Your name is Hairy McTerrorcastle. You are a student at the Fifth Circle Academy, specialising in the School of Summoning under the buxom and bouncy Magister Pythianne.

His adventure has seen him talk to Imps, watch a man walk through a table, meet a strange and possibly dangerous otherwordly being, enter the whimsical land that is the Academy Archives. You were invited to an experiment with Pythianne, but before that, there was the issue of a strange letter given to you and Jaqul.

Following it's instructions, you ended up in a spacious room hidden beneath a tree in the Courtyard.

After hiding yourself, watching a few of your fellow students enter and mingle. Once everyone arrived, the Mask on the wall moved forward, revealing itself to be some strange robed figure with a flair for the dramatic. Revealing why each of you was called here, it moved onto the topic of what this strange group was about.

"... Do not be alarmed. You will not be punished. The Fifth Circle Academy has always existed to educate, but it's true purpose has been for us. The Fifth Circle. Did you think it got it's name because it sounded fancy?" It shakes it's head.

"The Fifth Circle nurtures Magic as Magic should be nurtured. Unrestricted. Unbound. We chose you, to join us. We offer you Power, and in return... all we ask is that you take it." It holds out a hand, letting magic coalesce into a small ball before shattering when it clenches it's fist.

>I do apologise for the short notice cancellation yesterday; my mother decided a surprise visit was in order.
>>
>>26647044

If we were going to be punish, it could be done in this over-elaborated dramatics. I say its save to accept the invitation.
>>
>>26647044
We've got nothing to lose, if they were gonna punish us they could of done so already.

Accept the offer, though see what the others do as well.
>>
>>26647066
That's perfectly understandable. Family comes first.

I want to know how they spied on everybody and what makes them think they have the right to spy on anybody.
>>
>>26647218
>>26647182
We're not going to find out exactly what they mean by "Power"? I want to know more about this group before we join it.
>>
>>26647044

We are always willing to learn more, lets take them on their offer.
>>
>>26647182
>>26647218
>>26647240
>>26647256

You decide to let the others react first, gauging theirs before acting yourself.

"Who gave you the right to spy on us anyway?!" The tall Force Mage snarls, furious. The Masked Man cocks his head to the side. "Who gives the Sun permission to beam it's light upon you? Who tells the Rain to come and go? The Fifth Circle asks nobody for permission to what it may or may not do... as should you."

Lutharius shakes his head, backing away slightly. "... what if we don't accept? If we refuse?" The Masked Man lets out a chuckle, a hoarse rumbling sound. "Nothing. You leave. You can tell the Magisters if you want. I won't stop you. But really... are you even sure you can trust them?"

The others look around uneasily, not really sure whether to accept or not. You take the initiative. "What do you mean by 'Power'?" The Masked Man... you get the impression it grins at you. It's wearing a mask though.

"Power is Power. Some believe Power comes from spells or magic. They are foolish. Power exists in many forms, and the Fifth Circle exists to let those who can seek it... seek it. Is it spells you want? Then have them. Is it raw magic? Then take it. Is it forgotten lore? It is yours. All we ask is that you take the power, that you USE it. Power exists to be used and if it is not used... what is it then?"

>More questions?
>Accept?
>Refuse?
>>
>>26647370
>Accept

Also, how is deaf alchemy girl doing? Does she seem to be understanding this guy somehow?
what was her name again?
>>
And just as a side note, I really hope we start just going by 'Castle'. Is a lot less ridiculous.
>>
>>26647370
Demand to see the masked man's face.
>>
This could just as easily be some ruse to weed out all potentially dangerous mages and scare the just-curious mages back into line by showing them that big brother always watching.

Or it could really be what they say it is.
>>
>>26647405

Ariane is she really deaf? I thought she was just shy.

>>26647427

Yes please, I hate that stupid name we got.

>>26647370

"What you will teach us that the Magisters don't?"
>>
>>26647508
>Ariane is she really deaf? I thought she was just shy.
I thought she was just mute at first, but apparently it interferes with her magic, whatever her problem is. And I saw some anons saying she was deaf and Archy didn't correct them. So I think she's deaf.
>>
>>26647427
>>26647508
I like Hairy's full name, and it's not like people call us by it all the time anyway. Usually they just use the first name.

>"What you will teach us that the Magisters don't?"
Seconding.
>>
Glad to see I didn't miss much.

I say we accept, but proceed with caution.
>>
>>26647508
>>26647439
>>26647405

Ariane looks around, more then a little confused. She seems to understand what's going on, you think, or at least getting the gist of it, but she seems as nervous as the others. Nobody wants to accept but nobody wants to refuse.

"If you want me to accept, I'm going to need proof this isn't a trap or something." You tell him, pointing at his Mask. "Why don't you remove that Mask for starters?"

It laughs, tapping it's mask. "Remove my Mask? And what would that tell you? Beneath the Mask is a Man like any other. You want to know my identity? I'll give you a hint. I'm a Magister. Power to those who seek it, and names hold a power of their own you know."

It glides into the center, whirling around at each of you in turn. "What will you teach us that the other Magister's don't?"

