For what it's worth, it's really only repetitive if the char is brand new and asking all the standard questions. For someone like Alice, I don't think that'd be the case.

She might start with the standard questions, but it would be linked to all her observations and daydreams and insights. And, from your first few posts, you've definitely got a handle on that.

If she'd ask, let her ask! You've proven you're a good enough RPer to take the mundane and make it interesting. I have faith!
