    “Oh wow, this looks really good! Who’d have thought you could get food like this here?!” I sighed internally again. You’d think Tide had never been in a restaurant before, but of course mey had, just not in a gray district. It wasn’t a cheap meal either; this all cost me 68 marks… But it…

    Underview Station is nothing like Cumulo Station. Whereas Cumulo Station is the commercial center of its district, the area around Underview Station is pretty dead, awash with empty storefronts. Even the Social Services office, a legally required fixture in every district, has been shuttered for years. The only similarity between the Underview Plaza and Cumulo…

    There were a handful of gusts on the train platform, but it was far from crowded. Trying to board a train in the morning would have gotten me arrested; during rush hour the trains are always so packed that boarding is prioritized by license, with Social Services officers on hand for enforcement.

    WitchNet

    A year ago, magic – real magic, not just stage tricks – found its way into our world. It didn’t take long for networks of witches to spring up across the Internet, eager to share tips and help each other grow.