It laughs again. "What don't the Magister's teach you? They don't teach you about the forbidden schools because they don't want people to seek them out. What do YOU want to learn? We know you've been talking to your little fiendish friend, discussing deals. Do you really think Pythianne will teach you how to really Summon Devils? How to wheel and deal and bind and steal?"

It holds it's hands out. "Accept or refuse? What will it be?"

You sigh. You reach out.

>Confirming acceptance?
>>
>>26647689
Yeah sure. Time for plot.
>>
>>26647689
>Confirming acceptance?
Yes, we haven't done anything wrong and we actually ask Magister Pythianne about the subject but she didn't tell us anything concrete.
>>
>>26647689
I swear to god if it's Vann under there and he blows up our head, I'm gonna be miffed.

Accept. But let him know that HAIRY MCTERRORCASTLE is his own man and won't be some secret society's puppet.
>>
>>26647780
I bet it's the fucking librarian and he's lying about being a magister.
>>
>>26647780
>Implying AM is Papa-n.
>>
>>26647689
>Pythianne
>Not Magister Pythianne


"Wait a second, Is that you Magister Vann?"
>>
>>26647044
>Hairy McTerrorcastle
This seems so interesting but I just cannot for the life of me get past that damn name.
>>
Damn, right when I have to go to bed. I'm looking forward to reading it when I wake up.
>>
>>26647840
Honestly, Vann would make sense if this is a trap. Our dealings with Bowie don't seem as "bad" as the things the rest of them are accused of.

This could just be him trying to stick it to us after he got some future vision of us sticking it to his sister of something.
>>
"I'm sorry Magister Vann, but everything I need to learn I can earn on my own, that's how it's been, and always will be, even the incident with the knowledge trading I was going to ask my teachers if it was legal."
"I've no interest in joining you"
>>
>>26647892

Lets not get ahead of ourselves see if its Vann and see how he reacts.
>>
wait a second.

Do we need abjuration for doing summoning? because ours is pretty low...
>>
>>26647892
This.
We've begun taking steps to learning magic with our teacher, why do we need this shady guy's help?
>>
>>26647921
We've been summoning fine without it so far. All of our Summoning DCs are only affected by our summoning stat, each spell explains it.
>>
>>26647689
Accept the shit out of this. They're essentially just lettting us know that they know what's up, and not to destroy too much of school property while we do our own research and such.
>>
>>26647780
I'm taking back my acceptance if it's not too late. This guy is convincing. >>26647892
>>
>>26647948
Why do you think it's only first years joining?
All the rest are exiled.
>>
>>26647964
What?
>>
>>26647973
Don't you find it strange only people what have just entered the academy got the invites?
I certainly do.
>>
>>26647996
He thinks its a trick/trap.
>>
>>26647996
I don't. Mask guy claims that this whole thing is about people taking power. They're only interested in people that want to take that power as soon as they can.
>>
>>26647964

Haven't done anything wrong and we actually ask the magister about what we ere doing. If they were going to expel anyone we could have done it already like the necromancer guy or the guy trying destruction magic.

I say see how he reacts to our inquery about being Vann, and I still think we should accept regardless.
>>
>>26647996
Because they invite the one's with promise when they're first years? Doesn't sound that implausible.
>>
>>26647996

Isn't the big guy older than us?
>>
>>26648018
Not him, but I'm worried that Mask is offering nothing concrete and he's not demanding a concrete price, either. That's no way to Deal.
>>
>>26647913
>>26647892
>>26647888
>>26647840

You blink. Wait a minute... Is... is that Vann?

"... Magister Vann... is that you?" You say experimentally. The Masked Man turns to face you.

"Oh? You think I'm the lazybones who sleeps all day? Ha! Next you will confuse me for the man who walks through walls because he cannot figure out a door. Perhaps you'll see me as your own Magister, Pythianne. Perhaps you'll see me as the fool who cannot make potions. Perhaps I am them. Perhaps I am not."

"My identity matters not. What matters is your choice."

The tall Force Mage thrusts his hand out. "I accept." He says gruffly. Jaqul sighs reluctantly, before following suit. Ariane and Lutharius give you searching looks - you think their decision will hinge entirely on you.

The remaining student, the blonde airy girl blinks slowly. "Ah. I see." Having said that, she reaches out to shake the Masked Man's hand.
>>
>>26647892
HAIRY MCTERRORCASTLE IS A ONE MAN SHOW.
AND HE AGREES WITH THIS
>>
>>26648053
>I'm still not entirely sure where you stand on this. Can I please have a show of hands?
>>
>>26648071
I vote accept.
>>
>>26648053

Yeah, OK accept.
>>
>>26648053
I postpone my decision until a later date.
I don't do anything without research.
>>
>>26648071
Ehh. Why not. If we get thrown out we get thrown out together and we have a band of friends that also got thrown out.

Accept.
>>
>>26648092
Where're you gonna research the secret society?
>>
>>26648053
Let's do this shit. What's the worst that could happen?
>>
>>26648092
I'm abstaining like this guy.
>>
>>26648092
Fuck it, I'm agreeing with this.
No need to plunge ourselves into what could be a trap if we can find out beforehand.
>>
>>26648071

Yes please!
>>
>>26648092
If we can find out about their society then they're shit, but if we can't then there's no point to joining.
Going with this.
>>
>>26648081
>>26648084
>>26648095

>Accept

You sigh, taking his hand in yours and shaking it firmly. "Fine. But Hairy McTerrorcastle serves nobody!" You say, entire being defiant. The Masked Man nods and turns to Ariane and Lutharius. They both sigh, and shake his hands as well.

