Aiding an Earl

If I could find a secret door, so could someone else... so I'd better put another secret door in front of it... and after ten generations of this...

We do not give people to the fairies!

I don't suppose you would want to be earl down here?

It is WET down here! Make Emile do it!

Father could replace my feet, couldn't he?

I don't think you should be giving up your feet. You need your feet!

Given he is carrying that gem, I know that he is safer here than anywhere else.

Oh god, how depressing.

They're both yours, not mine!

We can blame Victor later.

But it might be amusing.

Yes, that's why we can talk about it later on the boat ride.

Maybe he's rational enough not to do anything about it.

S: repeats, KABOOM!

We do not hand people over to the faerie!

He is a faerie

That's not the point

It is dishonorable to keep him from trying to take revenge

I see no reason why you cant call me alice if you want to. I still haven't forgiven you

are you speaking with me?

Apparently.

We have a surprising number of terrible plans. Fine! We can try yours.

Yes, yes, he was just afraid you were going to run off and o something stupid

I was going to say someone courageous

They are often the same

It would please me if the prince of the unseelie sidhe was unable to retrieve the ruby which he requires in order to take over another body.

Then what do you wish of me?

Victor: Nothing!

Sophronia is telling him to behave with discretion and wisdom. How we have come to this pass I do not know!

I release you from any and all obligation.

Back in January, Josh (who plays Alice) wrote a filksong about Kristen's character, Sophronia, the clockwork fairy, which contains the lines: "I make my own illusions / I want no other sham".

The group was talking with a dreamcrafter, and he offered to craft a dream for Sophronia, who has never dreamed.

Sophronia: What is dreaming like? I sometimes sit on Talos's shoulder and sing to him.

Alice: You've been in a dream with us. (Technically true -- it was someone else's dream.)

Sophronia: Oh. Is it always like that?

Chorus: No!

Sophronia: I don't think I want to have a dream.

Alice: A dream can be unpleasant, but it can also be pleasant. That may an advantage to having the dream be crafted.

Sophronia: Do you know, I make my own illusions?

Josh: Hey! Awwww! I believe I have been quoted.

Kristen: You have been.

Substituting the word man or brass fairy for woman, how does that sentence fail to apply to any of us?

You do not put yourself into needless danger?

Much laughter...

How much power would one hae to have to be unharmed for so long

You know, if we really wanted to probe her wrong, we could have done so before now...

I know -- I have often been tempted

Very well, I am ery good at pikcing things up and putting them down

THat's most of what we need

Apparently _I'm_ the servant!

I don't think this (hunting) metaphor is helping

Alice -- I need you to come to the congo. It-- it's wet in the congo

I'm sorry -- I'm... I'm scared

Welcome to the club!

I'm scared -- I could get hurt!

Where's George when I need him?

I'm going to fetch George.

High tea

A certain amount... before marriage

Well there's one little problem -- I'm going to be on my way to africa

Some charity project that you could think was of dire importance

I don't suppose mr k was recognized

The urchins of the town -- they don't have anything to occupy

Schools -- a premonition that they might b needed
