a new world [ Traverse Town - COMPLETED ]
This newly discovered section of Traverse Town seemed much livelier than the other areas that Alice had previously explored. Street lambs burned brightly, illuminating the cobblestone streets as citizens of the odd, little town bustled about their daily business. As she walked slowly down the streets, trying to take in everything that this strange place had to offer, the young woman couldn't help but notice the many, unique types of people that seemed to make up the town's population. There didn't seem to be a dominant sort amongst the lot of them. Alice wondered briefly if perhaps many of these people hadn't come to be here in much the same manner that she had. Her heart skipped a beat as she wondered if maybe, just maybe, he had come here as well.
It wasn't something that she should've wished for. Alice had to mentally scold herself for even getting momentarily excited about the prospect. As much joy as seeing him would bring her, she couldn't possibly wish for him to endure the same fate that she had and end up in a completely brand-new world. She had given her very soul for him to continue living, saved from the darkness that had threatened to consume him. As much as a decidedly selfish part of her wished that she could see him again, Alice truly wanted nothing more than for him to live his life as well as he could without succumbing to any form of darkness or malice. That was truly what would make her happiest, selfish dreams be damned.
Forcing herself to think about less emotionally trying notions, Alice held the strange device she'd found in her possession upon arrival. As complex as the tiny machine had been, she'd managed to figure out more or less how to operate it. It seemed to be a journal of sorts, and as she had nothing more save her precious Bible on hand, the silver-haired girl was certain that she'd make good use of it.
Still, musing over the journal wouldn't help her current situation either. She was rather hungry and in need of more than a little rest as she was. So, she kept walking, keeping an eye out for anyone who might strike her as being particularly informative or helpful.