"Allow me to officially welcome you all... to the Fifth Circle." He moves over to the Throne, where you saw the mask last. "The chambers are now open to all of you. But I would advise you not to come here unless you are not seen... people might ask questions." It melts back into the Throne, until the Mask is hanging on the wall again.

You hear a hum and a click. You think the other doors are unlocked.

>Explore?
>Return to your Dorm?
>>
>>26648127
Clarification: I'm abstaining entirely from the vote right now.
>>
>>26648065
Nope, fucking nope.

>>
>>26648170
>Explore?
yes
>>
>>26648215
No, it's a little after midnight. The experiment starts at noon.
>>
>>26648170
>>Explore?
Because why the hell not
>>
>>26648170
Explore, obviously. It shouldn't be much past 12:30 so we've got an hour or so to explore.
>>
Would telepathic communication fall under Enchantment, Illusion, one of the ???, or something else?

>>26648216
>>26648192

You head for the first door, swinging it open easily. It's a laboratory. You can see various beakers and flasks, and other apparatus you never really learned all that much about. You can see a glass cabinet clearly showing off a wide variety of bottles, jars, bits and pieces of various things you don't really think are edible.

You turn around to try one of the other doors, but Lutharius has beat you to it. It resembles the Summoning Circles you saw in the Chambers, Magic Circle runes engraved into the floor and roof, to bind and restrain whatever is Summoned within. You notice char marks, and puddles of things you're not entirely sure you want to know about.

A third door you find opens up to a large, spacious... dojo? There are training posts, weights, even training gi's. The tall Force Mage pumps his fist excitedly, already heading over to some of the training weights.

The last and fourth door opens up to a small library. The numerous shelves are all labelled with a different school of Magic, and another labelled 'Magic Theory'.

You notice a crystal sitting on a podium, with a small engraved plaque above it. It reads 'Channeling Stone - Please put back when used.'
>>
>>26648322
>Actions?
>>
>>26648322
Let's check for books on Summoning, specifically Astral Projection or the Entropic Plane.
>>
>>26648322

Check the library further see what the Summoning section has.
>>
>>26648322
>Summoning circles
>Private Library
>Force Dojo
Aw shit son, new favourite hangout.

Try and find more on deals with denizens from the infrenal Plane - and perhaps others - in the Summoning shelves
>>
>>26648322
i am a bit late with this, but before we go, we should ask who previous members of this group was. We could be the first.
>>
>>26648335
I know people wanna check out the summoning things, but I kinda wanna look at the force room, since it's our highest stat. Also because I have a massive boner for TK.

Or the alchemy lab.
>>
>>26648364
>>26648363
>>26648361
>>26648397


You head over to the Summoning section. You find it's further divided into subsections based on the content within. The Summoning section is divided into the various Planes, with a catch-all 'Other' for everything else.

You grab one title that leaps out at you - 'Deals with Devils, and other Infernal Bargains'. Definitely something of interest to you right now.

It occurs to you that you know nothing of the history of the Fifth Circle. You aren't sure if the Masked Man will answer you if you ask him right now - he kind of melted back into the wall. He did say he was a Magister though...

There are some desks and chairs, even some plush armchairs and a small fireplace in a corner of the Secret Library for those who want to read.

You walk out with your book though, to check on the others. The Force Mage is juggling small weights... with his mind. Ariane is nowhere to be seen as is Lutharius - you think they've left to go back to sleep. It is getting kind of late...

Jaqul looks at you, then at the book in your hands. "... Should we go?" He raises his hands, ready to cast a spell.

He waited for you. Awww, he really does care!

>Leave?
>>
>>26648424
Pumping summoning makes the most sense right now because of our experiment in 11 hours. We can definitely come back later and do some force training.
>>
>>26648442
If there is nothing else, I say we go.
>>
>>26648442

What does Lutharius studies again? And who was the guy who study necromancy? I think the Character sheet needs information on the people we know.
>>
>>26648442
I don't think we're allowed to take the books. Are we?
>>
>>26648442
Tell them that if they're tired they should go back without use, but we need to do a bit of research right now. We'll be back in a little bit.
>>
>>26648442
Take a couple of the summoning books and go.
>>
>>26648474
Luth was general I think.

Necro was a chick. I think that blonde girl we don't know.
>>
>>26648474
Lutharius studies General Magic. You don't know her name, but the Necromancer is an airy blonde girl.
>>
>>26648442
we have an experiment to go in tomorrow, we need at least a moderate amount of sleep
>>
>>26648484
Elaborating; if we can't take the books, stay for a bit to look over the summoning books.

If not, go ahead and leave.
>>
>>26648493
>>26648497

>Hey girl, I have a bone you can animate anytime.
>>
>>26648442
Leave.

Go to sleep. Come back later, after the experiment.
>>
>>26648442
Yeah lets go back and get some sleep, then we can check out our book before we go in for the experiment tomorrow.
>>
Shit forgot about the experiment.

