Damari sluggishly shuts off her phone when an alarm goes off the following morning. She yawns and sits up, stretching, then smiles. Charlotte is dozing off on the bed next to her when she looks down. Charlotte yawns as she gets up, sensing her movement.
"Good morning, Charlotte." Damari greeted, gently stroking her head.
Then she smiles and gets out of bed. She makes her way to the balcony, where she peers out at Pentagram City.
"Good morning, spooky Hell."
Damari continued to smile and take in the scenery for a while before something began to make sense. Her eyes enlarge and she lets out a gasp for a few seconds.
"What that heck?! Why am I getting used to this Hell already?! I'm supposed to be finding a way home!! Gahh!"
Damari is now pacing around, which alarmed Charlotte, who turned to gaze at her human companion worriedly.
"What am I going to do? What am I going to do?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Damari glances at the music box and a few books she either purchased or borrowed from Pentagram City. Charlotte follows her as she hastily changes into new clothing, gathers her belongings, and leaves the music box behind.
"I'm sure I'll be able to find some answers in no time." she declared.
But Damari is in the parlor now, seemingly mad and muttering a lot while she arranges some documents and photos on a bulletin board, so she was wrong. Though she was unaware, Charlie and the others were alarmed and worried about Damari when they discovered her in this state when they woke up. To get her attention, Charlotte tugged at her leggings, showing that even she is worried.
"Finding a way back home won't be easy. Those colors of the gems on that chest must have meaning behind it. But where can I get it? Maybe at a market or maybe I can call Vox, but I don't think I can trust him. Then there's Velvette with a potion making, but I can't trust her either. Ughhh! Where can I find answers?! Is there any magic books or spells? Do they even know about Earth?? Have they ever tried to find a way to get back there after they died? No, that's crazy! It could!! Oh, maybe...."
"Uh... how long has she been like that?" Vaggie asked with concern.
"Don't know. We just got here." Charlie sweatdropped.
"Uh, Damari? You doing okay?" Angel called out.
Damari snapped herself out of her muttering and turned to them, smiling crazily.
"Oh, no not really! I'm just trying to find a way to get back home! I realized I'm getting too used to this place without thinking about my family that might be worried about me! And I can't seemed to be finding any clues for this!! Books and researching didn't help! Because if I don't find a way home, my parents might died worried sick or they might forget about me, which I don't want that! So I better do it fast!! HAhaHAHAHHA!"
She then returned to mumbling as she repositioned some papers on her bulletin board. Charlie walks over to her, a little awkwardly, and puts her hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe you should take a break. Don't worry about it. We'll find a way to get you back home."
"But I need to find at least some answers that could help!" Damari said.
"Nope. You need to take a break, starting now." Charlie declared, pushing her towards the bar. "You look like you could use some drink."
"Already on it." Husk said, grabbing some bottles. "What would you like?"
Seeing that there's no way to argue her way out of it, Damari sighs in defeat.
"I'll take a Red Queen."
