[On the way to deal with Alice, Ciel inadvertently runs into the other Alice--Jeff. There's not much in way of hiding, and there's no much in way of lying. Everyone knows he's the final staff left, that he's the Overseer.

But he still freezes, tense. Alice? may be a weenie, but there's still size and weight in play. Ciel knows he can't fight, not hand-to-hand, and that's why he had been hiding.] Stay where you are.

There's no time left. [Not with Judy partially pissed off.] I'm doing what needs to be done. Get out of my way.

...Yeah, you know, I can't deny that, knowing Alice.

But I also know you guys've been plotting to kill us, so how do I know you aren't trying to do the same thing?

...What are you doing, anyway?

also dont change into a girl wth alice???

[alittlemaster]

Don't be stupid. None of us have ever been plotting to kill you. [Kinda. It took a little plotting.] If I tell you the truth, you'll die, just like Elizabeth. Judy told her the truth about everything.

There isn't any time to argue or explain.

I activated the program Rhys left on the terminals on floors none of you can reach. I'm finishing the job none of the rest of you would do. This floor is the only one left. The program has to be run on all terminals.

You can either help me or get out of the way. Judy is coming. If you see her, she'll kill you to keep the purity of the experiment.

[It's difficult. It's a make or break moment, but Alice? knows. At this point, they're either going to die or...they'll die.

...He grits his teeth and makes an annoyed noise and shoves his hands into his pockets and makes his choice.]

Fine. What can I do to help?

[alittlemaster]

[Look, only one of them can be tsun, and that's going to be HIM, thanks!]

I am going to "kill" the other Alice. What happens depends on whether she decides to help or decides to try to kill me. I need someone on the outside to open the door over the window Veronica broke, and I need someone to help me or us out. [It could be a lie, but the knotted rope sheet that's wrapped around his shoulder is evidence of the plan (or some of it).]

The doors of the Operation Theater won't open unless one of us is dead.

When we activate the terminals, the power will go out for an hour. That's the only time we have to find a way to destroy the biosensors in the room of the door to the outside.

Do you understand?

[unnames]

...Yeah. I get it.

[It could all be a lie, sure, but... it's awfully elaborate to be one.

He'll do what he can instead, isn't that better than sitting around uselessly and hoping for the best?]

Fine. I'm in. I'll help. I'm over this shitty place.
