says to ALL: Her eyes were wide as she took in the surroundings. It was one thing to hear about the city, it was another to actually be able to walk the streets. Master Marius and his daughter were seated by a desk in the bank and allowing her the freedom for these few minutes was exhilerating. She loved being out. Of course her lamp could be decorated in any way she wanted, but years inside? Ugh!
She came to a stop at a tall map which gave the metro subway lines., her finger tracing along the green line, then the red wondering about them. She'd never been on a subway. She'd never heard about a subway. What was a subway? Curious, she glanced back at the bank. Surely it wasn't to far way, they would still see her. Right?

says to ALL: Noticing the group of people walking to a bank of signs and steps, she followed along, looking aorudn more than looking down. The first sign of trouble came when the stairs were moving. Moving steps? Magic? Here?
As she neared the first step which lowered, she stepped back to bump into the man behind her "Sorry.. i'm sorry.." as people pushed past her to the steps that traveled downward into a dark recess. "Are you going or not!" a man snapped at her as he shoved past her. She nodded, staring at the escalator, stepping back again until someone shoved her forward, forcing her on the lowering steps. Grasping the handrail, she gasped then was aweed as she was moved downwards without the effort of walking. Wow.
By will or not, she eventually found herself enclosed in one of the compartments and suddenly speeding off to parts unknown.

says to ALL: He looked up at the sudden fading of her presence. "Anuket....she's gone." he rose from the seat only to have Madalyne place her hand on his arm. "We have to get the signatures," she reminded him with a nod of her head to the banker as he walked their way. "It will be just a few minutes," she hoped. Resigned, he sat back down, his senses searching outward for the jinn he'd come in possession of. They'd find her. But how much damage would be done before they did?

..:Subway Car:.. ..Chicago's Subway Metro System.. .City of Chicago, IL.
says to ALL: She placed her hands on the glass, pressed from the sides by the mass of people that filled the car. How had she gotten in here? Clearly by moving along with the flow. They were like cattle being herded, she thought as she looked past her reflection in the glass to the tunnel walls until they moved back into the light and upwards. Going at a speed she'd only heard about, she was agog with surprise and exhileration. This was fun!
Well, not so much fun as the subway car suddenly slowed and jerked to a stop . She stared at the people standing on the platform, meeting the gazes of several. They were not happy at her staring and flipped her off with a few calls of ...objectionable directions. How could she do that to herself?.

says to ALL: The crush of people grew as she felt several bodies meshed against hers. Now that wasn't right, as she turned her head to stare at the man who'd placed his hand on her bum. "that's not nice," she let him know in a tone as haughty as any she'd ever heard. She frowned as all he did was laugh and squeeze. She'd slap him, but her hands were on the glass and with the pressure form all sides, she couldn't move her hands to physically smack him one. "I'll remember your face," she said with a sharp nod and firm intention as she filed it away in her mind.
The man laughed, "What you gonna do about it?" he mocked as he saw she was rather stuck in place and allowed his roaming hands to roam a bit more on her body, taking advantage as he did of her bare midriff beneath her choli. She hissed sharply, her eyes flashing angrily. Damn. She couldn't bewitch him. She'd been forebade any 'personal wishes' that went beyond the decorating of the lamp interior.

says to ALL: She could only glare at him as he played his hands up and down her body as much as he could until he moved away from her to leave at the next stop. The pressed of people against her faded with the shifting of the people as they came and went.
"Well!" more than a bit afronted as she found a seat next to an older woman. Surely that would be a good spot to sit.
Only when seated did she look at the others, then the maps and ads on the interior of the 'carriage car'. Where were they going? she wondered. "Where are we going?" she asked the woman next to her. The woman stared down at her purse, her hands tightening on the straps as if expecting Zoe to rip it from her hands. The woman didn't reply. "excuse me, but where are we going?" Zoe tried again., her lips quirking into a frown as the woman refused to answer her. Could she hear her? "excuse me! Where are we going?!" she shouted next to the woman's ear.
That got a reaction.
The elderly woman flailed out with the purse, hitting Zoe across the head before she scrambled to her feet and hurried down the aisle and away from Zoe. Zoe, was stunned and hurt. She as only asking a question.

says to ALL: She noticed a few eyes looking her way, but by and large most people ignored her. She didn't like this at all. As the carriage car came to a stop, she stood with several other people and moved with them to the exit to end out on the platform. As the car traveled off, she looked around, picked a person and followed them up the stairs. These didn't move. Stepping into the light, she frowned and shaded her eyes to look around. to the east was a row of ramshackle builtings, possibly old factories. To the west was the signs that gave the metro directions and lines. This looked nothing like that place she'd left.
Having not been on the carriage car long, she decided to walk back the direction she came. Surely it wasn't that far. Right? Right?
