Winter Whispers at Treasured

[Jag]

The sign outside Treasured indicates that the store is closed for the evening. However, the members of the Silent Arrow are aware that while the antique shop isn't open for business, it will serve as the location for tonight's gathering. Things outside are surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, with only a couple of stragglers here and there walking out on the streets.

Inside the shop, Harvey and Big Swilla are standing by the entrance; both of them have their Masks hardened that evening. Towards the back of the store, there are a number of vintage chairs that have been set up around an ornate table that looks to be at least a couple hundred years old. There are a couple of pitchers of lemonade and a set of glasses on the table, which are obviously for the guests.

Next to the what is obviously the designated meeting area, there is open floor space. It is fairly obvious that shelves and furniture have been moved out of the way to make space for some purpose, which still remains to be known. And even though Winter is long gone, the temperature in the store is much cooler than outside. After all, the Silent Arrow will be meeting there tonight.

Magnus approaches the shop, unconsciously flitting quietly from shadow to shadow. He steps out of the nearest shadow and approaches the shop. He nods up at the two Winter Courtiers, removing a light jacket as he greets them. He produces a relatively small glass bottle and proffers it toward Harvey. There is a clear liquid inside and a plain white label with an image of a young girl and a single word written along the bottom of the label: Snegurochka.

"New spirit. Vodka. Know you like inspecting first."

[Smudge]

When Smudge arrived at the meeting, it was under the air of...well, the usual dirty, stinking hobo he was. Approaching the door, he stopped and frowned when he saw the two changeling's Masks had been hardened and wondered why. With a mental shrug, the Ogre entered the antique store a couple of moments after the Wizened and gave anyone that looked to him a small nod.

He then stood to the side, making the usually immaculate shop looking slightly more dishevelled.

Harvey - Fairest: Shadowsoul, Presence 2, Winter Mantle 3 (Mask Hardened)

The Sun Banisher offers the Brewer a quick smirk as the Vodka is handed over. He inspects the bottle, nodding as he does it. "I'm sure Queen Byeli will appreciate this," he says as he hands the bottle back to Magnus. "You can probably set it down on the table over there, or spike the lemonade if you like." Harvey snickers as he says those last words.

[Swift]

Magnus' eyes sparkle for a moment and he produces a second bottle, identical save for the fancy label. He makes his way over to the table indicated, giving a glance and a slight incline of his head to Smudge on the way, and sets the first bottle down. He then opens the second bottle and empties a generous amount into the lemonade. He grabs a cup and fills it half full, tasting the result. He shakes his head and adds and extra splash into his own cup. He then turns to face the room. While his expression remains somewhat sour it is clear he's offering to pour for anyone.

[Smudge]

Spotting the Wizened give him a nod, maybe, Smudge nodded back and watched with some relish as he poured something into the lemonade. With a smirk, the Ogre heads over to join him.

"I hope that warms the belly," Smudge said to Magnus Wight , pouring himself a glass. "I'm Smudge."

[Irea Dimelo]

Irea glided out of an alleyway a few buildings down from Treasured and casually approched the store, feet carefully avoiding any of the cracks in the sidewalk. She wore dark jeans and a black turtleneck sweater, and almost seemed to disapear into the shadows whenever she passed out of the glow of the streetlamps. Nonchallantly she opened the door of the store and slipped inside, coming up short when she saw Harvey, Big Swilla, and L'aire immediatley before her.

"Buona Sera," she murmured, closing the door soflty behind her. She waited until the door guards of the evening waved L'aire on and then stepped forward, carefully producing a canister of mace from her purse. "Just for the going-between," she explained. If asked she casually hands the canister over to the guards, if not she just slips it back away and then proceded to meet with her fellow Courtiers.

[Swift]

Magnus raises his glass to Smudge. "Magnus." He gestures to the still half-full bottle next to the lemonade. "Newest creation."

[Smudge]

"Heh, its good, man," Smudge commented after taking a sip followed by a bigger gulp, wiping his mouth on the back of his dirty overcoat, which had tiny snowflakes of dandruff on the shoulders. "Just outta interest, where do ya get the bottles?"
