Old Guilts

[Casey]

Casey got a cab for both her and Cadence and Cadence gave the driver an address. Casey was quiet as they rode, and Cadence seemed to be okay with that. Guilt always welled up within her at the thought of the power. It was an old guilt that really had no reason to exist anymore. She had been told constantly growing up that witches were evil. Hell, she hadn't even been allowed to celebrate Halloween as a kid. It seemed like everything in her childhood had made her feel guilty. 

Some of those guilts she had dealt with.  She no longer felt guilty about her attractions towards people. Sex was fine too most of the time, but this one. She had just never dealt with this one. Maybe with some training this one would dissipate. Casey looked out as the cab drove through the city and they entered the Red Light District. Casey looked back over at Cadence.  Cadence met her gaze and just smiled. This seemed an odd place to go, and she was surprised Cadence would have even gone there.

The cab pulled up outside of a building. It looked to be some sort of a club. The cabbie was paid and the women went to an employee entrance and Cadence entered a code on a keypad next to the door. The questions were building, but Casey remained silent as she followed Cadence into the building. They arrived at a lounge. Plush chairs decorated the room. The place reminded her of a strip club, but it seemed more...classy...than that. A strip club would certainly make sense in the Red Light District at least. 

They weren't alone in the room. Some faces turned as the pair entered, and Cadence noted that some of them were kids. Kids? At a strip club?Casey stopped, uncertain of what was going on. 

"This is Kallisti House of Burlesque," Cadence informed her. "And here we might be able to figure you out."

Cadence turned and Casey looked around, trying to put pieces together. "Everyone, this is my friend and bassist, Casey. I just learned that she can do what we can do, but she's struggling to touch her power. I was hoping we could help her."

Casey didn't speak. She was still trying to put pieces together. Of course the drama was on purpose. She had that sort of relationship with Cadence. Finally Casey looked at Cadence and gave her a smile before turning to the crowd. "Ummm...hi everyone."

Juliana Nazarova (Moon Pyre)

It wasn't a surprise to see Cadence. She was a known figure around here now. Her friend, everyone sorta knew from stage presence, but still seeing yet another channeler so close was a shock even knowing that it was everywhere. Their little circle here at Kallisti was growing, and Nox was always pulling in more people with his very existence. And that hadn't changed even when he lost his ability to channel, but everyone was more at ease around the place now that the Head of Security was back to full power. He was around somewhere, checking the wards. Not that they hadn't been maintaining them while he was down, it was just his thing. He was paranoid -- and protective of his little family.

Juls smiled at Casey. "Welcome, Casey." she stepped closer and leaned in to whisper. "What is your struggle? We want to figure it out before Nox asks cause he'll just start throwing fireballs at you." It was a joke, but not really. He did and would most certainly open with a none threatening fireball if it were a guy who came looking for help. It was his go to move to scare someone into using their power willingly, nothing like my life is in danger to spark that ability.
