Friday Night Magical Meet and Greet
Who: Galen and Open
Where: The Welcome Center cafeteria
When: Friday evening
What: Galen has invited magic users and interested others
           over for pizza and beer.
Rating: Probably PG for language if nothing else
Status: Incomplete/Open

He'd had pizza delivered and placed stasis spells on the boxes so it would remain hot and fresh. There were two small kegs of beer iced down in washtubs - one American and one dark ale - and plenty of plastic cups, paper plates, and napkins.

As the appointed time approached, he got a cup of the ale and took a seat near the front of the room to wait and see who would actually show up. If nothing else, he supposed there would be plenty of pizza and beer left over for for breakfast in the morning.

	Susan nodded. "I'm not much given to performancr magic myself." She shrugged. "Well, yes, maybe the occasional fireworks for the children on Hogswatch - similar to Christmas here." "I know how a guild works where I come from. How do you envision setting up something here"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Did he just...? What the hell?! No one was allowed to look at Jadis's 'energy levels' without permission. Not unless they wanted to become the newest sculpture in the main hallway of her penthouse. She seethed inwardly but maintained the calmest, icy cool exterior.

"Assistance, of course," she said, lifting one shoulder in an elegant shrug. Personally, she didn't give a fuck about anyone else if they weren't going to be useful to her. "I suppose it would be nice to have a venue where people could learn freely, other types of magic, if they so desired. But not everyone does and some would prefer to keep to themselves. We cannot deny them that right."

She didn't envision much getting accomplished tonight but her expectations were mediocre at best, so it would not be too much of a let down.

"Of course, if you wanted to make this a weekly meeting then that might help. You have to start somewhere."

Zatanna's annoyance at being scanned wasn't so much inward as it was perfectly obvious in a glare cut in Galen's direction. Because that was not something she was alright with. Jadis was certainly right about one thing, she was absolutely not looking to show off how powerful she was right at this very moment.

"I'm a performer, because I like to eat and I like to do it legally," she elaborated for Susan's benefit. Her eyes were still narrowed in Galen's direction. "And I tend to ask before I start peeking behind other magician's curtains. We don't give away our secrets, and all that. Kind of a core rule."

With that warning Zee could allow her ruffled feathers to settle just a bit. "But she's right, a weekly meeting wouldn't hurt. Especially since, well," she gestured subtly to the red haired girl on the other side of the room. "It's apparent that some of them are going to be young. Makes me want to keep tabs on them even more." She'd had enough mishaps with her wayward cousin Zachary to know that young magicians needed watching.

Galen bowed slightly to the other three. "Sorry. I do energy and matter. Its almost a reflex after all these years. No offense was intended. Feel free to do the same to me if you wish."

He listened to what Zatanna had to say. "What if I were to look into purchasing a building? With a storefront or something like that on the ground floor and some apartments above?" And a large flat roof where he could park his ship, cloaked. "Someplace to hold meetings and do a little training, and rent the upstairs at suitably deflated prices to the younger ones or those in need?"

Susan sniffed. "It wouldn't have bothered me if you'd asked first. I think something like this would only work if everyone maintains a rather high degree of formal politeness. I say let it pass this time."

She looked back and forth at the other three. "To be honest, I don't care if anyone observes the magic I use, and will happily teach anyone who wants to try to learn what I do. I don't think much of it is teachable because I inherited it from my grandfather, but I'm willing to try."

"Be that as it may, I do like the idea of a guild hall of sorts, and regular meetings." Susan nodded toward Lily. "And some sort of support for the younger people. The ones that are taking their transition to this place harder than others. I don't have much in the way of funds to contribute right now, but would be willing to devote some time."
