    Phoenyx listens to the events being recounted, the talkative and banters Cricket and Bacchus making her withdraw subconsciously closer to Kaze.

    In her mind, she made a note of those willing to help fight for the Consillium. Eurydice. Aurora. Bacchus. She pulled out a phone and began setting up contacts. Alastor could prepare the actual battle plan, and she would listen in, but it was important to make sure things were covered up as needed. She sidles around to where Eurydice has perched and asks quietly "You said you wanted to help in the investigation? It's important for us to have a bredth of skills. Kaze and I are more fighters. I don't think too many of us are cleanup specialists, and we'll need to hide things afterwards." She offers the girl a hand. "Phoenyx,"

    Campanella’s call for focus had him nod. The man seemed stuffy, but that wasn’t always a bad thing. He looked to Kaze. “I didn’t know her either, but the Hunters must've. Pretty sure caught her leaving here. She had a rockin’ look, wasn’t that low key though. Think you had the right idea -- keeping more tabs on the area wouldn't hurt.” He offered to the newcomer facing all of this so soon.

    Bacchus’ number one question brought out an eye roll of Cricket’s own. “Yeah, how would anyone figure out where the magical napkin a group of people all vanish under on a regular basis might be?” The caginess around the rotes had Cricket click his tongue. “Right.” Why am I trying to host an Assembly again? He questioned himself as his fellow Shaman hadn't mellowed out any, even with all the drinking.

    “I don’t mean to be glib about this. It’s fucked up. No one deserves to rot in a warehouse or whatever.” He said to the group generally. “But a burial never really helped much in my life. There was more than just her body there, a book I guess.” It still wasn’t the most pressing concern to him. “None of it will matter it that clock goes doomsday and the Seers or whoever rewrites time though. That's got my priority.” He offered as all his things to cover had been.

    Kaze glances over to where Phoenyx approaches the Guardian, then nods to Cricket, acknowledging the mage's assessment of priorities based on having apparently been in the middle of things.

    "I can see that." he says in acknowledgment of the man's point.

    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.

    He had been quiet throughout the meeting, occasionally frowning at some hazardous suggestions and wary of the Libertine's treacherous preaching. First an Assembly, now the nerve to ask for Orders secrets. The guy has guts.
    Still, the clown was right.

    Then, he spoke.
    "I can't tell whether the wards are working as intended. The clock might be interfering but it's hard verify the hypotesis without an investigation. Though, on the grounds of logic alone, had the wards been tampered with, some Sleepers would have breached the perimeter running away from the explosion. People search for solace in churches, and yet that hasn't occurred", he laid his argument coldly.

    "We've recovered a hard drive from the van, right before the cops arrived and we had to evacuate the area. They were managing an extensive surveillance network, so it may be that they followed some of us, tapped any uncrypted phone and then placed their bait where their cross-linked recordings pointed at", a shrug followed, "Mind you, it's not that hard when you got people running around dressed like the Addams Family", a hint of annoyance in his voice, "or drinking on the job, even. We have been careless", he admonished, more for Eurydice's benefit. "Besides, the fire at the hotel must have drawn their attention going back for months".

    "The Sleepers, just like the Outcast's cadaver, were a convenient bait. Lure us and turn our compassion against ourselves",
    he didn't blame anybody for the murder, certainly not Campanella, still, it was the recklessness of the whole Consilium that had failed the young girl.

    Then he addressed Alastor. "A federal you say? I'm interested in talking with her. No wonder they were prepared, even though I doubt she'll say much. Those people are so down the rabbit hole they didn't blink once at the collateral damage they caused".

    Eurydice sat behind him, when the younger Arrow spoke, the Susceptor's reaction mimicked hers. "If you join the investigation, see that nobody falls for the trap. Destroy any evidence that might point them back to us or to the Mysteries", he whispered, with little care for any potential eavesdropper, "your contacts with the police will be invaluable"

    "As for the clock, we'll have to find the Acanthus or assemble a team".

