Alice's tea party

Alice's tea party was a coping mechanism for her insanity caused by Messire. Before starting the tea party, she would search out interesting claymores and awakened and force them to live in her home. However, 60 years before the start of the story, Alice started making the collection of the "guests" into a formal process through tea parties. She would collect awakened and Claymores alike and have a tea party with them every three months, drinking tea with them and using various torture methods and playing sick games on them for fun. She believed that her tea party helped those inside it by making them stronger and live longer (in the case of the awakened and claymores).  
To exit the party, one must find the hidden key. Many gave up on this and resigned themselves to living in her mansion forever or tried to escape by drilling through the rock walls. The key itself was hidden in her teapot and was found by Grace when she smashed Alice with her own teapot.
The tea party is maintained by both humans and yoma. The Yoma are her servants which repair the building when it is damaged and the humans, attracted by the riches within her home, serve as food for the awakened or her entertainment (scavengers). An exception to this would be Sanctuary.
After the key was found by Grace, Alice left to visit Noble, listening to his demands and warnings and has yet to return to her mansion.
