(1207) Consillium VII

[Mage ST]

Consillium Meeting - 13 July 2012

As per the announcement that the Hierarch and others had placed at Written in Water, as well as a few other choice places around the city, so that the word would appropriately reach all the right people. Bismarck was still, according to the sleeper population of Sacramento, under renovations -- but this afternoon there would be a party inside nonetheless.

Anyone who approaches the double glass doors will see a long haired gentleman siting in a nice red leather chair, casually looking over a clip board. He will direct them to the far hallway and and down the stairs that would lead into the brightly lit ballroom. The floor is marble and there are a number of tables placed strategically around the room as places for the Mages to sit or gather.

At the far end, between two ionic columns, rises a small stage. In the center of the stage is a lightweight podium with a white mic resting on it. Along the base of the staircases are tables with various simple refreshments, and the places to set out food brought by the Mages.

Please break out into side threads once a conversation ensues

[DrDog]

Rose enters, and finds that he's one of the first ones here. His joy turns to sadness, when he sees a complete lack of chairs or couches to recline on.
Damn.
He goes to the refreshment stand and takes a piece of broccoli and begins lightly chewing the green food, before moving off to a back corner, so that he has a few moments head start on noticing new arrivals before they notice him.
Guardians aren't paranoid, they just know that mages don't die of old age.

[Matamune]

Alfar arrives among the first ones, already having finished all his business for the day. He wears simple unpretentious clothes and brings a couple of small carton boxes with him.

Once he gets inside, Alfar goes straight to the tables and starts setting out various baked goods, that he ordered yesterday and picked on the way here. There are about five larger pies with different fillings and also smaller items.

Apparently in a good mood, the doctor hums quietly as he arranges the food he brough on the table.

[Animus]

Animus walks in not long after. Some Consilium meetings, he'd dressed up for. This time, he didn't bother.

This time there would be no pretense.

On his way to the refreshments, the Thyrsus stops cold. No, it couldn't be. "P --" He barely manages to cut himself off in time. If the man was here, it could only mean that that wasn't his name anymore. Or at least one that he used in public.

He scuttles to Rose Hearst , still barely believing his eyes. "Wait, when did you -- ?"

The confusion is palpable.

[Idun]

Idun arrives in the room, she takes in the sight of those who arrived ahead of her. She notices that a few familiar faces among them but at the sight of Alfar, she heads in his direction, determined to speak with the man before the meeting begins. She wears a blue pant suit and her current style of hair is black with frosted red tips that's gelled up in short spikes.

"It's been a fairly long time since we last spoke, hasn't it Alfar?" She says to Alfar@%1; once she is standing within a comfortable distance. "If you have some time, might I speak with you about the Shadow of this city?"

[DrDog]

Rose looks at his long time jogging partner. Back when things were so much simpler. Rose settles for the awkward confusion of looking completely stunned to see someone he recognized, jaw slackened, eyes wide, and surprise written in neon on his face.
"A.." Right...
"Hi. I'm Rose Hearst, when you go jogging, where do you like to stop for refreshment?" ID verification, apparently something even Rose couldn't not take up from his training. Even if it did make him feel like an ass being mean to the guy that kept him in moderate shape for so long, someone he could actually have called a friend.
Rose extends a hand, white work shirt and black slacks screaming 'boring businessman' as loudly as possible.

Noctina walks into the room curious at what would be going on in the room. She had been gone so long it was actually fortunate the consillium was timed when it was.

She would just slowly and subtly enter the room just trying to not really draw attention to herself and attempts to just listen to what general tone of the meeting was so far.

[Matamune]

@Rockbane

Alfar turns to the other Shaman with a smile:

"Good day to you too, Idun. Yes, a lot has changed. How are you? What would you like to talk about?"
