It was a typical day for Dave Strider considering he'd just moved from sunny warm Houston, Texas to Mason City, Iowa. He guessed the City was decently large considering the area but it seemed to slow after Houston. Dave was taking the evening to wander the streets and see what was in his new surroundings. While walking down an alleyway the teenage boy halted in his tracks as he felt a sense of foreboding in the air. Cautiously he reached into the air with his right hand feeling a curtain like resistance against it, going against his better judgement he continued forward stepping through the invisible wall.

Dave stood in wonder at the world he stood in. The slim alleyway had given way to a gigantic victorian style courthouse filled with every color you could imagine all moving and shifting like smoke in the breeze, the bright colors were muted by a pair of sunglasses placed on the blonde's nose. All around Dave was the sound of muted conversation with a violent cackling laughter that reverberated through the halls. Behind the laughter Dave could hear gunshots. Curiosity once again getting the better of Dave as he began to walk forward.

As Dave walked he began to notice where the cacophony of voices was coming from the bunches of walking creatures that strongly resembled sticks of chalk. The chalk creatures followed Dave as he walked towards the laughter. When he sped up they did too when they began to reach him they started clawing at his legs, Dave quickly realized these things weren't friendly and he began running to the laughter hoping they could call off the chalk beasts. No matter how fast Dave ran the chalk was always a little faster they kept grabbing onto his legs. Dave nearly fell many times but managed to stay on his feet, that is until he reached what he guessed was the main room of the courthouse.

The courtroom was mainly teal in color with red and white striped canes with dragon heads all around a center pit filled with a gigantic white dragon with glowing red eyes. The Dragon's mouth was open showing off large angular teeth through which the cackling was coming. It was shooting regular bursts of cartoon esc fire at a girl standing on top of one of the canes, she was returning all of the Monster's fire with bullets from rifles she seemed to draw from thin air. Dave noted her ridiculous costume even if it wasn't the best time to be thinking of fashion. The girl wore a white ruffled vest that tucked into a black skirt right under her chest and neon green boots over black and white striped stockings with a pair of dog ears on her head. After dodging a blast of fire she jumped at the monster when in a flash of jade light she was gone. She reappeared right in between the glowing red eyes drawing out a final gun she shouted something before firing a bolt of green energy into it's head. Then as suddenly as the whole thing began the courtroom faded away leaving Dave in the alleyway.

Standing up Dave saw the girl fall gracefully to the ground in normal street clothes. After picking something up off the ground she turned to the entrance of the alleyway finally noticing Dave. Her green eyes widening behind her big round glasses she looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Looking at Dave for half a second she turned and ran as fast as she could. Dave sprinted after her shouting out "wait" into the night.
