1401 Mandatory Free Council Meeting

[Mage ST]

Reverb had been informed in no uncertain terms that there was an emergency meeting of the Free Council to be held in the Byzantine, and that all members were to attend, no exceptions. Of course, she was informed enough that she went ahead and provided everyone with the courtesy of a personal text so they'd have the number to her red burner phone, which sat on the table in front of her.

Snakebite sat, booted feet up on same said table, reading an issue of Rolling Stone with a look that flittered between amused and irritated, with numerous pauses where it looks as though she might set the magazine down or throw it across the room. Her outfit was low key, for her at least, but a careful observer might notice something was strapped to her underneath her now-unzipped jacket. Something dark and ominous.

Looking over at the time, she wonders who'll be on time in this bizarre turn of events where she'd herself been early.

Looking up from the magazine, she gives Impulse a quick once over before replying in her thick British accent, "Yeah, have a seat. I figur'd I'll just tell everyone at once when they get here, if that's alright wif you?"

As per 'fame' rules, you are welcome to roll wits+composure+3 to recognize this person from media.

Kite walked into the Byzantine, wearing his typical semi-professional outfit – formal shirt, pants, light boots, and longcoat. The ensemble was completed by his ever-present cane, its tapping heard as he walked down the stairs to the private area of the Byzantine.


“Impulse, hey there” Kite waved to the younger Syndic, before turning to the other libertine familiar to him. “Reverb… ahh….” Kite seemed taken aback by the new libertine’s appearance. “Um… hi… good to see you.” he smiled and waved, mentally figuring he had gotten caught off-guard by the sudden announcement.


Upon seeing the new face in the room, Kite smiled and approached, his hand outstretched in a greeting. “You must be Snakebite." he said, politely and formally offering his handshake. "I’m called ‘Kite’. It’s a pleasure to meet you…”

Your rolls to recognize her are sufficient to reveal the information in the Wiki. 'Vicky Bones' is a controversial figure in music, charity, and political commentary.

"Really? I suppose that would mean you're yourself then," Snakebite snarks in response to Reverb, glancing up from her magazine to get a look at him. Pausing a moment, she adds, "I won't spill anyfing if you won't, V...Verb." The smirk and wink might seem more flirtatious if she weren't armed. The look she gives Reverb could be read a number of ways, given his outfit choice.

"What have you got on tap, by the by? The lot of us might want something shortly, if that orange juice isn't a religious conviction. But I'd prefer to wait for all of you if I may have my druthers," she continues, giving a quick look around to confirm her head count was less than five as Kite arrives.

When Kite comes over for a handshake, she casts the magazine down, closing it so no one will see she's reading the latest gossip about herself, she offers him a brisk handshake as her boots slide off the table to firmly thump into the ground. "You have a reputation, Kite," she states in a neutral tone as she looks him in the eye for a moment. "Everyone feel free to have a seat, or a drink."

"No, that is a first. I'll have to take your word for it," Snakebite replies to Buzz's very folksy compliment, accepting the handshake for a brief greeting. She nods to Hypnos' appearance, and her statement, saying, "That does indeed appear to be the case."

"I'll extend the offer to our newcomers that I did everyone else. Feel free to get a seat or a drink for yourself if you'd like either before bad news." She's slowed down her speech and taken obvious pains to sound 'more American' so everyone can understand her clearly, and lets the words hang ominously a moment as she gestures for everyone to proceed if they wish. She will wait for that to sort itself out before continuing, in a commentary riddled with order slang that anyone who was trained in another Consilium of Free Councilors should recognize.

"There's no pleasant or polite way to inform anyone of this news, so it just needs to happen. Samdei is dead. He was shot twice on a rescue mission for a couple of Rankers who were snatched. Sharp, solid employment, but the community at large won't respect selfish, narrow-minded Freak Ouncers now will it?"

"I'll let this news sink in, and by no means feel rushed, but given the rumours of manifold issues in this city, it is my intention to stay here for the foreseeable future. Which means I would love to hear from all of you about what's important moving forward, and to hear your talents described in your own words. Whenever you are ready."

Her speech done, she nods solemnly and heads over to the bar to look for an ale of the appropriate temperature and darkness.
