And while you are sitting indoors
waiting for the storm to pass
I will be outside dancing in the rain
waiting for the storm to pass
I will be outside dancing in the rain

How did one end up in this kind of situation? Surely it took someone with brain damage or little to no mental capacity at all to wonder into a dark forest and get lost. But, this is Astrid. Who could really say they were surprised? She had a horrid sense of direction. The girl couldn't find her way out of a paper bag that had been torn open on all sides. All it takes is a little distraction to lead her in, and like a moth to a felt-covered flame she was trapped.
The guild master had been to this location once before when she did a job with Shizuka. But of course one visit alone was not enough to familiarize herself with her surroundings. Not that it was an easy thing to do in such a spooky and creepy place. So now lost and confused, she could do nothing but wonder around aimlessly.
The silvernette continued wearily along the strangely trimmed path she had been walking down for maybe the last couple of minutes now, purple eyes darting from side to side each time she heard even the smallest of unnatural noises. This place had been a lot less scary when she was deaf. At least back then all she had to worry about was the creepy aura and visuals. But now audio was added in too? Nothing could make this worse.
"This is what i get for getting lost in my music..." she mumbled to herself, pinpointing the reason she accidentally walked into here in the first place. It's not like she wanted to end up here. In fact, of all the places in Fiore this was probably one of the last places she wanted to be. But while on a stroll going nowhere in particular she guessed she took a wrong path, and with her headphones places firmly upon her ears Astrid easily ended up getting lost mentally, and evidently, lost physically too. What was she to do now?
If she did not find her way out soon it was sure to get dark. And what's worse than getting lost? Getting lost in the dark. Who knew what kinds of creatures were out here. Well, vulcans for one. And after getting kidnapped by a vulcan so long ago she was not ready for such an experience again.
"Allô?" the French woman called out, hoping maybe someone would hear her. "Is there anyone here?"
It was maybe not the smartest thing to do, seeing how many creatures here would love to gobble up a prey making so much noise. But at this point if she didn't so anything then she might as well just be stuck. Calling out would at least give her some chance of getting out of this hellhole.
