    Nimbus:
    A flowering of wildflowers accompanied by their scent and the sounds of a calm wind dancing over the sea. The more vulgar the spells, the meaner the magic the stronger the winds, the flowers blooming only to quickly decay and spread the scent of death with them.
    Appearance

    Standing 152.4cm tall, her hair color changing on a regular basis, usually braided but not always.

    Her body seemingly quite petite and small but upon closer inspection so is it unexpectedly sturdy, her left arm well trained with more defining muscles than her right arm.

    Rarely seen without an armguard and archer glove on her left hand.

    Each and every movement always precise, rarely if ever wasting any more effort than needed to achieve her desired result.

    Nodding towards the returned interim councilor.
    ”Oh you have never had Plăcinte la tigaie? Now that is delcious.” Hey that she could bring next month.

    Eyes focused upon her councilor.
    ”With another ready to take over that works yes, my main concern lies to keep the potential issue of a prisoner that is let go.” Taking a breath. ”If they get an understanding of it and who kept it up, and later on joins or just gets information taken from enemies where we have one of a group taken in. So can they decide to target that person, it is not an immediate danger but not taking such a threat into account can come back to bite us.” Over analytic perhaps.

    Wait that created an issue though.
    ”Hey Chambers, considering a constant guard, do we have any history or plans set for how to deal with that during our quarterly meetings?” Looking over towards Aurora to see if they had that solved in the past to her knowledge. ”I would agree, a proper dead zone, strong reinforced materials, added with our already potent wards would leave any escape to basically be due to our error.” The human factor there but far lower.

    Grinning with a look towards her fellow arrow, always happy to praise his medical skills.
    ”No kidding that he is, we encountered a one in 50.000 condition and he knew it instantly. I have seen doctors stumped by a one in 10.000 and he had no issue with a far rarer one.” Which one she spoke of though did not need to be named, they both should know that.

    ”Or you can find lists done by others, a lot of people make public lists with thematic names.” Made it easy, not always good but it was a path to find music. Starting to nod her head towards the red headed woman, finding her beat with a brief shift to song.
    ”And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger.” Shifting her singing voice over to a playful speaking tune. ”Not much into fitness myself, hardly been to the gym lately.” Having no desire to make the jest anything but obvious. ”I did just make an open offer if you wanna change that. Nothing like two three training passes a day.”

    Nodding to the question not really hers but she was the one whom had snuck down to Corns area.
    ”He stayed there, drove him mad, he was wasting away, had to struggle to try and force him to eat as well as remain.” But no locks on him and he had fallen victim to his own mind and left.

    Hmm, needing a second to think of her fellow arrows words.
    ”Perhaps that is how many sees it, however I do not want to place songs and media together like that. Much like how a movie and a documentary is not exactly the same, so is there music for the things you speak of and music meant to hold meaning and depth. To make us see, think, revolt or break down social constructs. At the same time music is also a form of living history, but that can also be said for most media.” But hey punk, long live punk. ”That was beautiful, never underestimate the power of song.”

    Looking towards the sole Provost in the room.
    ”Disparing how easy various arcana can make any kind of none magical lock we can think of so wager how hard you want it to be for us to access as well. Secondary mechanisms, paracentric keyways, magnetic stuff. Then depending on how hard we want to go so adding additional electric passage, or if we want to lessen the humane employment of various delirious gases should tampering or force be detected. Should one person alone be able to open it, else you can set up methods that requires multiple in set time methods lest it resets unless they can somehow brute force it which can be nearly fully negated unless someone comes in with very dangerous materials.”

    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.

    Looking thoughtful for a moment, then to Chambers, “What about scrying on the cells? With round the clock observation being needed, if we were not able to get cameras, scrying is always an option. Say someone had to step away for whatever the reason, they could call someone who had the ability to scry, they open a window and keep watch until someone else is able to be there physically in person. So we have options.” They just needed to use them if it came to it.

    As to below the Circle, “I haven’t been down there either, so it would need to be explored. But it’s something to keep in mind. I mean, what is down there? Might be worth looking into someday when we don’t have twenty different things going on.” Who knows, might be something good down there. Or bad. Or both!

    Catching Thirteens look, she offers a sly smile, “It’s only coffee, I promise.” The sly smile remaining. “Totally not Irish coffee or anything.” Shaking her head. “Nope.” It totally was. “Pints on me then!” this girl was always down for going out for beer.

    “I just want to make sure the Arrows know I’m willing to assist where I can and guard prisoners if we have any. I might not fight them as much as I’d just put them down for a nap and keep them quiet that way.” Chuckling, that was more her way of dealing with things. If she can’t turn them into fish, make them sleep.

    Nodding, “I think we could all come up with various creative ways to contain someone. Each Arcana offers their own strengths to the matter. I have more I could provide with Life and Spirit; I just recommended ones I know work. But I like that, lets all brain storm.”

    Shrugging, “Yes and no to dispatching Spirits. It depends how you want to dispatch them, some manners of it require the use of other Arcana’s, and a great deal of knowledge in those other Arcanas. But yes, Spirits take a bit of work to get them on your side and to work for you. Though once they do, they are quite the foe.” Now, about the allergic reaction, “Wouldn’t a Life spell be able to handle a simple allergic reaction? We’re able to purge others of toxins, drugs and poisons. An allergic reaction should be covered by that.” And if it wasn’t, then what the fuck were they doing?