Retconning this >>26648490, let's head back.
>>
Don't we already have a pile of books we need to look through from the not-secret library?


Anyone got a list?
>>
>>26648474
It's pretty easy to ctrl+f search the archived threads.
>>
>>26648502
>>26648492
>>26648472

You decide to grab a few more summoning books - 'The Ambitious Guide to Devil Summoning' and 'Unusual Elementals'. You don't see a rule telling you not to take them, so you shrug. The Masked Man did say not to ask permission.

You nod at Jaqul, and he casts the spell again.

You both head back to your Dorm without getting caught, although you pass Magister Ranafiel doing handstand push up's. He was mumbling something about 'strength' but was looking straight down at the floor and didn't seem to notice you.

You dump the books on your desk as Jaqul bids you a goodnight, flopping into his bed tiredly. You think all those spells took it out of him.

>Sleep?
>>
>>26648550
Sleep!
>>
>>26648550
Yeah let's get a good 9 hours of sleep.
>>
>>26648550
Sleep.
>>
>>26648550
Yea, lets try to get a good amount of sleep in.

We're probably need it, depending on the mood of our 'friend'
>>
I keep picturing Jaqul as middle eastern Jace.
>>
>>26648572
>>26648571
>>26648565

You go to sleep. Your sleep is dreamless but refreshing. You wake up with a yawn, and glance around. Jaqul is missing from his bed.

It's currently 10AM. The experiment starts at Noon.

>Breakfast?
>Shower?
>Something else?
>>
>>26648600

Quick breakfast and then read those new books until we need to go.
>>
>>26648600

Breakfast, Shower, Books, also hide the books well.
>>
>>26648600
We need to ask Vaan which sort of magic he knows that allows people to walk through walls.
>>
>>26648600
Shower, and then just a quick breakfast for ourselves so we can peruse one of the new books we borrowed.
>>
>>26648600
shower then breakfast
>>
>>26648600
Shower and a good breakfast, then spend time reading our new book until it's time to go. 'The Ambitious Guide to Devil Summoning'
>>
>>26648550
I know it's a bit late now, but I don't think we should keep the books in our room. If they get discovered by anyone, that's going to be an interesting conversation.

>>26648600
Breakfast. Start the day off right. Awkward small talk with whats-her-face, the love interest.

And keep an eye of the 'airy' blond chick.
>The remaining student, the blonde airy girl blinks slowly. "Ah. I see." Having said that, she reaches out to shake the Masked Man's hand.

She either knows something important, or is crazy enough to pretend she does. Whichever, she needs a dose of McTerrorCastle charm.
>>
>>26648634
>>26648633
>>26648630

You decide to take a shower followed by a quick breakfast. You grab a towel, a spare robe, and head down. You're a little surprised to find Jaqul is actually making some breakfast - just some bacon, eggs and sausages. He nods at you, Lutharius and Drazeen sitting at the table waiting for him. "Want some?" He asks you, holding up the pan.

"Sure. Just gotta take a shower first."

The shower's are empty, and the water is heavenly, steaming against your skin. Cleaned up, you dry off and get dressed, heading out to the kitchen to grab a plate of bacon and eggs. "So what are you doing today, Castle?" Jaqul says quietly. He gives you a pointed look - you think he wants to know if you're heading to the Fifth Circle.

"Got to do an experiment with Magister Pythianne." He nods, before nudging Lutharius. They're probably heading off they're later under another spell.

When breakfast is over, it's 10:30AM. This gives you about an hour and a half to get ready for the experiment... or just do whatever.

>Actions?
>>
>>26648634
>>26648627

These.

>Jaqul is missing from his bed.

What the hell does this motherfucker get up to when we're not around?

Maybe he's just a bookworm like us.
>>
>>26648720
Read our new book on dealing with devils.
>>
>>26648720
Masturbate so we don't get an erection when we see Pythianne naked.
>>
>>26648720
Meditate to focus our powers. Try to clear our mind. If we can make meditation a habit, it might have some minor bonus to magic, and we could probably get some other people doing it with us, for that sweet sweet socialization.
>>
>>26648720
Read 'The Ambitious Guide to Devil Summoning' for one hour, then head on over to Magister Pythianne's office.
>>
>>26648720

Could you list our available books for us? I'm forgetting some of them.

I feel like the one the librarian gave us for astral projection/protection while traveling wasn't used as much as it could have been. We skimmed for info, but skipped over the guy's ramblings and biography. And we didn't learn anything about protecting ourselves.

I don't think that librarian would steer us wrong; all evidence points to him being one hell of a book-expert. I say we go back and reread the more personal sections.

I do want to read the new book on demon summoning, but it isn't an immediate concern.
>>
>>26648762
This
>>26648758
...

Also this
>>
>>26648720
Summon Bowie and ask him about the organisation we just joined.
>>
>>26648758
>Don't get boner
>She notices
>Get gaybestfriendzoned
>>
>>26648758

But what if we don't finish before the experiment? The we could have a boner right on arrival!
>>
>>26648758

How old are we, 15? Perfectly natural, healthy reaction for a boy our age.

