third labyrinth

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.))

[In the most deadpan voice imaginable:]

You expected me to show no interest? Truly? [He clicks his tongue.] And here I thought you knew me well.

[That last comment gives him pause. His tone shifts to something more tired but gentle.]

I'm flattered. [He takes a deep breath.] But I'd hate to intrude. I simply wanted to address the issue. The rest of the crew might not be so enthused about such an exclusive club.

[A beat.] Aaron comes to mind as a potential annoyance.

[Because when is he not.]

Oh, no doubt. But there's a clear difference between infiltration and sabotage.

[He shrugs.] Though it's possible he won't care at all. Still, it bears a conversation, I'd think.

A generous offer.

[He quiets, gaze lowering.]

... I'll think on it. I wouldn't want to smother you.

[Or feel out of place.]
noctiphile: (and i try)

[There's another long silence.]

... Very well. I'll attend a meeting. See how it fares.
