Blustery Business

[Jag]

The sign outside Treasured indicated that the store was closed for the evening. However, the members of Sacramento's Winter Court were well aware that while the antique store wasn't open for business, it was open to those who counted themselves amongst the ranks of the Silent Arrow. After all, the Queen's announcement had advertised that her shop would serve as the location for that evening's meeting.

While the temperature was in the low 40s outside the store, it was possible that it would actually be colder within its walls. Inside the shop, Harvey and Big Swilla were standing by the entrance; both of them had their Masks hardened for the occasion. After all, their Queen had requested that they take precautions when traveling to the site. Towards the back of the store, there were a number of vintage chairs that had been set up around an ornate table that looked to be at least a couple centuries old. There were a couple of pitchers of lemonade and a set of glasses on the table, which were obviously set up as refreshments for those who would be in attendance that evening.

[Swift]

Magnus arrives early, with his mask firmly in place. He had something of great importance he wished to discuss with the Queen and was determined to make a good showing of it tonight. He has with him a pine box filled with an assortment of beverages from his menu at the Forge. Of particular note is a bottle of the Snegurochka vodka he had debuted as a gift for the Winter Queen at last year's meeting.

He nods in greeting to Swilla at the door and again at Harvey. He enters and crosses the room to the table with the lemonade and sets the box down. He'd let everyone decide if they wanted to spike their lemonade or not, or if they'd rather just have a beer. After he is relieved of his burden Magnus pours himself a glass of lemonade over ice and pops open the vodka. A healthy splash of spirits joins the refreshing beverage.

He takes a sip and exhales, his breath condensing in the air. Glancing at L'aire he quirks and eyebrow by way of asking if she would like anything to drink.

[Malcolm Green]

Green plods heavily into the establishment - a hulking brute of a man, made more so because he is swathed in a military surplus greatcoat that fits fairly well (funnily enough). Tonight the mountain wares a perpetual scowl, the kind that would make one of the ordinary folk's jaws ache: Green can't feel it. His Queen demands decorum and secrecy -so she'll get it! Green is not one to voluntarily hide his nature and in a perverse twist, he actually feels as though his face has locked into place when he called forth the Wyrd to conceal his true form.

When Green squeezes through the door he can only stop and stare, blinking, for a moment, as though he seen the gathered company for the very first time. Grumbling he nods to Big Swilla and Harvey before looking for a place to comfortably...

[Smudge]

Funnily enough, Smudge wasn't as concerned about this meeting as the last time he had come here. He'd been more discrete with his own use of tokens and Glamour, he may have even had a smile on his face as he entered the antique store with Degnar just behind him.

Or it could be the joke he was just finishing.

"'How are ya gettin' on with the girls now,' Gippeto asked. 'Who needs girls!' replies Pinocchio," Smudge said, suddenly guffawing with laughter, smog billowing from his mouth. Glancing around at those already present, Smudge grinned, in quite the mood it would seem.

[Degnar]

As usual, Degnar had taken the necessary measures to be cautious while traveling to Treasured. It wasn't just the fact that their Queen had requested it, but the Darkling was used to doing that sort of thing. After all, he was the kind of person that preferred to remain unnoticed until he chose to make his presence known. Following close behind his Motley mate, the Archer of the Lonely March gave the one-eyed Ogre a nonchalant shrug in response to the joke.

"I guess that gives wood a new definition, huh?" he said in his monotone voice as they walked into the store. Looking around at those already present, the Tunnelgrub offered each a quick nod.

The Sun Banisher offered the Winter Dancer a quick smile as she entered the room and addressed him. "Not too shabby," he said in response to the violet-eyed Fairest. "I hope the same can be said about you." As other members of the Silent Arrow began walking through the door, the Shadowsoul offered them all silent nods, recognizing each of them from previous interactions or Freehold functions they had all attended.

"Hello," he replied as Vincent greeted him, taking him a brief moment to recognize the man from the Winter Coronation. After all, the Mask made such things difficult when you weren't familiar with the individual you were speaking to.

[Changeling ST]

Swilla offered L'aire a toothy grin, which was a lot less menacing thanks to the fact that he had his Mask hardened. "Whazzzup girl?" he said to the Dancer, appearing to be in a fairly good mood. "I'm doing aight, just doin' mah job, ya know?" As others began to arrive, the Coldscales kept a close eye on them, trying to recognize which ones he had seen or met before. Even with their Masks hardened, the big bad croc could recognize most without much trouble. The only two he hadn't really met before were Green and Vincent. Although, due to the size of the Earthbones, Swilla figured out it was him. After all, there were only three guys that were that big in the 'hold, and two of them happened to find themselves in Winter.

Well, isn't that something?

He had a harder time with Vincent, but eventually he recognized the Wizened from his swearing of the Freehold pledge to Katrin. After all, only about a month had passed since then. "Hey man. What's good?" said the Coldscales to the Gameplayer.