I'm sure she'll be flattered, if she cares at all. Honestly, I don't think she's the type to give a fuck.
>>
>>26648769
During our next time skip we should definitely read all the books we have thoroughly.

Our books are listed in the pastebin.
>>
>>26648758
This... just came so out of left field.

I get it, our teacher is hot... but really?
>>
>>26648769
>>26648762
>>26648747
>Sorry, was updating the charsheet with the new books.

You decide to read 'Dealing with Devils'... and maybe masturbate later. You're tempted to Summon Bowie later, but you think you might want to keep your strength for the Experiment.

>Roll 1d100 to read Dealing with Devils.

>>26648845
I laughed when I saw it, but that's classic 4chan right there.

For the record, I say we don't jerk it. We need our energy up for the experiment.

We've absorbed a lot lately. Let's think on summoning, on force magic.

As an aside, while that one Force Dude back in the secret clubhouse was kind of a faggot, he'd be the sort of faggot that would always defend us and be eternally loyal if we befriended him.

You head over to Pythianne's office, taking the time to hide your books under the pillow. The others have already left, and your trip is uneventful, save for watching the Archmagister walk by... completely naked. He's chatting animatedly to Magister Gareth about something, who seems to be doing his best not to look down. The Archmagister, for the record, has nothing to be ashamed of.

Averting your gaze, you briefly mumble 'I know you're watching' under your breath to try and frighten the Fifth Circle or just, well, get back at them.

You make it to the Summoning Chambers with thirty minutes to spare.

Maybe Pythianne is the leader of the Fifth Circle.

Maybe the wizards don't like having their magic regulated.

Maybe they're trying to break out of this little academy that substitutes as a state prison for the most talented mages.

You think briefly about your Waltz with the Hanged Man before deciding thinking about it too much will hurt your head.

You knock on Pythianne's door, letting it swing open automatically.

She's leaning over an unfurled scroll, talking to another Magister... Lyssa, you think her name was. The Magister of Abjuration.

"Oh! You're early? Eager? I know I am!" Pythianne waves at you enthusiastically. Magister Lyssa is a tall, willowy woman with a stern face. "I know. You wouldn't stop telling me all about it last night, Pythia. Now please pay attention! I need to know what Rune to use in the Outer Buffer Ring."

They appear to be designing a Magic Circle.

Ask if there's anything you can do to help. When they inevitably say no, put all focus into watching carefully.

Also, Abjuration sounds like a good 3rd school if it helps protect us while we're summoning or traveling.

You know you aren't very good at Abjuration, but you ask if they need help anyway. "Oh! No, no, we're fine. Use the Force Rune, but invert it along the Meridian... like that, see? It'll counter-act anything that slips past the Moon Rune."

You settle in to watch them for the last thirty minutes. They certainly know what they're talking about. A lot of the runic arrays are too complex or advanced for you to understand their purpose, but you do pick up on a little bit.

Now that they're done, Lyssa draws the circle out on the floor, and gestures for both of you to sit in it.

"Ready?" Pythianne says cheerfully, bouncing her chest unintentionally.

You look her in the eye. Your ready.

She takes your hands in hers, and begins the Spell. It's a little different from what you remember, but you imagine that's because it's taking two people along for the ride.

You feel yourself begin to slip, the familiar feel of falling through paper sheets. Eventually, you land on soft sand. You are definitely naked again, face down in the soft black sand.

You begin to hear a melody. Slightly discordant, it carries with it a tone of... sadness? You finish your fruit, licking some of the juice of your finger idly and turn to face... where'd she go? She's gone. You whirl around. The tree is gone.

Shit. This isn't good. What's happening?

The sand is still. The sky is blank. A single white moon stares down at you, no stars to keep it company, no clouds to hide behind.

We went with the experiment, we ate the fruit, and we found a creepy entropy thing/person. It's time to dance a dance that destroys all loneliness and makes us the best of friends.

"W҉e̕ h̛a͟ve ̷a fr̴i̷end.̨.." It seems a little unsure, as if it doesn't really believe what it's saying. Deciding to take control, you begin humming to yourself and begin to dance with it.

The dance is slow, almost mournful, and at some point you're fairly sure the thing is humming the song back at you.

The dance is slow but... intense. As you move, you can actually see it shift and change... taking on a more... concrete form. It's shoulder's square, the sky-cloak-cloth tightens, it's face defines itself.

You're dancing with... someone now. Human in shape and proportion, roughly the size of yourself, if a bit thinner. It looks almost like a mummy, wrapped up in cloth so that only the blank white eye is left to stare at you.

"You ̶as͟ke͢d ̧f͘ơr̶ ́o͝ur ҉name͝." It says suddenly, looking at you. The dance has stopped, and the music is gone.

"I did."

"Oblitus Luna." You say suddenly. It looks at you, curiously. "Your name is Oblitus Luna, the Forgotten moon. You have a name now, one that I will not forget." The cloth shifts a little, and the eye... eye is a bit more defined. You can see a pupil now, it's iris a strange inky black. "...Ob͢l̕i̵tus͜ L͜una҉." It says, testing the word.

"Oblitus Luna." It's voice is clear now.

"... We are Oblitus Luna."

