    "Organizing a battle of such importance sounds like it has enough leadership to count?" Strix offered to Tuesday's question, even if it wasn't aimed at him directly. He was laying it on thick there, just so that it might sound more acceptable to those Veiled Threat members present who could possibly judge this better than him. That didn't stop him from giving a shrug where he sat, adding, "You could always invite her to watch your leadership skills make this slingshot war happen."

    Though nothing about possibly winning it. Should he be present, Strix would rather try to actually win than just simply participate.

    Sure, there was fun involved in it, as well as bonding between the cabals — but winning was half the fun, right?

    Strix found it rather entertaining to watch this thing going on with Campanella, Faye, and Star pointing it out with no filter to his mouth. Very entertaining, also making him glance in the fellow Moros' direction to catch the heat rising to his cheeks himself. He left it without any comment, however.

    Wait, pies?

    "I rather we eat the pies after battles are fought and won. Or lost." He wouldn't mind sharing with the losing team, but using them for ammunition seemed like a waste to him.

    Campanella gives Strix a droll look.

    "You think there will be any pies left to eat? But of course! When we are done we could head out for a meal or something to that effect."

    The sudden focus on his activities during the Halloween festivities have the Moros on the back foot.

    "Well... We did perchance meet. And there was some dancing." He ventured after a pause to collect himself. "But we went for coffee after your group made it clear the dance floor was theirs." He added after more thought - the words were careful and the look was morphing from slight embarrassment to fragile curiosity.

    What had all that been about?

    "Surely there is no harm in friends and associates meeting socially?"

    Stained glass butterflies surround Tuesday, each pane on their tiny wings glows a verity of iridescent hues, while showing glimpses of what was, what is, and what will be. When vulgar magic is cast, the fluttering cascade doesn't last, they shatter. Falling into dull, colorless dust before vanishing completely.

    "Good to know. Good. To. Know. Tuesday wasn't planning on ambushing her fellow Enchantress and pelting her with things. Nope. Not this Unicorn.

    "What Halloween did you think we were talking about?" were there other Halloweens that ended in a blaze of sounds and colors that Tuesday didn't know about? What sort of Time did Star have in his back pocket? And why was this the first Tuseday was learning about it?

    "Totally blushing. This chickadee knows good blushing when she see it." Tuesday chirps, "....I thought it was gonna be a Tee dee Ess orgy....sooooo...." the Unicorn tries for a shrug, unrepentant.

    "Hopefully. Since Fight Club and Rat-Bro and Wayland and capture the artifact, and yeah..." the words probably didn't make sense to anyone who hadn't been at Fight Club, but meh.

    "No. Pie or cake for the winners, and muffins and ice packs for the losers. And ice packs for the winners too." Tuesday waves an arm in the air, "Or yeah Campy-err-anella burgers or something. Ooooh~! Chili Fries!"

    Squinting at the sun, "Nope. No harm. Nopers."

    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.

    Blue eyes narrow behind sunglasses as Star talks. Yah for sunglasses.

    The sunglasses focus on Star, “My my Star, there’s no real good gossip so are you trying to create some?” she asks breezily, like she was asking about the weather.

    “And yes, she did leave with him. And not that it’s really anyones business who left with who or what a dancing euphemism might or might not be.” She didn’t care who thought what about her, others opinions of her meant nothing to her. But it was clear Campanella was a little uncomfortable and he might value others thoughts more than she did. “Sorry to disappoint you Star, but dancing is just that…dancing. And she’s smiling cause she enjoyed his company and the yummy coffee that followed the club. You sir, read too much into things.” The Monster was raised in a toast of sorts and a drink was taken. See if she shared her Monster with him again.

    Her attention turns to Strix, “Oh! We could, I don’t know, have like a pie contest! You know, everyone bring one and see who can cook and what not. Though count me out on cooking, I never learned to cook, being domesticated is not my thing.” She adds with a laugh. “Though I am all down for tasting them!” there was a grin.

    Attention shifts to Campanella, who had said his own peace about Halloween. “That sounds like a great idea! But instead of heading somewhere, lets have a pot luck or something. Like, everyone brings something.” Sounded like a good idea to her.

    As to his last comment, well, she’d leave that one to Star and the rest of VT. Avis wasn’t here to give her side, and saying something seemed like it would only make herself look bad. So she keeps mum on that.

    “Chili-fries!! I haven’t had those in years! Someone needs to make or bring some of those!”

