>close the door
>Ask if she has any dolls for sale
>Dolls are useful
>Dolls could help lift things you cannot lift
>Dolls can fight what you cannot fight
>Plus you can fulfill your dream of having a dolls-house
>After obvious denial, proceed to ask about Shizuha
> Patchouli isn't a dolls person. We all know that's not her specialty. :<
> If Alice is indeed selling any dolls, consider gifting one to Remilia.
> If not, go right to asking about the Shiz~
>You close the door, whilst pondering the virtues and vices of dolls.
>Remilia probably would like some dolls, it'd give her something new to harass.
>"For sale?" asks Alice. "Well...that would be a little like selling your children, don't you think? But, I suppose if you need someone to help you, Hourai could tag along with you for the day. I guess I could make you some dools, though, if there are some you'd like. You'd have to animate them, though, and that takes some time."
>"Oh, I've not seen Shizuha, But I've been here all day. I take it she's not at-"
>"SURPRISE!"
>"GYAAAH!"
>Alice's dinner table tips over over, spilling its contents everywhere, as Kogasa springs from underneath it. This time, Alice does fall out of her chair, whilst Kogasa dissolves into a fit of giggles.
