[ 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. ]

[ She sighs and gives the knife-bat of... doom or whatever... a little flick, which is sufficient to bury it in the opposite wall whether Giovanni lets go of it or not. Then she plops down on the nearest piece of furniture, lounging indolently like she owns the place, and continues in a flat voice. ]
Well. Might as well finish while I'm here. I'm the greatest evil ever. That's what I was saying. Places I haven't been in five hundred years they still tell their kids I'll eat them if they don't behave. But that begs the question of what I'm doing here, doesn't it?
[ ...regretting that once again her ego has caused her to run her mouth and put herself in a position where she can really only lose, mostly. ]

[ But there it goes, flipping out of his hands to stick in the wall behind him. Man! He just moved here and already he's getting knife holes in his walls. Oh well, nothing a cool poster won't cover up.
He could try to dislodge it, but instead he finds himself listening to what Eva has to say for herself, and... ]
Oh. That actually sounds... pretty rough.
[ Giovanni plunks his lanky self down in an armchair opposite her. ]
Wanna talk about it?
no subject
[ She just hates sympathy so much. ]
Except maybe your career choices. What does a self-proclaimed villain even do?
[...obviously it's different when she titles herself. ]
no subject
[ Giovanni Potage, discount therapist. ]
And villains steal stuff, obviously! Geez, you'd think the "greatest evil ever" would know that. Want to see a magic necklace I stole from a museum?
[ He's already digging around in his pockets. ]
no subject
[ But, well, she's waiting for him to take it out, at least. ]
no subject
[ "This" is a... well, it's a necklace. Is it in fact a magic necklace? Jury's out. ]
It can steal epithets! So if I touch you with this thing, your powers are going down, lady! Don't worry, I don't think it hurts or anything. Pretty sure. If it does, I'm sorry!
[ Now, how to get it through the force field... ]
