It's never previously occurred to Cayra to put a door across an alucine boundary, but now that she's encountered it in practice it makes sense. It makes it visually obvious and it lets you lock it if you want. This door wasn't locked, and it looked like it led to a public bathroom, not a bar, from the signage, so she's still confused. Still, it's a good idea. She twists open the glass vial pendant around her neck and bends her head to the little blue lily inside to make a note of it; as an afterthought she tries to send it off to her antheomancer-chatcircle, anything to have a decent conversation, but it doesn't go. Her flower doesn't look wilting, but she can put it back in the garden and get a fresher one for the vial later. At least her personal files look okay. She closes up the vial again, giving the flower a touch of antheomancy for its health, and finds a bathroom inside the bar that dominates this little alucine.
And then she emerges into the bar. It doesn't seem to be staffed. Or stocked. Why wasn't it locked?

"...Well, that's... interesting." Harry shuts off the Sight.
"It's not like the stain of dark magic, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear. More like you're just sort of twisting your soul around into different shapes. It doesn't look healthy, necessarily, or fun, but it's not the special kind of awful you get with properly dark magic."

"It's not even noticeable from the inside until I do serious self-inspection. A lot of people can't even figure it out that way, they have to wait for their friends to tell them when they seem noticeably more vicious."

"Eesh. I'm glad you've got more of a science to it. And it's not obvious, but it definitely shows up on casual inspection. Though ordinarily I'd dismiss it as, like, 'bad breakup' or 'missing home' or some other personal thing. Those twist up the soul for a while too."

"I have been away from home for a while but I don't strongly miss the place. My parents are pretty good about leaving speakflower messages."

"Same here. For the most part."
Mouse headbutts him less gently. "And I should be talking about less depressing things than parents and people to or not to break up with, thank you Mouse. Your magic isn't corrupting you, it just looks funny, hip hip hooray."
