House of Keys/Introduction

Update 1/29/20

• Courtyard Cleaned: The courtyard has been properly cleaned of debris and such and is now open once more. Folks will be welcome to appreciate the tile work, flowers, bushes and trees that somehow seem to keep their green year round. (OOC: +hangouts/jump Key House should drop you in the courtyard now. From there just head inside through the big black doors).

Update 1/18/20

• The Lower Levels: After a conversation with a perspective Associate, Marshall heads down to the lower levels to show them the crafting hall. Fully equipped for most construction needs one might come across for nearly any project, the hall seems to have been built or furnished by a more mechanically minded magus; possibly a Child of Ether? Rumor circulating around the House was that the associate was allowed to accompany an important courier mission to Germany and back. Talk about baiting the hook.

Update 1/11/20

• Back in Business: After a few months abroad, Marshall has returned from his basics in Hermetic training. The hall has been mostly empty in his absence with only the caretakers keeping things going while the magi that helped rediscover it went about with their lives.

Update: 4/10/19

• Game of Groans: Cody has a personal loss and finds Marshall in the Lounge. Eventually it turns into a near full Chantry meeting to help him through this troubled time.

Update: 4/8/19

• Meeting Merlin, I mean Menkner: A new visitor to the Traditions Hall, Menkner, Jasmine, Teagan and Marshall discussed the condition of their newly inherited Library.

Update: 4/7/19

• Tea Time: The Kitchenette in the Lounge has been brought back up to snuff. Now there's a coffee maker, tea pot, eletric kettle and a small, mini-fridge tucked away in one of the lower cabinets.
• Let there be Light: Thanks to the electrical wonders of Teagan, the fuses and bulbs have been replaced within the house so people shouldn't be running around in the dark.
• Search: Jasmine is searching throughout the magical community to find those awakened that could potentially assist with our node problem.
• Paper Trail: Marshall discovered a box of old files in the office upstairs. It contained material along three subjects: the building of the house, the dossiers of what are considered the first pledge class of initiates and then files that were encoded. The encrypted documents were obscured with the Enigma Code from the German's in the 1940's. Merek, River, and Jasmine seem to have an idea of what was within their pages.

Update: 4/4/19

• Gaol Gone Wrong: Jasmine and Cody found a big something in the basement that was...hungry.
• Shiney: Teagan, in her efforts to crawl around and not bang her head upon things in the library found a shinything (tm).
• Balance is Needed: At Jasmine's suggestion, three women (Jasmine, Teagan and Lilian) tried to channel energy into the fountain. It didn't end well.
• Unweaving the Woven: Thanks to the assistance of Merek, a series of faulty security wards were unwoven by the Scooby Gang.
• Open for Business: With the security wards dialed down, the building is now open for regular visits. Those people who wish to hangout there and explore the mysteries may do so. More plottage to come.

Update: 4/3/19

• All Gone: Marshall reported that the OTC Society members were 'all gone' and was given a key by a friend who was apparently a member. He discovered that the house was empty and that strange things were afoot at the circle Kay...I mean Key.
• That's Super Dark: Marshall and Jasmine discovered that one of the rooms was nearly drowning in inky, magical darkness. No light would pass the threshold into the Lobby. Jasmine attempted to unweave the magic but it was a bit too slippery.
• Green Gardens: A few other faces showed up to help with the investigation and they discovered that the plants in the atrium weren't just alive they were VIBRANTLY alive; thriving despite their conditions.
• Let's (NOT) Do the Time Warp Again: Cody had to touch something. Yup. He just -had- to touch something. And he got whipped around in time without anything but his athame and his...*ahem* wand. He made it back in one piece and boy does he have a few things to process.
• It's Full of Stars: Not to be one-upped by weirdness, Jasmine decided to look at something she probably shouldn't have looked at with her Etherical sight. We saw her flop to the ground in pain, confusion and possible orgasm. Cody -may- have appeared naked right before or after she collapsed. No connection. We swear.
• Eyes Lead the Way: So who's going to open the hidden door first?
