[ Not much to say about setting here; Evangeline is in a study of some sort, trying to look vaguely professional... though more out of videoconferencing habit than anything else, since the sour look on her face is ruining it. ]

I'm honestly incredulous no one else has put themselves out here on this subject and saved me the trouble of opening myself to the responses of the hordes of simpletons who will probably decide this concerns them.

But in case any of you have an honest interest in this kind of thing I'll lay out a short case. Most everything here, convenient or dangerous, runs on magic. Many of us can use magic but aren't familiar with its workings here, or the possibilities cooperation may open.

And the rest may at least be able to use it from time to time as their transformation dictates.

So. Those of us who are interested in furthering their magical abilities, either within their own paradigm or by understanding how to wield it more effectively here, stand to benefit from an association, whether it's for serious attempts at syncretism or just to use each other as sounding boards. Call it a guild, department, tower, cult, conspiracy, coven, whatever you want; mages love their pomp and their bureaucracy where I'm from, I'm sure some of you know how it goes. Speaking of which I'd like to keep things more informal, but in the interest of not having to take responsibility for any collegial fraticides or lab accidents or inventive crimes against humanity there will probably be some rules if this attracts more interest than your average knitting circle. There will be time for that later, though, at this point this is just me assessing interest.

Oh, and if anyone has a sufficiently relaxed relationship with the ephermerality of all form to be interested in hosting, now's your chance to get that insurance fraud scheme off the ground.

I'd say I look forward to your responses, but that would be a lie. Just try not to make me regret posting.

[ Why did she post this in such a terrible mood? Who knows. At any rate she just stares at the screen for a few seconds like she's already regretting this before she ends the video. ]

Any takers?

[trivialization]

Yes. Though so far not more than you could gather in someone's living room.

[necroyalty]

I do have a small amount of interest in the matter, although I'll admit that recent events have distracted me just a little. Still, perhaps having more people to discuss matters of the arcane with will help.

It's still amazing how many people never seem to get used to how this place works.

[trivialization]

I'm happily ignorant on that front. My acquaintances adapted well, if nothing else.

[necroyalty]

How fortuitous.

I don't have anyone from my own world here, although I still contend that my daughter would have loved this place.

[trivialization]

I can understand the feeling. Considering their circumstances the prismals are unexpectedly spirited, and gracious hosts. [ Though Eva, predictably, finds the gaudiness of the place irritating. ]

In any case your specialty is very rare, where I'm from. It would be personally interesting to me if you joined us. Or even just me, if that's all that comes of it.

[necroyalty]

It was certainly more than a little jarring to know that the taboo exists across worlds.

Necromancy is not an uncommon thing in Vanth, although our practice of it has more than a few rules one must follow.

[trivialization]

It's not only the taboo. The magic is difficult, and more than that the attunement is rare. A really talented necromancer is something you see once in a century.

[necroyalty]

...intriguing.

I'm going to assume that on several levels, the process is quite different than what I'm used to.

[trivialization]

Presently I'm assuming that as well. Discovering if there are any connections or commonalities is one of my reasons to form this group.
