    A singular table sits in the center of a small conference room of the Bismark and is flanked by three chairs. Telos has already claimed one of the chairs and is sipping from a clear glass of water. Thankfully, the hotel has a continental breakfast and a half-eaten croissant and a mostly used teeny-tiny jar of preserves sits disregarded next to a stack of papers.

    This morning and well into the afternoon will be the Factotum Oral Exam and the Lictor is the very picture of no nonsense business. Not that the twinkle in her eye diminishes, but this is a matter she takes seriously. Each Factotum she approves will need to know their stuff and understand the weight of what they undertake.

    A poor Factotum reflects poorly upon the Lictor's judgment and a Lictor is relied on for that judgment.

    Meanwhile, Eryxias is the opposite of his Mentor. His left foot taps the beat of a song he hasn't been able to get out of his head for the last three days and he's sipping at his second cup of coffee. Despite living on them for the last year or so, continental breakfasts aren't the most satisfying of things and the Moros is looking forlornly to the empty basket that carried it all in.

    The nerves in his gut make him hungrier.

    Soldiering on, he looks towards the door as he rises, “I'll see if the first is here and ready.

    Pepper took off her aviator sunglasses as she entered the Bismark and slid then into the inside pocket of her blazer, juggling a box of hearty breakfast muffins. She'd been surprised to find out that the particular recipe even existed, but since Cheddar was the universe's gift to the lactose-intolerant, she'd decided to try and make a batch.

    She knew well enough how awful hotel breakfasts were. She glanced around the Lobby to gather her bearing and happened to spot Eryxias. Grinning, the Acanthus approached. "Hey, so where's this happening? Also, I brought these for you guys." She lifted the box of muffins and gave then a nervous glance. "They have bacon and cheese - cheddar - in case either of those matter?"

    She really hoped that neither Eryxias nor Telos were vegetarian, vegan, or allergic to diary. That would be awkward, to say the least.

    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.

    The first day of the exams was here, and she hoped she was ready. Making her way into the building, she had to put her trust in Fate that whatever happened, was supposed to happen. If she failed, it would only be a minor setback, and one she would recover from.

    She had on a long leather coat over leather pants and a t-shirt, and her long hair was down. Looking around, she spots Pepper and Eryxias and she makes her way over.

    A hand was raised in greeting as she smiles, “Hi.” She says.

    For once, Ermon doesn't look sleep-deprived and overworked as he arrives at the Bismark. He had notified Ariadne Kelreth just in case she felt ready but he doubted she'd come. Cramming all this crap into one's head required some really heavy lifting.

    It's all about stufying hard and relaxing well. He had done both, stopping doing any sort of mental work three days before the exam in order to let all the newly acquired knowledge settle. The clothes he is wearing are nothing special but comfortable. He really needs to be at his best tonight.

    As he enters the room, he finds the girls and Eryxias already there and offers them all a smile that is just a little bit strained:

    "Hello. Good luck to everyone today."

    Pepper nodded in greeting to Ermon's arrival (her hands were full) and smiled. "Thanks! Good luck you too." She gave a quick wink to Faye while she was at it. "So, you ready to take the exam, Faye?"

    Gratefully taking the muffins, Eryxias smiles charmingly at the gathering of magi just outside of the examination room and holds the door open, “Thanks Pepper, if I have to look at another teeny-tiny jar of preserves I might scream.” The Moros' smile segues into a lopsided grin as he holds the door open for Pepper.

    Since you got here first,” Eryxias continues, “and if you are ready, step on in.

    Pepper nodded, and stepped through with a grin and a wave to the other two.

    Pepper comes back out, following Eryxias. There's a wide grin plastered over her face. Should she tell the others? "I can't wait to find out who's moving on to the practical exams with me!"

    She couldn't help it. She'd done it.... and it's not like it wasn't obvious from her expression that she'd passed.

    After having finished with his exam, Ermon comes out of the room, rubbing his temples to dull the rising headache.

    I suck.

    Well, okay, maybe he doesn't suck. He did do the impossible preparing for this thing, it just wasn't enough. Still, Telos didn't shut his ass down so there is still a chance to work with. Better than nothing.

    Seeing the bundle of cheerfulness that is Pepper, he can't help but smile weakly in response:

    "You are so obvious. Congratulations!"
