(2204) Consilium

Page 1 of 4 1 2 3 4 Last
  1. #1


    The Circle of Creation is the gathering hub for all Pentacle mages in the Sacramento Consilium, with chapter houses for all five Orders inside.


    Located east of Sacramento and far outside the prying eyes of the inner city, the Circle of Creation awaits the mages of Sacramento. Despite being a replica of the Westminster Abbey, the sleepers who come by never seem to notice it. The wards built into the structure have made sure of this. To all but the Pentacle the Circle is essentially invisible, ensuring the safety of those who enter and engage with one another. Whether it had always been here for the Awakened was hard to say now, but it was the site that the Awakened gather to mingle and discuss official matters.

    Today is for official business. The Awakened gather to announce, discuss, and deliberate on the most pressing issues facing the concilium. In this light the Circle is almost imposing, as it's enormity and importance seem to accentuate the gravity of the issues the Awakened face. Today maybe a day for heated debate and final judgment. For proclamations and newfound awareness. Ultimately though, today is what the Awakened choose to make of it.


    Please read this for information on Consilium, Sanctuary, and the differences. Come here to be Recognized!

    As a reminder, Consilium is the official meeting but business should not be handled until after the first seven days. This is to give everyone a chance to enter the thread without missing anything. After seven days the thread is closed to new arrivals and the official business may commence.

    The Official Concillium meeting always helped Phoenyx believe in a sense of order for the often-chaotic mages of Sacramento. Something that reinforced the meaning of community. It also helped her keep track of her self-appointed charges. To her, the Arrow were shield as much as sword of the Pentacle.

    And her regular attire helped her look the part - back to her scarlet top, loose pants and sneakers. Knives were at her hips and her tough leather trenchcoat covered all, open at the front. She had even added some eyeliner around her dark eyes.

    The First Talon stood at her former usual spot - back to the side wall where she could observe the room, entrance and exit. For now, she waited patiently.

    Corn entered the Circle, dressed in good (but not expensive) clothes of dark color appropriate for the weather. In short, he was dressed like a librarian at a day the mayor would show up for a photo-op.
    "Greetings, Councilor" he said to Phoenyx .

    Shadows grow deeper or seem to reach out, and objects look decayed or rotted. With powerful magic might result in ghostly faces appearing in reflective surfaces, watching those around the mage with stern or angry expressions, the mage might even hear whispers.

    Zeromancer walked in. "Hey Corn " Zeromancer said with a chuckle "It looks like the local library is missing an employee!!" Zeromancer then noticed a new face. Feeling more like himself Zeromancer said to her, "I do not believe we have met, the name is Zeromancer but you can call me Zero."

    Zeromancer looked around some more before having a seat, "Looks like I am fashionably early to this meeting."

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    Official Consilium. The big meeting. Where they would stand or sit around and discuss…nothing. Which could either be a good thing or a bad thing.

    But she’d play along. Deciding since it was spring and the weather was warming up, a white dress would be good. It was comfortable and made her legs look great. Win win in her book.

    Walking in, she see’s that she isn’t the first to arrive. Always a good thing.

    Her free hand is held up in a wave as she sips from an energy drink. “Hey.” She finally greets, offering a smile to everyone. Walking over to stand near Phoenyx, who was wearing…makeup?! “Did I miss anything exciting?”

    The enchanter came to church Consillium dressed nicely. Like she would dress for an important meeting at work. Business casual was as good as it got. Moira didn't have anything super fancy to wear, or anywhere to wear that stuff too. To be fair, she had chosen her profession not just for love of gaming and systems and worlds yet undreamt of, but also because she didn't have to wear heels and all that other bullshit. Fuck that. The only time she had to actually legit dress up was for a release party or the once-a-year-circle-jerk-Christmas-party. That was it! End of list!

    She was happy to have met some of the other mages in the city during Sanctuary before the big meeting. She was a little nervous, but nerves be damned! She could honestly say she was well, curious. Curiosity beat out nerves every time!

    She also remembered Puck's low key, happy go lucky, point out of accountability. Yeah. He was cool as hell about it, but it also meant he meant it. She also doubted anything would top the revelation of a potential Banisher that Corn dropped like a brick last meeting, but hey....

    Moira gave a little happy wave to the folks present and hovered awkwardly in the giant space. Make no mistake, it was beautiful, but goddamn if it wasn't hard to get used to. There was a face she hadn't met yet! She zeroed in on Phoenyx and approached slowly, allowing Zeromancer to get in there and introduce himself first before popping in like the Koolaid man. When she got a chance she smiled and introduced herself. "Hi! I'm Moira!"

    Rails is just kind of there. He arrived at some point. Maybe just after Moira? Hard to say.

    Seems like she's new too. Not a bad thing.

    "Rails," he says, kind of riding on the coattails of her greeting. Or like when you draft a Semi, catching its wind. People say you save on gas. Rails doubts it.

    Holds his hand up, briefly, in greeting to the group. "Crystal told me I should attend. So, you know. Here." Lame. But he doesn't want anybody worrying about the pedigree.

    As always, he's kind of awkward. Evasive. Looking very tired. Above all: forgettable.

    The Arrow inclined her head in return at Corn's greeting. "Magus Corn."

    Then a new face - one that seemed to know Corn already. 'Zeromancer'? That is an unusual shadow name. Dark eyes watching Zero carefully, but her rresponse was postponed by Aurora's arrival drawing a small smile from the rather serious look Phoenyx had worn before. "Hi," she replies. "Not yet. It seems we have had more new members arrive. Those are really bad for you, you know," she adds, glancing towards the can in her friend's hand.

    Then another pair of new faces. Why were they focusing on her? It felt very exposing. She looked from Moira to Zeromancer to Rails and back again. "Hello to you all. I am Councillor Phoenyx of the Obrimos and First Talon of the Adamantine Arrow. Have you all been in the city long?"

    Good timing or fate? Who knew but at the mention of new members arriving Apollo entered the room. Truth be told he didn't know if he was going to attend. His last appearance at the church had not exactly gone to plan and he was unsure if he was recognised by the Consillium or not. He had assumed not, which to him would have meant his attendance was not mandatory. Still, he had spent a great deal of effort moving here and he didn't want to have to move somewhere else. Packing and unpacking boxes was soul destroying.

    He had decided to come dressed smartly, wearing a pair of blue jeans with a brown belt, a stiped shirt, waistcoat, blazer and a pair of brown boots.

    He walked up to the group of assembled mages and gave them all a smile. "Hello everyone."

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    Official business or not, his attire is always tuned on the fashion practical. Blue jeans and a long sleeved shirt tucked at the elbows.
    He makes his way inside, politely nodding to the rest and Aurora, as he reaches for the usual spot.
    "I hope everything is alright", he says to nobody in particular.
