Magical Reserve - Behind the Cabins, Friday

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

There was a distinct lack of cauldrons to give this sort of gathering a magic-y sort of credibility. There was, however, some biscuits picked up from JGoB.

And some tea. Because it calmed his nerves on being back in the damned woods gathering people like himself all together in one place. There was always the possibility that one of them would try to kill Arthur. Simple facts of life, that.

He rather hoped that wouldn't be the case at all.

There is tea and biscuits for any who want it. Isn't that an enticement to come and talk amongst yourselves?

Arthur wasn't in the least bit magical. He was only here for two reasons: to keep an eye on what was going on in this group (to coordinate things better) and to intercept Morgana in case she got it into her head to show up, in which case they needed to have a Talk, and she needed to be Elsewhere.

So he was lurking near the back, half-leaning into a tree, and watching.

Diana was there, mostly to for the entertainment.

Liir showed up. It was going to be a busy Friday and he wasn't quite sure what he could do to help anyone except provide emergency scurvy prevention, but he was there.

Gabrielle wasn't the least bit magical but she was infinitely curious, not to mention possessed of a certain ability to drift straight into situations with infinite potential for disaster. (For her, anyway.) So, having been free of classes and wanting to explore a little more of the woods that were so oddly not all that different from the ones in New Zealand Greece, she ended up stumbling across the gathering.

That little figure in the skirt that looked like it was made of burlap and the brown homespun top, peering inquisitively from a spot in back, near a tree? That'd be her.

Really? Seriously? From J,GoB? Francine gave Merlin a Look when she showed up with a tray of fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.

She could at least help with that, even if she couldn't do anything magic herself. ...Or bring herself to edit his posters.

Abigail Irene came, as she'd told Tony she would. Best to watch over this kind of thing; enough magic users in one place was dangerous. Most of them young and quite a few of them inexperienced?

Oh don't get her started.

Dinah wasn't sure where she belonged on these rosters, and okay, she was a three-talent wonder, but still. It'd be good to find out what Merlin and Tony were planning too.

Although he knew a great deal about magic, Minsc was not very magical himself, outside of a few dinky little unimpressive spells.

Still, it was not the magic that brought him out to peek in on the kids this afternoon. Oh, no. It was simply because he realized that Sir Merlin was finally embracing his magic, or so it would seem, and that caused for celebration! Or at least a congratulations!

Plus, okay, he knew there might be some drama llamas. He couldn't say no to potentially watching that unfold, either. Shh.

Since Karla had no classes on Friday and she didn't have to be at the fair to set up yet, she decided to wander over to where the magical reserves would be meeting.

Re: Mingle/Arrive

Esme had no idea what a magical reserve was supposed to be, and she couldn't say she approved if it was what she thought it might be, but she was curious.

And there was tea and biscuits, so obviously someone knew how things were supposed to go and therefore it was off to a good start.

It was a good thing Eleanor had no classes today. Between this and the culture fair, it was stacking up to be a rather busy day!

Zack wasn't really magical, but he was all about being social, and he did have potions and Materia that let him do things not unlike magic, and so he figured he'd show up to see what was what, here. He even had his sword with him- though it was on its back, and he wasn't going to pull it out to use it unless people wanted a demonstration of how his materia worked, anyhow.

Also, there was that being social thing. Was that mentioned? Hey, people!

Jack had no idea what he was doing here; he was about as magical as a stone, and DCI Garrett's class had hardly done more than introduce magic's basics. But it was information, and he liked information. He hung on the fringes of the crowd, taking it all in.

This many sorcerers in one place made him the tiniest bit nervous.

Elspeth didn't consider her Gifts magic and didn't know about her Mage ability but she wanted to learn as much about magic as possible, especially about its use in battle.

Dor helped himself to the tea and cookies as he wandered around the gathering.

Ronan had seen the signs around, and it did seem like it might be something that he could help with.

He certainly couldn't hurt.

So he was there, and had grabbed a biscuit to nom, and, of course, a cup of tea.

Leda was actually sober today. That meant she was taking this seriously. "All right, let's get those commies." Her comments to the contrary not withstanding.

Re: Mingle/Arrive

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen wasn't at all certain about this, but well, what could it hurt, right?

Re: Mingle/Arrive

Agnes had her tall pointy hat on and firmly pinned to her head when she arrived, because that was, after all, what this gathering was about.

She took some tea and biscuits, and looked around.

Introductions

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Introduce yourselves! Name, home, and magical abilities.

Re: Introductions

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I suppose I could start," Merlin said, clearing his throat. "My name is Merlin for those I haven't met already. I'm from Camelot and... Well. I'm not entirely certain what my magic can do. I've always just done whatever was needed."

Re: Introductions

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Liir," he said after that, "from Oz. You've, er, probably had some of my baked goods. If not, well--"

He shrugged.

"I don't know what exactly my capabilities are in total, but at current I can make oranges and apples" rations! "fly on my broom" surveillance! "and, er, remind things of how they once were and return them to that state, though I'm still working on that."

There was, of course, the 'creepy deer trick' and or the 'drive my uncle crazier' maneuver, but there was no way in the depths of hell he was mentioning that.

He looked like he wanted to run screaming, but he just stepped back.

Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

When Tony and Merlin ping in here!

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was, clearly, there. And drinking his tea. Because we ignore that it's a complete anachronism and go with the canon. He certainly hoped this would all go well.

OOC

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

LOOK WHO OVERSLEPT.

Re: OOC

[thatsamilkshake]

Items to which Arthur and Merlin should have had LOLs over being introduced to: tea, tobacco, potatoes... *sighs and hugs the Beeb anyway*
