Never Neverland (Open - anywhere in the forest)
Rufio was skating through the streets, headed towards the City's police department. He was going to take the detective woman up on her offer; even if he had to learn to read. It was better than any alternative here, and would probably get rid of his boredom.
He was going pretty quickly, hand holding his golden sword flat against his side. He knew from experience that the police didn't like his sword, but if they wanted to see his skills he needed to be able to show his fencing ability. It made sense to him that they'd want to know how good he was at fighting.
As he skated along he got lost in thought, and hit a ramp automatically but without much consideration for where he was going to land. Which turned out to be a mistake, as he landed sharply on.... dirt. He grunted and hit the ground, rolling slightly and letting out a yelp. He scrambled to his feet and found himself... in a forest? He turned and looked around, but saw nothing but more woods. The City was.... gone?
He blinked, then slowly grinned. This didn't look like Neverland exactly, but it was woods, and it was sudden. It could be a corner he hadn't discovered yet. The boy grabbed his board and checked himself, then went quiet and listened to the sounds of the woods. It was an easy way to get a read on your surroundings when you were lost, and if he listened hard enough he should be able to hear something to indicate where he was in relation to the rest of Neverland. Which he was confident was somewhere around here. After all, where else would he be flung into?
All that reached his ears, however, was strange and distant noise. And then, much closer, something scuttling through the brush. Something... large, and with a mean sounding snarl.
Rufio frowned, drawing his sword, then throwing himself into a backwards roll as a large animal flung itself at him from a bush. There was a flash of gold as he swung his sword, slashing across the creatures face and then driving into the back of its neck. The creature was dead instantly, and Rufio stared at it. It looked like a giant rat of some sort, and was definitely nothing he'd ever seen in Neverland before.
He heard more scuttling from the woods, followed by snarling and a shrill sort of shrieking sound, and he turned and held his skateboard by the wheels, like a shield, sword raised and ready.
"Bangarang," he muttered, dropping into a ready crouch, ready for battle.
