You find yourself staring up at a dark city from an alleyway you don't entirely remember entering. Several things overwhelm your senses at once. The sounds are vibrant. If you've never had the chance to experience a major city's ambiance, well here this one is. From passing cars, you might hear blaring songs with bass that overwhelms the actual movement. Or the shake of an overpowered motorcycle. In the distance you can hear the wail of sirens.

And around you, you can hear people. The sounds of them living-- at least what would be typical of living at night, perhaps on a weekend.

The smells are just as overwhelming. Right now, being in an alleyway, you get the distinct, displeasurable smell of garbage, mold, and probably a few other things. Make sure to avoid any unknown puddles-- it doesn't look like it's rained recently.

The lighting is dim from this vantage point, but on the street, it's brighter. You can head back further into the alleyway, if you would really like, retracing the steps you don't remember taking... Or move forward to the main street and try to get a sense of where you are.
