Aurelie
Aurelie had no idea what was going on around here, but there seemed to be a lot more people around here than usual. She wandered the streets with ever so curious eyes, clasping her hands behind her back as she walked ever so fluidly through the town's streets. It had taken some getting used to, but she finally managed to get used to these weird raised shoes she received in exchange for her rough twili feet. They weren't very comfortable, but it was better than going with bare human feet. Those things were just far too soft for her to walk around on. The whole clothes thing bothered her as well, but the dress itself was fairly decent. It covered what would be fragile skin with minimal protection on her body. In addition, it held together these unnecessarily clunky breasts so they don't annoy her to high hell. Why were these necessary again? Either way, she wouldn't be able to take off her clothes here. It was some like weird taboo to go with just your skin.
The buildings themselves were becoming familiar, as she hadn't bothered to look for other settlements. This one was large and diverse enough to keep her occupied for quite a while to say the least. In fact, she couldn't remember seeing the same person twice! Though then again, a lot of them looked similar to her. She headed into what seemed like a goods store and opened the door, prompting a little bell to clang upon her entrance. It commanded her attention, but only for a moment as she had gotten somewhat used to the oddities of this realm. The clerk gave her a smile before returning to his work, cleaning some sort of metal. She didn't question why he was doing it because whenever she questioned things, people seemed to get offended. The store itself held no significance to her, mainly due to he nativity of what any of it was used for. She picked up what appeared to be some sort of long stick with something attached to its end. After a few moments of inspecting it, the store clerk sternly told her not to touch unless she planned to buy, another concept new to her. Apparently, you had to trade worthless garbage in exchange of other worthless garbage in this world, which made no sense to her.
Seeing nothing else of particular interest, she bid the clerk farewell with a smile, the clerk reciprocating as she pulled the door open, prompting the bell to clang once more. Back on the street, she took a deep breath of the night air, taking a moment to look both ways and decide where it might be best to head next. Now that twilight was over, she could stay for as long as she needed, though she imagined her sleep cycle would kick in soon. Nevertheless, it was a time to explore some more, and hopefully figure out what was going on around here. Though she picked up on little things here and there, she was still in the dark about the big picture ideas, mainly questioning why people had all these rules in the first place. As she took the road leading in an upward slope, she questioned to herself why people didn't just do whatever and get along. After all, she lived her whole life without rules, and it was great!
Not soon after did she see a large gathering of people, all appearing to gravitate towards the center of a giant bowl of sorts. She assumed there was something interesting going on in there, so she carefully jumped into the crowd, assimilating herself as a random person here to go to... whatever this was. She found quickly that people in a mob tended to lose some of their courtesy and were rather rowdy. She was beginning to regret this decision, but she was being pushed along, so she couldn't stop herself from being swept up in the phenomenon. With wide eyes, she prepared herself to enter the giant bowl, becoming anxious as to what it housed. If these types of people were eager to enter, it couldn't be good, could it?
Before she knew it, they managed to get her inside, allowing her to see just how big the place was. It appeared as though people were supposed to sit on the sides, all facing inward to view the center. Well what happened in the center? She really wanted to find out, but the crowd was pushing her along towards the stands. Even with all the "excuse me"s and "pardon me"s she could muster, she was unable to get close enough to the middle to get to it. Oh well, she assumed she would find out soon enough. Being almost corralled, she was quickly placed into a row with a bunch of rowdy people, who seemed to expect her to sit down with them. However, she wasn't about that life, as she had better things to do than to just sit around while fun things happened. Now in control of her own fate, she squeezed past the few men separating her from the aisle next to her, eliciting grunts and phrases of indignation. But soon she wouldn't have to deal with that, as they were far behind her in her quest to descend the stairs. She went all the way down to the small wall that separated her from the ground below. What was so exciting about that large circle of a weird landscape? Surely there was a reason these people are gathered around it? Was it because of this weird prism thingy in it? Ehat was it's purpose? She was hesitant to try to go in, fearful that it was a ritual or something that required a sacrifice. Would she be giving them just what they needed by entering? She took a few moments to question her next move as she peered down into the strange land below.
