Let's get it started~

There's no reason for her to go out. It's not a birthday, or a reason to celebrate. Instead? Raleigh's bored. She's bored, and she'd mentioned it to Les, and that's why she's going out tonight. She can hear the music thumping more than a block away from the club, and her heels click on the sidewalk.

She's taken the potions that Joel makes for her so that her leg doesn't hurt, and it's no surprise that with what she's wearing and the way she smiles at the bouncer, she gets in without having to pay cover.

It's after she's inside that she fires off texts to her friends, finds herself a drink at the bar, and scopes out the crowd. It's times like this that she realises that being nice doesn't really get you anywhere - and sometimes, not being the polite, sweet baker isn't exactly how you have fun.

OOC: Open to everyone as a gathering! Hang out with Raleigh, each other, whatever! Note, she's at about half-soul-sucked, so she may be acting a bit oddly. Set for Saturday night.

"But why shouldn't you?" She shrugs as she looks over at him. "I mean, you're not stupid enough to be Nerium." Well, there's times that she wonders if Les actually experiences the world the way other people do, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Much. "But I know you could... I don't know. Donate it to charity. To buy a Lamborghini. Whatever." She paused, and then her eyes narrowed a bit. "I mean, there's a lot of people in Siren Cove who are're just... poor, and stuff. Why don't you make money for them?"

She rolls her shoulder into a shrug as she looks back out at the dance floor. "I mean, unless you just don't care about poor people - that's totally valid. There's a bunch of them who hang around the store, and I used to give them free coffee." Not anymore - she's got other things to do, and why should she give them coffee? It cost her money, and just having them around cost her business.

"Look, no offense or anything, but you are speaking figuratively. What you would do if you had powers," Les says turning to place his beer down on the bar counter as he gives her a look. "It's different if you have them. If you have to deal with the consequences. Even good spells can go wrong."

He was raised by a witch. A great witch. What he can do today, she could do when she was alive, and she never taught Les to do the things Raleigh is talking about and it's not like they didn't have problems. She could've used it to make herself rich, get rid of her addictions, make Neal come back to her. She didn't though.

"Not only that, but I'm not a superhero. If I went around using all that magic, I'd probably put myself in the hospital from exhaustion," he says.
