what happened to san francisco? [[arrival, ota, tag Phoebe]]

[middlecharmed]

It was hot. Not just hot, but hot inside the manor, and for a woman six weeks away from giving birth it meant that Piper was flipping through the Book of Shadows looking for some kind of spell, any kind of spell to cool her down. Personal gain could take a back seat to being able to sustain some level of comfort. "Phoebe, is there more iced tea

Damon was on his way to P3 for a shift. He still liked it well enough, if he was forced to have a job, though truth to tell he'd been spending a lot of time at Fangtasia lately, keeping an eye on Bonnie. It felt like cheating, a bit, but he still showed up to work, so he figured Phoebe couldn't complain much

[middlecharmed]

Piper turned towards the voice, one hand on her stomach as she tried to decide whether or not he was a threat. A demon in designer clothes? Hardly.

Although, there had been Cole...

Shaking her head a little she gestured to the club. "Me and my club, apparently. How did I get here? How did my entire building come with me?" She didn't panic, not usually, but this was making her voice raise a couple of notches.

[prodigalsavior]

Damon shoved his hands in his pockets, her words pretty much cluing him in that she was another one of the Charmed ones, and not having any desire to end up seeming threatening. He flashed her a bit of a rueful smile, charming and apologetic all at once.

"You must be Piper, then? I hate to be the one to tell you, but you've been brought to another dimension, presumably by magical means. This is Haurvatat. No one's been able to figure out who is behind bringing people here, but there are a lot of us, all plucked out of our lives and deposited here. As for the club...Phoebe runs it here. I work for her. My name is Damon. I'm one of the bartenders."

[middlecharmed]

Piper was struck into shocked silence for a second as she tried to process what he'd said.

"Phoebe runs the club?" She actually laughed a little until she realized Damon wasn't, and she trailed off. "So we're all stuck here for some magical reason that no one has figured out? And magic decided that all the conveniences of home like my night club should be here too?" She half expected the manor to be around the corner.

Running a hand across her forehead, Piper took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "What about our other sister, Paige? Is she here too?"

[sky_andsea]

"You're in Haurvatat!"

The voice came from behind, and a moment later was connected to the curious, wide blue eyes and delicate features belonging to Cassie Blake. She'd spotted the older woman's arrival...after a fashion. It was odd, when people appeared out of nowhere, no big flash or sparks, just a sudden being that sometimes left her a little bit dazed if she was there to witness it.

Tucking a lock of wavy brown hair behind one ear, she held a little tighter to the Book of Shadows clutched against her chest, its red leather cover nearly blending in with the cherry red t-shirt she'd decided to wear that day.

"You must be a new arrival." she observed with as friendly a smile as she could manage, offering her hand. "I'm Cassie...maybe I can help? I mean...I'm sure you're really confused right now."

[middlecharmed]

"I'm in where in what now?" Piper asked as she turned around and gave the girl what she hoped passed for a pleasant smile, though looked more wary than anything.

Shaking her hand lightly, she looked around a bit. "Uh, yeah, I'm very confused. I'm a new arrival to what, exactly?" She eyed the book but didn't know what it was, too worried about a stupid weather spell having backfired to the point that she was in some creepy little village.

[sky_andsea]

"Haurvatat...that's the name of this village." she explained patiently, gesturing around them. "That's where we are right now. It's like...a pocket dimension. That's how I've heard it explained."

She smiled in what she hoped was a friendly manner, shrugging. "I was really confused when I first got here? And I've seen a few people now try to adjust to life in this place...one time I even had a guy throw holy water on me." she admitted with a soft laugh. "So when I see a newcomer, I just like to help if I can. So...here's me. Helping." she finished lamely.

[middlecharmed]

"A pocket dimension. Fan-freaking-tastic." At least this one was nice.

"Well, thank you for your help. I think. But now I have to go, so if you can point me in the direction of the exit, I'll be on my way."

[empathicwitch]

Phoebe had already been on her way to the club when she got Damon's message, so it didn't take her long to get there.

The last time Piper had been here hadn't really been the best for either one of them, so she wasn't sure what she could expect this time.

However, they were sisters and whatever happened this time,they would get through it together.

"Damon? Piper?"

[middlecharmed]

Piper hadn't really done much in the way of relaxing. While Damon went to do something she was behind the counter inspecting things. Standing up, it very much could have been just like the club back home.

For now her belly was hidden by the register and Piper grinned at her sister. "Hey, hi...nice club you got here."

She was so damn glad to see her sister, at least that part was right.

[empathicwitch]

It was Piper.

Tears were in Phoebe's eyes as she came around the register. "Well, see, I had this really good teacher once upon a time..."

[middlecharmed]

Piper turned to face her, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear while a hand came to rest on her stomach. "I almost didn't believe it when he said you where running the place. I must have been a great teacher. I'll remember that when I go home and you try to say you'd mess things up if I put you in charge for a night."
