Hey, just a note to all witches, wizards, spellcasters, and magic users. I've already talked to a couple of you about this, but now I'm going to make it official- I'm starting up a magic group. The idea of the group is simple- anybody who wants to can come and talk about- and learn about- magic, and hopefully we can even get some sort of magically-oriented projects underway. So if you're a magic user and feel like sharing, or even if you're not and you're just curious, let me know what a good time is and how many people are interested. I'll try to set us up with a good meeting place.

[Action]

After I sent out the message over the journals, I headed out to the library and pulled out a whole mess of magic books, then went to Good Spirits to go over them. Most of it was crap, but who knows what kinds of decent magical information and rituals from other worlds might turn up in here?

Soon as I saw Molly heading over, I started clearing books and notes from a chair for her.

"Hey. It's actually going pretty good, I have a nice little list of names."

I gestured with the list, partly to demonstrate and partly because I didn't have any good place to set it- as it was, there was barely enough of a clear space for Molly to set her drink.

"So far, all I've got is that it should be on a Saturday. Leaves the rest of the planning up to me, I guess."

[That's right, you'd better clear a spot. As it was, her hands were nearly twitching to make some sense out of this in-no-way-organized chaos. She hated to think of the state of his Luceti apartment without the You Know Whats keeping house.]

Don't make it around a mealtime. [She said as she moved to sit down.] Or we'll have to provide food.

[Carrot and celery sticks with hummus, anyone?]

Kid had a point. More horrifyingly, if we did wind up providing food, she'd just invited herself into the meal planning. That meant, at best, soy not-burgers and brussel sprout salad with wheat germ, and at worst...

At worst, she would actually cook.

"Good point, definitely. But I was thinking some time in the early afternoon, a little after lunch- give everybody a chance to wake up and smell the..."

Well, hell.

"Have you even seen any flowers in the village?"

Molly gave him a strange look. "There are plenty in the flower shop."

"Nevermind, it was a dumb joke."

I tried to sort some of the mess of papers that had made their way across the table into piles, found that the mess of books underneath them made it difficult to stack them, and started stacking them in my lap instead.

"So, did you ever poke around the Filial magic thing at all?"

Molly tilted her head slightly to the side. She wasn't quite sure how to take that question. "Yes, but I've just been talking with them. No agreements yet."

"Ah, good."

At the confused expression, I added, "a lot of the people who responded said they wanted to talk about Filial magic, so I thought it would be good if one of us knew a little about it going in."

Just because they creeped me right the hell out, didn't mean I was gonna try and exclude their magic from the conversation. I'm an egalitarian at heart, really.

Molly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "The people who responded probably know a lot more about it than me."

"Yeah, I just need somebody who speaks my particular dialect of ignorance who I can pester for details if I have to- not that I think I will. Just in case, kinda."

"Are you trying to make sure I'll show up to your meeting, boss?"

Because he really shouldn't have to worry about that.

"Huh? I wasn't, until you said that."

I chuckled.

"No, honestly, I just didn't want to have to work with the Filial magic too much. It gives me the creeps, you seem alright with it, so I figure you're better for it. At least one of us shouldn't be clueless, basically."

She frowned a little, a note of concern in her eyes, "Have you even spoken to one of the spirits?"

"Not yet."

Which wasn't quite a lie. Just because I didn't plan to in the future, doesn't mean the qualifier was inappropriate.

Look, they freaked me out, okay?
