As in Poldark, times are tough.<br /><br />The Catholic one is easiest. <br /><br />Or they are into the occult. It starts as a secret book/ reading club ala the tv series about 2 magicians. ...Mr Strange and ??? And their dalliances with magic change things. ...<br /><br />Or that they are all in a hotel when a supernatural event happens.... possibly caused by the alchemist. ... <br /><br />They assist the alchemist in saving someone's life with magic.....<br /><br />?<br /><br />Good luck. Better to brainstorm over beer! ;)BenTheFerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760136651496176499noreply@blogger.com
