As it's becoming more than obvious that there are many forces in play here in Taravast, and since there are a goodly number of us who have taken advantage of the resources available for research here in the city I wondered if we shouldn't get together and talk about everything that's happened and what we've learned.

I know some of us tried this back at the farm with some success, and I believe it's worth trying again.

If you'd like to come to have some tea and compare notes - maybe see if there's some overlap that might be helpful, there's a tavern on the far end of the artist district called The Ruby's Arms. The owner, Annunziata (Nunzio if you're on good terms) is quite deaf and not all there, and his establishment is very quiet. We'll be able to use his back room with little trouble and I'm prepared to charm the space to prevent what we say from being overheard.

I'll be there about an hour before dusk this evening.

I'm here for it. Anything else we should bring?

[lancifolium]

I had hoped you would be! You ought to bring your list of important words, I've yet to copy it down and I'm sure others might want to as well.

[sergeant_slick]

Can do. I've also been taking notes on magic stuff from the library, trying to figure out a baseline for that too. It's all local dialect stuff, and I figure that should be useful.

I can go for an hour, then I'll need to leave for my ferrying shift.

[lancifolium]

Oh good! I'm sure you've been privy to a fair bit while studying with the healers and ferrying, and I can fill you in on what you missed later. Whenever it is I see you again.

not pictured: his dumbass grin

[bearshermark]

That sounds good. I'm sure we'll cross paths at some point.

okay what kind of knowledge exchange are we talking about here

because if it's politics and shit i would rather hang by my toes for an hour

[lancifolium]

Everything! We've got a wealth of knowledge between the lot of us on a variety of topics, why not see what there is to learn from each other?

And, as far as the magical arts goes, there's so many traditions represented in our number, I'd love to pick everyone's brain about their process, I'm sure you would too.

[foxable]

i am one hundred thousand percent down for magic shop talk

but i may crawl out a window if you guys start talking about other stuff

i'm real bad with the
talk
about things other than magic

[ Extremely eloquent, Fox... ]

Oh, tea! Tea would be lovely. And naturally I would be interested in sharing information. I gather there is a quite a lot going on here, what with the succession and all.

[lancifolium]

It's my pleasure to share it. There's a good deal going on, and I think a good number of us are walking around with pieces of the puzzle. It's about time we sit down and see what fits together where.

And hello! I don't know if I've seen your name pop up before, I'm Lily Evans.

[funnylittleclown]

I would be surprised if you had. I've only recently arrived. I'm the Doctor.

And I must say I do care for your approach. Sitting down and comparing notes over tea is far preferable to running about and being angry.

Tea?

Don't you have anything better, jiejie?

[Charmingly demanding. Or something.]

[lancifolium]

Certainly, but if I offer everyone candy that means there's less for you, and I would never do that to you Yangyang.

[beitangmoran]

Excellent! I have just acquired some... interesting tidbits. And there are a few more that I have had for a while but that didn't seem that important to share, but might be in the end.

And of course we might want to discuss some of what is about to befall this city. If the Doxe dies while we are still here, we shall be locked into doing something even if we do not wish to.

[lancifolium]

Ah, yours is a voice I hoped I'd hear. I'm eager to hear what you've got to share, and hopefully, with the lot of us, we'll be able to put something together.

And – that. And the matter of how Haltham was spotted on the trail to this city and hasn't been seen since. There's a lot we all should talk about.

Every place has a Hog's Head? Ha!

I appreciate being on the receiving end of this message, Lily. I would love to come as well, although I imagine I will have fewer notes than the lot of you. But maybe we can charm the space for privacy together?

[lancifolium]

Oh bloody hell are people still planning the next great thing in there in the future, or has everyone figured out how generously sized and surprisingly cozy the broom closet is?

Of course, we ought to stick together, you and I - don't you think? Another pair of astute eyes and a sharp mind is an asset.

You will teach your stick sorcery?


( He knows things now, thanks, Hermione. )

[reparo]

[do YOU yearn for stick magic?]

[lancifolium]

Wand. And yes, if you would like to try to learn, I would be happy to teach you.

Will you teach me about your guqin?

[chosenfordarkness]

I don't really have much to contribute, but I'd like to be there for a briefing.

[lancifolium]

Another name I've never seen before - hello I'm Lily.

Please do come round, I'm certain everyone could stand to benefit from talking, things have been far too alarming not to put our heads together and try.

[valeas]

( did someone say study group? emilia's never been to one, but the thought of being able to pick at everyone else's brains and gather notes for her own research is appealing. and there are other things she'd like to discuss with lily, besides. )

Count me among those who wish to attend.

[lancifolium]

That's wonderful to hear, I can't wait to see you. You'll have to meet Hermione, she's a witch from the same place I am, though apparently in the future.
