The familiar pull of leaving Astral Travel leaves you feeling drained.

You're back to your place in the Magic Circle, Pythianne in front of you holding your hands, and Magister Lyssa hovering by the side.

"Well? How'd it-" Before she can finish her sentence, there's a knocking on the door, and it swings open.

The Archmagister strides in, bounce in his step. For once he doesn't appear to have anything strange about him.

He smiles at you... but says nothing. Pythianne squeals in excitement and begins gushing about the 'incredible success'.

You glance at the Magisters. Pythianne is babbling on about how wonderful and exciting the trip was, and Lyssa looks faintly surprised. Jasper is... Jasper is unreadable. He's smiling softly at ever-... no, it's just you. He's smiling softly at you. You can't tell what he's thinking though... It's starting to scare you a little actually. You feel like he knows something you don't which is true, he probably does, but in the sense that what he knows directly affects you. And probably not in the good way.

"Hello sir." You greet him quietly, bowing your head a little in deference. His smile twitches a little. "Hello, McTerrorcastle."

Pythianne is still going on about the ramifications of your actions - something about revolutionary, and groundbreaking. Lyssa seems to be tuning her out, nodding at appropriate times - you get the feeling she's used to this kind of thing.

This

>>26703987
Why is everyone so happy so just summon an entity we will have no control over? It could just be the worst idea ever.

>>26704014
We have no control over it? We told it to grow legs and it grew legs. It's a synthesis of lost memories and our will.

Obby may not be bound, but I trust him more than Bowie.

Reposting crazy theory - If someone has more knowledge of Tarot cards, mind helping out?

1.The Entropic realm houses memories of past - AND FUTURE. Denizins are major Arcana of the Tarot deck

i. The Hermit(Vizier?) - On Pythainne's first visit she met a man with much knowledge of poems and books
-The Hermit (IX) Stands alone on a mountain with a lantern
-Symbolized acheivement and growth
-Has reached higher awareness
-Impact: Pythainne learned? No other data.

ii. The Hanged man - On Our (Hairy McTerrorcastle's) first journey, we met a man hanging by his foot from a tree
-The Hanged Man(XII) Is a man hanging by his ankle from a living tree
-Symbolizes letting go, patience, inner harmony
-Impact: We let go and danced, harmonized so we could come back the the entropic realm

iii. The Moon - On our trip together with Pythainne, we reached up and poked the moon, to find it a humanoid being.
-The Moon(XVII) Is a moon hanging in the sky between two great pillars, appears to be shedding into the water, a domesticated dog and a wolf howl at it
-Symbolizes Fantasy, physchological conflict, Imagination, Illusion, Anxiety, Romanticism
-Impact: We appear to have confessed our love for our teacher. See above symbolism.

iiii. The Sandman - Found by the original plane explorer. No theories on this guy yet.

v. The Gnarled man - Jasper meets him in the memories we are given. Still trying to figure this guy out. Gnarled?

You can't get a read on him. He seems cheerful, but you can tell something's going on behind his face. You're starting to become aware that there has always been something going on behind his face now that you think about it - behind all his eccentricity. He's not the Archmagister for nothing.

"You seem very cheerful Archmagister." You say to him quietly, whilst Pythianne goes on and on in the background. He smiles a little wider. "I am." Is all he says in response. Okay, yeah, you're getting a little worried.

"Would you like to meet my new friend?" His smile twitches. "I'm afraid that will have to wait. Pythianne should be running out of breath in... three... two..." On cue, she pauses, taking a deep breath.

"Pythia, I do believe that's enough." He says calmly, voice cutting through the air with a sharpness that belies it's softness.

"Firstly, I do believe congratulations are in order - well done, McTerrorcastle, and a good show by you too Pythianne, Lyssa. But I'm afraid I have to spirit our dear student away for a small talk over tea." He holds his hand out to you. "Don't worry, it's not bad." He smiles at you again.

Pythianne seems a little perplexed, and Lyssa just seems curious.

>Take his hand?

You take his hand. The warping sensation you felt before wreaks through you, and you find yourself deposited in a soft, plush arm chair, in front of a small table.

A pair of teacups hover a few inches above the table, a floating teapot pouring in steaming tea.

"Would you like some sugar with yours? Cream?" He holds his hands out to... do something?

Pointing a finger at his own cup... a small jet of milk begins streaming out at a gradual pace, pouring into his tea. Huh.

>>26704280
No milk or sugar. We drink tea the way it was meant to be drunk.

>>26704280
"Nah I'm good"

On a side note, I saw something interesting while rereading the last thread. When we saw Luna's memories, when he meet Pythaine, instead of refering to her as 'it' as he did us and Jasper, he referered to her as 'Creature of false life and undeath'.

>>26704351
>>26704317
>>26704349

Your tempted to summon your own milk... but you have no idea how to begin with that. "I'll take mine as is." He nods at you.

A pair of sugar cubes appear from... the teapot. They flop out of it's spout, landing in his cup with nary a splash. He twirls his finger lightly, and the tea in both cups begin to stir.

"McTerrorcastle, do you know why the Fifth Circle Academy was founded?" He raises his cup to his lips, taking a sip as he speaks. "Ahhh... Lavender."

>Actions?

Take a sip of ours.

I'd heard it was to ensure those with Magical Potential were properly trained and set on the right path?

>>26704422
No, but i have a feeling that you might.

>>26704422
"I assume it was to give young mages like me a chance to learn in a more safe and controlled enviroment, no?"

>>26704470
>>26704446

"... Mask guy?" He raises an eyebrow at you. "Er, nevermind. Just reminded me of someone."

You raise your cup to your lips and sip it. Lavender? This isn't lavender. It's... more rosemary. Kind of like your mother used to make before you left home.

"Isn't it to ensure those with magical potential were properly trained in a safe and controlled environment?" He nods.

