third labyrinth

[lord_wizard]

Who: Felix Harrowgate
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video!
Action: Starstruck, if you want.
When: Today-ish?

[Today Felix prepares to do something that has the ring of familiarity to it for him, and anyone else who had once known him in Paradisa. The setting is different, of course, but old habit die incredibly hard, and he craves a little bit of what once was. Something that can distract him. He sets up the device on the kitchen table and reclines back against the wall.]

Greetings, fleet members. [He smiles, a bright thing reminiscent of politicians and celebrities]

I happen to know there is a good number among us here that practice magic or exhibit a talent reminiscent as such, and that many more of us still are deprived the company of our peers back home.

Before I came here, I organized a group of magic-users and thought the fleet could benefit from something similar. We had wider goals at the time, but I think here it will be far more about simply getting to know one another. [Though, if he isn't kidding himself, most of what they did was get together and drink] Perhaps there are things we can learn from each other, or perhaps it can simply serve as a source of solidarity.

If no one would be opposed, I'd like to organize more regular meetings, hosted in the Bishop's library to start, assuming our librarian wouldn't be opposed. Though, in the long run, I'd prefer to convert a space specifically for our use. The Starstruck's cargo hold, if nothing else. We aren't using it for anything else. [He briefly longs for the castle, and imagines a comfortable space full of chairs, rugs, and bookshelves.]

In the meantime, I'd like to know who might be interested in such a thing and to meet any of you with such talents that I haven't yet had the pleasure to speak to. [Which is probably half the fleet by now, but he's a patient man, when he wants to be]

((ooc: this is an organizing post for future possible mage mingle club that will probably happen later in the month.))

So, what - Chimera part dos?

[lord_wizard]

[He smirks at her. He doesn't know Spanish, but he doesn't need to.]

That's the general idea, yes. Though with a little less ambition. [For now, in any case]

[delincuente]

[It's okay - neither does she.]

Hm, that's good to hear. Ambition isn't really my area.

[ Steve had wondered how many of his fleetmates were wizards and how many were muggles, and then here this is. A part of him wonders if this bloke really ought to've advertised himself being magic to the whole fleet (not to mention whoever may be watching), but the majority of him doesn't really care. He supposes the International Statute of Secrecy can only apply so far. ]

I'd be up for it. Though there's not much I can do since they took my wand.

[lord_wizard]

But you can still talk about it, yes?

[deptofsass]

No one's been able to stop me talking so far.

[video]

[innercactus]

Maybe!

[ He thinks about this. ]

... would you want plants for the cargo hold, if you use it?

[video]

[lord_wizard]

Well, the decorating has to start somewhere.

[video]

[innercactus]

I don't know how to grow firefly lamps, so lights have to come from something else.

[ ... Firefly lamps are for decorating, right? ]

[Video]

[radiantwingedone]

.... I'm not surprised.

[ Maybe he's more surprised there isn't one already. ]

I'll be there, whenever you pick a time or place. [ New magics to give him an idea for new ways to keep busy. ]

[Video]

[lord_wizard]

[He's more in it for the social aspect at this point, honestly, but he wouldn't object to some intellectual puzzles to fill his time]

I'm glad I can count on you. [He kind of already had]

[Video]

[radiantwingedone]

[ ... Duke had gotten somewhat used to that too. At the very least, having people around while he worked on something. ]

To enjoy things that are vaguely familiar?

[ This time he can see how everyone else are peacocks- ]

[noctiphile]

The Starstruck's cargo? What an interesting location.

[He's using That Tone again. You're in trouble, Felix.]

[lord_wizard]

[He raises an eyebrow]

It's merely a suggestion. I thought it might be preferable to re-arranging someone else's ship.

[noctiphile]

And would we be blocked from entry? Not being magic and all.

[hymnals]

I'm in favor of the Bishop's library. Less movement involved for me.

video;

[lord_wizard]

That is always a benefit. I can admit I had similar reasons for proposing to hold it here.

I take that to mean you'd be interested?

[hymnals]

Magecraft is what I do. Well, that and, uh -- priestcraft. All magic, all the time. So, yes. Interested.

[hearsthesea]

That's an interesting idea. I'd like to give it a try...I'm sure there really are many things we can learn, with how different magic seems to be between worlds. I've certainly learned a little bit from my crewmates in the past months.

Video

[lord_wizard]

The diversity has yet to fail to amaze me. Sadly my own crew is devoid of those kinds of talents...though are some grey areas, granted.

Video

[hearsthesea]

Grey areas? Like what?

[peacockherald]

_{[ Ah, good memories. He could recall it now, sitting in the plush chairs, speaking amongst one another in the calms between storms, more than a little giddy from wine. ]}

It is good to know not to much has changed about you. I do miss our little talks though.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix smiles, pleased by the comment and the memories]

I'm a creature of familiar comforts. I thought it wouldn't hurt to pick up where we left off, considering at least three of us are here already.

[ Now assigned to the Starstruck, Zeta is exploring the new setting. He hasn't met any of his crew yet but wanders into the kitchen and spots Felix broadcasting -- he waits quietly in the doorway until the other is done, admittedly curious about the message itself. Magic-users? And what if they need the cargo hold?

He has no such talents, though, so when he makes his presence known it's just to say: ]

Hello. My name is Zee.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix steeples his fingers as he regards the newcomer]

Zee, hm? I suppose you'd be our new addition. Felix Harrowgate. Nice to meet you.

[He makes no effort to get up, but he does extend a hand]