    To Skye, “Then isn’t that when we have someone efficient enough in Mind handle that memory?” she asks, “Or if the concern is that great, why are we worried with keeping prisoners anyways and letting them go?” it needed to be said and asked.

    Shaking her head, “I’m not looking to physically fight. That ship has been sailed and I tried to learn, I’m good with what I know.” Phoenyx had tried to teach her, and she was ok with what little she had learned had from.

    The comment on Corn was ignored. Corns own stupidity with Sleepers had gotten him killed, that wasn’t madness, it was stupidity.

    It seemed Thirteen had put a lot of thought into both her efforts and observations, leaving the hierarch with nothing to worry about on that front. A feeling he was finding he often had about the Enchantresses endeavors. She had a growing reputation for being quite reliable. "That all sounds very well done. Good work." Praise form the Moros was hard to earn. "All in all I think the area will be lucky to have you." Now was that genuine compliment or one of his poor attempts at humor?

    However it did seem there was a misconception that needed to be cleared up. "No. The cells are located back there. past the mysterium wing. Not in the labyrinth below." With no reason for most mages to go down that way it seemed plausible they had no wondered down to take a look. "I have no idea if Corn went into the labyrinth but I have not." With so much to do it just hadn't happened. "The locks are pretty standard at the moment. But no cameras would be pointless." Simple logic. "Cameras are no use unless they are monitored, which brings us back to needing constant surveillance, they add nothing." If someone broke out of the cells and circle it magic would track without need for cameras and anyway.

    Asclepius raises a good point. "No Ghosts and spirts are not out of the question. Yes they can be commanded or controlled but so can a mage. If the prisoner is in a dead zone it would make using magic to control and supernaturally employed guards very difficult." It did also bring something else to mind. "Of course we also have the possibility of sleepwalker guards, I know some mages make use of them in their sanctums." Of course that had its own challenges and difficulties. There was no risk free easy option here. "As for your knowledge, I would not expect you to teach without equivalent compensation of course." To be clear he had not been signing the arrow up to give free lectures.

    Skye's question was one she would need to look up if she wanted details. "It has come up before. I recall Corn having some idea that would have murdered every unrecognized mage that came through the door." Which you was far from what they wanted. "As for the locks and security, the more we add the more room there is for something to go wrong. If for example the circle lost power any and all electronics would fail." That was just one example. "It is of my view we keep it simple and robust. Less points of failure." Over complicating something always made it more likely to collapse.

    Aurora had overlooked something. "The circles wards prevent scrying anything inside it. Be that from us or someone else. We can cast out but not in." Pondering for a time. "Now that is not to say we can't use magic in a more creative way. A spell set to cast wit ha conditional trigger for example would alert the caster if the condition was met." They would feel it settle into their spell control. "Something outside the cells so not to be caught in any dead zone we create." That could work, granted it would be a burden on whoever cast it, and need refreshing each time it was set off.

    Shards of a broken mirror, orbiting around her. Each shard reflects images of bad luck: Crows, black cats, upside down horseshoes, cracked tea cups, spilled salt, and, of course, the number 13 (in random colors and fonts).

    When she casts Vulgar magic, the shards orbit faster, flashing dangerously like knives.

    The Enchantress smirked, listening to Asclepius speak of CDs, "Always the downside to physical media, eh? Every album's got a few duds no one wants to hear at concerts." His talk on security measures got her thinking. "If you want to get basic, a security bar installed on the outside of the door is the simplest solution. Just barricade them in. If it's a dead magic zone, they're not pickin' a damned thing."

    Skye's reply and offer had one of her red eyebrows quirked upwards in some vague amusement, "Oh, aye, you definitely look like you've let yourself go, lass. Very out of shape." Then she looked surprised, "Wait, two or three... a day?! Where do you find the damn time?" Thirteen struggled to find the time to jog two or three times a week.

    Aurora's offer to buy a round had her grinning. "Perfect! There's a couple of British pubs here in the city I want to check out. Sounds like a grand adventure! I didn't even know there were any in the States until recently."

    Chambers' praise had the Acanthus a little confused. And blushing. It wasn't something she was used to. Lucky to have her? Was that a jab? The redhead looked awkwardly uncertain. "Uh, thanks?" The subject of the labyrinth beneath their feet provided a useful distraction, and she glanced down at the floor, "Now you've got me wantin' to go dungeon delvin'."

    "Where's my fedora and bullwhip?" Jinx chimed in, as he was bound to do.

    The sole Warlock in the Consilium, at the moment at least, nods to the Heirarch, glancing towards the board. "Ah. Always a good thing to do.. Better to know what you're up against."

    He gives a nod over to the Acanthus. "Yeah. We should probably chat about things..." he says, glancing back towards the Free Council areas. He looks to the crow and gives a smile and a shrug. "It's supposed to be ironic more than anything. Stupid maybe, but ironic."

    He nods over to Asclepius. He definitely understood the difference in dangers, even if he has been out of the loop as it seems. "Sure, Talon. Same goes for you. If you need my skills in something, feel free to ask... We're here to help each other."

    He blinks over at Skye and gives a small shrug. "Can't say that I have had it, but I'm up for trying new things. Exploring."

    He steps over to the Consilium board, checking over it for the notes placed there, taking a moment to rewrite his Shadow name and one of the names he goes by amongst the muggles on the contacts list, seeing as how his last entry got scratched out. No new names on it though, other than the Libertine. That's disappointing.
