[Changeling] A Gathering of Mists IC

[PhoeKun]

The door was open. Kalina didn't bother to frame it in terms any more grandiose than that. The door was open, so she had to step through it, or those under her protection would get hurt.

Marchande runs up the stairs, Charlotte close behind. And so Rose follows, halting just short of knocking the whole motley over when they abruptly stop in front of yet another open door. Stephanie is there, human and normal and... Rose's hand clenches into a fist. Is this the power of a place called home? The power to be yourself again? What made her so special?! Why did she get to be...

But no. Kalina's grip loosens. There's more to this situation: a little girl screaming "get out!" and bewildered faces and hat racks that walk and wear masks of fear and doubt and... ok now really, what the hell is going on?

And now Marchande is stepping forward, taking charge. Kalina closes her eyes, and breathes deeply of the air around her.
