I opened the door of my "dressing room" into a bright red hallway. This was definitely some kind of dance hall. I wandered through the hall as I had no clue how to get out of the building. I walked past what was clearly some kind of practice room; a couple girls were in there with clothes that matched my own, even though I was definitely cuter (I felt a little pride and embarassment thinking that). Finally, after passing about a dozen random doors I found an open door to a street.
My MAP said this was the bad part of town, but I was too awed to notice anything bad about it. There was a somewhat narrow dirt road and a bunch of different wood or stone buildings. They all looked old and exotic. They were mostly one or two stories and most unmarked. One across the street had a sign that said "POTIONS" and another one marked "KNIVES." I liked that old fashioned branding.
As much as I was excited by this fantasy world, I needed to find Suzie quickly. I told her I'd meet her in about an hour and I'd already taken about thirty or forty minutes. I hoped she wouldn't leave anytime soon. But five miles was a long way; maybe I should have just cut my losses and explore on my own
