Not only was it really strange to have been in this weird new land for a week, but when he woke up that morning and looked out his window, he saw something even stranger. There were machines of all kinds set up around the city. They rose high into the sky and circled, dipped and weaved in between other machines and attractions. He was pretty sure he didn't want to go find out what they were or why they had suddenly been put there, but he also knew that as a warrior he couldn't rightly allow himself to become lax in his knowledge of the place.

He finally mustered up the strength to face whatever was out there about mid morning. That and his stomach had started to protest its neglect. He pulled on his cloak and boots then left his room. He avoided looking at anyone. He didn't want to start a meaningless conversation or worse yet, get to know someone. He stopped outside the dorm and looked up. The machines were enormous. He'd never seen anything like them and while that didn't totally unnerve him, it did mean he'd have to ask someone what they were. Maybe one of those goblins.

But first, his stomach. It needed appeasing. He walked by a few of the concession stands, noting strange foods on display. Or, what he supposed was food. It smelled like food. Just not like any food he'd ever had before. Finally, he stepped up to one and looked the offerings over. He scanned the list of available foods behind the faceless vendor and looked down, trying to figure out which was which. Nachos, cotton candy, funnel cakes, corn dogs, fried twinkies, caramel apples, chili fries, and all manner of other things. He recognized the fries for what they were; fried potatoes. The other things didn't looks all that appetizing.

He was still trying to decide what to order when he heard someone's feet shuffling behind him.

Cathal turned at the sound of two pairs of footsteps. He hadn't met very many people, but all of them had been women. If he hadn't been forced to go to the ball, he would have sworn that that's the only gender that occupied this place. Save himself, of course. He was beginning to wonder if it was some sort of cruel joke on Jareth's part. Keep him meeting women except the one he really wanted. He was pleasantly surprised, then, to find that a man was one of the two behind him. It didn't gain a smile from him, but he was pleased nevertheless.

He took a step back from the stand and motioned to it with a sweep of his arm. "I haven't quite figured out what all this is, so you go ahead and order if you like." He was a bit interested to see what these people would order first, then maybe he'd feel a little more comfortable with his choice. As it was he was leaning toward the fries.

He had just stepped back when he realized that the woman's hair was a very bright shade of pink. No one he had previously encountered hair hair that color and it startled him. He couldn't help but stare at it and note that she seemed perfectly at ease with it. There was also no cause for alarm from the man. He looked around to see if anyone else had a strange reaction to it, but anyone who passed them paid her no mind. Then he began to wonder if it was just him. Was he seeing things?

He finally got a grip on himself and closed the mouth that had dropped open without his notice. He turned back to the stand and watched to see what items they would get.
