Once he'd heard of it, Grimm absolutely had to investigate the Theatre of Calliope. A magnificent stage built into the side of a mountain? How dazzling! How divine! He must perform there. If this is what Spirale had to offer, then being here for an extended amount of time wouldn't be time wasted at all.

It seems there was nothing scheduled soon, but there was still a crowd gathering near the entrance. Grimm makes his way to the front, glancing upon what appears to be a magic show. The pink-and-black clad woman commands her tricks with experience, he thinks. Not a single hint towards their truth are shown, and the crowd ooohs with excitement. The Troupe Master finds himself impressed.

After the crowd tosses some donations to the magician and disperses, Grimm stays and approaches with a sly grin.

“The disappearing cards. You slid two back into the deck, pretending there were still four. You re-gripped one when you were showing them off to count out four. Then, acted as if you had disappeared them... didn’t you?”

A few days prior, a message rang out on her phone from quite an unwelcomed number detailing a set of locations, dates and times this week that Raine might find this fortune-telling witch around the city. The professor was a woman of her word though, and this meeting would ultimately give her a chance to discuss magic and artes that Magilou was familiar with. She would like to say that she wanted to help as well, but wasn’t exactly looking forward to the witch’s reaction on that being one of her intentions. From what Bienfu said she didn’t exactly seem like the type to seek out help, let alone be thankful for it.

There, at Golden Ward’s Marina she found the witch just having performed one of her fortunes on a local when Raine caught the eye of her familiar, sitting on the counter of an empty food cart. She shot the normin a glare and as she approached the duo, pointed with her thumb for the creature to go take a walk and leave the women alone to chat. 

“So... it is Magilou then? We haven’t really had the pleasure of having a conversation yet. Your sidekick has told me that you have some concerns about the magic here in the city, and I’m interested to discuss it with you. I’ve also experienced illusion artes before... so perhaps you wouldn’t mind...humoring me.”