"Basically, yes. The Academy was founded during the War of the Wizards era, and it's goal was to give those with magical potential the opportunity to learn without being beholden to older Wizards. Many of the Magi of the time took apprentices, but many of them were not interested in the idea of training those who would one day surpass them." He takes another deep drink of his tea.

"The Academy's purpose has always been to protect the Students. From themselves, from other Wizards, from any source that might do them harm."

You sip your own tea. Definitely rosemary. "... Am I in danger then, Archmagister?"

He laughs lightly. "Heavens, McTerrorcastle. We're all in danger."

"From what? Or who?" He sips his tea again. He places the empty cup down, and the teapot begins to fill itself again.

"McTerrorcastle, how much damage do you think one of the Magisters could do if they decided to? If, say, Magister Gareth, Ranafiel or Pythianne decided they wanted to destroy everything?" He's giving you a serious look now.

"Do you think the Empire could stop them? How many lives do you think would be lost if Magister Alaine or Vann turned their talents to war?"

He doesn't wait for answer. "The answer is innumerable. The Empire likely could not recover - do not get the wrong idea, the Empire could and would put a stop to their rampage... except maybe Ranafiel." He refills his teacup. "I don't even know if I could stop Ranafiel... but that's beside the point. The point is when a Mage reaches the level of power common amongst the Magisters... they're no longer something that can be stopped."

He sips his refilled tea. "Do you know what is the most common cause of deaths, amongst Magi in this age?"

You don't like where this is going.

This is my vote for the action. Worried look.

I daresay it's time to let him know there's a magister running a secret society. Voting to tell him about the sekret clahb we just joined.

he just asked us about the fifth circle. he probably knows that we joined it.

>>26704741
Voting against. He obviously knows.

>>26704696
Well quite obviously we are the main reason for magister death.

What we actually do is ask "what?"

On another note we gotta practice that force magic.

>>26704696
Doeasn't the Empire employ Royal Mages as part of their military that are on par in power with the teachers at the academy?

Well, I'm hoping it's not summary execution.

And this is why we should never have joined your secret little shitty club.

>>26704806
You seriously can't imagine how knowing the future would be bloody useful in a war? I can't imagine anything more powerful than knowing exactly how to use my limited forces in the best possible way to achieve victory.

Does transmutation fall under alchemy?

>>26704726
>>26704728

You're face is very worried now. "... Lust for power? Other magi?"

He lets his teacup hover in the air in front of him. "The former is part of the reason, but officially, the most common cause of death amongst Magi who leave the Academy is 'Magical accident'." He makes air quotations at this. "Mistakes are always made, and sometimes when you're dealing with magic, mistakes are fatal. From official statistics, one could say that the safest place to practice and learn Magic is the Academy."

"... But that's not true." You murmur, staring at him. You're getting an idea of where this is going.

"Oh, it is true. You'll be safest here. Well, YOU will. Some of the other students will never encounter a 'magical accident'. They lack the potential." He drains his tea again.

"I'm going to be blunt, McTerrorcastle. You're on a fast track to being put on the Empire's hit list. Mages are like trees. As students, we're weak. Once grown, we are almost infallible. The Empire does not want Magic to continue. They believe it's too risky - it takes one, just one rogue Mage, and thousands can die. The only reason most of the Magisters are still alive is because they couldn't get rid of us if they tried." He leans back in his chair.

"You? Not so much. Vann told me what would happen if you went into the Experiment. But you have two choices. Publish your results... or keep it under wraps." You swallow a little.

"If you publish, you'll get fame and fortune... and attention. The Empire will see you as something to deal with. If you don't... well, they'll probably see you as something to deal with at some point in your life."

You sip your tea. You didn't ask for this.

"You don't have to decide now. I'm sure you have other questions you want to ask."

I suggest we keep it secret, keep it safe.

"I am Hairy McTerrorcastle, and I hide from no one."

>>26704903
Well lucky us, there's nothing we really want from the publishing itself, we just want to get better at summoning.

Ask him the best way to pursue our studies while keeping a low profile.

>>26704903
can't I just file a paper with a 50-60 year moratorium so it doesn't come out for a few years? yet I still get credit for the discovery?

"... Doesn't the Empire have Royal Mages? I read about a Court Mage once..." Jasper snorts.

"You think the Empire would trust a powerful Mage to be kept close to them? They might have powerful Healers, maybe Diviners but never a Mage actually capable of truly fighting."

"Well, how do I study without drawing attention to myself?" He pauses, and shrugs.

"Keep your head down, and try not to do anything huge. Like going into the Entropic Plane and learning how to summon one of it's Aspects." He gives you an amused stare. "Did you still want me to meet him? He sounds nice."

"You've actually met him before, Archmagister. He remembered your visit. If you're interested in seeing him I could summon him now. Officially, though, it's a terrible shame that the experiment didn't produce any results."

>>26705024
Sure, let's introduce him. What's the worst that could happen?

>>26705024
"Is the school, I dunno, protected from the 'maybe Diviners'? I'd prefer not being paranoid about that."

>>26705024
Actually, why don't we get Pythianne to publish it.

She's probably powerful enough to not be messed with, and when the 'empire' eventually find out it was us, we should be pretty powerful.

>>26704957
Why care about credit? The important thing is magical power, not academic street cred.

"Can't I just file it with a moratorium? Like, 50-60 years later and still get credit?" Jasper blinks. He chuckles. "Sure, if you want. It's your paper. I'm just telling you what will happen if you file it now."

You nod, standing up to prepare your summoning. "You've met him before, Archmagister. He remembered your visit." The Archmagister laughs, smiling at you. He goes to say something then pauses.

"Yes and no, really. I guess you could say I did meet him and I didn't..." He chuckles at you. "I'll show you. You summon and I'll summon."

