It seemed pretty hopeless to get back to Mewni, not that Star was giving up just yet, but the large city and the quantity of the people in it certainly wasn't a good sign. She wondered just how long some of these people had been here.
Instead of going off to find the place she was supposed to stay in, Star decided to take a little adventure through the sector she was apparently going to live in. It was really, really unimpressive, smoggy, with a weird smell in the air that she couldn't quite place. "How is anyone living in this place?" She wondered allowed to herself. Continuing along the street she heard a squish under her foot and looked down to see that she stepped in a puddle of green slime oozing out from under a crack in the wall. "Ah gross!!" The sole of her boot steamed and she frantically hopped away from the puddle, attempting to shake her boot off in the process.
It wasn't coming off her boot as easily as she had hoped, and now it looked like it was eating away at her boot. "OH!! OH OH!!" Now more panicked, as these were her favorite pair of boots, she kicked her foot more violently before jumping into the gutter. A gutter that was full of watery mud. It was quite the jump, one that caused a nice big slash of mud around her. Muddy boots were a lot better than acid eaten boots. She certainly didn't care that she'd gotten her dress and stockings all muddy in the process.
Lifting her foot while still standing in the gutter, she checked her poor boot. "Oh thank corn... it's not too bad."
