Casey punches the broadcast button on the tablet which is sitting on the bar counter and leans into frame. He's got a bruise or two, maybe a laceration on the cheekbone but it's minor and woe betide anyone commenting on it.

"I've got this leather duster here," he holds it up, "from the warehouse rescue. If you're the owner of said coat, I'm at Caritas, the demon bar in Osten. Ask for Casey."

He turns off the transmission and tosses the coat under the counter out of the way.

"So, where were we?" He starts grabbing some bottles of liquor and setting them on the bar in front of him.

"Yeah. If you want smooth? It's the premium Blue Label you gotta try. Aged over twenty years. Only catch is it's 200 bucks a bottle."

"This is a Karaoke bar." He explains, pointing at the small stage and microphone. "People come here to have a few drinks, sing their fave pop hits. Embarrass themselves. Not always in that order."

"Sometimes Lorne gives them a 'reading'. Apparently he's an empath demon and tell people what their futures are gonna be or something when he hears them sing. Sounds like bull-crap, I know, but he does have some kind of mind-whammy ability. I've seen it in action."

Which is his way of admitting to having been read.

"What is a 'pop' song?" she asks, smiling a little but with genuine interest. As for the reading part, her mind is open. There are rumors of magic bigger than that in her world, though she hasn't actually encountered any herself.