You blink, and begin the Summoning spell in sync with the Archmagister. His version is very similar...

Black sand begins to whip around you, slowly forming a solid shape in front of you. By the Magister, dust and... paper scraps whirl about, slowly condensing into a physical shape.

Soon, Oblitus Luna is standing by you and... the Librarian?

They stare at each other silently. Oblitus cocks his head to the side and glances at you. "... You remembered me."

"Well! Isn't he a pretty boy then? Love the style." Jasper laughs, still standing by the Librarian, who just gives you a vacant wide-eyed stare.

I'm enjoying that little romance subplot, lets add this in somewhere when talking to him.

Once we're too fucking big to even think about touching, we start throwing it in the Empire's face.

>>26704035

Rather, I think all of these creatures are the same being that have taken on different forms to passing travelers. This is based on the fact that the one being we met had memories of all the recorded journeys to the entropic plane that we've read or heard about.

>>26705178
>>26705152
Pythianne's worth wooing, but our confession was ill timed and poorly handled. We could definitely play it cool for a few months... or years.

>>26705241
That's what I meant by it. I don't mind going for Pythia, but this constant dogging on the subject is fucking grating.

>>26705217
Well since you summoned him to run the library. Maybe you could tell us where the study rooms are? All he says is left, bloody confusing instructions.

And to Obby of course we didn't forget you! How could we?

>>26705217
Oh wow. That explains so much.

(pause for a second)

I suppose it wouldn't really be my paper anyway, would it.

>>26705263
Personally I want to get back to finding a nice Succubus companion for lewd humor potential

>>26705217
Whelp. We're not the first to figure it out, huh. Ask him to explain how he figured it out and if he has any notes he's willing to share if we promise to keep them on the down low.

>>26705217
Shit. This means we abandoned the Hanged Man. I guess this means we should visit him sometime

>>26705343
Weren't you paying attention last thread? Obby IS/WAS the Hanged Man. And the Sandman. And, very possibly, the entirety of the Entropic Plane. Or just a fraction of it. I dunno. It's magic.

>>26705217

Ah, I guess we've confirmed that there is in fact more than one being in the entropic plane.

>>26705343

On that note, I say we make the entropic plane our specialty. The raw power of imagination and the death of all things is at our fingertips. Why waste time dribbling with demons when we can master the true physical reality of the universe?

Not that we have to abandon demons altogether. Bowie is still a bro, and a potentially useful bro.

>>26705343
Sounds like a plan for the next time we visit the Entropic plane.

OH, ARCHMAGISTER. We need to ask Jasper if it's cool if we trade some human names for names of demons with Haztoraxifeliv.

>>26705383
No, the Archmagister just proved that false by summoning the librarian at the same time as Orbi

>>26705398
>>26705383
>>26705343

It's weird. We manifested something that seems to be multiple things.

Why don't we ask the Archmagister about these observations? He probably knows something or other about it.

>>26705398
>Why waste time dribbling with demons when we can master the true physical reality of the universe?
Because conventional magical combat has just been strongly hinted to be important to the PLOT. Dat empire's gonna come down but not without a fight. Luna's cool, but in a fight, who knows? Especially in our plane.

I wish there was something we could summon that would stay invisible and follow us around, watching our back. Not Haztoraxifeliv, but someone we can summon easily for longer periods of time.

>>26705416
Hell no he didn't, he summoned another part of Orbi.

Or he summoned another Orbi.

Or they are a hivemind.

OR they simply share each others memories and think of them as their own, they seemed pretty good at showing memories to us after all.

Lets ask him.

Anyways, from what he has just told us, it would seem like that dark brotherhood thing is actually a REALLY FUCKING GOOD IDEA.

Awesome place to experiment without getting put on a hit list.

"Oh wow. That explains so much." You say, staring at the Librarian. That's why he's so weird and... magical.

"Hey, since you summoned him to run the Library, could you tell us where the study rooms are? All he says is left."

Jasper glances at the Librarian and starts laughing. Once he finishes, he wipes a tear away from his eye. "Well, nobody knows. I've tried asking Timateus here," He slaps the Librarian on the back who doesn't react, "And all he says is 'Left' as you've noted. After some exploring, my only conclusion is that the study rooms have left. Completely."

"... I don't suppose you could explain what this is?"

Jasper sits back down, the Librarian standing still. "You can go now, Timateus. I'm sure you have more books to sort." The Librarian vanishes before your eyes, silently. Oblitus lurks at your side, shifting slightly.

"If I'm perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure. Seeing as you've ah, bonded with one, I can assume you are aware of the nature of the Entropic Plane?" You nod.

"Well, er, Oblitus here and Timateus, the Librarian are... I suppose you could them Aspects. It's what I call them anyway." He studies Luna carefully. "This is mostly conjecture, seeing as getting a straight word out of Timateus is impossible, but they represent 'Forgotten Things'. Timateus, for example, embodies... 'Forgotten Lore'." He studies Luna a bit closely. The entity just inches away slightly, a tad uneasy.

"I have no idea what your friend might embody. It's likely something that you yourself possess a strong connection to. They only really bond with people that share a connection to their Aspect, I think. I run an Academy - it's always been my goal. I love knowledge!" He giggles.

"So, McTerrorcastle... do you mind if I call you Castle? Such a mouthful. What Oblitus Luna embodies is likely what you yourself embody most."

Well, the only thing we've really done, other than relentlessly study is make friends.

I mean, sure, the only reason we went into summoning in the first place is titty-sensei and the desire to summon earth-shattering demonic monstrosities to take over the world...but, when we summoned our first imp we just..made friends with it.

We're friendship. The most powerful aspect of all.

>We're friendship. The most powerful aspect of all.

>>26705628
A million times this.

