    Nimbus

    Einstein's Nimbus manifests as a light surrounding her, often covering up her features with its brightness. When triggered by her Vice, it takes on an eerie blue glow and seems to be coming from some opening behind her. When triggered by her Virtue, it manifests as an angelic glow about her, sometime accompanied by a halo-seeming thing above her head.

    Einstein sat in the car with the others, outside of the library. Rabbit had also joined them, sitting in the back of the car. Einstein still didn't like her, and the Obrimos spent most of the drive over shooting the Sleepwalker suspicious looks over her shoulder. Nonetheless, she tossed up an Aura transformation, the same one she'd thrown up on the Cabal before they left, making them all look like just ordinary Sleepers, out for a trip to the library.

    Once they were parked outside, Einstein turned and looked at all the others. "Alright, so, we all ready? Go in there, Rabbit, you take us to where you saw the apparition last time, and we'll take it from there?" Apparition, not ghost. Could have been some sort of an illusion. Who knows.

    Truce

    Fair-skinned and thin, Truce does not appear to get out much, choosing instead to pursue more studious endeavors. He appears as a typical college student, wearing button up shirts, slacks, and a sports coat at times. His hair is dark brown and wavy, his eyes hazel.

    Truce is behind the wheel watching the road and abiding by traffic laws habitually as he drives them in his mid-sized Impala towards the Sacramento University where the Banishers are said to lurk. There is a palpable tension that comes with the idea of crossing enemy lines but Truce steels himself by concentrating on their task. A possibly valuable work of occult knowledge rests within the university walls along with a Ghost of unknown origins. The Necromancer wears no spells upon his pattern save for the one Einstein has placed. He does not speak though his unease is easy to detect.

    He brings with him no equipment aside from the vehicle which he parks outside of the address he was given. He doubts his tools would do him much good if they were to be discovered for their true natures.

    Like Truce, Crowley bought no tools with him. Gear of any kind would be raise too many questions, and questions here... in this Banisher infested University...? Well... it would not be pretty. He hadn't changed his appearance much either: still the metal head although now without the trench coat. Today he had a ratty old jacket to go with his black jeans, dock martens and touring band T shirt; no bandana today but there was a necklace that looked suitably pagan.

    The Acanthus wares no spells, trusting in his Cabal mates working, and in full understanding he must look like a Sleeper. Crowley was pulling that part off - the sleeping well enough. He was curled up in a corner of the back seat, face pressed against the window, apparently dozing lightly.

    "What? Uh oh... <cough>" he muttered as he slowly uncoiled.

    Rabbit's face straddles the line between smug-amusement and placid-attention. The red-hat is nowhere to be seen leaving her platinum blonde hair free, standing out against the blacks and grays she wears. A bag of tools sits next to her, things the woman has MacGuyver'd over the years, most like.

    In the belly of the beast, the Cabal and Sleepwalker have come.

    The brick edifice is ancient and green ivies stretch their tendrils over the battlements. The night in the parched Californian landscape is still. It's a weeknight. Students aren't out and about and the rare silhouette of a person moves like a tangible shadow in the foreground. Einstein's car clicks as the once fiery engine cools.

    Alright, hope you are ready friends.” The amused lilt in the Sleepwalker's voice teases.

    Climbing out of the car, Rabbit's posture becomes all business as she checks around before skulking towards a darkened side-door.

    Einstein notes Rabbit's enthusiasm. Why was she so amused? Shouldn't she be scared of whatever might be about to happen? Maybe she was just hiding it exceptionally well - she was a trained professional, after all. Einstein got out of the car, walking after Rabbit and looking around suspiciously. "Why are we using the side door? Isn't that more suspicious than going in through the front door, like normal people?" Like Normal People, wasn't that the mantra of the thief?

    Truce doesn't speak to answer Rabbit, but locks his car after their exiting, pocketing the keys and reluctantly walking after the two women. Nothing feels right about this, yet Truce tries his best to cling to the promise of academic and occult preservation of knowledge. It could be that the influence of his Mysterium mentor may be playing its part. His gaze lingers on Rabbit, tempted to bring forth the Sight and explore the tell-tale signs of her intentions.

    Cracking a yawn and running fingers vigorously through his hair, Crowley exits the car and stretches. Less interested in the discussion regarding entry, his eyes sweep the darkened campus. No parties. No drunken students wandering about. No pranks to be seen. Shock horror! The movies were not true.

    Crowley was disappointed.

    "I thought these places would be wilder... Are they normally this quiet or are we in the middle of holidays or something?"

    Einstein doesn't see anything worth mentioning. The grounds for, for the most part, empty and bereft of eyes to spy on this and that. Lights dot the landscape and familiar blue pillars for Emergency Phone Calls line the pathways every few hundred feet.

    There is however a security camera above their heads.

    Rabbit hums a jaunty little tune as she reaches into her bag and removes a set of lock-picks. The tune stops as she answers two questions, “First, because no one normal breaks into the front door when the library is closed. Second, because that camera,” a look above, “is broken. Third, this isn't the weekend,” from Thursday to Sunday, “for there to be any activity. Now,” a theatrical pause, “anyone want to shine a light and help while I finish this?

    Ya'll can run a teamwork Dex + Larc roll here!

    Truce hasn't the least bit of experience in the art of breaking and entering. He's fairly certain that he doesn't want to gain any either as it's fairly apparent in his ability to stand around uselessly. He wonders if Rabbit is 'for real' about the camera or just making assumptions so as not to discourage her helpers. He doesn't trust her, that is for certain. How could you trust a thief?

    Crowley huffed.

    "Give it here," he mutters. Eyes flick to the camera and after a moment's hesitation he moves closer with the proffered light. "Well okay... You cased the place earlier, right?" The last was more for his Cabal-mates than Rabbit.

    The quicker they were inside, the quicker this could be done, and the sooner they could resolve this whole... irritating... situation. Alice... and her friends!
