sixty-first labyrinth

[lord_wizard]

I think this has waited long enough.

I'm going to go out today and install wards to the live-zone outpost. I realize some of you are not yet ready to do this, but at this point something is better than nothing. Any of you is welcome to accompany me or contribute something at a later date, of course, if you are so inspired. I think I can at least count on Duke, since we've already done some work with his crystals. For those of you who aren't yet aware of this project, my goal is to ensure that we do not lose this new outpost as we did the last ones. 

That said, I'll be leaving in a few hours. You can find me at Chimera headquarters if you wish to come along.

[Chimera only]

May I also remind you all that one of our goals is gathering info on the magic of other residents, and if you speak to anyone you believe qualifies, it would help if you learned and recorded what you could. I am only one man.

[radiantwingedone]

Yes- Can be there soon. Day-trip? Day or so?

Should gather... and leave note... [ And some distracted moving about to find everything he wants to bring along, although he is listening for a reply. ]

[lord_wizard]

We should be back before the end of the day, thanks to Aradia's transporter, or whatever it is she calls it.

Leave a note for whom...? [Nosy forever]

[radiantwingedone]

Hmm. [ He won't need much else than the blastia body then. ]

Will. [ The kid who couldn't heal but could hold people out of time indefinitely.

Duke can be heard to mutter 'and don't eat it' to something on his end. ]

[legacydeck]

I'm not sure how much use my spells will be, but I'll come. Perhaps I'll learn something new~

[lord_wizard]

You may at that. Another head on the problem rarely hurts anything, in any case.

[legacydeck]

Quite true. I mostly do physical shielding - but most of my magic works on material things.

[fistfullofmagic]

[Hm. This is new. Dhaos has to admit that he's curious.

It is thus that he finds himself in the Chimera headquarters less than an hour later. Pay no attention to how his cloak keeps shifting in bizarre colors and patterns.]

[lord_wizard]

[The clothing is a bit more secondary to the fact that Felix doesn't recognize Dhaos and isn't sure what he's doing here. He lifts an eyebrow]

Can I help you?

[fistfullofmagic]

You are the one who spoke of installing wards, correct? I believe I might be of some assistance.

[If not, he might learn something. That's always nice.]

[strangewonders]

I suppose I don't have anything else on my agenda today...

[lord_wizard]

It's a small day trip. It shouldn't take but a few hours at most.

Felix

[kungfuwitch]

I'll help you any way I can, you know that Felix.

[she smiles] I've only spoken to one other magic user recently who might be interested- James Potter. He's from Hermione's world so I don't know if she's already told him about it yet or not.

[Phoebe]

[lord_wizard]

Yes, I've spoken to him as well. I asked him to see what is holding Hermoine back from joining us this time. Powers though if he'll manage it, though.

But thank you for trying, my dear. You don't have to recruit them to get information - though of course doing so would be ideal. The more types of magic we can identify and catalog the better.

[Felix]

[kungfuwitch]

You're welcome. Now that I'm not wedding planning I should have more time to contribute to Chimera. I can talk to Hermione as well if you'd like.

[Felix]

[lioneyed]

I'll probably be more of a hindrance than a help if I come along. Is there anything that needs doing here while you're gone?

[Thamuris]

[lord_wizard]

Oh, I shouldn't be gone very long. The young lady who rebuilt the outpost also installed something which transports people there instantly. I don't find it terribly pleasant but it is convenient.

[Felix]

[lioneyed]

Oh. That does sound rather convenient.

[wishmadeinfire]

How long are we planning to be gone? Or is it merely a day trip, dear?

[lord_wizard]

I'll be back by evening, if not earlier.

[wishmadeinfire]

Do you need me to come to help test the wards at all?

_{[In other words, he wished to come. Besides, he had little better to do here in the Castle.]}

[peacockherald]

I can try and set a few, though admittedly I need some more time to make a proper anchor stone for them.

[lord_wizard]

I don't remember you mentioning an anchor stone. I presume it's function is implied in the name, but tell me more anyhow.

[peacockherald]

Well, I can hold wards by myself if I am there to maintain them. However, an anchor stone would allow the wards to fuel themselves with minimal resetting. I have a similar method I want to try in Valdemar, though the spell is much larger there and takes a far larger node of power. With that not here, the stone I have in mind would need - recharging, so to speak, every now and then.

[lord_wizard]

I figured you might be. Thank you. I hope you don't mind a few visitors. Hopefully it will not take too long.
