    The Viking had sat for a very long time. Iceland to Sacramento, coach. Cause the awakened of the arrow knew how to splurge on the amenities...not so much. As he departed the plane, he pulled from his burn-marked and somewhat soot covered jeans an address, written in not-english. He committed it to memory before stuffing it back in his pocket and exiting the plane into the airport. It was...big. Iceland had like six people in it. This airport was as large as his home town.

    After navigating his way out and into the general bright light of day, he took a deep breath. It was warm. Magni smiled and brought his rucksack full of clothes over his shoulder and tried to hail a cab like they did in the movies...aaaand the cabbie just drove off with a passenger.

    Huh...

    He tried again, and eventually got a cab. Magni first stopped at the post office, picking up a package in his shadow name. It was a long rectangular box, that was rather heavy. After that he gave a street and avenue about two blocks away from the address. It would give him time to walk around, stretch his legs and get to know the immediate area around it. The Obrimos walked around a bit, spiraling block by block closer to the circle. He made a note of the more secluded spots, the more defensible ones. General tactical thoughts should ever the worst happen. Of course, the never-left-home Icelander also wanted a chance to see all the buildings. The new trees, the people. Take in the city and feel it's pulse.

    Finally he reached 3300 Stockton Boulevard. He made a mental note that he had gave the cabbie almost all of the last of his cash. Thorsson would need to find work soon. That was for sure. But first he'd need to meet his new family. The rest of the Arrows. The Cathedral was grand in it's architecture, for certain...he hoped there wasn't an overly chrisitan bent here though.

    Knock Knock Knock. Three loud booming sounds echoed as he pounded on the large door before him waiting for someone to come let him in.

    Asp

    Asp hadn't meant to be at the Circle long that day. Hit the facilities, check in and make sure no orders had come down, that sort of thing. She had her backpack on, like she was just about to leave, with all the usual good stuff and her weapon in it. Always prepared. She was a total Girl Scout like that.

    The booming knocks on the cathedral's giant door snapped her attention to it, though, a wary readiness crossing her face. Things that banged on the door could be friends. They could also be foes. She murmured in High Speech from the middle of the Circle and slipped a spell under the silent protection of Prime, cloaking the Sense Life that expanded her perceptions.

    Beyond the door was one life form. Nothing beside remained.

    Reaching the door, the little Obrimos opened it up just enough to look out and communicate.

    "Hello. Can I help you?"

    If you have a Sight up, you may roll Wits+Occult-2 to notice the spell going off.

    He waited a few moments before the door creaked open, just slightly. Through that though he caught that there was a small girl on the other side asking who he was. Reasonable question, that is.

    Huh... Not what he expected. Still though, never judge a book...

    "Hail and well met!" he greeted in his thick icelandic accent. He was boisterous to say the least, and quite excited to arrive. He then proceed to answer the question of aid.

    "I hope so. Magni Thorsson, pleased to meet you. I'm trying to locate some military buddies of mine? Was told this was the right place...seems a bit...Christian though." he said, eyes wandering over the Cathedral. "Thought I might have the wrong place."

    Getting up early, around 5am as was accustomed to the lowest-tiered sumo, Jonokuchi had been keeping himself busy within the Circle sweeping the floors and ensuring the place was tidy for the coming day's training. It was part of what kept him humble, kept him focused on his goals.

    Next came his training but beforehand would come the application of some spells, allowing each Imago to gain power through his usage of High Speech, each word sounding harsh in his native tongue.

    Then, the knocking at the door came and the Warlock's brow's knitted together. Standing and robing himself in his kimono, Jonokuchi headed to the front door, spotting Asp as he approached, wooden shoes click-clacking against the stone flooring. Hearing the accent, Jonokuchi wondered if another had come here seeking redemption just like himself.

    If Asp glanced his way, Jonokuchi nodded in support but remained quiet and out of the way.

    @Magni Thorrson: Next time, you will need to cast your spells in advance of a roll coming up that requires a Sight to make.

    Asp

    Asp eyed the fellow. His accent was wildly amusing. So was his greeting. And his name.

    Suddenly, she wanted to watch Thor. Movie for the next movie night? Check.

    Hearing the click-clack of wooden shoes, he looked to Jonokuchi for a moment, acknowledging the massive sumo with a nod and a hint of a smile. It was good to have backup, in case this wasn't what it was being presented to be. "Nice to meet you. I'm Aspen. Military buddies, huh? Anybody in particular?"

    Most Consilia tended to share the name of the First Talon with people coming in.

    "Ja, ja. Leo Lockheart, if memory serves." he had a curious look on his face. This was the right place... he wondered uncertainly. Aspen? Interesting name though. Perhaps there was an alert status...that'd explain the security door business.

    Asp

    Asp nodded, stepping back and pulling the door open enough to let Magni through. "Come on in," the sentry said, closing the door behind him once he had. "You've found the right place. Where you from, man? Most recently, I mean?"

    'cause duh, he was Scandinavian or something generally.

    When Magni said Leo's name, Jonokuchi relaxed slightly, not that it would be easy to notice. He crossed his thick arms across his chest and moved aside but still close enough to Asp to back the youthful Arrow up.

    Not that she needed it. He still recalls her boxing matches at the Arrow Field Day.

    Seeing the newcomer fully as he entered, Magni was certainly a strapping, Viking-type. Jonokuchi smirked at the man's beard. It reminded the sumo of a macaque.

    "And what brings you here?" Jonokuchi adds to Asp's questions.

    Magni entered when Aspen made room for him to do so and smiled appreciatively giving the place a once over, and chuckled at all their questions. Still though, they were fair questions. "Reykjavik, (Rei-ka-vik) Iceland...well, a little ways outside there at any rate." he said, pronouncing it Eyez-land. Closer to island than iceland. He was originally looking to Aspen until the rather robust asian man spoke up. "Stór náungi...look at the size of you. Swallowed a mountain you did." he said in a clearly joking in an easy going manner.

    "Mostly what brings me here is the warm weather, but I figure I can help out around here too." Magni said as the doors closed, finally feeling he could speak more freely. "Talon, skilled in occult and academic research, weapons combat and blacksmithing at your service. Was hoping to make use of the barracks till I can find a means to make, how do you americans say, some green and get a workshop up and running."
