OoC: My apologies for not updating in awhile. I've been having some RL issues, and haven't really had the time... next time, I'll be sure to warn you before going on hiatus.
The train lurches to a start, then slowly gathers speed; after a few minutes, you are moving along quite quickly, though not quite so smoothly. Though not incredibly bumpy, the ride is still accentuated by no small number of bumps.
After a little less than an hour of endless, featureless snowy plains, you get a view of a small settlement nestled in a slight depression. Overlooking it from the west is a massive cliff, the nearest edge of which is lacking snowcover - the reason apparent among the western edge of the city, which is filled with rubble. Even from this distance, you can make out several decimated buildings and boulders the size of large horses amongst the rubble.
As you near the town, you can make out signs of an only slightly-used road parallel to the tracks. Next to the road is a large wooden sign, bearing the name "Balcony" in large black lettering.
The bumps become worse, the train wobbling slightly on the tracks and causing you to shift slightly in your seats. After a few moments of extreme turbulance, however, the train lurches to a stop. There is a wide boardwalk along the tracks, with a single signpost nearby that looks quite similar to the one in Mechanicus.
The buildings here show recent wear and tear; rocks and rubble litter the streets. The two boardwalks, one on either side of the tracks and street, seem to have been slightly protected from the deluge of rocks; however, many of the buildings on the west side have been at least partially destroyed by the rockslide. The people, however, seem to have recovered from the initial shock; they are working in small crews to clear up the rubble, and already some are up on the roofs, carrying planks of wood and various carpentry tools that are difficult to make out from this distance.
