[open] december will be magic again

Who: everyone!
When: the evening of D15
Where: A small meeting hall on the moon, close to the portal to the carnival
What: a whole bunch of show-offs meet up to show off their magic, people interested in magic come to learn about said magic, and other people show up to see if something inevitably gets set on fire. (aka mage club)
Warnings: none so far, will edit if needed.

The meeting hall is a large open space, with hardwood floors and a rustic decor. A few chairs and tables are scattered around, though there aren't enough for the amount of people who'll hopefully show up. Some food has been set out: mostly finger foods (tiny sandwiches, fruit, veggies & dip) though there are some savory options and plenty of home-baked cookies, courtesy of Rin. Drink wise, there's water, hot chocolate, hot tea, and a few bottles of wine because tipsy magic sounds like an awesome idea and this is what happens when the alcoholic makes the dinner menu. Aside from the food table and the few tables, there's not much of anything in the room: plenty of open space for showing off or getting out of the way of someone who wants to show off.

One of the doors of the meeting hall leads to the outside. There's a wider, 'backyard' sort of area with plenty of room for people to cast magic as large and impressive as they want. A fire pit stands outside also for warming your hands and other fire-based magic. Please don't set the building on fire.

This is all very informal. If pressed for details, Strange would have told anyone to just come whenever, stay as long as you like, and so on and so forth. The emphasis is on learning about each other's magic, displaying one's skills and talents, and helping anyone who wished to learn magic decide on a path for them to take.

Showing off is just a given.

From the table that Five has chosen to sit on top of while she watches the flashy spectacles of spells going on, she occasionally finds her gaze falling on Herbert with curiosity, noting the way he's jotting things down in the notebook he brought.

She's got a mouthful of cookie when he finally passes by her close enough for her to talk to him, and she hurriedly picks up her mug to wash down the food in her mouth before she speaks up and hops down off the table.

"Hey, wait-- What... What is it you're doing?"

If she had to guess, of course, she'd say he's probably taking a somewhat academic approach to all this instead of just being a captive audience like Five. But she's not gonna just assume. For all she knows, he could be sketching. (Which isn't a half bad idea, now that it occurs to her. She should have brought her own pencil and paper.)

One of the spectacles had recently concluded and Herbert had been intending to go question the mage now that the crowd had dispersed but he always has time to--oh. He'd heard Five on the radio, and is well aware she has no powers, making her a bit of a waste of his time at this event. It makes his voice a little terse when he responds, although he manages not to glance away at the mage he'd been intending to talk to.

"Where I'm from Magic has yet to be discovered--" incorrect, Herbert, you're from Lovecraft Country but go on "--so I intend to learn the science of it and the best way to go about, incorporating it into my work."
