    Leo paced the foyer of the Circle of Creation. It was a stone floor that had started to collect dust since the woman who usually handled the cleaning had departed. To the right of the double door main entrance was a large wooden door, to the left was a stone wall with a keypad. Across from the entrance was a glass wall with a doorway leading towards what would be the sanctuary in the replica of Westminster Abbey. It actually looked like a gym with arcades on either side.

    It was just after Dusk, and no natural light shined through the stained glass windows. The foyer was well lit, as was the area just on the other side of the glass wall. A long rectangular table was set up with chairs just past the foyer. Leo would sit down, but it would make answering the locked door rather difficult.

    He thought it was an appropriate setting, staying in the one small spot of light among the darkness after most of the Arrow left the city. No official sentinel, Banishers getting more active, the Arrow in shambles. It was not a good time for the Sacramento mages, but that just meant those with a candle to light had all the more reason to do so and hold this darkness at bay.

    That or be consumed.

    When Impulse arrives, his sleeves are rolled up and his vest is unbuttoned; his jeans are faded, showing their age. Though he isn't unprofessional by any stretch, everything about his attire hints at casual. This was, of course, by design. He wanted to make sure that everyone remembered that this was merely a friendly conversation more than it was a board meeting. Despite the fact that having to move the conversation to a later date and place made it seem very official.

    In the young Syndic's hand was a flash card with a small list of notes jotted down in blue ink. If one were to observe the list itself, it would look like Impulse had meant to add more-- and had possibly spent a long time trying to-- but simply couldn't. This theory would be supported by the beginnings of what looked to be bags under the Thai man's eyes. The proud badge of the sleep deprived.

    Impulse took a deep breath and tried to shake his nerves out through his arms. The butterflies in his stomach were starting to calm down, but there was still an upstart or two causing trouble in there.
    A moment of reflection passes...

    And then a knock.

    Umbrey wasn't entirely sure he had the right place at first until he saw Impulse at the door. The necromancer looked down at his full pinstripe suit (with a solid bright red tie) that he occasionally wore for work and wondered for the briefest of seconds if he was overdressed. Of course not. I'm here to represent the Silver Ladder for an official meeting. Impulse is severely underdressed is what's going on here. He walked up to the mage with a heavy lean on his cane.

    "Ah, I see I'm on time and at the right place then?" He stood beside him, not thinking it necessary to knock as well. The Théarch had also groomed his short beard to make sure it was even and consistent and he was rubbing it with his free hand now. He looked up at the building in order to get an opinion of the outside before he went in.

    A short walk brought Ariadne to the Circle itself. She never gets dropped off by taxi or bus near the Circle itself. Instead taking a short time to walk there on foot. Her characteristic suit is just heavy enough to be comfortable in the coming spring weather. A few cat hairs peak at the world, Pixel has gotten smart as of late.

    Ariadne gives the two men a small wave as she approaches. "Good to see you two so soon." Warm and calm flows through her voice. Taking a moment to look up at the Circle itself she walks to the door and opens it. "In we go, no need to stand around staring at a building."

    Looking more curious than anything else, Kite walked towards the group at a solid, brisk pace, his ever-present cane in hand. In his usual attire for semi-formal meetings, the willworker gave a quick wave to Impulse and everyone else as he approached, walking towards the small crowd as formally as ever. Still, there was something odd, even off about the man. Despite the stoic expression and formal demeanor he almost always wore, he seemed far too relaxed and comfortable with himself… not at all like the overly severe man who had left Sacramento a little over a month ago…


    “Hello all” he called out as he approached, taking a moment to nod towards Impulse. “How has everyone been?”

    Leo cracked the Circle doors open for the budding gathering. He was in blue jeans, a black T and hoody, and black boots. The Arrow still wore the sullen look from Concilium after Vae left.

    "Hey all." He forced a smile to the gathering. That smile did turn more sincere at the sight of Kite. Leo thought the guy bolted just before Vae. "Come in."

    He gestures them into the foyer before closing the door behind them all. At least no extras tried to pull a tag along. The machete leaning against the wall next to the door implied that might not have ended well.

    Orpheus could be seen just rounding the corner into the view of the door. "Ah hell." He'd mutter to himself as he saw the doors closing. "Hold up!" Orpheus would call out as he jogged up to the door of the circle. "Not too late am I?"

    Last or very near to it, Avalon arrives floating on a confection of parti-colored skirts. In a single hand is a small crocus flower budding from a tiny peat-moss pot. Her other, holds her skirts so as to not get caught by the door. The Hierarch slinks into the Circle just behind Orpheus, but where and how she got there seems to be a mystery.

    “Everyone.” Avalon greets, her voice imbued with an airy politeness. The crocus is offered to Leo, “New growth, symbolizing new beginnings.” Her eyes close languidly, opening up again as Avalon looks at those in attendance before glancing back to the Arrow, “Are there any else you were waiting for?
    "My father says that almost the whole world is asleep.
    Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to.
    He says that only a few people are awake,
    and they live in a state of constant, total amazement."

    Idun arrives at the Circle wearing a navy blue dress pants and jacket with a white blouse and she is carrying a purse. Her hair is the same color it had been during the meeting. She knocks on the door and after a few seconds checks the door knob.

    Once within, she mentally sighs, it seems she's the last one to arrive. Seeing that it has started, she greets the room, "Sorry I'm late." She quickly finds a seat.
