(1503) Councilor Meeting

Mar 13th, 2015 02:27 PM

Asp Avis Casitive Crowley Einstein Xander Ermac Mace Pepper Truce

Damascus stood before the barbecue clad in a pair of shorts, a teal t-shirt, and engaged in turning over a burger with a pair of tongs. To one side a series of plates, an opened box of craft beer and a covered salad bowl and an array of condiments and ingredients lay upon a wooden table. As did the copies of the Lex she’d brought to her last meeting, weighed down by empty glasses in the event that the wind decided to pick up. For now though, the flames of the candles barely flickered in the cool night air.

She glanced toward the door to the brownstone’s interior, wondering when the others would arrive and whether Crowley would be waiting downstairs to let them in.

Truce had heard about the Councilor Meeting from his Cabalmate, as it is their practice to give each other forewarning before inviting outsiders to their Sanctum. But he is in attendance for more reasons than simply residing there as he has been formally made Provost by his Councilor, Mace. He believes that since Mace has expressed an unwillingness to hold the title for much longer, that he should prepare himself to step-in once she has become relieved of it.

The Necromancer is pleasantly surprised by the informality of the preparations, finding it to be more like a party than anything official. Rather than remain stuffy and strict, he allows himself to relax and treat the event as a simple social gathering. He too wears khaki shorts and a short-sleeved buttoned-up shirt and sandals.

Truce approaches Damascus from the stairs. "Nice preparations, Dami. Anything I can do to help set up?"

**Einstein** · Mar 13th, 2015 03:00 PM

Einstein showed up after Truce. It took her a little longer to get ready, cause she had to dig through her closet to actually find her swimsuit. The move had gotten a lot of things placed in weird spots, and she was still tracking some of them down. It was a modest number, nothing like she was sure the others would be bringing along, but it suited her. Plus, it helped prevent sunburns, in some spots.

The Councilor stepped up out of the stairwell that led up, and plopped herself down at the table, facing Damascus. "How's it cooking?" A smile flits across her face at the pun that, really, only Einstein would ever laugh at. That made one person. At least.

**Pepper** · Mar 13th, 2015 09:38 PM

Pepper was not wearing a bathingsuit. Or at least, not visibly. She had loose black-and-grey pants patterned with thin zebra stripes, and she had a pale yellow button-down shirt on. Not her usual suits - but really, she just wasn't up for the heat in them, and her brightest suit was just too much.

But here she was. She took in a deep breath and considered the house before her, then headed to the room as instructed. "Hey! Sorry if I'm early, Anything I can help with?" She glanced to the three members of Tmoin de Sud, and raised an eyebrow at Truce, before giving an approving nod.

Pepper knew what was up with the Moroi, and damn if Truce wasn't stepping into his roll as a soon-to-be Ladder while navigating Mace's insecurities. She was glad, too, that she knew how Mace felt about her position, or she'd be conflicted on whether to approve or be pissed that he was moving in on her sister's seat.
"Should I ask Emrys to come?"

**Avis** · Mar 14th, 2015 08:37 PM

So. The time had come, once again, to shape the Consilium through a piece of paper, a piece of paper which cemented and named the ideas which formed the very conceptual fabric of their society. The last time the representatives of the five paths had gathered in Sacramento, Avis hadn't taken it seriously enough. She hadn't pledged enough of her time or enough effort into it, and the result was the failure that was the last Consilium. There was a chance to move past that, tonight, but it would be a conflict that Avis saw no resolution to, mostly because she was still trying to balance the conflict she felt about the cabalcentric nature of Consiliums in the first place. How could she possibly help balance the Consilium when she, herself, was not yet sure what her feelings about the Consilium were anymore? She had no answer to that, but thankfully part of her purpose here tonight was to be a mouthpiece. That wasn't all she could be, but that was a reference point, at least. She'd start there.

Well, technically she'd start by arriving. Feet clad in sneakers carried her into the room. Hands were stuffed into the pockets of jeans adorned with a wide belt, and a tank top rode under a long sleeve, plaid shirt, with straps of a backpack compressing the fabric over her shoulders.

"We all here?" she questioned around a toothpick, eyes roving over the four other faces atop the roof. Her eyes landed briefly on the alcohol sitting by the food, and a grimace flickered over her face. Ah well. At least they weren't sitting a fucking flower garden again.

**Emrys** · Mar 14th, 2015 08:50 PM

No sooner was Pepper's question posed then a knock at the door signaled Emrys's arrival. Like his Councilor, the Provost was not visibly wearing a bathing suit, just a baggy pair of jeans, a dark blue t shirt under a black hoody, and a black pair of boots.

"Hey folks." Emrys said with a wave as he followed Avis into the...... huh. When he heard the Councilors and Provosts were meeting he was not expecting something so, nice? No, informal. Granted he hadn't bothered dressing up, but he really never thought he'd see the day where Truce would be in shorts and sandals either.

"I think we're waiting on Mace and the other Provosts." The Enchanter said to Avis. Eyes flicked over to the beer, but the meeting hadn't even began, so it probably wasn't the best time to start drinking.

Mace hesitated outside the building, looking up as the others walked in. At this point, all she could do was hope that this meeting went better than the others. She suspected that several of her ideas might be unpopular, at least at first. Pepper agreed at least. But the others? Who would be willing to take on more work at this point in time?

There was no way to know without going in, however. So she took a deep breath, and then joined the others on the roof. "Sorry I'm late," she said. "Hi everyone." She shot her sister a smile, and then went over to join Truce. "Thanks for being here," she said. "Anyone contact you after the meeting?"

Ermac arrived dressed casually in a black t-shirt, jeans, and board shorts underneath. His courier bag slung over his shoulder containing a notepad, pen, and a towel.

He was here to assist Einstein. It was going to be an interesting night. "Hello friends. How are we?"

Truce greeted each guest in turn as they arrived and made their way to the rooftop. Three Provosts, Five Councilors. These were the representatives of each Path within Sacramento. Despite the informality of their gathering, Truce is acutely aware of the risk of bringing such figures together. He hopes their meager security is enough to dissuade any worries. Their Sanctum's location is a fairly new one and may unlikely draw the attention of the Consilium's enemies.

Truce could sense Gyges's absence palpably.

As his Councilor addresses him he responds somewhat distantly. "No, Level and Pelican have not. Neither have Bishop or Darkslide. I think we can assume the latter two have left the city. It could well be the lack of unity and preparation at the last gathering may have discouraged them from remaining." Along with Gyges, it seems.

Turning to the rest of those gathered, Truce announces to them. "Everyone, welcome, please make yourselves comfortable. Grab a plate and a drink and relax for the moment. I've no doubt there's a lot on everyone's minds so don't hold back if you wish to speak your thoughts. As you can tell, we are setting aside the need for formalities today so that you can speak freely. But I hope when everyone has sated themselves that we can review the matters from the previous forum and any updates you would like to share."

Hopefully everyone has heard him clearly and listens for any replies before adding. "Please let Damascus, Einstein, or myself know if you have any additional needs."
