"What's going on sis, like this is some seriously weird stuff." Cassie's her brother said, being pulled along by Cassie. They ran through the stores, seeing several of them made into Whitney-centric shops already. "No time to explain, we have to hurry."
A stray Whitney caught sight of them. "Hey, there you are! No one leaves the collective!" She ran back to warn the others. Cassie swore under her breath.
"We don't have a lot of time. I've heard a lot of rumors about this one place, so it might be our only hope." Cassie took her brother up an elevator.
"Our hope, from what? What kind of place?"
"They say that Dark Magic is accessible here. I once had someone examine my abilities at this place. It's not really for conventional magic or anything, more like boot leg and pirated, trendy underground sorcery. You'll never find a seedier underbelly to hide in. Plus one of the managers a wizard, I'm pretty sure."
"Okay, but what is it?" His sister grabbed him out of the elevator upon opening and they marched forward.
"There!" she pointed.
Right in front of them, was none other than a fresh, untouched Hot Topic.
