A message for you... (Crossover- Anna)

Here's the crossover featuring Alice for my lovely friend Ender-chan! I hope I did at least an okay job at portraying Alice.

Crossover with Alice, Ender-Chan’s OC from her story series musical misadventures in minecraft. None of the TES crew has ever met Alice (I think)
And she ends up meeting them and their mildly confused.

Jorrvaskr living quarters (lower floor) Whiterun, Skyrim 4E 201

“Farkas. Farkas. Farkas, wake up.” I poke him in the cheek to try and wake him up, but it works to no avail. I sit up crossing my arms, and stay like that for a moment thinking of what to do next. But before I can think of something I'm interrupted by two arms around me and next thing I know I'm pulled back down and can you guess who's lying next to me with a giant stupid grin on his face? Well if you guessed the man Im married to, your correct. “You were awake this entire time weren't you?” His grin grows wider “maybe.”  Ahhh it's too early for this.

“We have Gay Club today right?” Vilkas asks Alea as we wander around the city post breakfast. “We do. They're all coming later today. Juliette and Xavier are coming from Solitude so they said they'll be a few minutes late. And Valan and Sam are still waiting for their train, their currently standing outside Windhelm freezing in the snow. Lani, Carmen, Sarah, Maddie, Phillip and Everan arrive in like ten minutes and then Isabelle and Lucien are just over in Falkreath checking up on the Dark Brotherhood keep that lot out of trouble.” She says rapid fire as she kicks a rock that goes flying down one of the side streets. “You really know where everyone is, don't you.” I say in mild awe, I can hardly keep track of myself, and Sophie and Runa, who come running by “Hi!” They shout before dashing off. “Of course I can, it's all in the group chat.” Ohh, see this is what happens when I get no sleep.

Around 5:00 everyone gets here, so commences The Gay Club. Now you're probably wondering what in the world is that?! Well, all of Tamriel's current group of heroes and company are some part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I'll list the basic ones for now, In order from oldest (technically...we don't age/immortality) to youngest, Xavier's genderfluid, Juliette is AroAce, Lani is AroAce, Carmen is Ace Homo romantic and Nonbinary, Sarah is also Ace Homo romantic, Maddie is Transgender and Lesbian, Phillip and Everan are Gay, Valan is AroAce, Sammie is agender and AroAce, Issy is AroAce, Lucien is AroAce/questioning, Alea is polyamorous Lesbian, Vilkas is AroAce, Farkas is Ace and doesn't really know what else, either Bi or Pan. And I'm Ace and I don't really know or very much care. You like you who like, if you like anyone at all, so what? So what we do is we set up chairs and we chat about various things, we can get really off topic really quickly and there's lots of stories so it's fun.

“Okay, welcome to The Gay Club! I'm your host Juliette Kurfeld and today we are talking about Frying Pans and The Cards in society!” Nadjia inches out of the girls room “I heard the word Frying Pan...Who has summoned me?” She's pansexual, and Ria another companion is Bisexual. Both of them pop out and pull up chairs. We go around and say names and pronouns as we do usually when new people join us in our discussion. Then Juliette looks at her clipboard “who wants to start?” And looks around the room. Phillip shyly raises his hand “You wanna start Phil? Okay go ahead.” He clears his throat “okay, so Pansexuals and Asexual's in society. Well, their opposites aren't they? You're either attracted to a person of any gender identity, or attracted to no one, regardless of how they identify. I think they might have a hard time in society as in the whole the world has rather strict ‘rules’ like ‘you can't like everyone!’ When in fact Pansexuals can and do. And with Asexual's society is like ‘oh you can't like no one it's impossible!’ And Aces raise your hand is it possible to not want to do the thing with anyone?” We all raise our hands. The conversation continues, of how things are so sexualized in the media, to how people are unsafe even in their safe spaces, to how the LGBT community isn't just Gay and Lesbian, but extends far beyond that. Then things get more off topic, more lighthearted and joking, stories of our friends latest shenanigans and things of that sort. I listen intently until I hear a knock on the door that leads upstairs to the main floor. I excuse myself and open it stepping into the staircase, to find Runa tiredly catching her breath “someone- here. To, see you.” She pants “Runa you okay?” I crouch down to her and straighten her clothes a bit “ran all the way here. Sophie's waiting with the person outside, they were very- nervous sounding.” I nod I think I know who it is. “Well we’ll take care of it. Thanks for telling us. You wanna go say hi to our friends? Their inside.” Runa perks up and goes into the living quarters, oh ten year olds and their giddy enthusiasm, heh, I wonder if I was ever like that.

