Mysterium, the Ivory Tower

While you're perusing a fine old tome of secrets best left unsaid and magics sweeter than fine wine, a small parchment envelope -- possibly unnoticed, possibly previously nonexistent -- slips out between two pages and into your hand. The envelope is smooth, almost silken, and ever so slightly warm to the touch. Upon opening it, you withdraw a smaller slip of sharply creased parchment with a scent like the leather binding of an ancient tome. In an immaculate professional script, it reads:

 

"Hi!

 

"You probably don't know me, but I know of you. I know that you're a mage of no small talent, and I know that you want to learn more about the Aether. I know that you're looking for others who can truly understand the pulse of the world and for whom magic is a calling. You want a place where magic theory isn't synonymous with 'naptime'.

 

"If I'm right about you, you want to know more. We want to know more about you, too! Come to our office just outside Limsa Lominsa and knock thrice. Say the Mysterium sent you.

 

"We'll be waiting!"

 

On the back of the parchment, where you're sure there was nothing before, is a map to a building just outside the city with an "X" marked "Mysterium, the Ivory Tower." Will you seek to learn more?

 

((See the other tabs for additional information!))

Consider me reporting for membership. I'm not sure if I should send you another PM, since we discussed the FC earlier today.

[FreelanceWizard]

*waves hi* We're good. I think in your case, given that Kevaraan and L'yhta have already interacted via the forums, we can probably circumvent a lot of the IC interview. I'll drop you a PM with some ideas I have in that regard.

[Shizuno]

I'm reporting as well. I'm pretty sure I was involved in the discussion too! >.<

 

(The discussion about forming a mage's LS, that is. Not the IC one)

[FreelanceWizard]

Awesome! I'll be in touch. We might be able to do the IC interview part via PMs or forum posts pre-game, so I can toss you a linkpearl once P4 starts.

[Shizuno]

Sounds awesome to me!

[Flamel Eldgamel]

Please please please, tell me L'hyta invited Flamel after their meeting! If not, I'm signing up now! Also, I'm only available for the linkshell. Approve of me oh ivory tower!

[Havoc Snow]

I'd be interested in joining the LS as an associate of some sort, though my obligation to the Blades would prevent me from completely joining it.

[FreelanceWizard]

Rockin'.

 

I've sent PMs to all of you to discuss how to get you into the Tower.

 

Anyone else who's interested, our doors are open, as is my PM box. A website, including forums, the Code of the Magi, and more is coming very soon.

[DeMontalia]

I too will be availing myself of some of that quality RP at low, low prices!

 

Happy to be co-opted into another one of FW's schemes.  

 

Excited about the swift responses interest!

[Claris]

Color me interested!  I've been waiting for a group like this. 

 

Still brewing up my character.  I have my character from 1.0 but never played her beyond 8th level conjurer, nor roleplayed her at all.  She's almost a clean slate.  Luckily I have the basics down, save for appearance.  (Curse you, character generator.)

[FreelanceWizard]

Awesome. Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions, want to bounce ideas, or want to discuss joining up in more detail pre-forums. *nodnod*

[FreelanceWizard]

Right-o: the web site is up. Anyone I've already talked to doesn't need to put in an application, unless of course you just want to do so.

 

The forums are fairly bare at the moment, but you can find our charter there as well as the Code of the Magi mentioned in the informational post. I'll be adding more information in the next few days.

[Raccoon]

I suppose I should pipe in here. I'm currently in as an officer (I accept bribes) and I plan on putting a character in. So... hope to see you there.

[FreelanceWizard]

I just updated the post heavily to link back to our forums and reduce the number of tabs. Our doors are still open for mages of all levels of experience! Also, if you're a new RPer, don't let our "heavy RP" designation throw you -- we'll help you with your character and drag you into our character-driven RP.

[Shizuno]

Just letting you know here that I have applied on the Mysterium's proper site.

[FreelanceWizard]

Another update! After speaking to some members, I've decided to open the concept up a little bit. If you're a character who's not a mage, but has a connection to someone in Mysterium (or wants to create such a connection -- the bar isn't very high to be a friend of L'yhta's, for instance ), you can join as a Fellow. So, if you were hesitant about joining because you were going to be playing a Disciple of War, Hand, or Land, hit me with a PM and we'll see what we can work out.

Dibs on the hammock above the Tower's chocobo stable.:bouncy::chocobo:

[Dromwald]

This looks really good. I think I'll pop over to the official website - time I threw my wizard's hat into the ring so to speak^^

[FreelanceWizard]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to see you there.

[DeMontalia]

It is great to see all the interest!

I look forward to RPing with everyone.

*your linkpearl crackles to life as an incoming message arrives.  A quiet, shy sounding voice greets your ear.*

 

He...Hello?  I hope you can hear me.  My name is Karhu, and I have submitted my application for your review.  I hope to speak to you soon.

[FreelanceWizard]

We'll be in touch!

I'm planning on having a 2nd character to cover the magical side of the classes while Phae'ra here takes care of the physical side. Your group seems rather interesting. Once the game is out, perhaps we could have a little chat.
