    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.

    Circle of Creation, Altar

    The Circle of Creation serves as the social center for the Magi of Sacramento. Within the imposing Gothic structure are designated spaces for each Order to hold Caucus. All who participate in the Pentacle are welcome here. All who have been recognized by the Consilium have the right and obligation to attend when a formal meeting is called. The Council will gather once more to deliberate on the state of their community.

    Before the cathedral altar and beneath the domed lantern are rows of wooden chairs for the Consilium members to sit. On the raised dais are five larger evenly spaced wooden chairs for each member of the Council. A table sits off to the side, laden with piles of bundled cloth and a flat wooden box. And beside that is the large ornate podium where Truce can be found waiting patiently for members to arrive.

    The Councillor is clad in his formal robe, deep violet edged with brown trim and held by clasps of lead.

    He had promised a ceremony before the start of the meeting and he seems eager to begin. He nods politely to those who greet him, making a small wave to those who he calls friend.

    "Thank you for coming. Find your seats, please. We will begin our opening ceremony shortly," he says after a time, allowing arrivals to greet each other but reminding them all that they're on a schedule.

    Wayland entered the circle dressed all in black. As a general rule he didn't like dressing to his Path, as too many Awakened held stereotypes about those on the Path of Doom regarding their state of dress, which was why he liked to wear loud colours to baulk the trend. Tonight however was a formal Concillium meeting so he decided to be the man-in-black for the evening, black suit, black shirt and black tie. A look that wouldn't see him out of place at a funeral.

    Wayland nods his greeting to Truce as he enters and takes his place by the entrance to guard the door against intruders until everyone had arrived.

    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.

    Things were on the agenda to discuss, most important, some maybe not so much. She wasn’t sure how it was going to go if anyone asked her opinion on the stupid rings, but, she’ll cross that bridge then.

    She decided to wear a dress under her robe for the meeting. It was green in color and hit just above her knees. Nude colored heels, little to no makeup and her hair down completed it.

    As she walks in, a nod and smile was offered to Wayland before making her way over to Truce.

    She then slips her own robe on, a deep forest green with a deep blue trim, she offers a smile,

    “Ready? Here’s to the meeting going without a hitch.” She really wanted it to go smoothly without fighting. On can hope right?

    Campanella arrives, parking his car a little away from the gothic pile of the Circle and walking back. Tonight he has dressed in a dark blue (almost black) suit with a crisp dress shirt and cuff-links depicting some alchemical sign. Cheesy, perhaps but he found their weight and shape pleasing. Handkerchief carefully folded in his coat pocket. The tie was shades of claret.

    No Shield tonight. The Moros mystogogue feels that perhaps that would send the wrong message to the Council and the other Awakened. This was their Sanctuary after all; to carry a Shield here would imply that one does not think it safe.

    Campanella inclines his head to Wayland as he passes. Once inside, the Moros walks smartly over to where the gathering will take place and takes a chair. He runs a finger along his forehead once, slightly adjusting his hair - a sign his prickly sixth sense had picked up something. Eyes rove and bounce across the vaulted space; finding nothing they drop down onto Faye and Truce.

    He inclines his head to both of them. A deeper one for his Councillor and possible Hierarch-elect. A wry smile, soft and light, worms its way up one side of his face. Campanella finds the robes to be a nice touch. Old World formal, thick with the weight of tradition.

    Campanella approved.

    Strix's car was parked not too far from where he had found another one already waiting for its owner. Locking it up, he walked the rest of the way towards the Circle of Creation. For the event, he had made sure his appearance matched the occassion, wearing a black suit, a white dress shirt, and a dark grey satin tie that was almost reminiscent of stone — because, as everyone knew, the Moros loved dirt stones, right? — and had even gone and styled his usual messy hair back. A tie pin with a purple amethyst kept his tie well in place; it had been a pretentious gift of his grandfather at some point, but at least it served a purpose these days.

    Unlike what his usual casual appearance might imply, Strix didn't outright dislike dressing more formally, especially not if there was an actual reason for it. It still was more comfortable to wear jeans instead of a suit. At least, the colors associated to his path were easy to sort out. If he had to wear anything green or the like, people might think him a leprechaun.

    His hands were in his pockets as he stepped into the Circle. "Wayland," he said, nodding at his cabalmate but didn't stay around because he didn't want to be the reason for the formal opening the Silver Ladder had planned to need to be put on hold. Making his way where the ceremony would take place, Strix found a chair and gave a polite nod at Truce and Faye each in turn.

    "Campanella," he said in way of greeting the other Moros, undoing the button of his jacket before sitting down.

    "Strix. Welcome." Campanella twisted in his seat and inclined his head briefly. "Nice suit. Suits you. Is that... Amethyst? Its a nice touch." A pause. The Moros thought of adding something further, but refrained. Instead he focussed on the essence of the meeting. "Will you be participating in the formalities? I feel we should, if only to support our Councillor."

