The Sacramento Consilium is a political body of Awakened that have occupied the River City for decades if not centuries. Much of this history fades with the passing of seasons but each mage who has come to the city has left some imprint, seen or unseen. Tonight the Awakened inhabitants, mage and proximi, are invited to have drinks, good food and maybe roll up their sleeves and figure out what to do with everything facing them. Or in Reverb's estimation, maybe they'll just be the herd of cats mages typically are.
The Byzantine is one of the newest night spots in Sacramento. It is located in the rear of the Citizen Hotel, accessible through the alley behind the hotel. As you approach the doors to the club, two mages greet you. The first is Free Council Syndic Impulse, greeter for the Free Council hosts. The other is the Arrow Leo Lockheart, standing by to make sure you're the right sort of person to be allowed in.
Walking through the double doors, there is a small antechamber where one can wipe one's feet and check one's coat. Tonight coat-check is closed as the sleeper staff is not present. Proceeding through another set of double doors you come to a stop on a balcony with the Byzantine stretches out below you, to the left and right. To one's right, stairs against the exterior wall lead down a floor. Proceeding down them you come into the main bar area. Bar tables and seats are lined against the wall and the large central bar is manned by the owner of the establishment, Reverb. The eye-patch sporting mage is dressed in black slacks, black suspenders and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and an odd fezz. On the bar are several glass jars one would ordinarily would associate with tipping with signs next to them that read Sacramento Red Cross.
Walking behind the main bar and a partition you are confronted with a buffet of Hawaiian extraction. Kalua Pork, slow roasted with green onions and Hawaiian sea salt. Sweet and Sour Meatballs with pineapple chunks and red bell peppers. Rice noodles with chicken, green onions and fresh vegtitables. Polynesian steamed White Rice and Greens. In-season tropical fruit platters and Hawaiian Rolls. On the desert table: carrot cake, dark chocolate cremeux and locally made chocolate, vanilla and strawberry sorbets.
Walking past the bar and buffet of delicious calories there is a long stretch of seating area. Against the interior wall (opposite of the entrance of the club) is booth seats with small tables to hold drinks and food that run the length of the wall. Opposite this open seating is a series of small 'rooms' with rugs and tables and chairs that have curtains that can be pulled to form walls for privacy.
Past the seating area is a open dance with small smaller bar (which is closed) and a stage. On the three walls that frame the dance floor Casablanca is silently being projected. The sound track playing the dance area includes but is not limited to: Trombone Shorty, Avicii, Ruckus Robot and Not Big
