Walking through the crowded marketplace was a tough enough job for anyone, but proved difficult for anyone carrying multiple bags full of bargain items. Airi wriggled her way through the masses of people as they argued over cheap and miss-priced prized items.
Being skinny had it's advantages, other than looking great, she could easily wiggle through large crowds and get away unscathed. This was usually no problem but today posed it's own problems. Her bags couldn't make it through the tight squeezes as she could.
She glared at the crowd of people and focused her attention at the two overly large people that her shopping bag were squished between. A frown appeared on her face, and dissatisfaction filled her eyes as she grabbed the bag handles and yanked them lose from their prison. With a small sigh of relief she smiled and started to walk off happily towards the metro to head back home after her successful day at the marketplace.
As Airi headed towards the metro she stopped and looked down one of the busier streets of Gaia and saw that the Mods were passing out presents and tossing gold to the happy Gaians. She stopped and smiled sheepishly, as she knew she could not pass up this opportunity. So she skipped over, closer and closer to the crowds and the happy mods. Airi smiled and hoped that she could ask the Mods for a set of mini's. She blushed as she continued to push towards the front of the crowd.
At that moment there were screams from the front. The crowd was pushed back and many people started to loose their balance and topple over others. Airi gasped and was pushed down to the ground by a man trying to keep his balance.
Suddenly people were scrambling to their feet and running away, screaming at the top of their lungs. Their screams created widespread panic in the crowd. Everyone was trying to get away from the front in a hurry.
Airi curled up and covered her head in order to keep herself from being trampled.
"Ahhhh! What's going on!?" She shouted to herself as many stepped and tripped over her small body.
