Mages Guild: Return of the 80s edition

Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order this meeting of the most illustrious Mages Guild!
It has come to my attention that some such forces, negligent wizards or otherwise have torn a rift through the sky into a plane I'm told is called the 'BetaMax Dimension' now this would be terrible as I'm told a plague of spandex, 'Em-Tee-Vee', rubber clothing, bubble parties, and the overabundance of the element 'pink' will soon pour through the portal plaguing our college and the world around it in a never ending nightmare that is 'Ah-Ha'. However, it would seem the cause of this eruption was a very large rainbow that poured out of a 'Snowcano' a volcano that seems to erupt a never ending blizzard of cocaine, and I'll be entirely too busy studying it to be of any help with this impending invasion.

Oh yes, and the rainbow seems to lead to the 'BetaMax Dimension" in the sky, that might be important... Well, goodbye now.

Heres the coffee for the meeting, along with all the notes we have about what resides in the BetaMax Dimension

>looks up from his reams of notes
>sighs irascibly

What in all the mortal planes is this fresh nonsense?

Thank you Mort.

I don't think I'll be taking a ride on that rainbow anytime soon.

>Is dragging Mira to her department, before climbing on his stormcloud.
Maybe there is gold at the end of it?
>The old man begins to study the rainbow.

"Thanks."

>Takes a look at notes

"Haven't been to this dimension yet.... Might be worth checking..."

"Cmon, it might be fun."

"That would be reason enough, actually."

I say, weather wizard! Do you think it would be possible to capture the taste of the rainbow into little pellets of compressed sugar? Think of the coin the Guild could make!

How about no. I very much don't want to see what it does to my hair and clothes.

Well, I could fly and check. Just need something to communicate.
>Begins to smirk.
How high do you want your precentage?

That depends on the rainbow. We should check where it leads before doing such a thing. Could cause accidents in the finished products.

It should be noted that the information is very spotty, as studying of the BetaMax dimension halted some years ago as a result of an undisclosed incident

>Halfway up the rainbow bridge in hir tricked out jetcycle
>Engine roaring, hot flames jetting from the exhaust

>The sky flickers with scanlines, the electric snow of the maw roars with static.

Was this the same incident that involved the short-lived Glamomancy department? It sounds like it would be.

"Psh. Pussy. Nothing is gained without risk."

"Just one coin, really. I've recently been starting a collection of all things every dimension values."

"Thanks, Mortimer. I was just realizing that. Although this incident could mean something is up..."

Ah, indeed. I shall summon my own stormcloud when you are ready to investigate.

"EY, QUIET DOWN! IM TRYING TO READ HERE!"

It seems so. All information about that dimension was logged by the Glamomancy department

Well, yeah, but things can be gained by having others take risks instead.

Yep, not getting involved then. Glamomancy is bad news.

You have a deal.
>Studies the rainbow a bit more before flying up to his room.
Just going to pack a few things first.

Then Mister. Wait, but a bit. I shall fetch a few of my utensiels and supplies first.
>Packs several flasks into his pockets and flies back into the sky with a toast in his mouth.
On your signal?

"I assume their shtick was to make things look fancy."

"Great. Another one of you 'send someone else to do it' types. Since when have people decided to just sit on their asses doing nothing while others go die for them? Back in my day, sorcerer kings were at the head of every battle, and they got shit done!"

That was the general idea behind the department

>Looking over hir shoulder into the distant blowzard that is the crown of the Snowcano
>Shi squints, thinking to hirself that shi swore shi heard something

I'm a necromancer. I ALWAYS have someone t do it for me.

>waves his staff at the sky
>a dense, dark cloud forms
>he rises atop it

Excellent, I have here a bag of the sugar pellets, let us be off!

"Oh yeah, I forgot you necrophiliacs do that."

>Takes last swig of coffee
>Climbs onto clouds

"Alright, ready."

Necromancer, not necrophiliac!

>teleports into the room wearing a black jacket with the sleeves pushed up, a red shirt with a purple tiger, blue jeans, red and white sneakers, and black shades
What's going on here?

>Nods and begins to fly a bit ahead, along the rainbow.
Do portal accidents like this happen often? I was studying when the catgirl invasion happened.
>Seems to perform a test on the yellow part of the rainbow.

>Dense synthetic fog clouds the sky, laser lights lancing through them.
>Your eyes are clouded by painful glitter and bubbles

What the hell?

>Looks him over

Glamomancy gone wrong. I see they already got you.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Ey, Lurc....What in the name of the infinite dimensions are you wearing?"

>Shields eyes from the glitter and bubbles

"Why did it have to be bubbles? And what is this....Is this glitter? What?"

Catgirls... that reminds me, I have a meeting with that Telvanni man later...
>scribbles note

To be quite honest I have never seen such a thing before. Ugh, it is quite garish...
>dons sunglasses made of darkened ice

What? Oh, yeah, I guess I usually show up through a maw portal, don't I?
Har hard. Very funny mister hot topic.
Clothes from one of the best eras of my life.

Is that so? I heard it happened a lot...
>Attempts to do something about the fog.
>It´s not working.
Anyway, the rainbow seems to be made of music notes.