    It was a fair ice breaker and Campanella hoped he could use it to learn a little more about his fellow Moros. Strix was one of the few had got fully acquainted with at the last gathering.

    Fisher arrived and looked around the circle from the entrance. She noticed Wayland standing there and frowned in consideration. He was certainly being surly lately, and she had no idea what was his problem. As unpleasant as the prospect was, she may have to sit down with him and talk to him about his behavior. His big-headedness was getting a little out of control, which was odd since he didn't seem to actually do much but walk around acting tough.

    Based on how things could likely progress, given how hotheaded wayland and some others were, she stepped off to the side and gathered her will about her. She let it settle about her, drifting into her skin and toughening it. Next she gathered her will and focused on strengthening her sight, and she imagined it empowering her vision to see the delicate threads of magic and the touch of the supernal in their world. She moved in slowly turning circles and humming a droning beat as her rote took hold.

    The dark-skinned, black-haired woman wore her hair loose about shoulders and it brushed up against the material of her beaded buckskin jacket. A purple tanktop was underneath, and the handles of her bowie knives could be seen on her belt inside the open front of her jacket. Her legs were covered with a comfortable pair of broken in bluejeans, the ends of which rested on the tops of her hiking boots.

    When she was prepared she finally nodded in greeting to Wayland and moved in further to approach the others.

    "Hi, guys and gal!"
    Fisher said in greeting to everyone present. She reached into her jacket pocket, pulled out a large bag of peanuts and started munching on some. "I'm not too late it looks like."

    "Peanut?" She asked holding up the bag.

When vulgar magic is cast, the fluttering cascade doesn't last, they shatter. Falling into dull, colorless dust before vanishing completely.

    For someone who's all 'I fix things' Wayland was totally acting all doom and gloom necro-dude. If Fisher was an aberration and Wayland was the default Arrows came in...maybe it was a good thing Tuesday gave the Orders the finger. Because Kill Joy.

    This unicorn's gonna sparkle.

    Which is why her top had rhinestones. And her earnings weren't studs or nothing, but a pair of elven earcuffs. With amethysts. Because matching.

    Her jeans were clean-ish. They didn't have any noticeable stains and they didn't stink. At least they didn't when Tuesday did the snuff test. They were fine.

    Fiiiine.

    Bouncing up the steps Tuesday draws the subtle threads of Fate around herself to guard her back in the moments she couldn't do it herself. Giving Wayland a wink on her way through, Tuesday quickly found where the others were gathering.

    "Fisher! Fisher. Oh Em Gee! Fisher you're wearing the shirt!" the unicorn squees. Then does a happy dance. She didn't know if the shaman had found her prezzie yet. But it looked like she did and liked it~!

    A blink. "Oh. Hi." One hand waves, while the other snakes around to steal some peanuts. "'Sup?"

    "Hm?" He glanced down at his ensemble, as if needing a reminder what he was currently wearing before chuckling. "Oh, thank you. It's one of the few less casual things I owe. Along with the pin. The stone is an amethyst, yes — you've got a good eye." Strix shifted a little in his seat to better look at Campanella while speaking. "I can give that compliment only back, though. The suit works very well for you."

    When the formalities were mentioned, Strix made a noise that he himself wasn't sure how to interpret. He glanced away from his fellow Moros to their councilor, who was clearly vibrating to get things started.

    Strix had usually just hung back at these things, let others do their political games and hung around long enough before leaving again. He really hadn't done much to fit into the Consilium in Indianapolis, partially because of not wanting to get too involved with everything due to his family's presence in the city. "I haven't really considered it," he confessed when he looked back to Campanella, amending a moment later, "well, actually, there was this 'get your magical talent recognized' that Truce spoke of at the last gathering in the Circle, but I'm still not sold that Discipline is all that impressive. I imagine you are one yourself in one Arcanum or another...though I kind of forgot to think about it before this meeting."

    Glancing towards Fisher, he lifted a hand at her in greeting. "Fashionably on time, I would say. And I'm good, thank you," he replied to Fisher, declining the peanuts and turning his eyes at Tuesday when she came over. "Waiting for all to be present, beyond that nothing, really. Nice outfits you two have, I like your," he mimed with one hand at his ear the jewelry Tuesday was wearing, "looks very Acanthus."

    Brother Rat enters the main area of the Circle from the Silver Ladder's section of the building. A copy of the current charter with a notebook and pens were tucked under one arm and he wore a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up tucked into navy slacks. He had arrived early to assist in preparing the building for the formal meeting and he didn't doubt that he would stay late to help clean up after it had closed. The duties of the Acolyte were manifold and rarely glamorous.

    He gives a nod of greeting to everyone that he has met, but he takes his seat without a word, since a Councilor had called everyone to order. While he waits, he flips through the charter once again to refresh himself.