>>26705656
We like breasts, but we don't EMBODY the nature of breasts. No, thats Pythianne

>>26705663
We're like an anti-villain who's tsundere for Good. There needs to be more characters like this in media.

>>26705681
Dude, have you ever watched anime before? Friendship is essentially raw energy that can be transformed into any form imaginable. Even laser beams.

Especially laser beams.

Everyone, consult the Arcana.
The moon is to represent the shadow of one's self, and one's fear of the future and the present, as well as a variety of other things.

What are tech levels like for the common people in this setting?

>>26705638
>>26705628
>>26705572

You sling an arm over Oblitus's shoulder. He's a little shorter then you, and a tad thinner. He gives you a curious look with his one eye. "Good news Obby! That means your best thing ever!" The Archmagister laughs as Oblitus gives you a confused stare. "... Oh..." Is all it says, quietly.

"Now, I'm sure Pythianne is getting worried that I'm eating you or something." He gives you a warm smile, and gets up again. "You'll have to excuse me though - I need to put on my bunny ears for my run with Ranafiel."

He ushers you out of his office, and closes the door behind you.

>Return to Pythianne?

>>26705728
Mostly medieval, nearing the discovery of gunpowder.

>>26705628

This and then after:

"You know, magister...I like magic and knowledge too. And I don't like being assassinated by empires. Sounds painful. You're obviously invested in the academy, and don't want magic to just go poof...so, can I take those together and assume that you'd be alright if there were more powerful mages around supporting the school?"

Let's get permission to be a badass from the top.

>>26705731
return to the tits

>>26705731
Hell yeah, need to talk with Pythianna about our awesome new buddy!

>>26705710
Exactly: Friendship is like Magic.

>>26705731
Yes.

Also make sure the Archmagister doesn't forget the fluffy tail or he won't be able to reach max speed.

>>26705731
Yea, sure.

Is Obby human looking enough for him to just be around like the Librarian is?

>>26705739
Well shit, I was thinking 1920s levels of tech. I'm not that guy though.

>Action
Yeah lets check in with Pythianne, compare notes on our experience.

>>26705763
He's wrapped up in cloth, but otherwise looks human. At least, he has a human shape. You don't know what he looks like under the cloth... if the cloth can even come off.

>>26705731
Poor Obbie. Let's head back to Pythianne.

Also, >>26705739 who needs force magic when you can fill their brain with lead from 500 paces?

>>26705731
>>26705746

>closes the door behind you.

Dammit. Oh well, let's head back. We'll have to see if Jaqul and that slightly annoying faggot that studies general magic got up to any shenanigans. And maybe Ariane brewed up some weed, yo.

>>26705762
This, a bunny can't run fast without his tail to balance him

>>26705715
If it's Arcana based, we're obviously the Fool. The zero-sum. The third option. Both the lowest and the highest.

>>26705774
So, he looks like the Kishin Asura? We good then.

>>26705791
>The zero-sum.
Let's not, CHiM just isn't worth it. I don't think Vehk really enjoyed divinity anyway.

>>26705731
Let's go back. I'm sure Pythianne will squee over Obby

>>26705783
>>26705781
>>26705772

You begin heading back to the Summoning Chambers. Oblitus gets a few interested looks, but nothing truly major. He seems uneasy with the attention, and sticks close to you, almost like a lost puppy.

You imagine he has no idea what to do in this situation.

Reaching Pythianne's office, you find her filling out scroll after scroll of parchment. "Oh! You're back! I was just writing up the experiment, getting it all ready for publishing... er, if we are publishing. Are we publishing?" Oblitus fidgets with his arm-cloth. "Oh! OH! You summoned him! Oh he's so adorable look at his little cloth! What does he look like under, do you mind if I remove them dear, no, it's okay, what a beautiful eye," She goes on and on, poking and pulling and tugging at Oblitus, who gives you a pleading look.

>Publish?
>Actions?

Hey Archy! Is it possible to do more than one class?

Going in with Ranafiel for Force Magic as a double major sounds like a good idea, considering even Jasper is doubtful about being able to drop him.

>>26705858
I think it fit's nicely, as we have the power to become whatever we want, and the lowest/highest incorporates the rolls we make.

BUT ENOUGH METAGAMING, LET US ENJOY WIZARDRY

>>26705863
Well, she has already seen him, but I'm sure she will squee anyways.

>>26705887
You can take tutoring - I think someone asked this before. You can only 'specialise' in one class at a time though. You can switch.

>>26705885
Tell her that if she wishes to publish it that she makes no mention of you nor Obby, at least for now.

>>26705885
Hm...this is incredibly risky, but...what if we have a demon publish for us--setting up intermediaries so we can get the dosh without the risk--or at least, not "entire empire after us" levels.

The information alone, and the potential chaos it would cause...some demons would love that.

>>26705885
Do NOT PUBLISH. There will be no attention on us until we want it on us, and by that time we'll have some real power.

>>26705885
If you do publish. Can you please not mention me? Also please stop harassing him, he's uncomfortable enough already.

>>26705885
>Publish?
"After that talk with the Archmagister, I don't think it's the best idea for me to put my name on something like this just yet."
>Actions?
Ehh. Not sure. I guess just keep talking about the publishing issue? Maybe mention that we might do it anonymously or something. I dunno.

Publish!? Hairy McTerrorcastle needs no validation from his peers!

>>26705885
Publish! We are Harry McTerrorcastle, we face our enemies head on!

>>26705885
No publishing for us. If she wants to publish that's fine but keep our name out of it for now.

Let's reassure Luna and let him know we'll see him soon, then let's try out our Summon Imp 2 and chat with Haztoraxifeliv some more. We can give him Ranafiel's name, that should be worth quite a lot. Let's get that succubus name.

>>26705885

"You can publish, Archmagister, but...leave me and Oblitus out of it."

