Reserves Event Announcement
Hi,
I'm posting to announce a special event for Magic/Support Reserves this Wednesday. People who come to the meeting (or pass by it) and want to play along will be rendered invisible for a few hours of game time thanks to a spell gone wrong. The actual reserves post will go up early in the day for SP, and a post ending the plot will go up late in the evening EST.
In Buffy canon, Tara does a spell to turn demons invisible. She does this because she thinks she's part demon, and she panics and doesn't want her friends to see that part of herself. In Fandom canon, Tara already knows she isn't part demon, but I'm tweaking the spell for this setting.
Tara will lead the Magic Reserves through a demonstration of how she would make magical supplies invisible if she needed to hide them quickly. However, Tara's anxiety about speaking in front of the group will make her subconsciously wish she was invisible too. Because of this (and because of the specific ways magic in the Buffyverse tends to go screwy), she'll end up making all the magical characters in the immediate vicinity invisible.
"Magical characters" is an intentionally broad category -- I'd say it includes anyone who can do magic, mutants, aliens, telepaths, vampires, time travelers, the scientifically or supernaturally gifted, and pretty much anyone else at Fandom who feels like turning invisible for a few hours. On the flip, if someone wants to say a character is immune or can break the spell on him or herself before Tara does because of something about their own powers or abilities, that's also fine.
Characters who are at the meeting and stay visible can help out by assisting invisible people, calming the situation down, and looking for a solution.
People's clothes become invisible when they do, but anything else they pick up after the spell takes place stays visible. If, for example, someone is invisible and puts on a hat to mark where they are, it could stay visible.
I can't think of OCD for this, but if anybody has questions, I'd love to hear them!
