[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.

Now there'a question he actually has to give pause over and consider, head tilting a little to one side and brow furrowing, gaze drifting off for a few seconds. Childermass knows he doesn't pay it all that much mind once it's been cast, but surely it would shatter should he become too distracted. He is, however, not a man often distracted when he has cause to misdirect attention.

So in the end, he returns his gaze to Syrlya and shrugs a bit.

"Not consciously, I suppose. I only need to let it settle once and then not again until it breaks, but seeing how I must take care not to become obvious in the first place, I think I may be maintaining it on some level if only because it never truly leaves my thoughts. I admit that I have not experimented with it much..."

As he's no reason to and hasn't actually ever had other magicians to discuss anything with in-depth back home, not until very recently and even then, that's been such slow going.