I walk up the stairs and take a left quickly cutting across the large room to the front doors the open them and quietly step outside into the cool night air. I see a girl standing beside Sophie, whose dark hair blends with the oncoming night. “found her wandering around near the gate, said she needed to come see you and papa, she said it was urgent.” I look at the visitor, and she meets my gaze for a moment before looking away, I thank Sophie for staying with her for so long and then she runs off to find her sister. It's almost remarkable those two, their adopted from two completely different cities, and never knew each other a second before they met when we adopted them, and their very close to one another. Remarkable. I turn my attention back to the girl “you seem nervous, what's your name?” I say as gently and calmly as I can. “Alice.” The girl says voice barely above a whisper. “Well Alice, my name is Anna. Anna Lenox it's very nice to meet you. Your Caitlin's student aren't you?” She nods. “Would you like to come inside? It's much warmer I promise.” And hold the door for her then follow her inside. She sits in front of the fire still shivering with cold, but eventually stops and she turns to me. “I have a message. From Steve, about Miss Caitlin. I'm not sure if you've heard from him already, I got a bit lost on my way here, by the way, where are we?” I smile, Phillip had the same reaction when Everan pulled him through to minecraft. “You're in Tamriel. In the country of Skyrim. Here's the map. We’re here, in Whiterun.” I point to our location. “Are you from here?” I shake my head “No. I'm a Breton, a half elf of sorts. That's why I'm a Spellsword, a wizard, who can also use a sword. I'm from a place far to the west, High Rock, I lived down here, In Daggerfall, on the iliac bay. But my Husband and his twin brother are both nords, a human race that love here. They grew up here in fact. See over there, that picture of two little boys? That's them when they were little.” Alice laughs, she seems like a kind girl. But painfully quiet.

“Anyways, the message. I'm not sure if you know, but miss Caitlin has anemia. From when she slashes her wrists. It's sad that she does that I wish I could find a way to help her.” I swallow, Valan had told me, and all the rest of us, after Steve paid him and Sam a late night visit to tell them. “I did know, a friend of mine told me, after Steve visited him. His name is Valan Velothi. I don't think you know him.” Alice nods her head knowingly “I've heard of him, dark skin and red hair? A little below average height? Blind and a really good violinist?” Apparently Caitlin mentions him from time to time. “Well that's all I needed to deliver, it was nice meeting you miss Lenox. Maybe next time you and Farkas come to Minecraft Alex and I can show you around.” Alice stands up and heads to leave. “I think that is a great idea Alice. It was lovely to meet you I hope to run into you again. And I hope my kids weren't to much trouble.” Alice smiles “no they weren't trouble at all! They helped me find you because, I was completely and totally lost. So if you could- thank them for me?” She seems self conscious and puts an arm behind her head. “I'll be sure to. Safe travels my young friend. And watch the dragons...I'm kidding I've got that covered.” And send her on her way. Then go back downstairs

“Hey Gays I just spent 20 minutes talking with a small child from minecraft what did I miss?” I flop into my chair. “Well...we were talking about how when I was visiting home and I saw Isabelle get kicked out of a church and we drew the satanic symbol on the door and made it rainbow because they found out she's gay.” Valan says. I look at Issy who's trying to stifle laughter “what?” I ask. “So I walk into a church and I'm like ‘the gay has arrived!’ And they are like ‘wut?’ And I'm like ‘what?’ And they get mad and I'm like ‘well if you need me, my number is 666-66-66’ and walk out the door and then I see that redhaired son of a bitch leaning against the wall like nothing happened and is like ‘hi.’ And then we found chalk and drew rainbow stuff because why not.” Okay… Ummmm, huh. Well then, see I told you this shit happens. Does anyone listen to me? No. “Well then. Wait a second, Lani did you change your hair somehow?” It looks different than the usual her blondish curls. “Ponytail.” Lanriael says and flicks it around. We chat for a while longer until Juliette closes the notes and says “okay, who wants food?!” It's probably nearly quarter of nine by now. We walk down to the inn, and quietly eat dinner by the large fire pit outside in the back patio, then say goodnight to our friends as some go to bed, Alea, Vilkas, Nadjia and Ria go back to Jorrvaskr and Farkas and I go home.

Sophie and Runa are already asleep when we quietly walk through the threshold, vigilance, the dog is asleep on the carpet, as is Cotton, the rabbit. We each tiptoe up the stairs and into our room, then promptly collapse into bed with a yawn and a sigh, each too tired to do anything else.

I hope Caitlin is okay, I hope Alice gets home alright. I hope everyone caught up in that whole slew of events turns out okay, they've had a rough time. But all one can do is hope.





Until next time,
Max
