Good day to you my readers.

with blouses. For men, its trousers all the way.

If you have picked up this book, its most likely because you wish to visit a place where broom usage is
strictly prohibited. A sad element in our day and age,
but none the less most temporals don’t understand
or even believe in witches anymore, so we must be
careful.

Before you decide against it, remember the reason
for your trip. Are you prepared to take on this task of
blending in? If not, perhaps it is best to stay at home.
Visits to the Temporal world aren’t for everyone.

Now, onto the explanation of what to expect out there,
and of the difficulties in walking from place to place.
To start, you’ll wish to make sure you’ve the proper
foot wear for such an endeavour. I would recommend
visiting a local shoe store and trying on various types
of ‘sneakers’. These are the best choice, as walking
that much will no doubt leave your feet hurting by the
end of the day, perhaps even the first hour.
Be sure to take plenty of breaks. I implore you to
make sure you have water in a bottle. These can be
bought at a local shop as well. You are free to use a
potion bottle, but first make sure it is fully cleaned out
and the labels aren’t too distracting.

you drinking from an old ‘Babies blood’ bottle.
Now, we’ve covered the shoes and the water. You’ll

little tricky, and finding a way to order in, may be in
order. Temporal Outings is a good place to search for
how to get clothes. Woman tend to wear pants or skirts

I’ve saved this for last, because it’s the worst part in
all this.
You will feel a good deal of pain.
I can hear you all claiming to have walked often about
your homes, which is all well and good. But I am telling you, the walking they do daily far outweighs what
we do. This is why they’ve invented vehicles of all
shapes and sizes, to avoid the walking. If you feel secure in your use of their money and phrases, feel free
to call for a cab or take a bus*. Otherwise, I would
suggest taking time to walk to the nearest witch’s
house and get used to the pain.
By now, I hope you better understand what you will
need to walk from place to place. Go forth and see
what has changed in the world around you. See how
the Temporals have taken magic and turned it into
science.
