Early mornings were definitely not her time, "I'm a bit more of a night person, just can't sleep at the moment, had some kid shouting in the room next to mine."

Alice kept nodding along half paying attention while Allegra gushed over her 'babies'. She never understood that term of endearment for pets but at least she cared, which was good. Hard to say someone caring to much about their pets was worse than the alternative after all. "My grandmother had some hunting dogs but they weren't really pets," those brutes had scared her, "but we did have some cats, rescues like yours."

The younger girl struck Alice as frankly a bit spoilt never minding the massive hypocrisy in that thought and she'd never really minded cleaning up after herself. rather than say anything rude, she just shrugged at the barrage of words and continued tending to her food.

"I'd certainly hope I am by now, been cooking since I was like 8? It was kind of me and my mums thing." Throwing some salt, pepper and a little bit of paprika in for some smokiness, it was coming along pretty nicely. "Thanks, wouldn't mind trying it. Doesn't smell like eggs though, it almond milk or something?" Taking a bite, the kid wasn't too bad. Yeah it wasn't perfect but it was balanced enough to be pleasant without losing flavour. "Hmmm, not bad you been cooking long?"

"God no, just to much gaming. Days kind of blurred together with them." The moving in de-stressing had gotten a bit out of hand. "As for why I'm here, I ran away from home, things got tense and some threats were made so I left."

Shutting the door on any further questions she quickly responded with "What about you, why are you here and whats home for you?"

Awww, sounded like Jack didn't like Big Blue and it was way more common that she'd hoped. Well, it wasn't like Big Chief was taken and she was keeping that one to herself for for now. She'd already embarrassed herself enough for one night.

"But you're just sooooo big." Well, so much for being embarrassed, "and if it's not obvious, blue's kind of my favourite colour. You're just, well you're kind of awesome and pretty and blue." Get a hold of yourself, for the love of god. Alice was going to creep out Jack before she even had a chance to be her big tank of amazingness.

Taking in the directions then mentally plotting them on her mini-map, she knew which way to go.

"Sooner the busting is over, the sooner I can get back to my room and play some games before bed." Shrugging, she wasn't as worried now that it was just breaking curfew she'd be done for. That was fine, she'd probably be grounded or get detention or something. Those were easy to deal with.

"What'll the punishment actually be?"

An eyebrow went up hearing that her sister helped self defense classes. What, was she some kind of ninja or something? No, that couldn't be her Serena could it, she'd looked so, girly and sweet. There was no way she was a badass fighter. "I don't know if that's my Serena. She's about my height, blonde hair, blue eyes? Last names Rivers like mine." Probably just a mix up.

Alice listen carefully as Abby explained her own circumstances for being here and it kind of put stuff into perspective, how easy she'd had it herself. But at least this place was a home, from the sounds of it and a good one at that. "That's, well that's kind of awesome, that the mansions such a good place. I'm still a bit lost here, so hearing someone so cute singing it's praises is reassuring," she added nudging the girls arm jokingly.

Noticing her hunger bar getting a little low, she pulled one of the many energy bars she had stashed in any pocket she had free. Thank god the mansion was so accommodating when it came to her odd food requirements and they even got the nice chocolate ones as well. Glancing over, "You want one? I've got loads and they're pretty nice. Can't go anywhere without them so I have plenty spare."

God that side effect was weird, and damn annoying from time to time.

Returning the smile with on of her own, "Well, clearly they didn't hide them well enough. Playing and learnings' an art, not something most can learn." Just a little fib, she wasn't exactly a truant at school, generally sticking in in most classes. Expect languages. Those she could sit in the back and just play some games while people tried to speak french.

Watching Abby, is was pretty obvious she was new to actually playing games, but that was fine. Everyone had to start somewhere. "She doesn't go here anymore, but she used to. Talked the place up quite a bit actually. Don't know if you'd have met her but she's called Serena."

Rather than play herself, she just sat and watched the young girl figuring out things for herself. Her facial expressions were pretty damn cute while she sat with the console. It did push her to ask a question of a different kind. "Do you like it here, at the mansion I mean?" She hadn't met many people here yet, or talked to them much at least, so getting a general vibe of the place was important.

Blegh! Late night gaming and early morning were not a winning combination, but now that she was awake the chances of getting a couple more hours was pointless. The stomping all around her and shouting certainly didn't help her mood. Or the dogs. But that might be her half asleep mind messing with her. It liked to do that, get it's own back for abusing it with too many games.

Crawling out of bed and shambling towards the showers, she spent a good twenty minutes hoping it would help wake her up. It didn't. Clearly, the only thing that would do the job was breakfast, preferably something with plenty of protein and fresh veg. Now that she knew she could raid the kitchen and cook for herself if need be, she'd happily taken to making her own meals.

Quickly changing into a plain white tank top and skinny jeans, putting in her various ear piercings and looping her necklace on, she was ready for food! Forgoing shoes she set of down the hall.

From the smell of it, someone was already making something. Hunger won out over introversion, pushing her to wander in with a sleepy "Morning," before moving over to the fridge, taking a quick glance and settling on a veggie omelette. Pulling out some mushrooms, peppers, onions and of course eggs, she quickly had them chopped, prepared and ready for frying off.

Looking over at the other person present, finally clocking they were a girl, maybe a little younger than her, she couldn't focus on introductions right now. "Excuse, you know where the frying pans are? Still finding my way around the place."
