"Hmm this is neat, I've never really been in a really richy place like this before, and they seem to not either notice or care that I'm an alien... Hmm? Looks like a crowd down the road, might as well go see what it is." Chris thought as he walked towards the aforementioned more crowded area.

Oh cool. Looks like there's a fountain over there. Sira said. And with that, she walked towards it.

There was a decent sized group of people gathered in front of one of the houses. They seemed to be waiting for something.


GROUP 1 (Zanther, Sira, Mickey, D.G.)
After a few minutes of walking, the group emerged into a large circular plaza. Various nice looking shops and restaruants lined the sides while a massive multi-story fountain stood in the center. A large amount of people were milling about the area, many stopping to have their picture taken by the fountain.

"Hmm... I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out for a minute..." Chris thought as he walked closer into the crowd to get a better look.

There seemed to be around seventy or eighty people in the crowd, some human looking, some clearly alien. Most of them were in group of three or four talking excitedly to each other. Strangely enough, there didn't seem to be any signs or other notices that said what it was they were waiting for.

"Hmm I guess I'm not gonna find out what's going on unless I ask someone... and I'm not too good with talking to other people, so I should just keep looking for the center of town." Chris though as he went back the way he came, stopping at where the fancy buildings stop and then he stopped. "I wonder what the others are up to... You know, the least they could have done was give us communicators or something..." Chris pondered, slightly annoyed at whoever is running this game show.

Chris made his way back to the start of the financial district without incident. Unfortunately, no communicators spontaneously appeared.

((Drat, I was really hoping that would happed :P))
"Hmm... ok, so I've been uhh... which way is north..? Ok, let's see.... if only I had a compass... would it even work here? Ok back on topic >.< The business side and richy side... Ok, That way is north to me!" Chris said to himself and pointed dramatically to the business section.
"Ok, now that that's determined... I've been north and south... so I'll go... west!" Chris said as he walked 'west'.
((In case you are confused, Chris thinks Real North is south and so everything is flipped, therefore, he's walking east, to the 'wall', or whatever it is, of the city.))

Chris walked for several minutes past more banks and other finanacial institutions before the road dead-ended at a large stone wall that looked to be about fifty feet high. a road led along the side of the wall to the north and south but it appeared to be almost deserted. Nearby, a narrow staircase was set in the wall itself, leading up to the top.

"Ohhh this just got alot more fun~ Screw finding the others, I'm gonna climb the staircase to the top of the wall! Then I'll go down that deserted-looking ally next." Chris said getting giddy and he then started to climb the stairs.
((The stairs you mentioned.... they lead to the top of the wall right? Or just another building? You didn't make that very clear.))

(The staircase leads to the top of the wall. It's solid stone, but it's rather narrow and there's no guard rail. Are you still going to climb it?)

The stairs were narrow so Chris had to climb slowly to avoid missteping but after several minutes he made it to the top. As it turned out, the top of the wall was flat and sunken about five feet below the sides, making a good walking path. There were raised blocks set along the sides which could be stood on to get a better view. The wall (and the path) stretched out far to the north and south before turning. It looked to form a rough sqaure around the village.

Chris stared in awe at the coolness of this, he had never been up so high before. He tried to look for the center of town from standing on the highest-safe point. "Wow, this is great, I can see almost the whole town from here!" Chris said aloud, as if someone was listening. "I wonder if that over there is the center of town?" Chris though as he pointed to the fountain area. "I wonder if I can see any of the other earthlings!" Chris said, making him crack up slightly at the inside joke while he looked for his racial brethren.

The buildings prevented Chris from getting a very good look at the fountain plaza at the center of the town, though he could see a little bit of it. Trying to spot his teammates from up on the wall proved futile. Aside from the facts that there were buildings blocking his view of many roads and other areas, and he was high up so it was hard to make out many details about the people he saw. In addition, as the majority of people he'd seen in the village appeared to have a human like body structure, even if he did spot his teammates, he wasn't able to tell them apart from the other people.
