    Somewhere in the northernmost reaches of California, is a befuddled cattle rancher named Jaq. It's short for Jacqueline but it's not like she likes her full name. When she arrived in the wee-hours of the morning, with the bull Miach procured, at the Fillard Museum – of all places – her confusion was just as plain as day as the noble pride that drapes over the bull's form.

    After a quick re-cap of how to slaughter a bull, Jaq left; leaving Gina with Miach holding the proverbial bag. The bag, in this case, being a bull with large horns.


    Gina | Mysterium Sleepwalker | Striking Looks ••••


    Gina wrinkles her nose looking disdainfully at the bull, suddenly thankful she is wearing jeans and sneakers this morning.

    The rest of Sacramento's Mysterium were called for the ceremony; even those who were supposed to meet Autolycus. It is, in the end, a ceremony and Gina made sure she gave everyone a ring.

    Gina leads Miach and the Bull through the supply-side entrances of the Museum, heading into the bowels before coming upon the Maintenance Door. Here, the Factotum reveals her skeleton key to get into the Athenaeum allowing the bull and Miach first entry.

    Throughout the whole ordeal, the Bull is inquisitive, even taking the time to nudge Miach in the shoulder as though telling the tall Acanthus to hurry up. It is silly to think that the bull, who has never been to the Athenaeum, knows where he is going. But, from the bull's posture, it certainly feels that way.


    It never fails to impress. The Athenaeum's gothic architecture, rib moldings, black marble and golden spirals sings to the senses of the Mystagogues. The high-backed chairs and long tables invite and the palpable sense of knowledge hums in the air. A statue of Athena stands resolute and swaddled in the early wan light of the morning.

    Tyria Primoria in her Grecian robes and sombre mien looks up from beside the statue of Wise Athena. A latte hangs in her left hand and she checks it quickly before nodding and striding towards the bull. “Yes, he'll do.” Turning her attention to Miach she directs, “Stand over there. We'll be waiting the rest of the Caucus before the ceremony starts.

    Gina runs to the mundane entrances of the Fillard to escort the rest of the Mystagogues to their Sanctuary.

    While Miach had once been extremely carefree, those days were now past. Each step toward the Athenaeum only increased his tension, and finally, the sight of Primoria's garb reinforced it even further. It was only once she had spoken her agreement that the mystagogue felt slightly relieved, and his shoulders lowered an inch, his neck loosened lightly.

    The Enchanter gave her a nod, and shot a longing glance at the latte. He was more of a cappuccino man himself, but caffeine sure would have felt fine right now. Anyway...

    Complying with the directives he was given, the tall Medstar patted the bull with some sympathy - strange for a beast he knew nothing of - and moved as ordered. "Yes, Curator." he said seriously. There was no hint of irony nor irritation in his voice. Only focus.

    Aurum arrived as directed for the gathering. The cybergoth wore a dark shirt and cargo pants and boots. Her look was more subdued than usual but still was sporting her cyberlocks and now she wore a small gold chain around her neck, but it was mostly obscured by the neckline of her shirt. The young woman hoped that all this wouldn't be a problem because she was excited about actually having a Mysterium function to attend.

    She noticed the bull and then the curator in her robes. "Curator," she said in greeting with a nod of her head.

    Oh shit I hope there wasn't a dress code, she thought to herself.

    Not wanting to be in the way, and unsure how strict the event was, the moros stood out of the way after she was noticed and remained quiet.

    Othello arrives at the proper time in a dark suit. He looked around the room, noting the woman in the dark clothes and striking hair.

    A new town, a new Atheneaum. Of course, Sylvan was excited to be invited to the event, especially since he had yet to have any meaningful conversations with any of the other Mystagogues. He was dressed in his usual sweat shorts and t-shirt combo. Function over fashion would always be the preference for this Thrysus.

    He arrived and entered the space, pretty unsure as to where he was supposed to go, but the presence of the other Mystagogues their quickly cleared that problem up. Not knowing who was who, he simply waved a silent greeting and stood off to the side as others arrived.

    Tyria's pointed gaze looks past everyone and at the door; a single syllable speaks of her unique disappointment, “Shame.” The future isn't final until it is the past and a quick glance at her latte-cup marks one of the chosen threads of the day. Tyria takes a sip from it before joining the growing caucus.

    I am Doctor Tyria Primoria, Curator of this caucus. I expect you know what that means.” She reaches to her side and pats the noble beast that stands by Miach. “Some of you are new,” a look to Sylvan and Othello, “some of you are returned.” A single nod in the Cybergoth's direction. “Aurum, I do hope you come back bearing some new Guanxi for our Caucus and I assume, you've come bearing your gift for the Athenaeum to take part in today's ceremony.” The Curator potentially already knows this answer.

    For the newly arrived, you've come during an auspicious time. Today you will witness two who will be going through their first Atlantean Mystery, after their trial and tribulation that revealed their resolve,” a look to Miach, “and their resourcefulness,” another look at Aurum.

    Introduce yourselves,” Tyria requests of Sylvan and Othello.

    Othello stepped forward from where he was. "I am Othello of the Mastigos. I am new to this city, coming here from Seattle."

    "I am Sylvan, a Shaman and Neokoros just arriving from Miami."

    Sylvan waved at each of the other Mystagogues present. "It's nice to be with you all for this event."

    Sylvan wasn't quite sure what else to add to his introduction. Given the circumstances of their gathering, he didn't feel very comfortable talking a lot about himself. He smiles awkwardly after his brief introduction, unsure whether or not to volunteer anymore information.

    Weird. Miach had been absent for a time, admittedly, but still... The Acanthus didn't recall ever witnessing or being invited to witness another Mystagogue's initiation. The times they are a-changing ? Or had there been none for the past few years ? That could be a definite possibility, given the turnover rate.

    Regardless of his doubts, he was at the Curator's disposal, and since she hadn't adressed him directly, didn't speak. He merely acknowledged the two newcomers with a short smile and nod, and kept his quiet. Now and then, his eyes darted toward the beast.

    Soon your life will end. For me. I'm sorry. It was hardly different than eating a steak, when you thought about it. Except it would be happening in front of him, and that would make all the difference.

    "I do Curator," Aurum said with a nod. "I've been collecting information on the nature of magic itself that I come to present for the collection."

    The Cybergoth sloughs off the large dufflebag she has with several works that gave more extensive work ups of the nature of magic that she has collected. She walked over and set the bag down on the table, out of the way she assumed as she doubted that the ritual would take place in this room. She left the city, but at least she collected a few things to offer on her return.

    Aurum nodded to each of the men as they introduced themselves.

    "Hey guys, I'm Aurum, Necromancer and all that. I was hear a few years back and I've recently returned as the boss said," she said politely and shortly so as not to interrupt the Curator if she had anything else planned.
