((After much consideration, I have chosen to post the forthcoming Academy log here where you can all see it. It's some interesting and important plot stuff, and I think it's time you got a look at some of the inner workings of the Academy. We won't be revealing the whole of our plans here, but some of the steps towards them may finally be revealed. And at the end of this log, there will be some consequences that effect everyone, so you're warned.

Academy members, as I mentioned on the other comm, we're going to try and keep this log moving, so if too much time passes, you will be skipped.

One last note, Maleficent is recruiting. If there is anyone who thinks it might be entertaining to play an Academy member, get in touch with me, and arrangements will be made.))

When: The appointed time
Where: A cavern deep beneath the earth, location undisclosed
What: A meeting that will change the fate of the Academy
Who: Maleficent, Tinuvial, Awiergen, Hex

The space had been arranged very specifically for Maleficent's needs. There was a table at the center of the room, upon which rested the Cornerstone of Darkness. Shadows seemed to crawl upon its surface, such that what little light filled the cavern seemed to be devoured by it. Only a faint green illumination remained, scarcely enough for the Academy members' face to be visible. In front of it, four black stones the size of a fist rested, each every bit as black as the Cornerstone itself.

Maleficent stood behind it, her pale hands resting gently on the table, her expression enigmatic. "So, you have all chosen to join me tonight."

Hex wasn't one to be easily surprised.

However, there are certain exceptions to every rule.

"Well, that was was... unexpected." She said. It practicaly echoed in the silence.

As usual, Maleficent proves to be on a whole other level than me.

Forcibly removing one's own Heart? Even with a pre-planned ressurection, that was a bit further than she was willing to go.

"So, no time like the present. The Black Queen's been sacrificed. If we don't follow through, we're not even going to be able to get a Check."Chess termsWell,considering who leads us, it's not a bad example. The fact that Hex was just as curious about what was in that book as anyone else in the room was not the driving force behind her desire to get started.

Although it was certainly a contributing one.

"So, what's in the new playbook?"

"Yes, what is in the book?"

There was a snap of fingers and the space by Awiergan's face lit with an orange flame. While she appeared collected, inside she was seething. That brat? Really? She'd be lying if she didn't admit having ambitions of her own, but that sucking up little-

Letting out a small sigh, she moved closer to the other two. At least with Maleficent gone she could still see Eli. Oh, she'd be careful at it; didn't need their wondrous new leader tattling when Maleficent came back.

In a manner of something near reluctance, Tinuviel peered into the book, hiding its pages from the others' view. Rightly so, as the first instruction she read was to do just that.

"... We're to find and destroy her Nobody," she said. "Maleficent's," as if it wasn't clear. "Her heart has already been sacrificed, so freeing the other half will bring her back to us." She eyed Awiergan pointedly, well aware of their rivalry and how this all must irritate her.

"... Our boss doesn't do easy orders, does she?"

Finding the damn Nobody is going to be a hassle in and of itself. If she decides to put up a fight, well, I may be shit out of luck. I don't have any combat magic worth a damn right now.

She let out a long breath, before putting on a cheery smile.

Ah crap, they're giving each other the Angry Eyes again.

"Well, at least it's simple." Let's try distracting them with work, and hoping that they're willing to wait until it's wrapped up before the spell slinging starts. "Any ideas where to start looking?"

"How about castles belonging to other people?"

It was a snarky answer and Awiergan knew it, but at the moment she didn't feel all that inclined to help Tinuviel.

If you don't, it's gonna come back to bite you in the ass, which bites me in the ass. Which means-

"Oh all right." She hissed angrily. What was she doing listening in anyway? She thought she'd taken care of that, at least for tonight. She was going to have to wipe her memory of this little event when it was over.

"Maybe her Nobody would end up back in Enchanted Dominion?"

[malumsomnium.livejournal.com]

She looked at them both, thoughtfully.
"That is a possibility, Awiergan." The acknowledgment was made with no sign of spite. "Another one is that Margaret's personality will be dominant. If that happens, there's a good chance she'll approach the Refugees. That would actually be the easiest way to find her..."
She held the book shut and ran a hand over its cover, almost reverently.
"Hex, since your movements are not as restricted, I'll want you to do the majority of searching worlds like the Enchanted Dominion and Mirror Earth. Awiergan, we shall arrange a system that will be most manageable for us without distressing the Refugees to the point of interference."
