[occulthymns]

[Euri isn't entirely sure what happened. One moment she was out in the forest, gathering some herbs for another batch of potions for her mother. She had managed to climb up one of the smaller giant mushrooms in other to gather some rare hanging dragon's breath, when everything suddenly changed. That mushroom changed into a metal street light, and all the trees had become huge, ugly brick buildings. From green to... greys and browns.

With a squeak of surprise she lets go of the street light, landing very unceremoniously onto the sidewalk and the contents of her basket ending up scattered all over. The only not completely terrible thing about her change in situations is that it's late evening and the street looks empty, so it seems no one saw any of that.

Several choice swears later Euri is pushing herself to her feet, glancing about thoroughly confused. What the fuck? She stays a deer in headlights for several minutes before she decides to do the first thing that comes to mind, and that is awkwardly moving to gather up her basket and its spilled contents.]

[AWWW CUTIE??? Rubs her arm, com... forting...???]

Only as long as it takes you to talk to him. Are you alright, my dear...?

[occulthymns]

[She turns a very violent shade of red and looks away.]

I'm fine! I just don't want to get separated!

[cachinnate]

[...oh god she's so cute lasjdlfkjaskjdf Squeezing~~~]

Don't worry, dear, I've got my eye on you~ [But oh hey, he's spotted the guy so... staring after him so he doesn't lose track of him! He won't move until Euri seems a little... less nervous though fff]

[occulthymns]

[She sighs audibly, nodding and leaning a bit against him.]

Okay.

[cachinnate]

You'll be alright, my dear. Come on, I see him...~

[Nudging her a little to the right and they're off into the crowd!!!]

[occulthymns]

[She nods and will follow him! She's still occasionally glancing around, but ultimately keeping her eyes on him.]

[cachinnate]

[Good good, he's still following Henry with his eyes and they have to make a couple quick switches in direction before they get through and... this guy is sandy blond, something like six foot, a touch on the burly side of things. Beardy. And he... spots them pretty quickly, eyeing Euri for a long moment before grimacing a little at Ran APPARENTLY HE DOES NOT APPRECIATE RAN APPROACHING HIM ALSKJDFLKJ but he does his best to smile at Euri when they stop in front of him]

[Probably the reason for his distaste is fairly obvious though because Ran suddenly lets Euri go to catch the man by the jaw and kiss both his cheeks, grinning down at him]

Henry dear, my friend wants to talk to you about magic~ [Aaaand then he's stepping aside, gesturing for Euri to explain ('8]

[occulthymns]

[Euri stumbles, but manages to catch herself quickly enough. She's staring a bit, automatically assuming this guy and Ran must be friends (because why else would Ran be that affectionate??).

.... It is kind of weird seeing a strange-looking guy like Ran act like that, though, but after a few more seconds she blinks and nods.]

Oh! Right - um - [And then she launches into a very longwinded explanation at how this obviously isn't Fuggum but there are fairies and Witches here apparently and how she was climbing a mushroom before suddenly being here and she's never seen a human city like this and Ran's been very accommodating but she'd really prefer going home now thanks.]

[cachinnate]

[...lsdkfj oh Euri you have so much to learn about Ran screech]

[BUT UH... OKAY by the end both of them are staring at her a little baffled, Ran because THAT WAS A LOT OF WORDS??? and Henry because NONE OF THAT MADE ANY SENSE LSDJFLKJSDF]

[And then he... carefully explains... that he's never heard of anything like this...? The only dimension shifting magic he knows about is ancient stuff, attempting to go to heaven or hell and none of that was ever successful )8]

[And then he side eyes Ran because tbh this feels a lot like a trolling attempt to him ffffffff]

[occulthymns]

[Euri's expression is falling... falling... falling until it looks like she's going to start crying again. THIS WENT HORRIBLY ;A;]

[cachinnate]

[lksjdf... LSKDJFLKJSDF NOPE Ran's gonna take a step back and shove Henry at her ffff YOU DEAL WITH IT]

[And Henry will... hold his hands up, awkwardly trying to calm her down. It's really not his area of expertise, you know, so you probably shouldn't take his word as law or anything like that wheeze D8]

[occulthymns]

[It's a valiant effort, but unfortunately she's going to start sniffling and... crying. YEP.]

[cachinnate]

[LKSJDLKJSDF SCREECH BYE Henry glances over his shoulder to hand her off to Ran but Ran has... gone away to catch up with Amily lksjdfkjl]

[So... yep... Henry puts his hand on her shoulder and... pats it... awkwardly sldkfj]

Hey hey... It's gonna be okay, yeah?

[occulthymns]

[That isn't helping any. Euri yanks away, sobbing even harder. She's surrounded by a bunch of strangers and she doesn't even know this guy, either!

So she's taking a few steps back before turning and running off. She needs to find some place more comfortable than this horrible place.]

[cachinnate]

[lkjasdf welp. The crowds part for her, not wanting to get in the way of a crying girl or one of those punky kids causing them trouble, and presuming she leaves the yard, the streets are quite a lot less busy now that most people are working. But it looks like... most people are just scootching away from her rather then trying to offer any help )8]

[occulthymns]

[Which is probably a good thing, since the last thing she wants right now is help from humans. She darts out of the yard and down several streets, not even looking to see where she's going.]

[cachinnate]

[Eventually the buildings start getting taller and narrower, almost looming as they block out the sun... Probably the exact opposite of anything comforting to her lsjdfkl whoops]

[The air gets thick with factory smoke and while the people still keep out of her way, some of their eyes linger as she passes them...]

[occulthymns]

[Euri still doesn't care. Her eyes are filled with tears and the most she can do is avoid running into any walls. She's turning down more streets, completely unfamiliar ones, until she ends up in a dank side street. Her sobbing is mixed with panting as she leans against a wall to catch her breath.]

[cachinnate]

[...sob she should probably start paying attention ;A; Because across the street there is a group of three or four people, murmuring amongst themselves and watching her. They're... decently big, in heavy jackets with odd hairstyles... and they don't move any closer for the moment]

[occulthymns]

[Maybe if she wasn't so distraught ;; but getting no help from Ran's friend - not just that, but him not even knowing what she was talking about....

Euri can't standd it. She just wants to go home and have dinner with her mother and play fetch with Dog and this isn't fair.]

[cachinnate]

[Well then... aughalksdjfls eventually one of them comes on over and leans on the corner of the building, leering at her. The voice is... husky but relatively feminine? And the person in question is fairly androgynous, wavy hair slicked back tight against her head]

Hey, little girl, you look upset, huh?

[occulthymns]

[It takes a few moments for Euri to look up, but when she does she gives this new person a halfhearted glare.]

Go away.

[cachinnate]

Aww, don't be like that, girlie.

[Reaches... towards her... to grab her arm SCREECH]

[occulthymns]

[That... isn't good. Euri tenses and darts backwards, the situation starting to sink in.]

I said go away!

...LKSJDFLJ COMPLETELY SWITCHES HTML

[cachinnate]

[Steps into middle of the street to block her way out wheeze]

Can't leave a girl lookin so lonely, couldn't live with myself, y'know?
