Sentence means legal court procedures were involved, this is practically a kangaroo court in contrast. You've done studies in that field though, Alice? It's a particular topic to have knowledge in.

[allice]

Well...I'm sure you took a look at my information card, right? It mentioned I was trained by the United States government for a reason: I work as an agent in the Department of Defense.

[aozaki]

That's way out of my field, aha. [waves hand chuckling sheepishly! herp herp] I can't even begin to imagine the sort of mission you would be trained for, so please forgive my ignorance over the matter. [magi aren't really worldly beings...] Did you had to go over such cases in your career then, if that's not top secret classified information?

[allice]

Sorry, but it is. Even letting slip my job is a violation and I really shouldn't say any more than this.

[Especially because of her theory that someone inside the mansion is possibly working for this "Hostess", much like how Zero III was just a stand-in for the real Zero. There's no telling how much they know, so it's better to keep it as quiet as possible.]

[aozaki]

Guess it can't be helped. I'm happy with the company, at least. They could've brought in people we don't like, although I guess that may be too much too obvious, in terms of motive and incentive.

[allice]

Heh, yeah. I can name at least one asshole I wouldn't want to see here. He goes around dressing like he's from the circus and acts like he's a tough big man, but I could kick his ass without even trying.

[aozaki]

That sounds awfully familiar, Alice. [MAKES A WARPED SMILE but she's justified ok...] A personal case of mine is also fond of sporting an obnoxious red silk top hat, it clashes terribly with his blonde hair. A cockroach and a preacher, I might kill him if he shows just to spare everyone else.

[dat slasher smile.]

Hah...my idiot had blonde hair as well, right down to the bottom of his neck, and wore an obnoxious top hat to boot. Do you think they might be related?

[aozaki]

...

We went to school together, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have siblings. He's always had his hime cut, but he grew it out to reach his back, apparently. I would also hope no one else in any world would share his stock of genes. He's got delusions of grandeur and too many personality problems to list, if we're going to make a list for comparisons. What are the odds?

[are we going to dip into the morphogenic fields too at this rate]

[allice]

Delusions of grandeur, terrible fashion sense, a list of personality problems - maybe these two are actually clones of one another.

[What, cloning is A Thing in VLR totally legit.]

[aozaki]

...I'm sorry to hear that, Alice. Is he any obsessed with the color red, by any chance?

[she truly, truly is.]

[allice]

He is. He also likes gold and black and having people put up with him, one way or another.

[sooner or later everyone deals with alba and dio.]

[aozaki]

...So, thirst for recognition? Does he hold grudges, when someone else nabs that center of attention?

[dear god

why

BUT THIS IS ALSO MORBIDLY FASCINATING, NGL]

[allice]

Definitely. And he'd be willing to backstab and push blame to anyone to get ahead, even little children. [She takes a sip of her tea.] I won't lie Touko, I'm a little bit freaked out.

[aozaki]

Yours may actually be worse than mine. His grudge is concentrated on one person, so--

...

On second thought, he'd kill kids too if it may give him any chance at all to get revenge.

...

Maybe I should resume my research on the Akasha after all, if that could terminate these sort of freak accidents from spawning anywhere else.

[touko's too busy going KYUUBEY over this for anything else, ngl. ALBA DOUBLES R U 4 REEL]

[allice]

I don't know what Akasha is, but I wouldn't disregard the possibility of illegal cloning of egotistical assholes. The only question is why clone them of all people.

[aozaki]

Just cloning their looks is already a travesty, but what sort of power could actually copy a soul? Urgh, that defies everything I've ever known, on top of being the worst thing I've had to imagine in recent years.

[NOW SHE JUST FEELS GROSSED OUT]
