[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.

"You needed it? For what, fighting... darkness?" That was awfully vague, to begin with. "What do you mean by that, anyway?"
destiny_key: (yeah...)

"Yeah. The darkness is... y'know, monsters and stuff."

Ah yes, exchanging one vague answer for another one. Very helpful.
anti_nonsense: (Sorry. I don't speak Stupid.)

"Monsters and... stuff," Rita echoes flatly, her arms crossed. "Do you even understand much about your own power? Or what you're fighting against, for that matter?"
destiny_key: (nuuuu!)

"Yeah, of course!" Sora says, slightly defensive. "I'm just... not so good at explaining it. The monsters are made out of the darkness in peoples hearts, and they're called the Heartless. And the Keyblade is the only thing that can stop them."

That made sense, right? He's not use to having to explain everything by himself.

"Darkness in people's hearts? Are you talking about... emotions, malice, that kind of thing?" Rita's trying to narrow this down into a clear, specific explanation. But can something like that really breed monsters? It doesn't seem logical.
destiny_key: (is that so?)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-12-22 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah. Everyone has at least a little darkness in their hearts. And if a Heartless comes and attacks them, they'll turn into a Heartless too."

Rita, you're literally sitting in the middle of a magic convention. Logic is perhaps not a thing you should be looking for.
