[Everyone is sent a link to this - it's web page style, more static than the regular network posts]

In the village of Privkat, before the dark times, the elders would teach the young people about magic. They learned how to shape it, and how to use it. By the time I arrived there, the practice had stopped. The magic we learnt was in secret, and was limited, and then there was none at all. I missed this part of learning. I see that there are many here with many types of magic.

This is what I propose. Once every seven days, on your Sunday for felicity, at [big open space on the station] we will gather and at least one among our number will tell the others about their magic. We will sit in a great circle and listen, as we would in Privkat.

Who is willing to take a turn? You do not have to be an elder, and it does not matter if nobody else here has the same talents that you do. You can demonstrate something practical and teach it to others who can learn, or you can tell us about the origins of your magic and how it works, or tell us about the history of your people and what magic has meant to them.

Everyone is welcome to join us and to listen, so long as they are respectful of others.

If you would like to speak more than once, and teach us different things, you can. If you would like a regular time to teach, you can have that. If you are interested, please tell me your name and each topic you would like to share with us, and I will organise the meetings accordingly.

by the hand of Katarin Tavehi, aboard the Star Station

There are others with powers here?

I am Bruno Madrigal. My 'topic' is prophecy. I do not think what I can do is teachable, but I can talk about my family and our blessings. I maybe can demonstrate, as long as no one will be all 'Bruno is creepy and makes bad things happen'.

There are many, with all sorts of powers! It is good to hear from you, Bruno. I am Katarin Miri Tavehi tal-Kordala, but you must call me Katarin. It would be wonderful to have you tell us about your family and your prophecies, and to demonstrate if you like. Nobody will react to you that way. Those with magic will understand that the prophet does not cause the prophecy.

I will love to hear about them, this is so exciting. What a good idea to get together.

It is lovely to meet you, Katarin, and I really appreciate you saying that. Your understanding is so refreshing.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you, and I'm so pleased that you have already found someone with talents like your own. I hope that this will be very good for all of us!

You got that too? I hated it in High School. "Don't go near Dan, he'll say weird shit and freak you out."

Oh, yes, pretty much the whole village thinks I'm a freak! My own family, too, which is rich...
You have visions, too? I've never known anyone else who did.

This is incredible. As with all my family, my gift was revealed when I turned 5.

Are there others who can see?

What sort of gifts did the rest of your family get?

Here? Yeah, my niece, Abra. And I think maybe some of Ben's friends as well, but you'd need to ask them.

One sister controls the weather with her mood, the other has healing powers.

My nieces and nephews - shapeshifter, super hearing, super strength, growing plant life, and the youngest, communicates with animals.

Sounds like you have a uniquely gifted family as well.

Very impressive!

I do. We Shine. My dad, too.

What you mean by Shine?

I was taught that my family's gift was called the Shining. If you have it, you Shine.

Ah, interesting. Well, I look forward to hearing more about it and your family if you do come along.

I think I will, yeah.

Katarin, put me down for one of the sessions, please. I'll talk about my Shine.

Hi. I'm Abra, like Abracadabra. My real name's Abra Stone and I'm Dan's niece. I'll join in with Dan.

No one's going to say stuff like that here. A lot of us have some kind of magic and we're all cool with it.

Thank you. I hope you are right, and that I can be of some use here.
