Popular Post Prefonteen Posted November 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) We all grow up with fantasies and dreams; with age old stories and myths about dragons, giants, talking animals, wizards and witches. As we grow up we are taught by our peers and by reality that they are no more than figments of our collective imagination, passed down from generation to generation. As our dreams of encountering the enigmatic forces of the fantasy world die, so does a small part of us. The small part that believes that anything is possible- that the world is but the setting for a never ending adventure staged solely for the innocent mind to live out these stories. Imagine being told about all these fascinating, inexplicable forces as a child, and learning that they do not exist. But just as you are about to find peace with the reality that the world is a shade dimmer than you had hoped, all that you thought you knew about reality comes crashing down around you. Your childhood folly comes dancing back to life as you are confronted with the revival of the very fantasy you had written off as the dreams of an imaginative kid. Yet here it is. This time real. Beckoning you. That small part of you; the piece of your soul of which you barely knew you'd lost it, comes dancing back to life as you process the realization that your world just permanently changed. Imagine having the ability to brew love potions or make objects levitate. Consider the prospect of altering the weather or making things grow. Think of the endless possibilities that come with being able to harness and manipulate the world around you as the protagonist in the stories you once secretly read from under your blankets did. Is this your opportunity to *become* the hero from the books? The thought is both electrifying and terrifying. The whirlwind of thoughts stemming from the notion that such an abstract thing as 'magic' exists may feel paralyzing. Imagine waking up the night following this grand revelation as an eleven-years old muggle-born boy with your bags packed. You are embarking on the scariest and most thrilling adventure of your life. The siren's call of the unknown has convinced you to heed the message delivered to you by an owl in the middle of the night and to leave your safe home-environment to explore this new reality alongside a complete stranger who proclaims to be a wizard. As you pace your way towards the station, a single tear trickles down your cheek. Fear, grief, excitement? You can't discern. Imagine being on your way to what feels like a non-existent destination to become something you still aren't sure exists. But with every step you take, the glimpse of hope and desire which was awakened inside your heart the moment you read the all-encompassing words that set you on this journey grows. Your insecurity fades and is replaced by anticipation. Your steps speed up. Your heart begins to race. Before you know it, you are sprinting down King's Cross station at an ungodly hour while your eccentric caretaker chases you under grunted protest. Imagine being told to run headfirst into a wall by a man you barely know, so you can continue your journey towards a magical school. Imagine being insane enough to follow those instructions, only to end up somehow running through the wall and ending up at "platform 9 3/4". It makes you wonder if insanity is now the norm. You are picked up for a transit which challenges everything you have ever known, and arrive at your destination; A gigantic structure made up of marvels untold with inhabitants who are anomalies in their own right. Before you move on to meet whatever awaits you, you look down at the piece of paper clasped in your hand. Now imagine all of this being real. Because it is. Magic exists. Hogwarts exists.

I'm loving the announcement, nicely done Partisan. o/ Quote "They say the secret to success is being at the right place at the right time. But since you never know when the right time is going to be, I figure the trick is to find the right place and just hang around!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Kastor> He left and my !@#$ nation is !@#$ed up. And the Finance guy refuses to help. He just writes his !@#$ plays. <Kastor> And laughs and shit. <Kastor> And gives out !@#$ huge loans to Arthur James, that !@#$ bastard.

hidude45454 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If magic exists then why hasn't Hogwarts stolen Pantheon's bank yet? Also, 15 city limit? That's both higher than TEst's, and also suggests NPO's going to have to do a lot of reaching to protect you. In all seriousness though, Partisan in gov + cool flag = good alliance. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackAnimal Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If magic exists then why hasn't Hogwarts stolen Pantheon's bank yet? Why do you think Partisan joined Pantheon? Quote Mans two modes of existence can be thought of as his light and dark side. He is either the Protector or the Ravager. The Immovable Object or the Unstoppable Force.
