(1704) Sanctuary 6

[Archangel Michael]

Michael arrived, maybe for the first time among them in his priestly outfit. Black shoes, trousers and shirt, a silvery cross engraved on it's collar. His locks are arranged in his usual loose ponytail. The beard probably grew thicker than the last time most of the Wise would've seen him. Behind the pair of glasses, his face shows surprise about the few new faces. The community is growing for sure. The Star's brightness drew him closer. With a casual smile and a wave, the Obrimos greets the small crowd gathered around him.

"We grew in numbers since the last meeting, huh?" His glasses reflects the ambient light. "I'm Archangel Michael. Obrimos, Apostate and priest. Nice to be acquainted." His words were aimed at Thorpe, Marguerite, Bolide and the peculiar Avis, who he'd have mistaken for a newcomer.

Campanella, Faye and Tuesday got a nod and a smile from the Archangel. The Obrimos Councilor got his focus.

"Anyone into Forces, Prime and stuff among us?" His smile grew wider as he eyed the newbies. Another Obrimos (preferably one less eccentric than the pair they've already got) would be a nice addition to Sacramento's Consilium.

[Star]

Brown chicken, brown cow.

Was it just him? Or did Totally Overdressed's 'I will pay any due for the honor of learning with you' sound like the beginning of a porn? Not that Angels watched porn. Just that if they did, that's what it would probably sound like.

"Star. Uh, Councilor Star." Long fingers waved at Bolide. Consilium's being invaded by more pretty people. "Soooo. That's a supernal John Hancock for each of you. Welcome aboard. You two, him," pointing at Michael, "And me are the Obrimosts. We should probably pow-wow. Later. Since there's more than one of us. Or two. Okaaaaaay. So."

He stood and clapped once.

"The intros. This is Councilor Avis the Mastigos Arrow and Councilor Tuesday the undeclared Acanthus. The three of us are cabal'ed up as Veiled Threats. The rest of the Consilium are solitaires, and they include Councilor Faye the Thearch Thyrsus, Campanella the Moros Mystagogue, Archangel Michael also undeclared, and the with us in spirit but not body Acanthus Vallerion the Thearch. Which is just a saying. Like, his Spirit isn't with us." A long finger pointed out each person as he named them, while the hand slipped behind the edge of the pew and waggled at Avis. "Good? Everyone? Any questions?"

Bolide and Marguerite have passed the rigorous vetting process and may change their Consilium Status to 1 !

[Tuesday]

The Unicorn's in shock. Shock!

"Great googly moogly." she whispers back at Star, "Do anyone else know about this!?" she hisses out, like it was a Discovery, her hazels dart back and forth searching for Sam's dropping eaves, even as she bites her lip to keep herself from laughing.

At the hair ruffle she yelps "Hey!", while she gives the angel a lopsided smile, and shaking her hair out again.

Aaaand all the laughs that she'd held in exploded outward, as Star get's his JAMMs on.

"Avis! Hi~!" the Unicorn wildly waves at her cabal-mate, "I thought you'd pop in not, pop in. Since look! Newbies. You always pop in near one. I was trying to figure out which one it'd be." her exuberance settles at the reminder of the old man, "....maybe. He coulda sent word off. Time delay, left a note with an Acanthus so the Timelines matched...Yeah. I like that thought that they're here because of him. So yep. That's it. Accepting it as Fact."

Hazels travel to Faye and the unicorn snorts, "You're hot. And your boobs are great. I thought we went over this?" Like seriously?

A another new face shows and Tuesday was really leaning into the Arthur sent us reinforcements Fact.

"Yeah. Boots. Grounds. Boots on the Ground. Would be amazing~" looking around the room, "Since war. We're at one." Seers, Scelesti and the stupid spider-acamoth, Time Travels, Ripples. Whole latta shit to keep track of.

Archy finally shows and Tuesday can't help comparing him and Marguerite. He grates on her, she doesn't. Or maybe it's because she hadn't yet talk-talked to the angelic blond...or maybe it was the smile she'd given her unicorn antics. Star dose his Thang and there two new members, all that left was Faye to vet the boot-to-the-ground-arrow-shaman-who-sort-of-kind-of-made-tuesday-want-to-tilt-her-head-and-look-him-up-and-down.

[Campanella]

Campanella's eyes widen slightly at Avis' appearance. He makes an effort to struggle into a sitting position so he can at least attempt a respectful nod to the First Talon. His wild hair bobs behind him comically.

"Yes." The Moros adds with a cough. "Is there any news on the... ah... war effort?"

Somewhere in all that, he gives Archangel Michael a quick nod of recognition.

[Thrope]

Thrope nods to Aw-wwh...no...Aw V? As Councilor Star identifies her as another Arrow. Eyes track over the shirt and her generally happy exterior despite the..angst? None of my damn business Sliding into a pew the Thyrsus raises his hand.

