A Meeting of Misfits is the first episode of season 23, Misfits and Magic Season 2.
Intro[]
It's been three years, and it hasn't just been three years for all of us. In the world, our world, it has been three years since the events that we last left off with. The Lulling, our holiday moment halfway through your seventh and final year at the Gowpenny Academy, and a lot has changed. Your epilogues spoke to community, spoke to sharing the truth of the nature of magic with the wide world of NAMPs. Still feels bad to say. And in the intervening time, a couple things have happened. At first, no one believed you. No one believed the leaks, the PDFs that were spread, this strange truth that feels like a fad on TikTok, that anyone was capable of magic if they just tried, if they read a little book, if they made a little wand. No one was pulling it off, and then eventually, a couple people figured something out. People started to believe it, and more and more people figured out how to do small bits, cantrips, party tricks, but it was true. Magic was real, and anyone could do it, and there was a segment of the population, hidden, that always knew that. And then something incredible happened a year and a half in, and magic broke. Now, for the regular people in the world, the NAMPs, non-active magical persons, this is an unremarked moment. Nothing changed. Magic was always hard to pull off. It was chaotic, it wasn't understood. But for the wizards of this world, for the people that were raised inside of this, nothing was reliable. All of their lives sheltered away were for naught, because magic could no longer support their admittedly overly whimsical society. So things started to fall apart, and our pilot program, the proof of concept at Gowpenny, moved back. You graduated, or left and never returned, and lived your lives.