"What! How come?!"

"...the archmagister said it would be better not to stir the pit with the empire."

>and then, we lead into the serious shit. It's time we got some answers from the professor.

"Professor...what exactly are the boundaries, here? The archmagister wants magic to continue. He wants to learn, and teach. But apparently, the empire wants to keep magic contained, and they're willing to do it by force. What am I supposed to do? Learn in secret until I'm as strong as you, or him? Make pacts with demons just so I can protect myself?

"I don't know how far I should go. How far I'm supposed to go. How far I even need to go. I feel like no one's telling me anything. I feel like I'm playing a game, and I only know half the rules. Less than that."

>>26705947
What an unsmooth way to tell her to stop bugging him.

>>26705964
>stir the pit

*stir the pot

>>26705958
Spies!!! He's trying to get us killed!!! We are not this puny Harry, we are the one and only HAIRY MCTERRORCASTLE!

>>26705947
About as smooth as a sandpaper condom...

>>26705885

"Eventually...I don't think I am ready for what could come with it. The Archmagister explain to me comes with too much notoriety in the empire."

>>26705885

Don't publish.Or at least don't take full credit. Fame, fortune, and power will one day be ours. But right now let's not make ourselves a target at 15.

>>26705958
>Harry

You damn plebeian.

>>26705947
>Also please stop harassing him

Let's just subtly step between her and him while we try to pin her down somewhat with this:
>>26705964

>>26705964
HAH! Hairy McTerrorcastle does not turn into a whimpering puppy in the eyes of opposition! No, we take it with swaggering stride and pure awesome.

However, being awesome does not mean we can't be devious, cunning and most importantly patient! There is a time for everything, and now is not that time.

>>26705989
Or maybe smooth in a weird obtuse way for a weird and obtuse woman. We're showing care about our summon, what more could she want from a man other than caring for his precious summons.

>>26706001
>Let's just subtly step between her and him
THIS THIS THIS

>>26705998
NOT READY? We are Hairy McTerrorcastle! Do you have no shame? If we aren't ready, the last thing we do is admit it.

And stop with those ellipsises, they are unmanly and make us seem uncertain about ourselves.

>>26706038
ellipses**

>>26705952
>>26705947
>>26705961

"You can Publish, just... leave me and Oblitus out of it, please?" She gives you a surprised look that softens slightly.

"Oh. So Jasper was worried about that..." She murmurs. She nods. "That's understandable."

You take a deep breath and step between Oblitus and Pythianne. "Professor what exactly are the boundaries here? The Archmagister wants magic to continue but the Empire wants to keep it contained and they're willing to do it by force... What am I supposed to do?"

She pauses, sighing deeply. "I... Whatever you think is best, really. We Magisters will do our best to protect you, and any other student that needs it. If you feel you need to get more Magic to be safe, then ask and we can help you. Just try not to make yourself a target?" She gives you a small smile and pats your shoulder.

She looks away, staring at her desk. "... Vann's been acting odd lately. I'm a little worried something's coming up. The last time he started fidgeting around like this, a third year accidentally summoned something they shouldn't have and well... it didn't end well."

>Actions?

>>26706003
>swaggering stride and pure awesome

Whoa, whoa, whoa, anon, please. Hairy McTerrorcastle is the baddest dude around.

However, endearing ourselves to our mentor and hunting down answers is also important. If we're really going to be the man, we have to know when not to wear a giant badge on our sleeve.

For example, we cooked for our acquaintances to earn their friendship. We are capable of subtlety.

>>26706020
>>26706001
Let Pythianne do as she wants.

>>26705964
110% this. My vote goes here.

>>26706050
>ask for full story on the incident

>>26706051
No, but it doesn't mean we have to turn into a dude with a speech inpediment

Is Pythianne with Vann?

>>26706105
Vann is Pythianne's brother.

>>26706105
They're siblings.

>>26706105
Vann is Pythianne's older brother; Pythianne is his precious imouto.

>>26706050
Magister Vann did talk to me actually...
It was about you and me.

>>26706105

Vann is her older brother.

>>26706050
Oh. Well, that sounds nasty about the 3rd year. But this is a perfect segway towards mask guy.
>>26706105
Siblings.

>>26706118
May as well mention this too.

>>26706118
Again with the ellipses!

Sounding all dreamy and romantic ain't gonna do shit to this sort of woman.
The alchemy girl would positively melt though.

>>26706050

Why don't we tell her about our earlier talk with Vann? I wonder if she knows he spoke to us personally.

Also ask about that summoning incident.

>>26706115
Ah, alright.

We should talk to Vann directly about what happened with the third year, and what's making him nervous, we should also try to see if he knows anything about our future with Pythianne.

Hah! He knows Pythianne is going to fall for us!

>>26706050
"So, about the 'more magic' thing. I got a letter from the Fifth Circle and, well, I went. It's certainly more magic, but the whole thing just seems iffy to me. And the part where I'm sure they're listening to me say this now is part of what makes it seem so iffy. I just feel like I should ask you about them."

The Fifth Circle was their name, right? If it's not, what was it?

>>26706050
I have three questions to ask her
"whats the safest and fastest way you would recommend me to gain enough power to defend myself?"
"can you teach me how to keep something on standby that i can defend myself with"
"would you recommend me studying another magic to defend myself?"

>>26706140
Well then, why don't you write a post that will positively get her soaking wet then?

>>26706158
Nope, you haven't read the previous threads I take it.

He wants us away from Pythianna, so asking something like that would either make him even more hostile towards us or he would just lie saying it's gonna crumble and end with her hating us.

>>26706168
It's pretty clear by now that the fifth circle is supported by multiple of the magisters as a way to keep magic alive, they just NEED to keep it under cover so they don't get assassinated.

