Berlioz wasn't sure the last time he'd spoken to Alice. She was often on his mind even as weeks had turned into months and months into seasons. He understood though. He'd scared her off. He didn't blame her for not speaking to him. Why would she want to? Why would anyone want to? That didn't stop him from impulsively making the memorized trek to her apartment. He stood on the outside, staring at the door as every thought he planned on telling her dissipated into nothing. His courage was dying out but still he raised his hand to knock on the door, wanting to immediately bolt away before she answered. Before he had the chance to decide though the door swung open and he was face to face with Alice once again. His words got caught in his throat as his breath was taken away. He wasn't that high, he knew he needed something to keep his nerves at bay though. His mouth tried to form words until he finally blurted out, "I'm sorry. For everything I ever did. I-- I should have checked on you or something. I should have done a lot of things so you wouldn't have ended up hating me." Berli bites down on his lip for a moment, eyes growing sad. "I'm mostly sorry I didn't try at all." He looks away and scoffs, shaking his head. "Maybe coming here was a mistake. I shouldn't have bothered you, I'm sorry. I just bring burden to people and...I should respect that you want nothing to do with me." He rubs his eyes but doesn't look back to her when he opens them. "I'm sorry, Alice. For everything, I really am."

Closed starter for: @worldofmycwn Location: Summer Carnival

Berlioz had felt trapped in his house for months, and while that was his own doing it still didn't feel pleasant. Aside from work or going out he didn't do much other than sit in his apartment. Somedays he would work on music if he could conjure up the muse, others he just spent hours riding out a high that he would only replenish with more drugs after it started to wear off. He was really bad again. He spent more hours intoxicated in a day than not. Whether that was from drugs or alcohol or both, it didn't matter to Berlioz in the end. Life seemed fleeting and pointless. He was running through a tunnel but the longer he ran towards the light the farther away it became. Berlioz was tired of running. He thought maybe going to the summer carnival to get out of the house and try to do something enjoyable would help, but there were a lot more people there than he anticipated and his anxiety was starting to seep in. He had just gotten a snack, cotton candy to be exact, and wanted to find a place to sit but it seemed that every table or anywhere to sit was taken in the area. He tried standing off to the side even though there were still a fair amount of people by him. The longer he stood there and tried to eat the giant cloud of blue candy on a stick he more he realized this was a terrible spot because he had to keep moving and people just kept coming out of no where. Before he had realized that the fact he had to keep moving was that he had ended up in a line for a ride he was at the front of the line. Looking up he saw flashes of pink and hearts everywhere then he was being ushered into a boat with someone else. Not without getting a few judgmental looks from people because, well, who the hell rides the tunnel of love alone? Berlioz hadn't realized how high he was until he was finally sitting and looking at the person in front of him. No, not person. Alice. A bitter feeling sunk in and all he did for a few moments was look at her. He could have gotten off. He should of, but he remained seated as the boat began to move. He had nothing to say to her. He'd poured his heart out and in return he got silence. Berlioz could be silent if that's what she wanted. He ripped a piece of candy off and put it in his mouth as his eyes began to wander anywhere that weren't hers. He wanted to scream his feelings out but he knew now that doing that had never gotten him anywhere. Seeing Alice hurt, and somehow ending up on the same ride in the same boat was a cruel way of karma punishing him. There was an itch at the back of his throat, words that wanted to come out but were being suffocated. The words managed to escape his throat to grasp for air in the form of, "my mother always taught me to be polite and right now I am by not talking to you, so don't waste your breath trying to have a conversation with me. If it's silence you want then I would be more than happy to oblige."

There was a peculiar aura to Alice that left a constant intrigued feeling within Catherine whenever she was around the girl. She seemed fragile, but also like she could take out an entire platoon of men with ease. She was strange. Cat liked strange. After wrapping up for the night and letting her hair down Cat spotted the girl sitting alone near the bar. She's still here, Cat thought to herself before walking over to her. "Why are you still here?" she asked. "Surely you finished everything you've needed to by now. No need to linger around. It's getting late, you should head home. Did you need a ride?"

Berlioz wanted nothing other than to have some fun, not think about any responsibilities or other bullshit going on. He'd came with the intentions of meeting up with friends and having a good time and now that he ended up with Alice that meant only more fun. He was higher than a kite but he'd pretty much had been since he got there. After walking for a while and sipping on an overpriced lemonade Berlioz glanced over at Alice. "What are you thinking? You've been quiet for a minute. You got something on your mind?" He nudged her in the side and smiled at her. "C'mon, let's go play a game or something. I have tip money I can use to blow on playing them."

The first thing that brought Berlioz to Wonderland was curiosity. The atmosphere was strange but then he met Alice and everything sort of...made sense about the place. It was supposed to be strange. The only thing that ever really kept him coming back though was the peculiar girl. She was a fun time and full of surprises. Berli was never let down when he was with her. He was able to cling to a euphoric high that lasted until morning. Berli was a few drinks in and had a small little pouch in his pocket of pills, knowing Alice would be interested. He had waited for her to finish her shift to join him and to occupy the time scrolled on his phone as he drank. He finished one more drink before she joined him so when he smiled at her in greeting it was a bit clear he was tipsy. "Finally done now?" he asked. "I think I have something you'd be interested in. Something far better than work that will make your night ten times better." Berlioz knew that Alice would know exactly what he was talking about. "So, what do you say? Yes or no?"

❛ dunno if i ever told you , but i actually really like wonderland . it's not my usual aesthetic but bats , you guys have some great drinks ! ❜ giggling , sibella downed what was left in her glass and shook the bitterness away . none of the drinks in wonderland were quite like her favorite drink or the concoction she'd created as an alternative , but they were still good . she could appreciate the variety , and sometimes it wasn't even about the drink but the company . ❛ it's probably a good thing that red is a good color , 'cause your boss doesn't seem to know any other ... oof , my apologies , that was horrible ! forget i said anything , shh ! ❜ the vampire exclaimed , hands waving before her face as if to erase the unfortunate comment from the existance despite knowing alice wouldn't mind . ❛ speaking of your boss , you're not gonna get in trouble for chit - chatting with me , are you ? everybody deserves a break from time to time . oh , and what about the dancing thing , did you talk to her ?! ❜