    Truce's fingers rub idly against his temple at Star's implied meaning of Campanella romantic affairs, as well as Tuesday's suggestion that their invitation to Campanella had some ulterior motive. He decides to follow's Faye's example and just ignore the comment.

    "A meal afterwards sounds pleasant. Pies, or whichever," remarks Truce distantly, not being much of a foodie. But it seemed to be that meals brought people together, or at least made for a good excuse to socialize. It would serve as a good reward response after all was said and done.

    "Well, I'll be sure to grab a few of those supplies before we do meet up. Perhaps someone else can arrange the meal."

    "Maybe!"

    He wasn't ignoring it. And there's way too much pep in the admission to imply any shame.

    "Plus, you know. He's new. So color me curious how he'd, you know. Handle it." From where he lay, the Angel offered a shrug. "And whether you'd defend him. I'm totally Sherlock'ing this. Like, how likely it is he'll end up as a Witness. But he was still totally blushing."

    It's an angelic smile. Maybe the whole s'name ragging-on wasn't forgotten. And if Faye had stayed with Vee Tee? She'd totally know about Jolly Kone fries.

    "I dunno,"
    he craned his head to look at Tuesday. "Maybe there was some other Halloween party. Like, I totally figured with half the city being, you know, Gravediggers, they'd throw a baller party. With ghosts and everything."

    I am Jack's Disappointment.

    "And, nah. No harm. Unless, like, you're paranoid. And think that maybe all the Wise hanging out together just outs one another and makes a target. Strength in numbers is great and all, but it's kind of weird the lone wolf would ask that, you know?"

    Jack's rambling. Maybe pushing a little. Avis isn't here, someone's got to.

    "There would be pies left if we use something else as ammunition," Strix replied with a frown at Campanella, though he nodded at the idea that they could be going for a meal afterwards. "Food afterwards would be good, though." Then he pointed into Tuesday's direction. "Or that. The pies are the prize. You know, the winner takes it all."

    Tuesday's comment about orgies made Strix merely snort, but not comment on it any. He did wonder if anyone else might comment on it. Or sputter indignantly.

    Some people weren't comfortable talking about these things.

    That food had come up, though, reminded Strix that he hadn't eaten yet. Fortunately, his stomach didn't growl like an angry abyssal abomination just yet. Not that he actually knew how one would sound or wanted to. Ever. Some things were better left to the imagination. He just liked the alteration.

    "Steak?" Someone mentioned cows. "We should have some place to store food at the Circle. If just a fridge. A big fridge." Something to consider a possibility to put into the Free Council area, if nothing else.

    Getting some food might be a good idea, perhaps it was for the best they were going to do the slingshot fight later.

    A look of relief passover Campanella's features when Faye comes to the rescue. The look remains, fading slow, as he nods in agreement with the pervading sentiment.

    "A pot luck sounds... better. We could make this place feel a little more lived in; and Star is right - we don't want to make our associations too obvious. But behind these walls its different. This is our home. Apart from our sanctum's its the only safe place we have left. And as it is, its simply a building for our meetings. We should do... more... here. It is the heart of our community, yes? Strix is right - a fridge is the least we can do."

    At the very least the Circle gave them plausible deniability - to an extent.

    "As for food now... I can organise that if you need."

    Shall we start to wrap this scene up?

    Tuesday giggled at the pep in Star's voice, but the Unicorn was more focused on that no one was denying the orgy talk. In fact, no one was saying anything about the orgy talk. Had she spoken to softly? Did they not hear and slash or understand her? Or were they just embarrassed at their orgies, or the lack of them...thought for her Unicorn mind to ponder.

    "That...would have been awesome." says the Unicorn looking at Star, "You totes let us down Necro-dudes." Turning her hazels towards the Mori surrounding them, she give her best if, upside down, disappointed face.

    "It should be teams. Like pick 'em the day of and let the dice roll as they will." scratching her head, "Then like a big dessert reward for the winners. Like a super awesome cake or pie or whatever and food after. For everybody. Potluck. Yeah. Good peeps. Good eats." blinking. "Not that I mean that we eat each other. No cannibalism for this Consilium." she adds, in a sing-song manner. "Campanella can do the food. 'Cause I, the slingshot leader say so! Delegation. Plus he offered." a shrug.

    Hazels are drawn back to her cabalmate, "Oh em gee. Yes! I could eat a whole Imogene, right about now."