It's body defines itself further. It's... it's not clear if it's male or female. If it has a gender at all for that matter. What is clearly though, is lean, wrapped tightly in the cloth, sole eye staring at you. "We were forgotten but are now remembered..." It murmurs, looking at it's hands.

"We can remember now." It looks up at you.

It looks at you, nodding. "We watched. We always watched. We tried to remember as best we could, but we could not. Not alone." It holds it's hand out, a gnarled tree springing from the ground. It has a piece of the luminous 'fruit' on it. "We could not remember. Others could remember for us. We learned. Fragments. Pieces. We existed but we did not know how."

"How can we tell you eternity... when we can show you it?"

It hands you the fruit.

I'll second this.

And Pythianne's theory was so, so wrong.
>>
>>26651123
What was her theory again?

I wonder how Pythianne's doing without us.

The fruits summon entities based on what you hear.

>>26651152

Oh well, hypotheses are made to be corrected.

Once we're done here we'll have our new friend Oblitus Luna help us find her.

You bite into the fruit.

Your vision warps, and your body feels weird.

Your staring into a man's face now. Haggard, with an unkempt beard. He treks across the sand alone. You want to reach out and touch him, but you have no hands. You want to speak but you have no mouth. He treks across your skin and flesh, but it's all you can do to watch him move. You scream out inside but he cannot hear you. He sighs tiredly, looks around and begins to leave. Please don't leave. It's so lonely. Please... PLEASE! He's gone.

The world shifts. Another face. Shaven, male. Old.

"Y... who are you?" He says. You say nothing. Can say nothing. You try to speak but you don't know how. You reach out with a single hand, and stare at it. It's made entirely of sand. "What's your name?" The man says.

You want to speak but you can't. Holding yourself up is hard... you're so heavy and you keep falling apart. "Where are you from?" Where are... you from? Who are you? What are you doing? You can't remember. You should remember... shouldn't you?

The man sighs when he realises you won't reply and begins to walk away. Don't go. Don't go! You try to move after him, flumping into the sand. Moving is hard... you can't remember how.

...even Hairy McTerrorcastle might just get the feels from this one.
>>
>>26651195

Your vision warps. The figure changes. Jasper stands before you, naked as the day he was born. Younger. Not by much. Not that you can tell.

"Hello." He says, holding his hand out. "I'm Jasper." You hold your own hand out. It is no longer sand, not really. It is old and gnarled and worn, like the treewood around you. You have glasses on your face but you don't remember why. They are. You are. What are you? It doesn't matter.

"W̴̕h́͜͡y̶̶̢͜ ̨̀͜͝ḑ̨̕͜o̢̧͢e͏̶̵̛s͏͘͢͡͝ ̵̛̛́ì́t͜ ͏͢͞c̢̡͜ǫ͜͝͞m̢̢̀҉͜e͜͢҉ ̨͏̷͟͡h̷̷̷e̸̶͡҉͏r̶̡͘ę̶̴̀́?̶̨̢" You say. Jasper smiles. "Do you like books? I like books. Books are great." He talks about books and how wonderful they are for a few more moments, before glancing at you once again. "Would you like to help me with my books?" He holds out his hand again. You take it.

Pythianne is shaking your hand. "OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO COOL!" She squees. You stare at her, affronted. She is strange. Unlike the others. Who is she? What is she? "Ş̧͡p̡̢͘̕e҉̧͡a͘k̀͏ ͠͏ǫ̕ŗ͘ ̵͢h͘͞͝͞o̷͞l̕͝͞d̴̀͘͟͞ ̢y͢o͜͏̸͡ù̴̶̧r̢̀͝ ͏̴͠b̷̴̴͘͟ŗ̴́͏e͢͠á͜͞͡t̸̸̢̧͢h҉͏͡,̧͞ ̴͟͠c̢͜͟r͟͡͏͜e̷̴̡͢a̧̡̢͏t͜͞͏͟͢u̡͡r̴̕͜e͜͏̶͜ ̡̧͜o̵̕͠f̴̧͜ ̨͠҉̸̡f̢͟͡ą̶l̢͘͞ş̴͠è̸͟͢͝ ̵̸̡́l̨̧i̵̵f̵e҉͜ ̵҉͘҉͟a̵̢̛͘͢n̨̡͜d̴̶͢͞͝ ̵̨̢͘͡u̴͘ņ͜͡͏d͞͝ȩ̷̀a̢̡̡ţ̷͡͡h̛͠҉̵̀.̢҉"

"I'm... I'm gonna call you the Vizier! I'm Pythianne!" She bounces in her spot. You think she is strange. But she comes to talk to you a lot. That's nice. It's nice to talk. Sometimes you forget how. You want to ask her to stay, but you can't. They will leave you. They will always leave you. They left you. It's why you're here.

>cont.
>>
>>26651311

Your hanging. Swaying. A strange man stands on the sky. He's new. Is he? He is. You like him. He's funny. You'd forgotten how to laugh. You ask him to dance again, and then you dance with him. But he cannot dance, not truly. Not yet. It breaks your heart... do you have a heart? No. Yes. Maybe? You must have. Living things have hearts. Are you alive? It doesn't matter. He has to go. Leave you alone.

And you thought maybe... you had a friend.

