[Red Riding Hood had hefted herself out of her grave with ease. Unease tugged at her heart and not just because of the dirt caking her hoodie. It was the sudden silence that made her wary when she woke up. There wasn't Thumbelina trying to argue with Kaguya. There wasn't Jack in the back timidly trying to make sure everyone was alright. Those things would have just meant she was separated from her team but more disturbing? There wasn't the occasional wail from the Jail. Combined with the relatively normal landscape of the graveyard...
It put her on guard instantly. So when she heard the gravedigger making his rounds there was only thing on her mind. Red Riding Hood was already in action by the time he began to raise his shovel.]
You gotta be faster than that to get me, fella!
[Her shout was loud as she held onto the handle of the shovel. Her scowl was turning into a slight smile.]
If you wanna go, though, I'll be happy to help you. I have to get the cobwebs out of my head, after all!
[Sorry if you wanted to linger in your grave quietly, a brawl is brewing.]
Two
[There are so many things she wants to know. Where her team is, why she's not in the Jail, why are the Marchens replaced by monsters? One answer gives birth to a hundred new questions. Red Riding Hood wanted to get some idea of this new prison she finds herself in but the anxious feeling in her heart wouldn't go away.
Red knew that if she paused to think she might fumble. So she focuses on exploring the city even if the locals kept watching her. It leads her to a store display.]
There's so many hats...!
[Sorry, she's just. Going to practically push her face against the display window. That there's someone in the store staring at her doesn't even bother her.]
That one's nice... [Sorry, she's just. Going to take up sidewalk space now.]
Three
[Someone is lost. Red Riding Hood is looking at all the arcade machines with some concern. She knows about technology but this seems all so... different? She pokes each of the machines in turn. The small robots nearly trip her too but those seem fairly normal in comparison. After all, Marchens came in so many shapes and sizes.
But... She shakes a machine before turning to someone.]
D'you know how the heck you're supposed to play pinball? It's kinda too nerdy for me.
