Consillium VI - Panama

[Mage ST]

7:55 pm.
Sacramento State college.
Eureka Hall.

The last rays of sun have faded from the sky above Sacramento state, leaving the grounds of the campus quiet and still. The well kept trees, now barren for winter, line the path ways around the colleges sprawling campus. It is a quiet Wednesday night, and with no students on campus it seems the only movement in the area are the few bright stars that can out shine the street lights.

Wind, colder than normal, blows into the campus off the American river, and somewhere in the distance a train rumbles by the college, pleased it would seem by its arriving five minutes ahead of schedule. Its blasts echo in the night.

Squirrels, normally something of a problem on campus, have gone to the trees for the night, as have the odd turkey that makes this place its home. The only wildlife here is an owl, making its soft noises.

This quiet deep feeling is not comforting though. Beneath it is a feeling of oppression, of squashed hopes, broken spirits, orderly thinking. There is a faded feeling of euphoria, of learning for the love of learning, but that is blanched out by the acidic feeling of worry and strife.

For those coming though they know the way things look and seem is deceiving, and with some, the oldest of the Awakened in the city, still aware of what lurks in these most learned halls.

Welcome to the consillium.

[West (The Mage)]

West arrived at Sac State early, dressed casually and nondescript, and made his way to the specified room. There was a slight firmness to the set of his jaw: he was annoyed. Of the possible locations to hold a Consilium, this was probably on the short list of dumbest. Never mind the Banisher infestation he and Kai had weeded out... that aside, there was a reason you didn't do important things in public places where large groups of unknown people were.

He focused his Supernal will, opening a Portal in a supply closet in the room.

Through the portal, the air was warm, and full of sound: the soft crashing of falling into a pool, and the sharp sounds of wildlife. The air was warm and humid. It was a place he'd found once, stalking the jungle of Panama during training, and remembered. Water eddied and swirled oddly at the edges of the Fairie Glade as Time splintered into different flows.

West folded his arms and waited patiently to usher arrivals into the closet.

[MacMan]

Leroy Deinnison, now known as Leroy Dennis to some and Denizen to others looks around the campus of Sac State, taking in the ambiance of the secnery. (see above) He attends law school over at University of Califronia at Sacramento, and he never thought he'd have a reason to come to this place. He's had an ok holiday, he went home for Christmas and New Year, but classes at UC Sac don't start back up again until the middle of January. He had gotten word that the Consilium of Sacramento was planning to meet today, and wanted to come and observe how the goverment of magic worked.


He had arrived here by bus just as he did at the book store before the holidays, apparently he was the first one to arrive, or was he?

[Miach]

After a regular day at work, Miach felt entitled to a shower before heading to the Concilium. It was in the campus, very close to his flat around Tahoe Park, and he was confident he would be on time. After his shower, and even though he deemed it early, he decided to go at once. Better safe than sorry, as she used to say...

He carefully choose a flanel shirt of green and brown, and loose jeans. He hoped it would allow him to feel at ease, even though he knew that would be hoping too much. He decided to take his swiss army knife, too. Satisfied with his mundane preparatives, the tall red-haired Acanthus quickly pondered about the Supernal ones. Not much he could do, he recalled. He didn't think Foretelling about this meeting would yield any answer, and decided instead to trust his instincts, his Sybil's Sight, and roll with the show.

Doing once more a do-over of himself, he choose to add a slight touch of sweet fragrance, just in case, and walked briskly into the campus proper, toward the Eureka Hall. Funny name, he thought, as he judged the place rather depopulated for a campus. Shrugging, he walked to the door of said hall, looking all around him.

[Benji]

Only spell active in this thread is Supernatural Vision, potency 3

After being scrutinized by the Arrow Magister, Prospero steps through the Portal. He lets out a low whistle at first, then his face fixes into a frown. This was probably great for security, but damn if he wished someone had said something about what to wear. He was dressed in winter clothes suitable for Sacramento. They didn't fit well with... where was this? South America? Maybe Panama?. It looked familiar.

It was beautiful though. Jungles always were.

Since he was one of two people already there, Prospero give the other arrival a nod of the head after removing his jacket, shoes and socks and started walking around the area inside the spell. Should something go wrong there was no reason not to know as much as possible about the terrain.

[Vassagon]

Ah, Sacramento State, home of the Hornets. It was hornets right? Hmm... Toren pondered this in the cold evening air, his long gray jacket rubbing noisily against his navy blue sweater and gray dress pants. There seemed to be some fliers and college decor that suggested such as he walked casually through the campus. Basketball courts stood on his left from the sidewalk, their darkened windows suggesting no late practices tonight. Was he late? What time was it. He glanced at his watch and in horror realized he had forgotten his watch. He trotted a little faster now, glancing at walls hoping to see a clock face and gather his bearings. When had he left? Oh.

