Sitting on a far corner on the north side of town is a high tech, high fashion night club. It runs like a lot of other Night Clubs, with bouncers guarding the doors. You'll need ID to get in of course. Oh an the Bouncers? Lets just say they aren't the kindest Fire and Shape Shifters around.
Sitting just down the block from the Nightclub is the Dealership. It sells everything from skateboards to Lamborghini's. If you're tired of your old ride come and buy a new one! It is a newer building with a lighter paint finish on the outside and a very loud and happy salesman hovering around on the inside.
Nestled on main street between two large pine trees sits an old rustic looking building. There are parking spaces for you to park your car, and hitching posts for the occasional horse rider. Inside lovely wooden tables and chairs dot the pale hardwood floor. Along the wall are old ranch brands and hand painted pictures. The covers have a beautiful maroon napkins and plates with a flower design on them. The kitchen is stark white with one cook, but man can he cook!
This is where most of the town's houses are located. This is the good part of town. But also keep in mind these are more expensive, if you can't afford these you will be stuck with your apartment. But if you can afford a house you can fix it up anyway you want.
This is the bank, it is almost entirely made of stone, except for the wall of metal in between the stones. There isn't any carpet, mainly just polished marble as the flooring and high security codes, and doors to protect your cash.
If you would like to stash some of your money here just PM Kyle and she will modify the post inside to keep your cash there. More about this in 'cataloged in time'.
This is the Elemental Clan's hide out. It is located partially underground, and in the air at the same time. This is the coolest looking structure you will be able to find in the entire town. Built into a small hill the basement of the house makes up the earth elementals hideout with TV's kitchens, restrooms and everything else. The middle area is the Fire area, the temperature is always kept hot or at leat warm. The next story is the Water level with cool temperatures and fountains spreading across the entire floor. The top level is the Air area, her it is hanging out over open air, complete with a balcony and all. Their is a living room, kitchen area with a bathroom for guests right as you enter. Just keep in mind an elemental can roam to any floor but the special floors are for them to sleep in.
On the far south side of town, in the darker neighborhood, sits an old rusty warehouse. All of it's windows are either broken, or cracked, some are even missing entirely. Some ask why this large, once productive, building was abandoned. No one answered because the building it's self answers the question. Around every single door and window, air vent eve, are large gouges and scratches, slashes in the metal. This is a hazardous place, but some thrill seekers enjoy messing with the machinery.
Sitting more towards the popular part of town the Convenience store is the place to go if you need to buy anything. Anything at all. It is a little run down and the person that owns it is a cranky old annoying lady. But they sell anything and everything from bandages to bed sheets, from nail polish to lottery tickets, and everything in between.
This is a place they call 'the rooms'. This is the dangerous part of town, so these rooms aren't high tech or fancy. These rooms are simply a bare white room with a bed, bathroom, and garbage can. The locks on the doors barely work, so you don't really have any privacy here.
This is the graveyard on the very outskirts of the town. There are grave stones ranging from flat foot stones to fancy five foot tall stones. In the center of the yard is a statue of an angel. There is an old, creepy looking grave keeper that lives in the shack on the edge of the graveyard. He has a bad white hair comb over and always wears coveralls. You can't kill him. Why? Because he is immortal.
Back behind the Graveyard, not to far from a deep creek is a two story, metal building. On the outside it looks like it is any ol' abandoned building, that is from afar. Up close you can see the flower beds running along the exterior of the building and the high quality glass on the windows. Inside there is the Living Room, Kitchen, several Bathrooms amongst random bedrooms and game rooms. This place has cat doors near the ceilings, and along the very high ceiling is cat walks for house cats and wild cats alike. Each room is about fifteen feet tall, just to have room for the shape shifters to change into their forms and move around that way. There are also some dog doors, and of course perches on the walls and normal human doors. Overall, inside, this is the strangest building of them all.
This is Magic's only Human High School. It's exterior is a creamy white outlined in maroon. It has several flower beds on the outside, along with pine trees, and a few willow trees closer to the creek that runs along the outskirts of the school's property. Inside is black and maroon tile, perfect for spills and scratches. The lockers are large and the classes include Language, Math, English, Computer, History, Home Economics, and P.E. Why all the black and maroon? They are the school's colors of course.
Even though Magic is a small town they have a small one story hospital complete with a delivery center and an emergency room. They have doctors and nurses, even a front desk. Everything is run and organized like a large hospital. Many wonder why a small town like this would have it's own hospital, however what most people don't know is that this town is set so far away from others that it would take to long for one to get the hospital in the case of an emergency. The hospital is a large white building with sliding automatic glass doors and a shiny interior. The people are nice and the doctors responsible.
