[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.

"Hm," Lambert says, tapping his finger on the table. Unknowingly, his concerns run idly along the lines that Foster probably considers a total non-issue, but for the sake of the spell's utility, it's something rather important to know.

"So what happens if you die?" he asks pleasantly, like he might just be inquiring after Foster's favorite drink. "Is it going to break itself, or will anyone you case it on just have to fucking live with it?"

"Well, it wouldn't be much of a curse if it ended when I died, would it?"

This time, the smile comes with teeth. He has the audacity to sound amused, which is... a less frightening mood than he's been projecting for most of this conversation, really. He's still very stressed; he feels the pressure, but he feels... more in control of it now. No longer desperate to catch Lambert's eye, his interest--Lambert is asking questions, and not bad ones either, really.

"The only mages who cast curses like that are vampires. And I'm not very dead at the moment, now am I?" His expression grows more pensive, though. He doesn't want Lambert to refuse him. He refuses to allow Lambert to refuse him. Not like this. Not over the inevitable.

"I could cast it like that, but...."

A pause. Then, with a kind of callous certainty:

"It would be better to leave it to the Ringmaster in that case."
