharing!

*sneaking in* sooooo what's y'alls favorite soups?

or if you don't like soups what's your favorite thing on the cafe menu? 👀

Of COURSE we like soups! There's a soup for every season, or so I'm told, hehe~

Unfortunately, Catchpenny's menu is minimalist, so we don't offer any soup at this time - but I could definitely discuss a potential special rotation with my manager!

As for my favorite thing...it's hard to say! It all looks so delicious, and I love seeing everyone's faces light up when I bring it to the table, so I'm sure all of it is good.

> As for our regulars: Monty seems partial to fish dishes. I definitely recommend our seafood burger, it's quite a treat!

> Brody likes coffee! Always black, with one fruit cup on the side. I've only seen her three times, but it's so easy, I have it memorized already!

> Our new cook, Carrion, sometimes eats the burger patties straight out of the package, raw. ...although maybe I shouldn't be telling you that, dear customer...

> The lady Ermengarde always orders some kind of sandwich with tea. The ingredients vary, but the concept remains the same. She tips really well, too! Hehe~

This was a really fun question to answer! I hope you enjoy your visit to the cafe today~!

I just looked at your table manners with Norton comic again

And I noticed two things

1: his face is pristine as soon as Alice arrives, I can just imagine him snatching a napkin and cleaning up in the blink of an eye XD

2: MY BROTHER IN CHRIST WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY EATING A SANDWICH WITH A KNIFE AND FORK???? 🤣

he's doing his best for her and they're adorable

Xjthfxfhxjhfutjtfkhvgjc he's gotta look his best for his gal XD even if it means eating a hand meal with cutlery pffff To make things worse, it's actually a burger, which he's eating for breakfast... with milk...💀

I like to think that he probably put more effort into his table manners when he started developing feelings for Alice. Subconsciously at first. And only when she's around. Perhaps further down the line they find a middle ground where they're both comfortable.

the thought of a Ghost AU hug pile after Alice finally opens up to them and starts coming to with her own hard past with their help has me in shambles ;u;

another note though...how would the double identities work? would it be kind of like the ghosts can change forms or one personality takes over the other? Two separate ghosts who need to do different things before being put to rest?

and another question(s) that popped into my mind while writing this was: What is the requirement for releasing a ghost? What if said thing is really hard to do, like burning something precious? Or what if the first time it happens by accident and Alice & ghost Co don't even get to really say goodbye? 😭

HHHHHHHhhhHHHhhhh that is so wholesome! ;O; I can see the ghosts starting to notice that she becomes overly diligent in her work. To the point it is concerning, for she is staying up late for many nights studying the files and becomes too upset at every set-back. It's no longer about emptying the manor of ghosts so she can have her peaceful home back.

The ghosts doing some sort of intervention and want to know why she is wearing herself down like that (over the time they had known each other, they have started to care more for each other). Alice then tells them that she feels that it is her responsibility to help them and shares some of her past. For if she fails to help them, then she breaks the promise she made to herself that she would help others no matter what. All stemming from the emotional baggage of her parents' demise. The ghosts are the first ones she openly talks about her troubled past with. Que the group hug and words of reassurance ;u; Even though they can't really touch her fdghsjfks it'll be like an air hug XD A cold one...

----

I'm glad you asked! So the hunter form of those with double identities is actually a sort of corrupted form of their spirit, facilitated by the curse. Some are more susceptible than others to the mysterious power that veils the manor, and thus their unresolved trauma manifest in peculiar ways. This comes to play especially during events of strong emotions, such as when they start remembering their trauma. In these forms the ghosts are dangerously strong and can cause actual physical harm and destruction; much more so than the ghosts who don't possess this form.

In order to quell a ghost that has been corrupted, one must try and anchor them back down to earth. They are in a state of chaos and pain, and the only way to anchor them down is to first get their attention and make them listen. Then have them focus on something and slowly pull them out of chaos little by little with words. One thing that can help here is to use an item that holds significance to the ghost; something that is associated to a good or peaceful memory. Or something sentimental. For Joker; perhaps Margaretha's music box or a daisy? For Luchino; something related to his research like his papers or specimens? For Orpheus; something related to his childhood such as the stories he used to write and the doll. For Norton; the coin he carries around. For Mike; a piece of the circus.

It is a dangerous task, but once they calm down, they are able to get out of their corrupted form. This ghosts are still able to slip back into these forms again if they don't resolve their unfinished business.

----

So the curse is multilayered, protected by each of the ghosts' personal bindings. All of them need to be broken individually before the curse can be lifted. Once that is done, all the ghosts will be released simultaneously. So fortunately, none of them will slip away spontaneously ;u; Aaaahhhh but the thought though! 😭

The key to each binding is a little different from one another. All of them need to remember how they died and the trauma that first brought them to the manor and come to terms with it. Some of them also require tending to unfinished businesses in order to get closure. It can be to find out what happened to a loved one, finishing a piece of work, or, as you said, destroy something. It is for Alice and the ghosts to figure out what needs to be done. Pff imagine in order to break Matthias' binding, Alice needs to destroy Louis, but no matter what she does to that puppet, it just comes back again in mint condition XD
