Linking Experiments (Kallisti)
#1
It felt odd to be going to the burlesque club. It wasn’t really Emily’s scene. Elyse worked here, but Emily never really thought she’d go to one. In this instance she wasn’t going to see a performance though. She was sort of curious now though. Maybe she’d show up sometime. If she ever got the courage to go. 

She set up a time with Nox so he could inform people to be there and Liv would have a chance to get off work to do learn. This was a big deal and possibly would open many doors. She sighed as she drove there, Jared in the passenger seat. 

”You ever go to these types of clubs?” she asked him. 

Jared chuckled. ”That feels like a loaded question,” he gave her a disarming smirk. ”Burlesque, no, but I’ve been to my share of gentlemen’s clubs”

Emily smirked back. ”I see. I’ve never been to anything like it. I know - it’s not like it’s a show or anything.”

”They’re people just like anyone else. No need to be nervous.”

She nodded. ”More worried about feeling out of place.”

”Just be yourself and you’ll be fine.”

Emily nodded and arrived at the location. She went to the door that Nox had told her to go to, and pressed the buzzer. A security guy came to the door and Emily introduced herself. She was expected so they were taken to a lounge area. There they found some others already waiting. 

”Hi, I’m Emily and this is Jared,” she introduced themselves and took a seat. ”Here to teach people how to link and to try some things.”

Ana was the best boss, when she asked for time off she gave her a hug and smiled and said "Do whatever you need to hun? Specially if it's to help Nox." Everyone had noticed the change in him, and everyone wanted to help. It was hard because there was nothing anyone could do. Until now. Maybe she could help. Maybe they could all help.

Jared had left the house with a goal and he'd come back telling Nox that they found a way to combine power. It was exciting. Everyone was going to be there. Juls, and Sterling. They invited Ilesha and Cadence. Claire too. All the guys who could channel Nox had hired. They even invited Oriena, though Liv was prety sure that she wouldn't show. According to everyone at Kallisti she hadn't been around much. Nox had seen her, but he was special and they were fucking.

Emily and Jared were already there when most of the crew from the house showed up. Everyone wanted to see even if they couldn't help. Helping Nox was their highest priority. Hayden might even show up. It was going to be an all out party. Except it wasn't. Learning how to combine powers was new -- it was exciting and they would probably be the first group to learn how to do it. At least that she'd heard of.

Liv sat down next to Emily at their chosen table with a smile. She'd seen Emily before, when Rachel had first come to the house for help. But they hadn't officially met. "I'm Liv, you must be Emily."

Emily smiled as Liv introduced herself. Emily had remembered seeing her when she brought Rachel to the house. ”Very nice to meet you, Liv,” she gave a genuine smile. ”And thank you for your help with my sister.”

Emily took this moment to get names of the people here. Besides Liv, there was a woman named Juls, Anna, Elyse’s friend, Cadence Mathis, a woman named Ilesha, the blackthorn crowd, a couple burly men named Adrian and Bruno, a girl named Sterling who was flanked by the wolf girl Marta. Emily smirked as Marta seemed to be glancing towards cadence and then turning away embarrassed. Cadence caught one of these glances and gave the girl a wink which caused Marta to let out a giggle. Elyse was absent, staying with Rachel so Jared and Emily could be here. The two were cute together, but Rachel had turned Elyse down. Emily hoped that would change. They would be good together. Nox was absent, but upon asking, she was assured he would be there.

Emily brought herself back to the meeting. ”Okay - so Jared and I found out that we could combine our powers. What we do know is this. Only I could start the link, but only he could form the weaves. Connected as we was, he was utilizing my power. He could see the flows, I could only see half of it. It looked like there were holes in his weaves. It sort of feels like, he’s drawing my power through me.” she smiled, meeting the eyes of those there as she scanned the crowd. ”What Id like to do today is teach you all how we linked and then maybe answer some of the questions we have about it - like can men link by themselves and can more than two people link. I think this is pretty amazing and I think the added power will not only make magic more effective, but will create more possibilities with what we can do with it.”

Emily stood up. ”I was able to establish the link by reaching through Jared to embrace my power. But he had to be just at the cusp of embracing…I’m sorry…seizing,” she gave Jared a grin that was returned. ”His power. When he had hold of his power, it didn’t work. When he wasn’t trying at all it didn’t either. He had to be right at the edge of it for it work.” she looked to the group of men. ”How about you guys go off and try it on your own and I’ll work with the ladies?”

The men nodded in approval and headed off to conduct their own experiments. She turned to the women present. ”Linking with a man is scary. I don’t know if you’ve been told what it is like to seize their power, but it is different from ours. So if we do link with men, be forewarned. Let’s start with trying to see if I can link with one of you. Liv - would you be willing to let me link with you?”

When Liv agreed Emily smiled. ”Alright - prepare to embrace your power, but don’t do it. I’m going to attempt to link…now.”

Emily did so and smiled as she felt the added power coming to her. ”Liv and I are now linked. I can feel her power flowing through her and into me.” Emily began to form weaves, using both of their power. Mostly simple weaves like spheres of light (that seemed to glow brighter) and chilling a few glasses of water on the tables (ice crystals actually formed in the water). ”Jared and I haven’t tried much while linked. With the pregnancy, I’m wary to try anything new that might blow up in my face.” she said with a slight chuckle. ”Anyone want to see if o can link with more than one person. Cadence and Anna both raised their hands and when they let Emily know they were ready, she attempted the link with them while remaining connected to Liv. Her eyes widened as the connection worked. She was linked with three other channelers. ”oh wow - that’s a lot of power.” she said with a smirk. One by one she asked the other women if they wanted to connect, and brought them into the link as well. She had never felt this much power before.
