After extensive traveling through the lands of Gaymeruhm and triumphantly passing the tests at the tower gates; thirteen chosen Magi wait expectantly in the Great Hall, for the current MAGUS SUPREMO; Boudica The n00bZoR!, to arrive and bring the Council into session.
From beneath the cowls of identical robes the Magi cast each other furtive glances. It is a given that all who have passed into the Tower of Sorcery are gifted Wizards and so; whimsical precedent dictates that the new Magus Supremo should be elected only by demonstration of their arts of persuasion, and that all Magi should remain anonymous throughout the Council, to prevent any one particular Order from gaining an advantage over the others: Breaking of this rule is grounds for dismissal from the Council!
To facilitate communication while the Council is in session, a minion of The Magus Supremo scuttles down the line of 13 Magi - from one shrouded figure to the next - tapping each on the chest with a small glowing wand. As the twinkling lights settle above each Mages' heart, they first assume the shape of letters, and then spectrally shuffle to form the code names by which each Mage shall be known for the duration of the Council, and hence transcribed unto legend. The code names are as follows:
Shinseikhaan
Greyblades
ReenkRoink
Captain Blackadder
pevergreen
Psychonaut
Quintus JC
A Very Super Market
The Flax
Yoyoma1910
777Ares777
Lord Winter
Sigurd
Once all 13 Magi have been so adorned, the chief administrator of the Tower of Sorcery coughs nervously, and speaks thusly:
"Great and powerful Magi - We, your humble servants, welcome you to the Tower of Sorcery and bid you a pleasant stay. While the Magus Supremo commits the rituals which purge her of any further responsibility for the sorcerous welfare of the Lands of Gaymeruhm, we should be pleased to bid you pass through the double doors to your left where you will find our comfortable and spacious Conference Centre Cocktail Lounge. A complimentary glass of Bucks Fizz and voucher for a 10-inch plate for the Eat-As-Much-As-You-Like Cold Buffet await each of you!
Now if I might beg your attention for a further moment or two, in order to highlight some of the safety procedures that should be adhered to at all times duri.... oh!...
....they've gone."
The double doors to the Tower of Sorcery Conference Centre Cocktail Lounge swing back and forth as the last flapping robe signals the end of the stampede of the Magi.
The chief administrator shrugs and claps for a minion,
"Well - I guess they'll all get to know each other while they wait, now go and put a copy of the fire drill procedure in each of the rooms... on the pillows with the mints."
You may begin posting in the thread, but there is no reason to vote, as the act of unspeakable and violent evil which will be done in order to make voting necessary has actually not happened... yet.
