ITT: We walk up the abandoned railroad tracks northwest of Queen City

Princess Alice

Come on, guys, it'll be fun! This line used to lead to the old Rock Candy mine before it was abandoned...but now there hasn't been a train through here in decades.

My name's Lily, by the way.

Ooh, I love walking into and through random abandoned structures.  This sounds awesome.

I'm Norman.  Nice to meet you.

I brought a maglite, a headlamp, and some thick gloves, in case we need to do some climbing.  Also a pickset.

^^ Pff, electric lights. How cute.

*lights up her wand, holds it out in front of her as she proceeds down the track*

^ Hi Lotta! You look...familiar, somehow.

Aliroz

I forgot my name. Who needs one, anyway?

What if we run into an anti-magic field?

Princess Alice

Why would there be an anti-magic field by the abandoned rock candy mine? That's just silly.

Whoop, we're about to cross Highway 16. It's gonna take a while to get a gap in traffic. -_-

glennmagusharvey

Can't you just make us levitate across?

Or is there pterippus traffic?

Yarrun XIX

-sticks foot in traffic; immediately causes a 15-car pileup-

There! We can cross now! :)

Princess Alice

*sigh* So much for not drawing attention to ourselves. Let's hurry on across before the cops get here.

Anyways, I, uh, don't actually know levitation yet. I'm entirely self-taught, you see...I just bought a cheap wand off a street vendor and started practicing some simple spells I photocopied out of some books in the high school library...

What do you take me for, some kind of Kirisame?

We're almost to the bridge over Dove Creek. It's a good place to rest and just take in the view.

Haven

Wow, are you guys okay? It looks like you've been walking for months. 

*offers some water from his Official Canteen*

Princess Alice

You know, there's an urban legend that Dame Adorabelle, the witch who started that magic school all the princesses go to, lives near here.

I wonder if we'll walk past her house without even knowing it.

*shows up in a trenchcoat, galoshes, and a gas mask on her head*

What is UP, we are going URBAN EXPLORING, yayyyyyyyy!!!!

Imipolex G