You gasp, the memories washing over you. Oblitus watches, almost curiously.

>Actions?
>>
>>26651311
>You stare at her, affronted. She is strange.

Yup, we chose the right school alright.
>>
>>26651152

I think it actually they summons memories, the music and conversations where simple triggers, like how hearing a song reminds you of something that happen long ago. The entities are memories or are made of them, their "instability" and incoherence is due being forgotten. No one remembers Oblitus actual name but by giving him one we have a clear memory of him (particularity strong since it just happen) that gave him the strength to reestablish itself coherently.
>>
I have a theory.

What if all the creatures in the plane of entropy are actually the same creature? Visitors project what they want to see onto it, and they all think they've met a unique individual.

>>26651349

fucking confirmed

>>26651349

"...in the name of the glorious McTerrorcastle family, you won't be alone again. Come with me. Together, we will do great things."
>>
>>26651376
>"...in the name of the glorious McTerrorcastle family, you won't be alone again. Come with me. Together, we will do great things."

This, also we need to find Pythianne. Also we should ask Oblitus if he'd like to visit our plane.
>>
>>26651349
"How do I truly dance?"
>>
>>26651349
I think this plane is related to Force magic in some way. Both are entirely reliant on projecting your will onto it.

Let's project our will to manifest a doorway and find Pythianne. And bring Obby with us.
>>
>>26651413
Yeah, we should ask if we could summon him somehow
>>
>>26651349
>Ok. New goal here: We find out how I can turn immortal so I will never have to permanently leave. Obviously the only sensible reaction.
>>
>>26651458
>>26651439
>>26651413
>Asking questions again.
No. Tell him.

"I'm going to bring you to visit the world I live in. That would be nice."
>>
>>26651376
>>26651413
>>26651479

You nod firmly. You understand now. Or at least, you think you do. You hold out your hand. "Come with me." You command. It looks at you unsurely, but grasps your hand with it's own regardless.

A Door. You want a door. You take all of your indomitable will and you bitch slap the Entropic Plane with it. When you open your eyes there's... it's not a door. It's like an archway made of Sandstone. You can see a forest of gnarled, dead trees through them. "HELLOOOOO?" Pythianne's voice echoes through.

>Go in?
>>
>>26651479
This.
But say along with it "but I may need your help getting you there"
>>
>>26651529
Hey Teacher!
I loooove you!
>>
>>26651529
Awww shit, >>26651457 you called it.

>"I'm going to bring you to visit the world I live in. That would be nice."
This should certainly be said at some point. In the meantime let's introduce Luna to Pythianne.
>>
>>26651529
Obviously. Maybe. I think.
>>
>>26651541
The 100 foretold, and as everyone knows, McTerrorCastle must follow the dice.
>>
>>26651529
>Go in?
Yep.
Hey Pythianne, say hi to Obby
>>
>>26651529

'EY TEACH
I looooove you!

The dice hath demanded it.
>>
>>26651349
Anyone have ideas on what the unknowns in our character sheet could be?
>>
Rolled 42

>>26651578

rolling for it
>>
>>26651541
Aye, the dice hath commanded it.
Lets go there with Luna and have a naked group hug.
>>
>>26651582
We were going to Deal with Haztoraxifeliv to find out, but we haven't found any names we're willing to part with yet.
>>
>>26651541
>>26651545
>>26651552
>>26651558

"Come on." You pull Luna through the gate with you, entering the Forest. "Pythianne?" You call back.

"CASTLE? IS THAT YOU?" She's getting a little closer as she shouts. You still can't see her.

"Yeah! I made a friend!"

"YOU WHAT?"

"I made a friend! I'm calling him Oblitus Luna! Say hi!" You can see her, barely, about fifty feet away in the thicket of trees. Luna looks at you strangely. "... Hello." It murmurs.

Pythianne practically cannonballs past some trees to stare at it. "... Oh. My. God."

"Hey Teacher." She looks at you. You grin at her. "I looooooove you." She blinks. Luna does as well.

>Actions?
>>
>>26651630
Oh, and the fifth circle is a group of mages dedicated to learning forbidden magic.

Haha, sorry this is all coming out a once, blame my teenagerness.
>>
>>26651630
My sides are slightly floating.

Go to her? Tell her about how you made your new friend.
>>
>>26651630
So anyway, I'm gonna try to bring Obby with me when we go back. He's been awfully lonely here.
>>
>>26651630
"I believe this is some kind of conscious manifestation of the Entropic Plane, which may or may not be the place things go once they've been forgotten."
>>
>>26651656
>>26651658
Combine these.
Shit, hairy this is funny.
>>
>>26651630
>CASTLE
Dang it why not Hairy?

Anyway, tell her about how we got Luna to be cogent and ask Luna to give her some of that memory fruit. We don't have to tell her how we made the portal.
>>
>>26651630

"Oh by the way, I think you can assert your will over the Entropic Plane. That's how I fond you, Isn't that cool?
>>
>>26651630
>I helped Oblitus remember! Then it shared its memories with me! Also, I think I found out how this plane works! It's like force magic, you just have to change it to your imagination and will!
>>
>>26651684
Couldn't we then just imagine clothes on us...?