>>26706168

Frankly, I don't even think we need to ask. Judging from what the Archmagister told us about his motivations, it's obvious that if he isn't running the Circle, he supports it. They're trying to grow more powerful mages that can't be moved.

>>26706174

These are excellent questions, though I'm pretty set on Force Magic as a secondary, especially after Archmagister confirmed that Castle has a natural bent for it.

>>26706186
If I knew that I'd have done it ages ago.

I just know theres a time for lovey dovey romance and that is AFTER she is already interested in you.

>>26706190
He doesn't want us away from her, he just wants us to know that Papa--or in this case, Brother Bear is watching.

Guys, need I remind you we have a date with alchemy girl?

>>26706190
no i've been reading through them slowly as I post in here.

>>26706230
She's a mute, and she's flat.
Sorry, Pythianne all the way.

>>26706230

We'll get to it.

I bet we can find her hanging around the Fifth Circle's clubhouse. I want to see what sorts of interesting things Oblitus can do, and the we should chill with her and Bowie.

>>26706144
>>26706118

"Vann actually talked to me earlier, before I went into the experiment..."

Pythianne nods. "I know, he told me he warned you about the repercussions of the experiment. I was excited to know you came anyway!"

"... Right. What happened with the Third-year incident anyway?" Pythianne fidgets with her sleeve.

"Er... one of my students, one of my best students actually, tried to summon Aralogath, Herald of the End. We lost ten students to that... if Ranafiel wasn't by on his usual exercise, we might have lost more." You nod. She doesn't seem to like talking about this.

"What's the safest and fasted way you would recommend for me to gain enough power to defend myself?"

She gives you a shrewd look, before glancing at Oblitus - he hasn't done much since you started talking, kind of hovering behind you. "Honestly? Try and learn Oblitus's abilities. He might be powerful and he seems loyal."

You nod.

>Actions?

>>26706230
Do you really think that Operation: Hot for Teacher is ever gonna lead anywhere? She's an adult, and a teacher. We're a horny teenager who constantly asks her about summoning succubi.

>>26706230
We're Harry McTerrorcastle, we can handle more then one girl!

>>26706267
That's what we say, not what we feel.

"I strive for something beyond the strongest, that challenging me would be the most ridiculous thought ever, that fighting me would be a sin!"

I think it's a sign. Accel would be the most absurdly OP Force mage if translated to this setting.

>>26706261
we asked her about that like, once.

>>26706230
I think it's the description of the tits, the anons can't resist trying to get at a large pair of imaginary tits for some obscure reason.

I personally think we have some me recruits who're obsessed with the magister cos until last thread we seemed to be set on Ariane.

Also Vann has to know about the fifth circle unless they can hide us from his divinations

>>26706257
>she's flat.

She's always been described as wearing baggy clothing. We haven't had a beach episode to tell yet.

>>26706259
Well, there's that. And then there's force magic.
We can do both.

>>26706277
Why not ask force mages if it is possible?

>>26706259
>tried to summon Aralogath, Herald of the End
What the fuck. Who would even try.. Just... WHAT.

>>26706286
I'll admit, half the fun is describing her chest and watching anon's react

>>26706284
Dude, every time we talked to her about demons we asked about succubi. Every. Time. Look it up.

>>26706302
Start describing Ariane's body so she can get some attention too. Date will be a good opportunity to see her out of baggy clothing.

>>26706302
I still can't believe she didn't mind us seeing her nude.
Actually ask her about that.

>>26706259
>Aralogath, Herald of the End

Jesus Christ how horrifying.

Let's head to the clubhouse and give Oblitus a test drive. And talk about how great we are.

Then we can see what the buds are up to and drink potions with Ariane so we can go on a metaphysical exploration of the inner psyche.

>Not wanting the trap.

>thatismyfetish.jpg

>>26706360

I think she's just mute, she's responded to our talking perfectly well. That or she reads lips.

>>26706347
I'm not sure it's natural for people to see each other though..

>>26706322
>>26706321
>>26706294

"Um... about the Astral Travel..." She looks at you. "Yes?"
"... Why weren't you bothered about being naked?" She blinks, and giggles.

"Dear, I work with Jasper. He goes around naked once a month on average. Besides, your not the first person I've Astral Travelled with. Although Vann doesn't let me drag him along after that trip to the Infernal Plane..." You decide not ask.

You bid her goodbye and leave for the Sekrit Clubhouse.

As you move over to the tree, you do see Ranafiel and Jasper running side by side. He is, indeed, wearing a pair of pink, floppy bunny ears... and is that a cotton tail? It's a cotton tail.

Making sure the coast is clear, you slip down into the Fifth Circle.

Jaqul is sitting in the main room, reading a book. There are a pair of older students you don't recognise, one male, one female, calmly playing chess. They look like twins.

The Alchemy Lab's door is open, as is the Library. Masked Man is not present but his Mask is still hanging on his throne. You can hear the sounds of sparring from the Force Dojo.

>>26706261
We've never seriously asked her, and only jokingly asked once, a fact I'm miffed about.

I pointed this out earlier, >>26704406
but I still think something is up with Pythaine after what Luna said in the flashback thing

>>26706385
Shout out that the empire is out to assassinate us all and that we need to keep our cover low.

>>26706259
We really need to meet Ranafiel and get more of that force magic swag

>>26706385
Head to the dojo. If we are to fully learn of the Entropic Plane, we must know how to control things in this Plane as well.

>>26706385

Check the force Force Dojo, we may learn something from watching.

>>26706424
LETS SPAR WITH OBBY

>>26706385

Either the dojo or the summoning chamber. There was a summoning chamber down here too, right?

>>26706385
Let's let Jaqul know we're here now. He needs to know.

And then we go to the summoning room with Obby. I suspect that he's going to be able to fuck shit up. The librarian seems to telegrab books. Maybe Obby can just straight up warp reality.

