    Word had floated along to the Wild One that today was the big Concilium meeting, and so she had dressed as appropriately as she was comfortable with. She had never really cared for bras or undershirts so it may have actually been a little more revealing that people would expect, but that was just the way she did things.

    Mae had been on her way to grab some quiet lunch at a cafe near her new house when she had noticed Fluke wandering down the street. She was about to call out to him when he seemed intrigued by a random side street and abruptly changed direction. Curious and amused, the Thyrsus had begun to follow her friend. He always talked about how much he loved this city or that one, but she had never really seen what he meant until now. Content to simply watch what happened, she simply followed quietly behind him as he went along without any real indication of where he was actually going. However long this went on, she couldn't be sure and didn't really much care. In the end she realized that they were walking down the street she had been given in the address for the meeting, and she chuckled to herself. Her friend really was a little Wonderboy when it came to the fickle nature of Fate.

    She hung back long enough to let him make his entrance on his own, counting to twenty before entering the building and winding her way to the actual room they were supposed to go to. She grinned broadly at the familiar faces and the new ones alike, waving briefly but enthusiastically before glancing around to get her bearings more fully. There was certainly an interesting array of fashion choices, which made her feel more confident in her own as she meandered around briefly. Most of the faces were new, but only about four looked all that professional or uptight. Fluke was already making new friends. Maybe joining him was the best option.

    The Thyrsus quickly wound her way over and made her greetings. "Hey Fluke! Good to see you, buddy! Hello everyone! I'm Mae!" Her huge smile was genuine and her voice had a slightly husky, alluring quality to it, making everything she said sound a little risque.

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    Faye breezed into the room as only an Acanthus can.

    She decided to dress up a little for the meeting, wanting to make a good impression, and cause she knew the dress looked good on her. Dressed in a bright white dress, her blonde hair hung in loose waves around her shoulders, her blue eyes sparkled. Her first official Consilium, well, aside from the Duel, but this one should be a little more fun.

    Her eyes scan the room, looking at the faces of the Awakened already arrived. She spots Crowely Crowley with Ermac Ermac and Miach @Miach , and gives them a friendly wave, not sure if she should interrupt or not. Eyes rest briefly over the other guy with them and his interesting attire and offers him a wide smile Falstaff

    Long legs bring her further into the room, and she was unsure of who to talk with. This wasn’t like her, social situations were usually her thing. But being around this many Awakened was a little unnerving. She hadn’t actually been a part of a Consilium in a while, always on the move.

    He wasn't wild about twirling a pen. It felt like cheating. Cheating on his deck. But shuffling cards? They'd be a giveaway. Every time they entered Consilium, he wanted to smack his forehead. Because Hat. And then he'd remember. So the pen, instead of a card. No clues. Ambush.

    "You look nice Zoey!"

    Straight. Face. Of course she wasn't Dressing Up every time they saw Aquinas. Coincidence. That was Totally Just Herald wear.

    "Ummm. You two... too."
    Camouflage. Plus? Maybe someone was a little skittish about throwing out singular compliment to a Former. Hadn't thought that one through much? Whoops.

    Oh well! Stop. Consilium Time. But first...

    He stared at the wallet in his hand*.

    How? That wasn't...

    Of course it wasn't. Like he was blind? He'd noticed. Investigating is totally A Thing. Banishers. They were out there. So he'd decided to Find Out. Also -- better check yourself before you wreck yourself, yo. Better not be staring at formless baggy sweatpants.

    The pen stopped twirling, and he began rifling through the wallet. Driver's license? Allegedly, Names were A Thing.

    Pepper entered the room with a bounce in her step and Tardis Blue tailored into a great suit. She'd been wearing the Yellow too much, and first imressions had been made. There was stuff to do, and this would be awesome. She shot a quick glance around for Nous ( Jhet ) but not seeing her immediately shrugged. She was around, she'd be there. Meanwhile she turned to Mace and grinned. "Hey, so do you know if Aurum ever chose a Provost? And if you don't know could you find out from the other Moroi? I just want to confirm stuff."

    Pepper though? Pepper was going to hit up the Heralds and find out who the Councilors were, besides the obvious known. She would have gone to Crowley - there was only so often she could opt to talk to Zoey - but damn, he had a crowd forming near him.

    Then again, Zoey was still lined up with the Veiled Threats, if she were to guess. Crowley it was. She headed over to her fellow Acanthus and gave a wave "Hey, Crowley, can I ask you something?"

    Mace

    Mace followed in her twin's footsteps. After the manicure with Nous and some teasing by Pepper, the outfit had finally come together. She was pretty pleased with it. She looked around the room, taking in the faces. 'Will do," she said. "She didn't say anything at dinner, but I'll ask." As Pepper leaved to talk to Crowly, and Ermac, it seemed as though most of the people she knew were already in conversations. So instead, she took a turn around the room, taking in the decor and letting herself indulge in her Wallflower tendencies.

    Suit, as usual. Though free of Pixel hair. Point to Zodiac for pointing out how useful lint rollers are. Ariadne looks around as she walks into Consilium. Always something to aspire too. Blue eyes hop over the other mages present. New faces again.

    Glad I'm not a Herald anymore.

    The Epopt's gaze lingers on Zodiac a hint longer than the other mages before Ariadne makes her way over to the Veiled Threads. Asp and Star both get nods before Ariadne speaks to Zodiac and Avis.

    "We, Warlocks, need to have a Councilor for tonight correct?" The redhead asks her question neutrally.

    Still chuckling, Crowley looks up. "Hey! Whats up?" He composes himself as he responds to Pepper.

    Ermac

    As Falstaff arrived and addressed him as "Ermmie" with both hands out, the Obrimos tried to keep a straight face. A wave of frustration rose up within him. This was worrisome. Falstaff was blind to his own behavior.

    Crowley got a laugh out of it. The other Libertines didn't appear to care. Let it go, man. Stop being so stuckup. A quick glance about, a decision was made.

    The Theurge gripped The Fool's right hand and left for the handshake. "Good to see you Falstaff." How to best word it properly, than preemptively tip his hand. "Forgive me, I'm a bit nervous at the moment. It's an important night." He paused allowing the Acanthus time to process that. "I have something to discuss with you later on."

    Then he smiled to Pepper , "Good to see you again, Pepper." Ermac turned to Fluke and Mae . "Glad to see you two here!"

    Asp

    Asp's eyes tracked Falstaff, too, as he went on by. She didn't witness Star's skilled snatch, but she did see the dude riding their asses, noticed Star going through the wallet. Something about that guy being all up on them was just fucked up. Something about it made her wonder why. Had he been there all along?

    A smile, back from the front seat of a van. Then, the windows shattering and the car overturning --

    She stiffened as something deep and primordial twigged inside her. Her eyes flicked to Fluke and Mae.

    "Asp, hi," she said. Her trademark smile wasn't there. She looked to the others, feeling the need to address the behavior. "Please, excuse me for just a moment. Got something I gotta do real quick. Nice to meet you both!"

    And then, she bee-lined for Falstaff.

    "Hello."

    She smiled sweetly to Ermac. To set him at ease. Then, her eyes fell on the jester.

    "Sorry to interrupt you guys. My name is Asp. Could we talk for a sec? Privately?"

    All business.