Not that we should tell Pythianne that
>>
>>26651656
This, we do still need to tell her, but maybe lets do one thing at a time for now.
>>
>>26651684
>>26651694
Will our fantasies into existence.
>>
>>26651701

We having try yet.
>>
>>26651694
Wouldn't be a bad idea to tell her this BUT at the same time something tells me we shouldn't while we're still here.

Maybe we should ask her about the order or whatever first.
>>
>>26651656
Dude, leave it for once we get out of the Entropic plane. There is such a thing as timing.
>>
>>26651712

We already have Pythianne naked in front of us what else do you want?
>>
>>26651656
>>26651677
May as well go all the way.
And I'm in agreement with everything to do with Oblitus too.
>>
>>26651656
>>26651658
>>26651674
>>26651675
>>26651679

"Man, have I got a lot to tell you." She hugs you, pressing her great, naked bosom against your chest.

"Not now! Wait until we're out of the Plane! Then you can tell me all about it! And your friend! Oblitus!" She breaks the hug to crush Luna against her chest as well. It does not seem to know how to react.

"Ooohhhh, he's so warm and soft and cuddly!" Oblitus gives you a pleading look, still at a complete loss. It does not seem to have remembered breasts just yet.

"Wait! Before we go, I want to figure out how to summon him." Pythianne looks at you, seriously this time, before looking at Luna.

"You'd have to figure that out with Oblitus here."

It looks at you, before pointing at the fruit in your hand.

>Eat the rest of it?
>>
>>26651769
"Whoa, why the rush to get out of this plane?"

Then eat the rest of the fruit.
>>
>>26651769
Yep.
>>
>>26651769
Before we do, tell her about the super secret Mage club.
>>
>>26651769
>CONSUME
>>
>>26651791
Why are you pushing to do that inside the entropic plane so hard? Mask guy already said he doesn't give a shit if we talk to the other magisters about it.
>>
>>26651791
This, we can't be any more secretive than how we are here.
May as well enforce how serious we were about the confession too
>>
>>26651769

Insist that we talk about these things now. This is important.

"Listen, before I eat this - yes, I'm going to eat it - but just listen, magister. Please?"

"Ok...it's like this. I was transported to this pale desert. There was a moon, and for some reason I felt the urge to make some sand angels, and then try to poke it - the moon, I mean. And then it started to move and came down from the sky and reformed into this thing, which explained to me that it couldn't remember any of the things it had experienced but just felt oh so very lonely.

"It didn't have a name, so I gave it one - Oblitus Luna. That's Obby, for short. After I did that, Obby became a lot more real, and was able to remember things. She grew a tree with another fruit, saying that it would show me eternity, rather than waste time trying to tell me. So I ate it, and experienced those memories - and I saw every person that's been to the entropic plane. I saw you. I saw other mages, that traveled here before us. I even saw me, the first time I was here. So you know what? I think all those different beings people have met - I think they're all the same being. That's Obby. Well, it was Obby, and it wasn't, and it -is- Obby. I don't think time means much here.

"Also, do you know anything about the Fifth Circle? The secret club under the tree in the courtyard? It sounds really sketchy and I'm not sure what to make of it."
>>
>>26651810
Because its best not to trust anyone.
To keep it a secret is best.
>>
>>26651816
Duude, it can wait.
>>
>>26651811
We just met her like what, a few days ago?

Granted, we're becoming good buddies... but still, why are you guys so gun-ho about confessing to her?
>>
>>26651830
No time like the present.
>>
>>26651816
also ask if she know if the librarian is a summons or a summoner because he knows what we did last time we entered here.
>>
>>26651769
Time to delve yet again, into the mystery that is Oblitus. THIS SHIT IS BANANAS
And I love it.
>>
>>26651838
What is the present but not the past's future?
>>
>>26651836
She's waifu material. Even her aniki knows it and he already came to told us to keep our act clean.
>>
>>26651836
No time like the present, as another Anon says.
And whyfooism.
>>
>>26651769
Do not mention the Fifth Circle. If the way she acts is real she'd probably tell more people.
>>
>>26651816
>Do this later, when we are back home.
>>
>>26651830

Wait for what? For when? For privacy that doesn't exist back in the academy?

Sure, we can do the whole "trust no one but yourself" thing, but that's boring, and I think it's out of character. Hairy McTerrorcastle puts on a big show, but he's a softie when push comes to shove. He needs a mentor, someone to lean on when things get out of control.
>>
>>26651816
I actually like this idea. BUT, do not tell her where it's at. Bad vibes man.
>>
>>26651785
>>26651787
>>26651807

You bite into the rest of the fruit, chewing it whole.

Knowledge. Circles and runes and words and chants. Hand motions and movements, incantations.

>SPELL LEARNED
>Summon Oblitus Luna
>This spell summons Oblitus Luna to the Material Plane. This Spell has no DC - Binding Oblitus Luna is impossible.

You feel a little woozy. Too much memories being crammed into your head. You look at Oblitus though. "Don't worry. You won't be alone." You turn to Pythianne. She doesn't appear to have reacted at all to your confession.

She takes your hands in hers. You feel yourself returning to the material plane, the knowledge you have learned heavy in your mind.
