It was early in the morning, only about an hour or so after dawn. Capitol Park was fairly quiet at this time, perhaps being too early even for the joggers that one could typically find running around the place most mornings. It could've been the fact that Winter had come to Sacramento, and while there were no snowstorms approaching the city, the winds definitely had more of a sting to them.
To members of the Freehold, this place was known to hold one of the most commonly used gates that led into the Hedge. Even those who were still fairly new had been told about Capitol's Park Trod, for it was an important landmark to the local Lost community.
This morning was a special occasion for some of the Lost in Sacramento, for it was today that their test to join the Summer Court would begin. While others who were already members, had been asked to participate by Summer's King. Everyone involved had been informed they were to meet by the gate an hour after dawn, so it wouldn't take much longer for them to show up.
Standing next to the monument that served as the Hedge gate, was Summer's Constable of Calefaction. The Snowskin was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a matching hoodie, which created a drastic contrast to his pale, icy skin. He had a backpack hanging from one of his shoulders, surely filled with some of the essentials for today's trip into the Hedge. With his piercing blue eyes staring into the distance, the ice Elemental waited for the others to arrive.
If your characters are bringing some equipment with them, please list it somewhere on spoilers in your first post. Keep in mind that they need to have the necessary dots of Resources to justify some stuff, so if your character does not have the necessary amount, I will edit the excessive things out of the lists. Have fun y'all
