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! )

Now that is something I know. [ Even he was new to them at one point. ] I would say you could learn as well but I am not so sure. It might be that any magician can pick it up or only a few. Never had enough around to try and see.

Well, you've got another magician here. [ no shit, Strange. ] If you ever get your cards back, would you mind teaching me how to read them?

[atouts]

[ That should be fun, trying to explain to Strange that a single card could hold a dozen different meanings. Hm. Still, it'd be would be worth a shot to see if any magician can do it or if it relies on something beyond just having magic. ]

I would not mind at all, [ he decides after that moment of silence, thinking it over. ] Though I might be better at teaching people to fly than I am at teaching magic. I suppose we shall see.

[kingsroads]

[ if any magician can do it, if it relies on something beyond just having magic, or if Strange is simply awful at tarot to begin with. ]

Well, as I doubt I'll ever be able to fly, my options are limited. [ he pauses, before asking, ]

Who did you teach to fly?

[atouts]

Someone with wings, obviously.

[ aka he's not saying.

Whether Rita cares who does and doesn't know about it, he doesn't know, but he'll assume she would care enough not to be gossiped about to Strange, of all people. ]

[kingsroads]

[ no shit, insert-period-accurate-detective-here ]

In that case, I suppose I'll have to ask around. We've got a decent amount of people with wings, but not too many that I can't piece out who.