Then looks at it and brings it back down, the hell was that.

"Wait War? As in honest to God..Gods War?" The question isn't as much incredulous as it is curious. With a small hint of anxiety in there as well, cause holy shit. Making a crew is going to be harder than I thought.

"Are we at the slow build up or have things gone south already?" Mages going to war has to be something like Families right? Maybe? Except for that whole magic thing.

[Aurora]

Annnnd we have another new face!

“Damn, did a flyer go out that our numbers were low or something?” she jokes with a grin. The caffeine was defiantly breathing life back into the Shaman.

A hand is waved, “Hi.” She says to the pretty boy. And seemed he knew who he was look for, so she focused back on Thrope,

“I can say from experience that this is the perfect place to get a fresh start.” Yup, been there done that even got the t-shirt. “And more numbers is always welcome.” Which he would hear about when they talked about what just went down. She then looks at Thrope, really looks at him, seeing his magic. There was then a nod, “Well welcome to Sacramento, look forward to working with you.”

A hand was then raised to Michael as he made his entrance.

Oh, Star was doing intros. When he said her name, she raised a hand once again.

And, now she’s hot. It wasn’t what she had never been told that, it just sounded weird coming from Tuesday. So she smirks at her, "That we did.” Again with her boobs. She still didn’t think they were anything too great, but hey, a compliment is still a compliment.

Blue eyes look over to Avis, when the war was mentioned. She was better at explaining it than she was.

@Thrope looks good to Faye, go ahead and raise your Status to 1

[Bolide]

As Star introduced himself and the others Bolide seemed a little more at ease. The crowd of strangers had names and a certain warmth to them, and little things like smoothies and Campanella's scent started to come into focus. Tuesday and Faye get an awkward look before eye contact is temporarily suspended. He didn't know if they were a thing or not, so Tuesday's open admiration for Faye's body was something this Obrimos was happy to repress until further notice.

"Thanks for the welcome, and it's nice to meet you all." He said with a smile before turning to Michael. "Stuff yes, because I prefer Matter. Also seconding Marguerite about going into that later."

The platinum blonde then got a glance that mirrored the one she was giving Bolide. She was beyond a doubt one of the most beautiful and graceful people Bolide had ever seen, though the sight of her rosary seemed to affect him in the way his energy had affected her. Her question to Avis elicited a nod though, and Bolide grudgingly turned his attention to the Warlock and Star. "That's my big question, but it was also suggested that I request a copy of the local laws for personal reference. Know the rules before you play the game and all that."

  Lasting

"Speaking of war..."

The Angel reached into his backpack and withdrew a heavy cloak. Nope, it's not a D.A.R.E. mobile, but the next best thing.

"Vee Tee intercepted a Seer delivery. This is a Profane Vestment, created, Sealed, and named by one of the Exarchs themselves." Long fingers held the Artifact up distastefully. Take a good look, yo. "We'll be dealing with the agents later, but..."

He threw it out onto the tile floor and walked over to it. Thought the welcome aboard was easy? Now it's time to find out if anyone has Seer sympathies and objects.

"...I consign this Seer Artifact to total destruction, by my own Guardian hand and for the Awakened of Sacramento to witness."

Brown Stygian threads spiraled down from above, wrapped and covered in Aether as they began spinning into a glyph. The Angel wavered, a translucent young Republican and nattily dressed bellhop overlaid and slightly out of synch as the mirage manifested. The jawline of a too-long chin firmed as he clenched his teeth to contain the entropic overflow of the Abyss that tore at his weave before completing the spell. The glyph fell like acid and fire onto the Urim, Unmaking it into tatters, ashes, then finally motes of dust that bounced and swayed in the rainbow of lights from the stained glass.

"In other news, we," a long finger pointed at Tuesday and Faye the small 'w' not big 'W', "Stole a magic radio and might be digging into what it does and the other stuff that was with it. If anyone wants to help."

The last was as nonchalant as ordering from a drive-through after the destruction of the Artifact. The Angel eased himself down onto a pew, carefully, grimacing.

Because Backlash.

Spell is Cloaked with 5 Potency. Those with Active Sight can roll Wits + Occult - 5 to see spell.

[Archangel Michael]

The Archangel watched in awe as Star's will alone annihillated the Seer's artifact. Even though he wasn't capable of seeing the imago itself, he knew the great deal of mastery necessary to achieve such effect. Now, that's impressive....

"I expected something more flashy from a Star. Impressive nonetheless." The priest smiles at his fellow Obrimos. "What about the radio-thing you got? I could lend a hand scrutinizing it, if you wish so."

Tuning again to Maguerite and Bolide, Michael folds his arms.

"Four of us, then? Cool.We can plot the... Obrimost-est meeting later whatever it means. It is a pleasure having the two of you on our side. "
