Curiosities.
The corners of Celeste's lips twitched into an almost-smile. She had searched for a place like this, without really knowing what she was truly searching for. Yes, she had come across people who claimed to be witches or wielders of magic, but after scratching the surface it was all essential oils and pouring salt on things that didn't need it. It would have been comical if it hadn't been such a colossal waste of time. Her parents spent years frothing at the mouth with warnings of Satanic rituals and black rites for this?
The brunette took a moment to corral her hair into a loose ponytail, fingers brushing over beads of sweat, and pushed her sunglasses up to rest on the top of her head. Celeste pushed open the shop door, the soft twinkle of a bell welcoming her arrival. Dust motes swam in streams of Vegas light, and she breathed deep. Lots of smells. Not all familiar.
She had to pause in mid-step, frowning slightly in annoyance as she felt something turning over in her stomach. A stubborn remnant telling her not to be here. Celeste liked to believe she had drowned every single belief that had been force-fed, but sometimes this still happened. It was disgusting. Then something bright caught her eye, a row of crystals basking in the daytime light.
