Bubba's Revenge!
Arianne materialised in a dark alleyway in Corus, capital of Tortall. Her knapsack was slung over her left shoulder, as she had seen some teenagers do in her fiefdom. She was lucky that Serenitatis was not far from Corus, or she would not have to able to teleport directly there.
Arianne gazed at her surroundings, taking everything in. The streets were dirty, and people hurried past her alley, not noticing anything. (A.N. Think NYC.) The roads were cracked and overturned cobblestone, obviously laid down long ago. Either that, or the city people had iron feet. The air smelled strongly of dirty people, and Arianne, used to fresh country air, had to breathe through her mouth.
She cautiously stepped out of the alley, her head down as not to attract attention. She walked down the street, attempting to look like everyone else, uninterested. In truth, she was awed. She never knew that there could be so many people in one place. She surveyed the shops on either sides of the street that she was walking on. She had to get someting to eat. Doing serious magic like that took a lot out of her. She had brought a fair amount of money. If she used it sparingly, it would last her 6 months. She had known from the start that she would have to find work, and she knew where she was going to go to get it. It was where young ladies her age most often found work. The Royal Palace.
After a few minutes, she found a small food shop, and purchased a loaf of bread and some cheese. She had decided to buy some dresses from a dress shop she had found earlier, and after that she would spend a few nights at an inn. It was already getting dark, and she needed to be fresh to pull this off.
She walked out of the food shop and walked in the opposite direction to the very nice-looking dress shop that she had noticed. At an intersection, she discovered it once again. It had the name writted above the door. The sign read, "Lalasa Isran-Fine Dressmaking". Arianne had glimpsed all the finely made clothes in the window on display and had decided that this was one of the best.
The store was painted light blue on the outside, and the sign was in neat gold lettering. Attached to the inside of the door were a bunch of brightly polished silver bells, to alert the owner-Lalasa, she supposed- when a customer had entered. The inside of the shop was very tidy, the desk being in the corner, with racks of clothing lining the walls.
Arianne stepped up to the welcome mat in front, and trying to look like a well-off commoner, stepped inside.
