Months ago, during the Celebration, a few of us got together to talk about and compare the magic from our worlds. Well, it's been a while since then and we've certainly picked up more magicians, so why not revive that little discussion group?

[ he's phrasing it as a hypothetical but as Strange keeps barging on, there's nothing hypothetical about it: he is totally reviving that discussion group. ]

I've asked around and the smaller festival hall in the building closest to the carnival portal is available for our use. Anyone who's interested should meet there tonight, just after sundown, for an informal gathering to talk about magic. There will be space inside the festival hall and outside in the snow for anyone to demonstrate their techniques.

Likewise, anyone who wishes to learn about magic should come and visit as well. [ And there's a bit of a pause like Strange is trying his hardest to choose his words carefully. ] Magicians in the carnival have different types of magic drawing upon different techniques. While one school of thought might seem incomprehensible, another might seem as clear as day. This is a chance for those of us with magic to learn from each other and develop our skills and those of us who wish to learn magic to see what practice would best fit their needs.

[ There's a pause, because Strange has no idea how to end this. ] Sound off if you're coming, I suppose. Oh, and can someone bring snacks?

( ooc: this is an ic post about mage club, an idea floated around on the cr meme a while back. I'll put up a mingle log later in the week for the actual meeting itself. as for this post, feel free to threadjack around! )

[ Good thing that clash of egos will do all the work for her, so hey, win-win. ]

A bit late for that in our own world, I think, but it does sound like a different case in yours. England will survive. Why wouldn't Thedas?

( she'd say thank the creators, but considering they're not actually gods and solas is technically one of them, well. )

I'm not sure how to explain it to a stranger. But the world has existed with the Veil that keeps the Fade separate for at least a thousand years. No one remembers how to live in a world without it, and those that do not have magical talent now fear it, and the dangers magic comes with. To have those without training be forced to have something they fear and have no practice controlling in a world that reflects both reality and whatever someone might wish to see?

( well, she's sure he can imagine what might result. )

[ Chaos, probably. However— ]

Hm. I'm afraid that I'm not entirely sure of what you mean. This Fade of yours sounds more complicated than what I know, that is might be letting in more than just magic again.

[dirthena]

Quite possibly. ( she says, ruefully. ) I wish you luck, however, on dealing with any politicians. Or enjoyment in watching them run around, trying to figure it all out, upon your return.
