Carina had found it, the source of the magic. When she had went to sign her name on the list, that area of the bar had been fairly empty, except for a scattering of people and the couple that had signed up previously. She looked over every one nearby, but her eyes kept getting drawn back to that pair. Her suspicions were only confirmed when the boy shot her a nervous look and then led his partner away to a table. The feeling of magic diminished as they distanced themselves. Ok, step one complete, now what?
Carina weaved her way through the crowd, finding an open seat with view of the couple's table. She tried to look natural, which was difficult because she was alone at her table with no one to talk to, no drinks, and nothing to read. She found herself with nothing to do but to openly stare.
They were a bit of a mismatched couple; the girl was slim and pretty, with delicate feminine features and presumably dyed green hair, cut short to give her a youthful appearance, meanwhile, the boy was kind of tall and gawky, but well-groomed combined with glasses to give a studious look. Glasses Guy was visibly uncomfortable, while Green Girl seemed more relaxed, flirting and smiling. Carina couldn't help but notice that the smile looked somewhat strained though, as if she were worried about something. Actually, the more Carina watched, the more it seemed as if they were both on edge, perhaps a lovers quarrel?
And now for our next performer....Oh what a lovely name she has, Miss Lizzette, Singing a song she calls "Summer Fly"
Green Girl rose to her feet and went on to the stage. Her eyes swept back and forth over the crowd, as if searching for someone, and then locked onto Carinas with a startling intensity. She looked almost...hostile, although Carina couldn't think of what she could've done to anger this girl. Had she caught her staring and been offended? She didn't have much time to dwell on that however, because then the girl began to sing. Almost immediately, Carina felt the small flow of magic trickling into the girls words and began to panic, thinking she was being cursed. She frantically searched through her mind, trying to remember how to throw up a protection spell. However, by the time she had managed to shield herself, the music had already managed to drag her into a happy haze, making her thoughts sluggish. She darted her eyes to the side, trying to see if the music had had any negative effects on the normal people. They were all swaying to the rhythm of the song, dopey grins and glazed expressions on each of their faces. Creepy, but nothing deadly. She became aware that she was swaying as well and shook herself out of it just as the song ended. The girl went back to her table, all smiles as if nothing had happened. Carina got to her feet, she needed to talk to that girl...
And for our next perfomance, it looks like we have a newcomer. Give a warm welcome to Miss Carina Melinkov who will be singing Drops of Jupiter!
Damn, Carina had forgotten that she had signed up to sing. She just hoped that she could finish this up quickly and that the couple wouldn't leave. She went up on stage, faking confidence and beaming at the audience. She launched into the song and quickly got lost in the lyrics. She closed her eyes, putting all her focus on hitting the notes with the proper sound and emotion. Carina knew that she probably hadn't picked the most original song, but she was genuinely enjoying herself. As she rang out the last few notes, she opened her eyes to gauge the audiences reaction. Judging by their facial expressions and light applause, they seemed to have liked it. Only as she reached her table did she remember her initial objective: find the couple and talk to them.