The entrance Eureka Hall was tucked beneath a canopy of trees and the brass lettering of its namesake peeked between a gap between them. "Ah," sighed Toren happily as he briskly trotted the rest of the way to their doors. He let himself inside through the glass doors and glanced around for a clock. He would like to know before he got there whether he was late or not. Yet when he came to one he found it opened and entered. A man stood there beside a closet door looking rather nondescript.

"Oh, hello, do you have the ti..." he began to ask and then felt an odd inkling as he approached. He glanced in the doorway of the closet and made the connection. "Oh good, I'm not late," and smiled wanly before allowing himself to be ushered through the portal

[Rosh]

Rosh arrives looking sharp in a light blue button down and black slacks. A business man ready to greet new clients or a Lawyer hoping to impress. A professor on his first day of class.
If the resonance of the College affects him he makes no sign. He has a position to fulfill and the Obrimos is determined to fill it as best as he can without pissing off anyone.

After an hour long ritual he felt at ease, confident his small part of the Consilium would show itself well. He carries a briefcase bought from a goodwill store some days ago. He nods respectfully to the Magister and presents the case to him after he enters the class room. "Confiscated from those thugs. You guys can make the best use of them. They are safe if you can trust them." Rosh looks behind him to see if he was being overheard. Whose idea was the College anyway? "I wrote up everything I found, which is inside as well." Rosh glances back at Leroy and sighs.

It was these kinds of details that deepened Rosh's respect for the Magister. Whoever planned the College meeting might be spurned, good. Consilium here was about as dumb as holding it at the Hostel. At least, the Libertine thought as much. He pauses incase West might have a response before stepping through into the jungle.

As Demise steps out of her mini cooper she wonders if she has the right place, it seemed almost deserted. I guess that is a good way to keep the normal ones out. She thinks to herself as she makes her way to the building. She was unsure as to what the local Consillium dress code was so in an attempt to be respectful Demise decided to err on the side of caution and dress in a formal black dress. Over her dress she wore a long black jacket to try to keep the chill air at bay.


As she makes her way to the portal she can't help but be impressed, she adjusts her purple framed glasses and smiles to the man standing near the portal. "Well..." she pauses not use to traveling via space magic she can't help but be a little nervous. After a few second delay she takes a deep breath and walks through.

Once through the portal her breath is taken away, Leave it to a mage to turn a storage closet into a romantic get away. she thinks as she takes in the beauty of it all.

It was the night of the Concilium meeting, and Aenigma wasn't sure of what to wear. He was debating between wearing a nice suit, or just his regular "work clothes" for the gathering. In the end he just decided to go with his usual get up and leave the nice suit for a different occasion. Before leaving his Sanctum he headed to the Hollow on the backyard and cast a couple of spells. Yeah, the notice had said only "sights," but as a Mastigos he was too paranoid to go without shielding his own mind. Especially having seen and experienced what he had back in DC; there was no way that he'd walk into a gathering of that many willworkers totally unprotected. After he was done, he headed out and made his way to Sac State.

-------

Upon arriving at the school, it didn't take the Mystagogue long to find Eureka Hall. As he walked up to the designated meeting area, he noticed the man ushering people into the closet. For some reason, he looked oddly familiar to Aenigma.

Where have I seen this guy before?

After a few seconds, he remembered meeting him at the Halloween party at the Claire a few months back. Suddenly, the odd look the man had given him that night made so much more sense. Aenigma walked up to him and gave him ( West (The Mage) ) a nod.

"Hey. Nice to see you again."

At that moment the Mastigos noticed why people were being ushered into the closet. A smirk formed across his lips as he observed what was on the other side. "Nice touch," he said to the man before stepping into the closet.

[October Davenport]

Toby made her way to the college, the site of the buildings bringing back memories of when she was in med school. Some good memories, some not so good, but that was the past. The hall itself was easy enough to locate, though the campus was really quiet, not the way she remembered campus, but she goes with it.

She wasn’t sure what she was supposed to wear this evening, and decided on a knee length suede skirt with a white top, her leather coat completing the outfit.

Once she locates the room, she was a bit surprised to see a gentleman standing beside what appeared to be a closet. Shrugging, she walks over and offers a friendly smile to the guy before walking into the closet. The Acanthus trusted whatever Fate had in store for her as she enters the portal.

When she steps through, she is in awe of what is around her, it was beautiful and peaceful. Looking down, she realizes it is very warm, and her shoes would make walking difficult, so she takes off her shoes and coat while looking at the faces already gathered.
