public channel, forward dated a smidge to the morning of d15

[kingsroads]

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! )

One would think the man calling the meeting would plan for the food himself, too.

[ Kicking this off with his usual charm, it would seem. ]

[whattaprick]

Booze counts as a snack, right?

[dirthena]

( if there's anything that proves she's no longer in thedas, it's someone trying to gather up magic users and teach it. which isn't something she's against, so she'll absolutely be showing up later. )

Looking for magicians sounds like you're wanting people who just know how to create tricks, not cast magic. ( 'mages' sounds so much better. ) But I'll be there, if you're looking for new members.

[wild_magic]

So it's just getting together, and talking about magic? No reading books or anything? [Because that sounds like it could be pretty cool...]

ill hit this w. Carly later but shhh

[soft_focus]

...It's ok if you can only listen, right?

....I'm still reading that book, by the way!! [But also, Notes Time. Childish, maybe not quite on the mark notes time.]

[osteothropy]

Does anyone have any food conjuring magic? I'd show up for that demonstration.

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya won't even address the food thing since Childermass already has.]

I will attend. Will it be simply an open forum, or will it have structure?

[brightspot]

I'm not sure I'd meet the requirements for learning, [Simply because there's not really magic in her world] but I'd love to listen and watch if you guys will be doing magic too!

[lonesomewanderer]

I do not deal in party tricks, but I would be interested in seeing demonstrations of magic by those here.

[ And what others here called magic. He's not so sure the person organizing this knows what magic is. ]

[criticallyfucked]

[If Strange hadn't specified he 'sound off,' Foster would have simply showed up unannounced.

So, thanks Strange, now everyone is warned.]

....

I'm coming.

[It's like a threat. Which it kind of is, really.]

[destiny_key]

I can come!

I dunno how good I'd be at explaining my magic, but, uh, I can try!

[hippocarnival]

[Well if there's gonna be role call--] I'll be there!

[It's actually really convenient, getting to hear all these types of magic at once so he has an idea what he wants to continue learning.]

[flashover]

[you can't see it, but Rin is waving his arm] Me! I'll bring snacks!!

Oh, uh, I guess my magic is... fire? I can make fire. That's about it.

[moonfang]

I ain't really got any magic, but I'm lookin' to learn some. Shapeshifting magic, in particular. Anyone out there besides that pink menace Mari who can help with that?

[he calls her a pink menace, but he says it in an endearing way]

[anti_nonsense]

Demonstrations, huh...

It's about time this vacation started involving my kind of recreation.

[Try not to let her destroy the venue.]

[spaghettimonster]

What about people... who just want to show off cool techniques?? Mine are very cool, but I'm not one for maximizing weird power effects. Not like Sans.

[He's not sure how much he cares to learn about others' magic just yet, either, but showing off is fun.]

[prazerbutterfly]

I suppose I could make time to show up.

[In his very busy schedule of doing absolutely nothing.]

[puddingemote]

I'll come. I asked the Ringmaster for stronger healing magic. But I need to practice.

[And he doesn't have a lot of stamina for magic yet.]

[periphrasing]

Sign me the heck up!

[She's actually super amped about this?]

[tacosgay]

Hell yeah, this sounds like a great idea! I'm in!
