The fact that Charlie was asleep at all was alarming enough to the skinny girl with dark blonde hair. She didn't sleep very well. She couldn't. She had exceptionally bad insomnia, intense paranoia and nightmares, so sleep and Charlie weren't on good terms.
So the voice was jarring, the sudden stop of the train was startling and the crush to get out had the girl stumbling away from the crowd, trying to remember how to breathe. It's only after a moment or two that she gets a good look at her surroundings, and they have her pretty baffled.
"What the...?" Charlie states, looking up at the busted overpass, watching people come in and out of the town ahead. There's even a flicker of light nearby as someone rematerializes, Charlie watching the guy stomp off muttering something about 'stupid goddamn skitters'.
With really no clue what else to do, Charlie starts heading inside. Her first stop is what she's guessing is an information booth and the man inside is unsettlingly polite. This has her so very suspicious, especially when she's handed a packet of info and a place to stay and a weird phone.
There's also a box of bright pink merengues, but Charlie's not going to be eating those. Instead, once she's sure it's okay to, she moves on and drops the cookies in the first garbage can she sees.
"Where the fuck am I?" she asks, not really expecting anyone to hear her or answer her.
Night:
The whole two suns thing had been pretty intense. So much so that Charlie was surprised she didn't have a sunburn, or die from heat stroke.
It was the quiet of Haven that brought Charlie back into town, wondering what made everything go so peaceful all of a sudden. Looking upward at the first flash of color, however, and Charlie certainly stopped walking.
She'd never seen anything half as gorgeous as the Aurora, so she makes her way to a large boulder nearby, climbing to the top to sit down and watch.
