Putting an End to Wanderlust OOC

Once more, Academy City is being targeted by a magic cabal. Those Who Seek the Truth is a cabal with hundreds of members and a history spanning over a century, but even in the magic side, their name is known only by a select few, and their true strength, virtually none.

This is no coincidence. Those Who Seek the Truth, a cult-like cabal whose collective goal is the simple, but never ending desire to acquire yet more knowledge and wisdom, saw any interaction with the outside world as a possible threat to the continuation of their quest, and became completely self-contained.

They focused every bit of power, every last one of their resources, solely into the completion of a 27 year long ritual to tap into Mímisbrunnr, the well in Norse mythology said to grant great wisdom to those who drink its waters, and answer a single question. They have completed this ritual several times.

For the ritual immediately before the last, completed several years after Academy City's founding, they asked a simple question. "What action will grant us the greatest windfall of knowledge?" The answer they received was to "Conquer the bastion of logic and take its fruits for your own." What this referred to was obvious.

And 9 years before the present day, they completed that ritual once more, and asked "What must we do to take Academy City?" Once more, they received their answer. "Call forth Ragnarök, and bear witness to the burning of Yggdrasill. Then, when the flames have died down, claim your rightful places as Lif and Lifthrasir."

They had a goal, and a means to achieve it. From that point, they focused their efforts entirely on the ritual to call Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods that would end the world upon Academy City, so that they could stake their claim upon the new world that would rise from the ashes of the old.

Those Who Seek the Truth have finished their preparations. Cultists are streaming into the city under the guises that they wear in everyday life, as businessman, entrepreneurs, and researchers.

Soon, Fimbulwinter shall fall upon Academy City, and its wyrd shall be sealed.

All participants, please post in this thread! I would like to be sure that all participants are aware that the thread has indeed started, and that you all have had your OPs posted.

Also, taking effect at the time of this post, there will be a five day deadline for you to respond to posts, at which point you will be skipped over, and if that is not possible due to the SS's current circumstances, NPCed.

C.C is requesting to join Wanderlust!

Sure thing, sure thing. Do you already have a reason for Cornelius to be involved prepared, or should we go and discuss one in PMs (preferably forum)?

Yeah discussing it in PM would be for the best, whenever you're free is fine~.

Okay, I should have actually done this a while back, but I got distracted by various things and ended up forgetting it. Ascanius is inactive, having not logged in since July, and no longer a participant in the thread.

Additionally, though this is really just a formality since I'm certain that everyone is aware since he was never even introduced, the same goes for Cornelius.
