Vivi didn't know Alexandria very well, but he was still pretty sure something was off.

He'd entered through the massive gates of the castle's walls, into the town itself. He'd seen the bustling citizens hurrying to and fro, possibly because of the play to be performed later that day... looking into the sky, he saw a massive airship heading for the castle itself, way on the other side of town... frankly, it was all a little intimidating, but moreso wonderful.

And then he tripped.

Shaking his head and climbing back to his feet, the shadowed face of the young boy could not be seen, no matter how he tilted his head under that floppy hat. No doubt utter confusion was etched all over his unseen face as he saw the large square he was standing in a moment ago, with a large fountain in the centre, was suddenly gone. Replaced by a street that didn't entirely match with Alexandria's aesthetic.

Vivi couldn't figure out what was going on. Had he walked onwards more than he realised, too caught up in the strange new location to notice? But the festivities didn't seem to reach this street. How could all that noise have disappeared so suddenly? Why was this place so devoid of people?

Nervously, the young mage took a step forward. He could probably ask someone for directions... if they seemed nice enough, at least. Would the people here be friendly? Almost everyone that Vivi bumped into had nothing but rude things to say, but it was hard to decry them for that, after all, he was walking into them instead of paying attention.

As the black mage fretted to himself on what to do, a loud yell startled the poor boy. As soon as he passed an alley, a large 'eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh?!' erupted from it, and Vivi yelled out in shock, falling on his behind. It seemed to originate from a pink-haired girl standing in the alley. Trembling slightly, Vivi tilted his head down as he tried to calm his nerves.
