AM I SETTING A WORLD RECORD FOR LATENESS YET [OPEN]

[megamagicpower]

Who: Lemina Ausa, other members of the New Magic Guild of Vane, open to pretty much anyone who was here at the time and wants to drop in. Assume the information was forwarded to your Guide.
What: The first actual meeting of the Guild. Potluck style because Lemina's too cheap to cater, so bring food.
When: Backdated to... several... weekends ago

Part I: Eating and Mingling

[megamagicpower]

[Once everything was set up, Lemina grabbed herself a plate, served herself some salad, and took her seat at the head of the middle table. Once everyone was here and they all had a bite to eat, they could get down to business.]

[Patchouli had decided it would be a good idea to show up for this, despite her friend's current situation. She wasn't much of a cook, so all she really brought were some store-bought cheese and crackers and a pot of tea. Small pot of tea, but it never seemed to run out. Magic!]

[Either way, once she got food, she was off to sit in some corner somewhere. After all, she wasn't here for the socializing; she was here for the meeting. For business. Once the actual meeting started she'd opt for a closer seat, but now? Nope.]

[Obviously this means people should bother her.]

[Magic, is there nothing it can't do? Clearly once the Guild is on its feet, they should start pulling in funds by dominating the housewares market.]

[Lemina took notice when Patchouli arrived, and after a moment of debating, she abandons her seat. The plate of half-finished salad still left there should be enough to tell everyone the seat is occupied, right?]

[And heads over to bother her teacher.]

Miss Knowledge! You made it!

[Aaahhh nooo social contact it burrrnnnssss]

[Patchy looks up, a bit startled that someone actually went out of their way to bother her.]

It was not in my interests to miss something like this.

Part II: The Actual Meeting

[megamagicpower]

[Everyone had settled in, and so Lemina stood up from her seat.]

As Premier of the New Magic Guild, I am calling our first meeting to order! And for the first order of business...

[She cleared off a part of the table before her, then produced a large, rolled-up piece of paper. This was spread on the table for all the Guild members to see: A blueprint, made with painstaking care, of a large building in a style reminiscent of something European.]

Recently, due to an extremely generous donation to the Guild, we have acquired the funds necessary to construct a Guildhall! I've drawn up a rough approximation of the Guild as it was on Lunar for all of you to review.

However, there's portions of it that I think we can take out of the design, and replace with something more useful... for example, I'm mega-sure we don't really need a dungeon with prison cells anymore. And I think we'll have to combine the library into the Guildhouse itself, instead of housing it in a separate building. I was also thinking about expanding it to include

[peering at the plans]

The prison cell area can be converted into, like, cages for dangerous magical creatures that are being studied.

[megamagicpower]

Not a bad idea! We might need to rearrange things a bit, though -- this stairwell should lead to the research labs, not to the hallway...

[She starts marking some notes. These plans were made to be drawn all over.]

If we're going to be studying living beings, we'll need to lay down some regulation from the start. Just so we don't start dabbling in forbidden magics and give birth to a second Vile Tribe...

...Vile Tribe?