>>26706385
When is our date with Ariane? Is Obby still with us?

If we have nothing else to do, we should watch people spar and try to pick something up.

>>26706385
Just poke our head into the alchemy lab to see if Ariane is there. If she is wave and come in, since we can't contain Obby it doesn't matter where we go with her. Also Obby seems shy, Ariane seems shy, they might hit it off big.

Wonder what would've happened if we didn't qualify for the Fifth Circle. More standard Slice of Life stuff?

>>26706449
>When

It's whenever the fuck we feel like it. Seriously, we told her we'd hang out later and exchange notes. And by notes, she'd show us some cool potions and we'd introduce her to haxifoar, uh, haxorlifxx, uh, zifaxlse - fuck it, we'd introduce her to Bowie.

>>26706380

That's about as natural as it gets.

>>26706464
"He's pretty cool, what's his name?"

"The experience of carving libraries worth of information into the flesh of human slaves in the dark depths of the Infernal Plane."

>>26706385
Introduce ourselves to the older students and look for another summoner. Need to start learning from someone with a different perspective.

Let's simply as Oblitus if he can obliterate things, or if he can help is with other things.

>>26706451
>>26706442
>>26706437
>>26706424

You poke your head into the Alchemy Lab. Ariane is indeed mixing potions, listening to the instructions of an older student. "... and then grind the basilisk scale carefully. Only a little bit."

You wave at her when she glances up and she smiles. She'd wave back, but she's holding test tubes. Oblitus pokes his head in as well, and she looks faintly surprised at this. "..."

"When your done, can you meet me in the Force Dojo?" She nods, still carefully pouring powdered scales into a vial of thick, bubbling red liquid.

You head to the Force Dojo, greeting Jaqul as you go. He glances up at Oblitus, blinks, and looks back down into his book.

The Force Dojo is currently occupied by the tall Force Mage you met earlier, and a small, dainty little brunette girl. They're engaged in a vicious spar, and the little girl is winning easily.

It seems mostly Physical... except they're about a foot away from each other, striking out with telekinetic blows and parrying with Force Shields.

She's pretty good - a vicious kick sends the taller male back into a padded wall, as she wipes sweat from her forehead.

>Ask Oblitus about his powers?
>Continue watching?

>>26706527
Ask Oblitus

>>26706527
Ask if oblitus can do what they are doing

>>26706527
>>Ask Oblitus about his powers?
>>Continue watching?

Might as well ask him while we watch.

Ask him if he thinks he could match them.

>>26706527
>Ask Oblitus about his powers?
Not a straight up question though. Something like, "You're really awesome, so you should be able to do some really awesome things. Why don't ya show me something awesome!"

>>26706527
Converse with Oblitus about his powers while watching the two spar. We're Harry McTerrorcastle, we can multitask easily.

>>26706527
>Ask Oblitus about his powers?

If my theories are correct it should be simmilar to how Force Magic operates. Both are about imposing your will onto the world, but whereas Force Magic alters physicalities, Entropic Magic alters concepts, ideas, raw energy. I would bet anything that the Plane of pure energy is related to the Entropic Plane in some way.

>>26706527
Ask Blonde girl about force magic.
Then after we get the quick and to the point force magic response ask Obby about his powers.

>>26706527

Is it possible gain any more crazy insight bonuses from watching a spar? Otherwise probe Obby about his abilities. Although I have a feeling we'd have to come up with abilities for him to use based on what we observe is his forte, rather than him just telling us.

>>26706561
This.

>>26706573
Also, this sounds probable. Maybe try to get Obby to alter the concept of gravity so that something floats?

>>26706581
I think disintegration may be a further application of force magic? Instead of thinking of moving or some such thing you merely focus on removing the object from existence.

>>26706581
Crazy, no, but it's obvious that a physical motion adds to the ease of casting. Not necessary by any means, due to whatshisface simply disintegrating everything he touches, but it likely adds to the ability to visualize the intended change.

We should not rely on this. The ability to toss someone aside without moving is far more powerful than telegraphing your intent.

>>26706544
>>26706545
>>26706559
>>26706561

You watch as the taller male gets up again, charges with a roar... and is tripped by a telekinetic force. Power is all well and good if you can't wield it well it seems.

"Say, Obby, you're pretty cool. Why don't you show me something cool you can do?" He looks at his hands.

"I... I don't remember... I..." He stares up at one of the training dummies, reaching out with one hand. "Lonely. I've been so lonely..." It begins to move... it's arms bend and it's legs shift. The half-stitched face blinks. "I don't want to be lonely anymore..."

The Training Dummy pulls itself off it's chains, standing before Oblitus.

>Actions?

>>26706609
The force magic we aim for is the kind that as we sit on our throne of bones, commanding our legions of devils and demons, and a hero bursts in to stop us, we look at him, and he becomes a pulp from sheer force of will we used on him.

>>26706647
That's awesome obby! Can you do it with more than one at the time? Try making them dance!

>>26706647
Ok. So he animates golems. And it looks like already human-shaped things are easier.

So, "You're not alone anymore. You're my friend now, and I'm your friend. But I bet you could make more. Like that guy standing right there." (gesture to the dummy)

>>26706647
Did he just animate the training dummy?

>>26706647

>"I don't want to be lonely anymore..."

>The Training Dummy pulls itself off it's chains, standing before Oblitus.

Holy shit.

Army of inanimate objects, here we come!

On that note, let us comfort our friend and partner in crime.

If this aspect reflects something of us...does that mean we're lonely, too?

>>26706647
Animation? The power to animate objects? Please be this awesome!

On a side note, let him continue until we sense danger to our secrecy, someone else or our selves then step in and give Obby a hug and say "your not alone anymore remember?"

>>26706647

Test the limits of his ability. Try to animate more dummies, make them fight each other.

