"Well true. And to be fair, sometimes I'm too curious for my own good. I've been told all the questions can get super annoying." It was something she had never grown out of, even now with her being an adult, she talked too much and asked too many questions. But she also figured people should give her credit for all the things she didn't say and didn't ask when she thought of them.
"I'll tell you what." She starts, her expression suddenly trained into something serious. It's so serious, in fact, in an exaggerated sort of way, that it's obvious that she's not really that serious at all. "I'll make you a deal. You smile a little more like you're at an actual party... and I'll keep the origin secret like a steel trap and nobody will know you came as yourself but me."
And he just opened the door for her to ramble about books and video games. Sorry, Gatsby. Only not really sorry. "Oh! I bet we could find a copy of the book here in the library somewhere. You have to read it. It's about this girl who wishes for something more to happen in her life. She follows a rabbit down the rabbit hole and ends up in a place called Wonderland where everything is crazy. Then after tons of craziness she wakes up and realizes that maybe her life is fine as it is without the crazy." Cliffs Notes, Dawn Summers version. You're welcome.
She pops one of the chocolates from the napkin on her hand in her mouth and makes sure to chew and swallow it before continuing. "Because wacky hijinks aren't always fun, you know? Sometimes they're dangerous." Sadly, Dawn is well acquainted with dangerous things. "So someone made this video game in the world of that book where when Alice returned home, she was talking about Wonderland and they thought she'd gone insane-o in the brain-o. So they put her in an asylum. But it turns out that it was all real cause Wonderland has fallen into chaos and she has to go back and save it. In the video game version Alice isn't just curious, she's also kind of a bad ass..." She gestures to her bloody dress with the bloody knife. "Hence the blood. Cause see? Bad ass!" The smile she gives him does not emote 'bad ass'.
