Alice and Anon are good friends! One day she invited Anon to have tea with her and he arrived right on time as usual. Unfortunately she got wrapped up in something personal in her basement and lost track of time! Anon knocked on her door and when there was no answer, he tried the doorknob, only to find that she forgot to lock her door. He goes inside, apologizing for the intrusion as he does so, but doesn't find her there. He was just about to leave when he heard what sounded like Alice muttering from behind a door that was left just a crack open. Slightly spooked by this, he slowly went over and opened the door a crack wider. Behind that door he found a set of stairs going down. He never knew this house had a basement and he quietly headed down. Alice was still too caught up in what she was doing to even notice that he was now in the room with her.

What Anon saw there surprised him. Lining the walls of the room were numerous notes and pictures, all pertaining to him. He even saw certain articles of clothing that he could have swore he lost as part of Alice's strange collection. Particularly noteworthy to him were several effigies nailed to the wall that resembled some friends that he had in the village. Interestingly enough, all of them were of female friends. At the far wall sat Alice herself, fiddling with something at a desk that was surrounded by doll making supplies. He could hear what she was mumbling much more clearly now. It did not seem to be words, but sounds. Anon was not sure if he was just mishearing the sounds that she was making but they sounded to him as though they were the sounds of kissing and moaning.

Anon finally decided to call out to her. Alice was greatly startled and nearly fell out of her chair turning around. She frantically fumbled around trying to hide what she was doing but Anon caught a glimpse of it. There were two dolls, one that looked like Alice and one that looked like him. They appeared to be stacked on top of each other on a doll sized bed. She quickly threw a large piece of cloth over them and rushed over to Anon to herd him back upstairs, all while apologizing about her poor sense of time and trying to cycle through as many conversation topics as she could in an effort to distract him and prevent him from asking questions.

Anon had a sneaking suspicion that he knew what she was doing and feeling kind of embarrassed for the both of them, decided not to bring it up at all. He had questions about some of the other things in the room and kind of wanted some of his clothes back but thought it best to simply let her keep both her secrets and his clothes for the time being. Much to Alice's relief, he was willing to play along with her distraction attempts and they were able to have a pleasant if not somewhat awkward tea time together.
