(1501) Consilium

[Jhet]

"The reason for not having a transition period? It's simply that we didn't actually have any laws in place after Telos threw out the old ones. we needed to have laws in place as there was nothing to keep any order except for random goodwill. And it's not like we needed a transition period. The former councilors were part of the process and could have moved to get into a cabal to remedy the situation from even becoming a problem. The Hierarch didn't seem to have any problems doing it."

She shrugs. Both councilors in question have been in the city plenty long enough to have found cabals. It's sad that they didn't, but that was their own fault, not hers.

"It's right that you'll stand for the Mighty. It's the order of things. So who's going to stand for Ecstasy then? Will you Magus Striker ?"

She had a feeling that Animus would say no, even if asked. It would surprise her more if he would. If he was interested, he could have stepped up in front of Idun three months ago.

[Teeramus]

Striker was following the conversation. It was tough trying to read the document and listen at the same time, but he was connecting the dots. He started paying more attention when it seemed his order head may be taking the Obrimos position. Head of the Arrows, Obrimos and a Sentinel. Damn she's good.

Then suddenly Nous was asking if he would represent the Thyrsus. Hell yeah. It made sense, Animus wouldn't do it, Dami was new and presumably unknown to Nous, if Idun was disallowed then he was clearly the best choice as Last Resort Thyrsus Councilor.

Striker stood quickly hearing his name. "Yeah mate. I'll do the job no worries. Just tell me when an' where an' I'll be there ay." he said loudly and clearly before giving Nous and Idun a respectful nod then taking his seat.

[Idun]

It's like in one ear and out the other, isn't it? Idun thinks, she had answered the question concerning Cabal from before but it seems that Nous didn't hear it. How is it my fault that the Cabal I am a part of wishes to recruit those wishing to be the healers of this city? Sure, we could recruit a third but it would have been against the spirit in which the Cabal was founded.

She restrains herself from saying something that would likely be considered petty. Namely inquiring about when it was decided that the right number for a Cabal was three instead of the typical two. Well, at least they weren't trying to place Animus in the hot spot.

[Gyges]

Gyges closes his eyes for a beat, suppressing a sigh. He stands once again, waiting to be recognized.

"Councilor Nous. Isn't Magus Striker accused of serious violations of the Lex? Him taking a position on the Council, especially when the trial procedures for his own trial have not been set in stone, is a clear Conflict of Interest."

Maybe it would be simpler just to stay standing up all night. This is what happened when you try and restrict who can sit on the council - you end up in situations where no one is qualified.

[Avis]

She'd been wrong just a moment ago. The struggle had not ceased. the fires of conflict were nowhere near done burning and the scales were nowhere near balanced. Just the mention of Striker's name called up the storm which been set to brew at the start of the meeting. Seeing that abuser rise from his seat, hearing his idiot's voice blaring across the gathering of Wise, it was like having her form beset by cutting and lashed by torrents of rain and she felt her core tense and her jaw clench against it all. The plastic of the pen in her fist flexed beneath the sudden iron taught tendons of her grip and the imagine of the pen snapping sprang into her mind. Such an inconsequential, yet overtly violent image was what brought her mind off of her hatred and back to herself and where she was. She forced herself to relax. To show no more sign of the enmity and unbalance.

She drew in another breath, imagined the air suffusing her lungs and drawing the tension, like a substance, from her body and then expelling it with a steady exhalation. Her face fixed itself into a mask devoid of emotion and she turned once more to Councilor Nous.

"What it says about us, Councilor, that we would attempt to amend a law the night it is put in place, is that we acknowledge when we have contradicted ourselves and are attempting to put it right. If we wish each path to select their own Councilor, in the way that they desire, then we, who are not from that path, should place no restrictions on them. Just like you should not speak of who should replace the councilors of those paths. You clearly aren't properly advised of the present situation," Avis spoke, attempting to keep the venom from her words. "Since we've moved on to the rest of the agenda, allow me to advise you of the conflict of interest which Magus Gyges has spoken of."

Slowly, so that her motions could not be misinterpreted, she placed the pen down and rose to her feet. "I, Avis, First Talon of the Adamantine Arrow and present Councilor for the Path of Scourging, accuse Magus Striker of willfully and physically assaulting me without provocation. The Sentinels have been made aware of this incident and have begun their investigation. I will, of course, appoint a Provost to represent my Path in my place since I obviously cannot be a proper judge for this trial."

[Star]

What?

Striker?

It really wasn't a big deal. The tuning out? Blah blah, blah blah. But then it was. A. Big. Deal.

Now?

It's stand up time.

"Ermac. Step down. You can't be a Councilor, Asp is a Sentinel, and that makes me Councilor for the Angels."

[Idun]

"Animus( roadnottaken ), as you are the only other qualified Thyrsus to met the requirements, do you wish to take my place on this Council?" Idun asks, looking towards the elder Thyrsus. Fuck I feel like an ass for doing it. Fucking situation we have here.
