How do disarm Alice Keeley :
1) Take the wind out of the anger sails
2) Introduce genuine confidence
3) Pepper with compliments
Looks like someone understands the girl!
Too bad Jay's not here to take notes.
Any ways, at least Alice's getting a relief from the constant at-battle mode she's been in since the start. As long as Jay's not dead, everything could really come together here at some point!
Hope you like! Thanks for swingin' by ;)

Jay's version of all of that: "I am sorry, Alice. You do not understand."
Anyway.
Heh! I am... not sure I would like a fan like that who looks up to you based on the number of times you screwed with the system but hey! Man, when this is over, Alice is going to be one hell of a rebel leader, haha!
Encouraged to rebel without cause. Fuel to the fire, sort of speak. From Jay's stern lectures on control, to this, haha.
For someone who hates it so much, Alice sure finds herself pulled in a lot of different directions :P
In response to your author comment about Jay and taking notes, I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that he and Kate have already been making notes on each other (well, they've already said as much to varying degrees) but that things might also head in *that* direction.
(somehow)
Sometimes compliments are the way to go. They make people want to do better.
Someone wants into Alice's pants. Does Alice swing that way?
Well, even though there hasn't really been anything much pointing in that direction yet, it would actually help avoid a potential future triangle between the Major, Alice and Kate if Alice did both swing that way and went with it.
Avoid? Or make for a much more complicated quartet?!
Dun dun duuuun.
Hey, just because I said this swerve could help avoid a pothole in the road, it didn't mean they'd necessarily not end up in a ditch by the side of it instead.
To be honest, i'm not sure i'd know how to respond if all of that happened to me.
Watch it, Alice, that look she's giving you in the second (and third) to last panel is awfully predatory, even without the red eyes (anyone else thinking KATE clone?). Hopefully that doesn't mean trouble, but hey, who're we kidding here, right? :D
