Kingdom Hearts' Traverse Town

Cloud felt himself suddenly pulled out of the lifestream, and fell hard on his back. Picking up his sore body, he looked around to see where he had landed.

The buildings around him were in many different styles, as though each one had been plucked from a different city. Behind him was a set of large wooden doors, presumably the main city gate, and ahead of him lay the strange city. The people milling through the streets were of many races, and wearing many different styles of clothing, as varied as the city's architecture.

As Cloud began to make his way down the street, his foot bumped into something low to the ground. He looked down to see an irritated Moogle looking up at him.

"Kupo! Watch where you're stepping, big foot!" the Moogle said as he adjusted the puff ball atop his head.

Cloud stepped back, and kneeled down to the Moogle's height. "Sorry about that. I'm just a bit disoriented right now... Could you tell me what city this is?"

"Silly humans," the Moogle grunted. "This is Traverse Town, the place where the homeless call home! If you're feeling disoriented and found yourself here, then my guess is that where ever you were from has ceased to be." The Moogle picked up his bag and turned to go down the street. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have appointments to keep."

Cloud watched the Moogle disappear into the crowd and thought about what he had said. Was his world really gone, or had the lifestream just spit him out in this world? Either way, he wasn't going to find out just standing around.

Cloud started out down the street again, looking into shop widows and down sidestreets, hoping to find something familiar.