    Eurydice

    Nimbus:

    Wounds seem to appear on Eurydice's forearms. From these long cuts slowly seeps a black smoky vapor. Her eyes also become completely black. When using higher magic or vulgar applications, these cuts seep the vapor out in greater quantity and at a higher rate, dousing her arms in swirling shadow. Likewise, in these instants, mournful singing spawns around her, as if sung by some distant, ethereal choir

    PRE

    Eurydice watched Bacchus' arrival to her side, gladly taking the glass from him as it was offered. To his mouthed 'Sorry', she offered a mouthed 'Thank you.' Then the Cleaner took a drink. Just big enough to take the edge off, but small enough to prevent herself from gagging. Eurydice listened to the collective yet again for a moment before Pheonyx came before her, offering her a place on the investigation. To that Eurydice offered a small smile and took the woman's hand.
    "Thank you, Pheonyx" she offers, "I had intended to undertake the investigation regardless, but working with a team certainly is preferable... And you are correct. With the potential of more open conflict, it would be prudent to mask the dead and clean evidence as much as possible. I can help, you just need to call. I would also like to be involved in the field and, preferably, in meetings discussing strategy for upcoming objectives, if that suits you."

    Then to Cricket, Eurydice echoed the opinion of her Order mate, "If the clock is your goal, perhaps it would be best to place meeting with Knot high on your priorities," she offers, keeping her tone friendly, "The Acanthus are known for their mastery of Time, as you know. His insight will likely be invaluable."

    To Winter's words, the Moros answered with a nod, "I will be cautious, Mr. Winter," she said, "And thorough." Her voice seemed cold and certain at the second statement, acknowledging her grim purpose.

    Looking to the greater group. "I am in agreement with, Winter," she offers, "Forming teams for the two tasks would allow an efficient line of communication. Our Consilium is small. Thus, we could benefit from that level of compartmentalization... It seems the Adamantine Arrow, Bacchus, and myself are principally concerned with the Hunter threat. Winter, Cricket, and, prior to her departure, Councilor Sand seemed to hold the clock as a priority. Is this correct? If I may ask, where do the rest of you stand? Councilor Campanella? Aurora?"

    "Arrows. Always the plural, 'Arrows'" Kaze adds to Eurydice's statement, smiling easily not unkindly.

    "I don't really know anything about pure investigations, so I am really doing perimeter security, with overlap. I will identify private and public cameras in our area, using Force to check what they are seeing. I won't leave any trace. I am also going to check out all the local businesses with a line of sight to the Circle, again, not asking questions or doing anything memorable, just checking them out like any other prospective customer."
    he says, looking at Eurydice.

    "I will absolutely tell you what I find, without trying to filter it to what I think is important or not." he offers.

    Campanella stirred. His movements, just like his thought, was careful.

    "At this time, I believe that the Hunter threat is most pressing. At least until we discover if the the threat remains. They have gotten too close for comfort. And if what I am hearing is true, we still do not know the depths of their allies or their resources."

    He sighed, closed his eyes for a moment.

    "The Clock is a powerful artefact and there are none among our company who know exactly how it works. We do not yet know what the signs we saw were. As such, I would caution a wary patience."

    Bacchus shook his head at Cricket's response, but said nothing since Winter said what Bacchus wanted to with his own christian-centric spin. The Shaman was never one to find solace in cold stone or old words on pages that had been translated dozens of times. In fact, the whole God thing and the notion of a divine plan seemed to run right into the Lies Seer's tell to crush the notion of free will before the spark of Truth could show them how to fight against the Exarchs. But yeah, if the wards were breached the Circle would've been sleeper central. Points for logic.

    "Sounds like the priorities have been established so how much more time do we want to spend talking?"
    It wasn't smug or rude to the Apostate. Thought without action is meaningless.

    Good to close!