>>26706699
Nah. Just deathly afraid of it.

>>26706647
Maybe he is representing forgotten power

I wonder if he can animate other people.
Let's not find out yet.

>>26706647
Guys, please.

We should go comfort Obby. He's not alone anymore, we're here for him. We're his friend.

>>26706699
>>26706708
>>26706695

You hug him from behind. For someone made of black sand and feelings, he's surprisingly warm. "Shhh. You're not alone anymore, remember? I'm your friend now, and forever." He stiffens a little but relaxes. "Can you make anymore?"

Oblitus holds his hands out. A second training dummy joins the first. A third jostles and moves a little but as it grows in power, the others seem to weaken. His limit seems to be two... or maybe it's affected by size as well? In any case, it looks like has to divide his power between them.

>Actions?
>I'm going to start drawing up Oblitus's Character sheet in a moment.

>>26706723

Afraid of loneliness?

It would make sense. We named ourselves Hairy McTerrorcastle. We don't want to be ignored.

We don't want to be forgotten.

>>26706752
Maybe control them or make them like him/us. Seeing as his power is related to making friends.

>>26706771

Practice makes perfect.

How about we ask Force-girl if she'd like to spar against some dummies? Summon magic vs Force magic!

>>26706771
Let's do some experiments, first: find out the absolute limit of dummies. Secondly: find out the full extent of commands we can issue, try making it dance and attack each other.
Third: Try it on other objects and see how much we can control at once.
Last: Try it on a willing human.

Rolled 34

>>26706771
Try it for ourselves. We have telekinesis, and we're the one who "created" Oblitus, so we should have the basic potential.

>>26706771
Maybe check how the other people reacted to this. Also try ordering the dummies to do something, if that doesn't work ask Obby to send back two to their original positions and lets practice with one. Later on we can try on other materials and objects to see the finer details.

>>26706828
Don't roll unless the Archmagister asks us to
Especially when you roll that low

>>26706821
Our teacher perhaps?
Lets ask Oblitus the effects if used on humans first though.

>>26706828
>>26706798

"Hmmm... I wonder how tough they are..." You glance at Luna, before glancing at the brunette girl. The tall mage is panting on the ground, and she gives you an interested look. "Nice trick. Enchantment?" She says calmly, wiping some sweat off her forehead.

"Something like that. I want to see how tough they are." She nods, assuming a boxing stance.

"Let's see how good these things are!" Oblitus blinks in surprise when she Force Punches a dummy in the stomach. "... That's not very nice..." He murmurs, tilting his head. The struck dummy collapses to the ground bonelessly as the second dummy charges forward, surprisingly quickly. It's surprisingly acrobatic, flipping and rolling around the girl's blows, jabbing her lightly with it's hands. Oblitus frowns lightly.

"... Too soft..." He mutters. He's probably referring to the dummies themselves.

>Try sparring one for yourself?
>Other?

>>26706906
"So how are you doing that?"

>>26706906
Hey girl, wanna see if this enhancement works on humans too?

>>26706931
Is that directed at Oblitus or the girl?

>>26706906
Might be an idea to stop before Obby does something dramatic. Like turning their fists into adamantine, we don't know if he can but better not take chances.

>>26706906
Well I HOPE he's referring to the dummy.
In any case, why don't we ask what Obi wants to do?

>>26706906
>Other?
"If the dummies are too soft, you should try shaping one out of the stone in the ground."

>>26706938
Obby.

>>26706938
I think it would be better directed at the girl. Obby is just going to say he doesn't want to be alone.

>>26706906
So Luna's a good trainer, huh? We should learn how to create REAL golems and put them under Luna's control.

Let's try learning a trick from the Force girl, as well as her name. We can promise to let her spar with Luna's golems later.

>"... Too soft..." He mutters.

"Then just make them harder," you say.

>>26706939

Ah, whatever. We'll just take her to the healing magister. She seems like the type to be impressed with a show of strength anyway.

>>26706972
>"Then just make them harder,"
This

>>26706972
What would we tell the healer?
"She fell down the stairs sir, I swear."

>>26707011
Force Magic training. Sparring got a little heated. Should've been doing it with someone watching, etc, etc, so sorry.

>>26706931
>>26706953
>>26706944

You shrug at him, tapping him on the shoulder. He blinks in surprise, the Training dummy collapsing to the floor bonelessly. "If they're too soft, you could make one from the stone in the ground." He looks down, focusing, before sighing. "... I can't." He mutters.

Well. Worth a shot. Seems like he can't make them move unless they're already capable of movement.

"Say, I didn't get your name. I'm Hairy McTerrorcastle, but my friends call me Castle." She gives you an amused stare but holds out her hand. "Josephine McLaine, third year Force student." Oblitus fidgets with his cloth again. "This is Oblitus, by the way. Oblitus Luna. He's not a student." You add the last part almost as an afterthought.

"If you want to try and practice on the golem's later, that's cool with me." She chuckles, stretching lightly. "I'd like that."

>Actions?

>>26706972
Yeah do this

>>26707011
People die here all the time, breaking a couple of ribs during a force sparring match doesn't seem too unlikely

>>26706934
Ah shit, lets go ahead and try this.
Wonder if it goes permanent of they were sentient beforehand too.

>>26707032
We should probably stop treating Obby like a slave. We don't technically control him.

I think we should tell Obby to take a break while we ask blondie if she could help with our force magic.

>>26707032
Ask Oblitus if it works on humans too, and if yes, ask the girl if she wants to volunteer.

I just had a thought about the masked man. What if its the librarian?

>>26707032
Maybe ask her about some force magic. "I'm focusing on summoning, but I've been meaning to learn some more force magic too. Read Ranafiel's book about BE STRONG, but all I can really do is toss around a pillow. Any pointers?"
