That old dude said something about the people disappearing. Where did they all go? I just want to see someone who I can talk to... She was trying to find a way to the castle, but all of the streets were curved in odd directions... Why isn't this place just a grid or something? God, some little towns... Hopefully there'll be someone up at that big building, she thought, staring up at the castle. And maybe a phone. She sighed. Probably too much to hope for. And nobody would really be able to help me... Or want to. All the people back home think I'm dead, and nobody at the F.D. would try to come and get me. She noticed an alleyway that went in the general direction of the castle, and started along it.
She got lost quickly. Fiorella hadn't realized that the alleys in this place were more like a maze than anything, and took a few wrong turns before she tried finding her way out. She noticed that the alley was getting her ballgown very dirty, and had a panic attack, quickly pulling a pack of tissues out of her purse and wiping off the dirt. Damn. I need to get on something less bulky. Her skirt collapsed, and folded itself around her legs, becoming a pair of jeans. She got even more lost, and eventually simply groaned and sat on the ground in despair. There is no way I am getting out of here. I'm gonna be stuck in these goddamn alleys for the rest of my life.
Then she heard a splash, and jumped up. "Hello? I- I mean, 'allo? Eez somebody zere? 'Allo?" She walked down the alley towards the source of the noise, and saw Adelaide, just after she came out of the puddle. "'Allo? 'Oo are you? 'Ow did you get 'ere? Eef you are one of the ozer, 'ow you say, contestants, maybe we can 'elp eachozer?" She walked a little closer, and tried to get the rusalka's attention. "'Allo! Can you 'ere me?"
