    The Libertine Lorehouse had been a work in progress for some time. Some might say to long, others might say not long enough, but either way it was where the next Eternal Concilium was held.

    A table of food and drinks was laid out for the Concilium in what for all intents and purposes looked like an empty warehouse. It wasn't glamorous, but it's what Emrys and his fellow Libertines had put together. The Syndic himself had found a seat with a full plate of sweets and sandwiches with a bottle of water. If he had to pay he was gonna enjoy the buffet, or at least as much as he could before Einstein stormed in for holding Concilium at the Lorehouse.

    It was gonna be an interesting night, at least for him.

    Ermac

    Ermac's car rolled up to the Lorehouse. He looked upon it rather forlornly. He had a hand in ensuring that this was ever built. The emotional sting that it left was felt deep in his chest. I wonder what they've done with the place?

    He knew himself to be right for leaving. Aquinas inquiring his motives for leaving. Crowley asking what he would do next. Each interaction still held that lingering feeling. The magics of the Aether surrounded and protected him. Yet, even the Watchtower could not stave off the mixture of grievance and remorse.

    As he had said, "I endure." That he did.

    The former Libertine stepped out of his car and entered. Emrys - his Cabalmate - was the only one in sight. "Emrys," he greeted him with a polite tone. "Thank you for hosting." His eyes gravitated the rest of the room, seeing what if anything had been altered since he spoke with Einstein.

    He pulled up fairly early into the evening and headed inside the Eternal Consilium. He hadn't been to many Consiliums since he got to town but he knew the gist by now. Mages, conversations, meetings. Usually all of that was punctuated with fighting, though the last meeting at been a positive change. He had readied himself before leaving home and so he felt safe even in a new environment. The Guardians didn't always have a good reputation with the Free Council, what with the opposing ideals, so he was on guard upon getting inside.

    All of that went out the window when he realized the only ones there so far were other Veiled Threats. He had a fleeting imagine of Einstein through his mind and wondered if she'd be here, what with the meeting taking place at the Free Council HQ. Probably not, she was pretty adamant about quitting. How would it be to see her again after their last meeting? He closed his eyes and remembered there'd be no drinks here. Well shit.

    Strange as it may seem for the experienced Acanthus, he had never come to the Lorehouse before. As it was, neither the Curator he had become, nor the Sigilholder of Fateful Watch could pass upon an Eternal Consilium, and he arrived to the Lorehouse arrayed for the night. Dark suit, white shirt. Timeless good taste.

    The warehouse felt strange at first. Perhaps because he had come expecting computers, and tech everywhere ? Anyway, he was here as much for the people as for the scenery, so he quickly hide his disappointment. The Veiled Threats were in number, even if attendance was still low. Not much Miach could do but go and talk to them. With a longing glance toward the buffet, he joined Emrys and Ermac.

    "Good evening gentlemen. I can see there's plenty of room here." he started with, noncommitally.

    Bahlam showed up a few minutes early because he had a couple of things he wanted to get done. The location was a bit of surprise but expecting it to compare to LA was probably stupid on his part. When he entered, he was glad to see it was the right place and that he knew a number of people already in attendance. Approaching the group of mages, Bahlam said, "Hello Gentlemen."

    Vulgar: Color drains from the immediate area and depth perception becomes temporarily skewed, everything seeming to draw in uncomfortably close, making rooms smaller and all but distant objects seem in reach.
    Vice: Color drains from Avis and her facial features seem indistinct and grainy, as though her identity is growing less defined.
    Virtue: Colors appear more vibrant and everything seems to become grander in scale.

    Avis strolled into the Free Council's warehouse, trying out a new look. Which, some could definitely mistake for an act of vanity. Really, it wasn't. It was because this was a safe space to try it out. An experiment, of sort, to see how people reacted. To see how well she blended. 'Cause the last thing she wanted was to try something like this on Banishers without testing it first. She might be an Arrow, sure, but unlike Asp she couldn't just march up to someone and hug them to death. No, the element of surprise was definitely something she paid more attention to. Camouflage, after all, was a tool every military used.

    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.

    "EMRYS."

    The name rolled through the room like thunder. The origin wasn't hard to pinpoint. The woman came in just a few minutes after Avis, but she certainly decided to make an entrance. The second she stepped through the door, the light in the room shifted subtly, just for a moment, bathing the woman in a bright glow, easily outlining the anger on her face.

    The woman, dressed in her Gandalf the Grey costume - she'd thought it would be more impressive - had subtly twisted the sound coming from the area directly around her, to amplify it by quite a bit. Add to that the fact she had already raised her voice, and she was fairly easily noticeable. Einstein was completely concentrated on Emrys, not an ounce of focus put anywhere else, even with the multiple other people in the room she might want to yell at.


    "Outside. Now."

    Maybe if the conversation went well, she'd yell at them too.

    Emrys smiled and waved at everyone he knew as people began filing into the lorehouse. It had been months since they found the place, and months it had been nearly empty. To see it actually put to use for once beyond the hypothetical kept his spirits high.

    "No problem Ermac." He said as he finished off a sandwich. It seemed he was either pretty hungry or just trying to eat what he could before the inevitable.

    And inevitable it was. He jumped in his seat from the sheer undeniable volume his name was called out in. Sure, he expected her to lash out, but seriously? Theurgists.

    The Enchanter popped up from his seat and scanned the crowd. "Welcome to the Lorehouse everyone! Grab a bite, talk to people, and let it be known that I was last seen exiting the Lorehouse with Gandolf the Grey!" He picked a hoagie off his plate and smirked at Einstein as he headed over. An offhand comment about how she had even heard about the get together over in middle-earth danced on his mind, but he decided he liked his face without the C-Fire scars so it remained unspoken.

    Ermac

    As he was about to reply, he turned his head to the source of the sound. Einstein made her appearance. Seeing her Gandalf robe and ordering Emrys outside, a rhetorical question passed through his mind. Why am I not surprised? The Syndic Host being yelled at by an angry cosplayer was schadenfreude to the former Libertine.

    Turning to July, "If you hear the sound of M-Eighties, you might want to step back. Einstein's got a temper."

    July had wandered over to where Emrys and Ermac stood just as Einstein barged in. She never looked his way and for once he didn't have any plans of interfering in the fight. He fixed himself a glass of sweet tea, taking a sip and thinking to himself, I may be a Sentinel, but that's none of my business.

    He hadn't had a chance to greet Miach or Bahlam before Ermac addressed him. "I will certainly watch out for any of that." He was aware of Einstein's temper, that was part of what drew him to her. Then again the rage she seemed to have right now would not end in a motel room with July, so he held his plans to stay far away. He also wasn't sure anyone should know that they know each like that any time soon.

    He then turned to Miach and said, "Good to see you again Miach." Then it was Bahlam who earned his gaze. "I'm July, and you are?" he said with an extended hand.
