[IC] A Community of Witches and Warlocks OOC: High Free/ Low Casual

[Dreamcaster]

Dom watched the movie and looked at the servant. There was something oddly significant about the way he said that. "Yes, I am."

[Aisling]

"Good. please follow me to the elevator." the servant spoke softly.
Once they were in the elevator, the servant once more spoke

"Have you learned anything about yourself yet?"

[Dreamcaster]

Dom frowned as she contemplated. "I'm not entirely sure. But I might be on to something."

[Aisling]

"Is it hard to figure out what you have learned so far?" the servant asked as they arrive at the floor.

[Dreamcaster]

"A bit," Dominique admitted. "But, it shouldn't be too hard. Thank you," she added as the elevator stopped.

[Aisling]

"You may choose a room here that is not already chosen. Two other Initiates are here. Think on your answer. Put it in your diary. Enjoy your stay.
The first step to Enlightenment is Self Discovery." The servant spoke as the door open.

[Dreamcaster]

"All right." Dom walked around, finally choosing a room and walking in. As she set her stuff down, she thought about herself, whether she had noticed anything about herself, any changes, anything remarkable. After some thought, she typed in her personal diary, I think I might be brave. Coming here all alone, not sure what I'm doing, but setting aside my fears and worries and doing it anyway. That's bravery, isn't it? She looked down at what she wrote, and felt satisfied that she had an answer.

You sit down to read what was in the Personal Diary. Two new folders appeared on the screen, Personal Entertainment and Introduction to Living Arrangements. You open the Personal Entertainment Folder first. Then Answer the following questions:
What three items do you wish to have for entertainment?
Next you opened the Introduction to Living Arrangements folder.
Choose what kind of decorations that you wish to have in your room from the list below.
1) Color and type of sheets, quilt, pillows: IE: green flannel
2) Bedroom rug type:
3) Darkening or regular bedroom curtains and color:
4) Bathroom towels and wash clothes:
5) Name tag color and name color:
6) Anything else?:

Inside was a full size bed with no sheets, a desk, a chair, a dresser and a dressing table. A bathroom was off to one side. A bathtub/shower combination was inside. You began to look round the room. You see two closets in the room, opened the first one and it was a normal closet. The second one was strange though. It had an elevator door but there were no buttons. By the door is a key on a lanyard.

(ok fine with me)
Dresden thought about this for a bit. Then said "Yeah when it starts is a good thing to ask." Dresden started typing and continued "I'm gonna ask him why he wanted to start this island? Plus I'm interested on how he afforded all of this because this is amazing."

[Dreamcaster]

The rest of the day off? Cool. She smiled a bit, amused sat her own reaction. She was like a school-age kid that had a snow day. But then, whenever she got a day off from work, she was happy too. She never really did get days off work. After some thought, she typed in her personal diary, I think I might be brave. Coming here all alone, not sure what I'm doing, but setting aside my fears and worries and doing it anyway. That's bravery, isn't it? She looked down at what she wrote, and felt satisfied that she had an answer. Then, she stretched out on her bed and waited for the items to be delivered to her cart.

[Aisling]

Soon on Molly's and Dresden's Personal Diary.
I see that the two of you have been thinking. That is very good. The classes have already begun. The first class is to understand yourself. All of your classes are called Enlightenment. Each set of classes are called Steps to Enlightenment. Here are the first three steps.
1) Discovery of yourself through a questionnaire.
2) Exploring your answers.
3) Meditation

The money for this project was given by many donors. It was created to see if man could isolate themselves from the outside world. Many lost interest in what their money was going to. A predecessor left all of the money in a trust fund and it is carefully managed. We also sell many things that we do not want or need. We make many things for the outside world but rarely import anything. There are few people that wish to live here but yet are not ready to be students of Enlightenment. At the moment there are only three here, the two of you plus one who just came today.


Molly nodded as she read the answers. At the moment she could only think of the next instruction session.

"When are we going to answer the next set of questions?" she typed into the Personal Diary.

You may begin when all of your questions are finished.

[jorthon]

Dresden thought about the answers given now and the questionnaire they were given back on the boat. He then wrote one his personal diary asking 'Was that first questionnaire part of the first class?'

[Aisling]

The set of questions that you answer when you were given the your Personal Diary was the beginning of your classes. When you are ready and done with your asking of questions, you will be given your next set of questions. You will doing a new class today as well as your first class. As you progress through the various classes you will be gaining Enlightenment.That is why the classes are called Steps to Enlightenment. The First Step of Enlightenment is Discovery of yourself through a questionnaire. The Second Step of Enlightenment is Exploring your answers.

[jorthon]

Dresden thought for a few moments then looked at Molly. He asked her "Do you have anymore questions? I have asked all the questions that I have now. So if your all done we should get started with the second class.

[Aisling]

((Dreamcaster- you just check your closet to find a cart. An unknown NPO delivers it))

"I can't think of any more at the moment so I am ready to move on." Molly spoke as she typed.

You may study and do most classes where you feel the most comfortable. Do you mind if a second person join your group? You may answer after you answer the set of questions. Here is your next set of questions.
18) Will you be able to leave behind all of the worldly things that you know:
19) What things would be impossible to leave behind:
20) What would happen if you were to lose everything that you own in the world:
21) What if you could have access to both worlds- one without worldly possessions and one with them, would you be happy?:
22) Who in the world do you need contact with and why:
23) What does money mean to you:

[jorthon]

Dresden looked over the questions that just showed up on his screen. He then answered each carefully and thoughtfully so he didnt forget anything.

18)Will you be able to leave behind all of the worldly things that you know: yes
19) What things would be impossible to leave behind: helping people who are in great need.
20) What would happen if you were to lose everything that you own in the world: I would rebuild from the ground up.
21) What if you could have access to both worlds- one without worldly possessions and one with them, would you be happy?: I am unsure about how I would feel
22) Who in the world do you need contact with and why: No one, I wasnt close to anyone
23) What does money mean to you: Money is an item use too much in the world to show power. It should be used to help those in need. Not show who is better then who.

[Aisling]

Molly began to type her answers
18) Will you be able to leave behind all of the worldly things that you know: Maybe not all but perhaps with a substitute item, I could.
19) What things would be impossible to leave behind: Just my gameboy and books......
20) What would happen if you were to lose everything that you own in the world: The only thing that is logical- start over,
21) What if you could have access to both worlds- one without worldly possessions and one with them, would you be happy?: I would be as long as I don't have to talk to anyone from the outside.
22) Who in the world do you need contact with and why: I have no family left who cares about me so I have no need to contact anyone.
23) What does money mean to you: Just a means to buy what I want and need.


It is time for you to start Enlightenment Step Three. Please meet with the two servants and follow their instructions.

Two servants were standing close be.

"Shall we go and see what the next step is all about?" Molly asked nervously.

[jorthon]

Dresden looked at Molly then at the two servents after reading the meassage about the next step. After a brief moment he turned too Molly and said "Isn't it strange how the servents arent tbere one moment then are tere the next. They must have some way to travel quickly and quietly through the halls." After contemplating this thought for a minute or two. He stood up saying "Oh well I think I've wasted enough time thinking now. Lets see whats next shall we." He then offered his had to help Molly get up.