A block from the school sits a rather large pet store. Inside you can find all the supplies for your pets or even pets themselves! You can find dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, mice, snakes, turtles, etc. here. But you can not buy horses or cows. Sorry.
This is a park not three blocks from the school. It is named after the great count Carol, deceased owner of the castle on the hillside. In the center is a large pond, ducks enjoy swimming here. There are willow trees, benches, bird seed containers, and a statue of the count himself.
This is Quick Stop, a gas station and thrift store. Outside there are four gas pumps, you pump the gas yourself, here no one will pump the gas for you. Inside you can buy things from sodas, to candy, to chips and Cd's, to Stickers.
A few miles back in the forest is a large, rustic building with creeks running back and forth. This house is nestled back in the forest with plenty of room for the Lycans to run free. Inside are huge sofas, four fridges, two kitchens, six bathrooms, and two living rooms. This house is huge because Lycans are tall and muscular. Because of their need to eat so much the house has the four fridges, along with a few stoves and microwaves.
This is Carol Castle, it was built way back when. When the first vampires showed up in Magic. It's corridors have long, violet carpets running the entire lengths, trimmed in Maroon. Old pictures line the walls, tapestries show up in several of the rooms as well. The rooms include the Ballroom, Dinning Room, Great Hall, Guest Bedrooms, Master Bedroom, Kitchens, Bathrooms, and the Games room. The Games room is a large room with chess, checkers, and other older games. In the center of the courtyard is a huge statue, and fountain of a dragon.
This place is simply called 'The shop' to keep onlookers away and police unknowing. This is a weapons shop, a place you can buy your guns, swords, knives, stars, etc. It is an old cabin set in the forest not to far from the main road. Because of it discreet location police enforcement isn't trustworthy. In the back is a shooting range, if you want to practice.
This is the Salmon River, back in the old days when the earth was still very cold salmon populated the river. But now a day the fish that populate the river are the Grayling, Rainbow trout, and Brown trout. You only see the Salmon in the fall, and even then they are hardly seen. The water is cold, year around, and in the winter it freezes at the top and when it freezes the ice is very, very thick, perfect for ice skating.
These are the Mining Tunnels, a place not to far from Carol Castle. Inside you can find mine carts and old equipment. This place is dark, creepy with a strange, damp and cool draft. Makes a pretty good hiding spot, as well as a hang out.
This is where the vampires of the Northwestern coven can call home. The house is perched high up on the hill overlooking the Salmon River. If you are standing at the Salmon River you can't see the house though. The house is a two story, high tech, modern building with a fancy kitchen and two bathrooms. You could almost compare this place to Carol Castle, the home of the towns first vampire. Inside is beautiful marble floors in the bathrooms and kitchen, as well as the dining room. Throughout the rest of the house is dark hardwood floors. The living room has two TV's and the game room has several game stations as well as chess and checkers. The road leading up to the house is almost completely hidden by two huge willow trees, and the garage? Lets just say there is plenty of room for all the cars.
This is Magic Falls, where the town of Magic got it's name. It is quite a hike to get here but if you stand in the town square you can see the waterfall that starts near the top of the mountain and ends in a deep crystal clear blue pool. In summer the trees are a brilliant green and you can see birds and butterflies around the falls, making it seem alive. During really sunny days you can see a rainbow, giving the falls a sense of magic. During winter part of the falls freeze streight down to the pool, makes a great slide if you are a dare devil. The river that 'feeds' the Waterfall is called the Salmon river, so as a hint what type of fish are found in the river? Salmon.
About half way down the mountain is a set of stone houses and wells built right into the side of the mountain. Some ask why this town was abandoned, the answer? No one really knows. Old stories say that when the count moved into his newly built castle down in the valley the town's folk moved their.
The Ghost Hollow is a lower portion of the valley Magic is located in. This place is found south, south east of the towns farthest south point. Most people ask why they call this place Ghost Hollow, ad the answer is more complicated than you would think. This lush green hollow has a warm water creek passing right through the center, during cold days mist forms, and with the air currents the mist forms strange shapes. There are also reports of ghostly shapes and voices, so watch your back.
A little ways away from the town, in the wider part of the valley is a large Alfalfa field. In summertime the alfalfa always stays short and yet in some spots it is very tall. The beautiful color is something to see when the alfalfa is fully grown. Running through the center is a large creek that feeds into the Salmon River, this makes the alfalfa nearer the water healthier. There are a few trees here, and a few bushes, and a few boulders but mainly alfalfa.
