Who: Zelda and you
Broadcast: video, fleetwide
Action: on a train somewhere
When: now
[The video feed starts up focused on - well, it's a blur. Once the camera aligns itself it becomes clear that the camera is pointed out of the window of a train, with high rise towers whipping by at a terrific pace. Zelda turns the communicator back to herself, and boy does she look excited. She's been shopping for one thing - she's wearing clothes that are available in a lot of the stores here. And around her neck hangs a lanyard with what looks like some kind of pass.]
I think it's incredible what this world has achieved in transportation. Quite apart from the flying transports, they have these high-speed trains. I've never seen anything like it before.
[She smiles brightly and holds up her pass.]
As it turns out, you can buy a special ticket as a visitor that lets you have unlimited travel while you're here. They give you little gifts as well, every ten journeys you take. [She doesn't say what these are, but trust me, she's already gotten a few.] So I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how long it takes to travel the entire planet this way! I've already crossed seven districts this week.
[She pulls out another device, which looks like a tablet, and starts tapping on it.]
If my calculations are correct, I should be able to do an entire loop of the planet in the next three days. [Glancing up at the communicator again, she nods her head definitively. This is absolutely her plan for the week.] If anyone would like to join me, I'd be glad for the company. I can let you know the next station I'll be at.
Otherwise, I'd like to hear what you've seen here that surprises you. I could mention so many more things - but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I can. It's actually magic, I'm a mage. Actually, mage consul to the regent of Stormwind.

And younger mages, we write runes to help channel the magic, I'm still practicing doing it without, mostly so I don't put other people at risk who teleport with me.

[She would use that sort of talent all the time, if she had it.]
Do you know if there's a limit to how far you can travel? If you tire after certain distances?
