Mortal+/Theme/Hobbyist Cliques/Mind’s Eye Society/Theme

 The Mind’s Eye Society is about community, about finding a place to belong in a frightening world, and maybe being able to make it a better place. Secrets are dangerous things, and you either seek to rob them of that power, or use it to carve safety out of the monolith of the unknown. They seek to bring light to the darkness, and embrace the security that brings.

 Maybe you’re just a normal person who saw a real ghost, or a no-shit monster. Unlike other humans, you didn’t look away. You poked and prodded, found things others don’t care to know, maybe even sought out one of the strange things you saw. Regardless, now you know it’s real, and on some level, you can’t look away ever again. And now that curiosity has brought you to Shelf Indulgence. The Society can sate curiosity like you wouldn’t believe, even guide you to power if you have the gift, and they’re willing to share in exchange for loyalty and willingness to be part of their group.

 Maybe you’re more than mortal. Perhaps you have strange powers, or are something not entirely human anymore. An oddity, you are in many ways at least partially estranged from the mundane world and its mindless ignorance. For you, the Mind’s Eye Society is a community, a place where others who understand you exist. Even if they aren’t exactly the same kind of weird that you are, the other more-than-human members can share experience and empathy. On top of that, you can test yourself, find your limits, maybe even find out how your abilities really tick, and for you, knowing who you are is a lot more complicated than it is for other people.
