    The Circle is a large, imposing building of Gothic Architecture. It is an almost perfect replica of Westminster, but no one ever notices. Sleeper eyes slide over the ruins of what used to be, and only Awakened eyes can pierce the subtle occultation.
    Sanctuary Scenes



    The Circle is, and has always been, the cradle of Sacramento's Awakened. Only every now and then comes the flicker of a hotel or museum else-when.


    Stone walls are a tapestry of history; here, a bullet hole gouge. There, a scorch mark. A dead patch of grass or three in the training yard. Echoing halls that have hosted merriment and arguments. Within these walls each Order has their secrets and privacy -- and yet there is plenty of room to wander and run into others.


    It's been over a month since Truce has been seen, and the Consilium must admit that their newly elected Hierarch pro-tem has left town. In the upcoming days, a few brave souls will confront a Scelesti from two decades ago. A new arrival, Silent , has also been Recognized.

    Antsy Unicorn is Antsy.

    The only Acanthus left, she felt like it was her duty or something to do the Time Jumps. In a couple of days she's gonna jump two decades ago fuck up a Scelesti and definitely not find her dad. Because that would be Bad. Big Bee. Like more then just Big Bee. More Like Giant Bee. A Bee so bad that it'll fuck up Tuesday so bad she'll never Be.

    Holy hell. That's a lot of Bees.

    Shuttering out a breath, Tuesday settles on a pew to laze on, and props up her swanky new guitar case and pulls out Baby and lets her fingers absentmindedly work out her nervous energy.

    Campanella arrives with a sense of urgency. His long coat wafts around him as he strides purposefully into the Circle. It is only once inside that he pauses - had he been expecting the others to be gathered together already?

    With something approaching a sigh he shrugs off his coat and drapes it over an arm. He too, will claim a pew, but he does not sit. Not yet. For he espies Tuesday playing a guitar.

    "That is new."

    He speaks as much to announce his presence as break the silence, counterbalanced by the little bubble of sound around the Acanthus.

    The Moros looks down while he absently adjusts the fall of the coat over his arm.

    The sounds of music pulls Silent into the room and she scans the pews. Only two so far, good that means she isn't completely late yet. She smooths down the folds of her suit pants and hopes she isn't over dressed. Suit pants and a nice blouse is about as dressy as it's gonna get too, cause she's not made of money. She nods to Tuesday as the other woman creates the music. She doesn't know the other guy yet but he looks nice enough. Professor-ish, in her opinion. Of course he could be a total loon who just knows how to dress. The outside covers tend to hide so much.

    Steeling her nerves she decides she may as well introduce herself and get it over with. Her meeting with Star had been.......educational, but she didn't really want to repeat it either. Only way is to just jump into the deep end and pray you can tread the water.

    "Hi." She approaches the other man and extends a hand. Handshakes still work right? Hope so. "I'm Silent, it's nice to meet you."

    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.

    Faye had hopes that this gathering would go better than the last. She had some time to learn more about her new Path and gain a better understanding. So hopefully she’d be able to focus more on what was going on and being said. Well, that was the plan anyways.

    She walks into the Circle wearing distressed black skinny jeans with a white sleeveless shirt. The weather was still a little chilly, so she had her leather coat draped over her arm. Long blonde hair was left down, and she had over sized sunglasses on.

    The music made her smile, there was always a good time for music. Her coffee was raised in a wave, smile on her face,

    “Hey Tuesday, Campanella.” Greets the Shaman before looking towards the new face, “Hi, I’m Faye.”

    A repetitive melody, the cords stuck in her mind, the lyrics hummed under her breathe as she played, trying to work out her bubbling nervous energy.

    "Oh. Hey. Yeah. Star got it for me for Christmas." fingers don't stop moving, but her knee nudges the swanky guitar case. "Isn't it pretty?"

    Oh and Speaking of Star. A glittering golden glyph sparks to life. Can't forget her Shield.

    "That wasn't me trying to be rude bee tee dubs. Just you know. Not wanting to get squirted." Her Baby didn't do well with water. True Story.

    "Oh hey. Sup Silent? Find the Circle okay? Well obviously you found us. But. Were there. You know. Any trouble slash difficulties in doing the finding?" might be an issue to get to depending on the Obrimos' answer.

    Once again humming she brakes it off when she spots the blond, "Hey Faye. That's Silent. And hey look. Guitar~!" the Unicorn grins.

    Campanella takes Silent's proffered hand pleasantly.

    "Campanella."

    He waits while Faye and then Tuesday speak. His smile becomes a little forced when he feels the Acanthus work something in the background. To cover, he continues:

    "So you must be new to the area? Do you have anyone to contact? Perhaps we could help...?"

    Silent blinks as Faye walks in, her jaw opening slightly. Wow......pretty. Then Star's words ring in her ear and she snaps her mouth shut. Ok, so what? Not like he was Tom Cruise or Chris Pratt. But she did see his meaning with Faye to look at.

    Giving herself a mental shake and bringing herself back to the present moment, she smiles and nods to the other woman. "I'm Silent, nice to meet you."

    Then she gives her attention to Campenella. Interesting name. "Yes, I just arrived a few nights ago. Oh I'm good. I've already spoken to Star and met Tuesday. Thank you, though it's appreciated." She smiles, but still seems a bit nervous.

    She nods to Tuesday. "Yeah, Star fave me the address." She holds up her phone. "This makes life a lot easier. And I've had experience getting around in unknown cities. As long as you keep your head on straight you can figure how to get along ok."

    Being homeless for a number of years had taught her how to navigate cities without the benefit of electronic help, but she didn't think mentioning that was necessary. Hopefully she'd be able to find a place soon and she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. After that transportation was on the list. Mundane concerns, but necessary for life.

    The grin was returned as she walks over and kneels near the case. The sunglasses were pushed up on her head as her blue eyes take in the details of the shiny case.

    “Nice! We still have to get together and see if we can work your music into my show sometime.” She wasn’t sure if they could or not, but it would still be fun.

    Her skin gets tingly when Tuesday begins to cast something, but she wasn’t worried.

    Grinning, “Same.” There was a quick nod as she stands to her full height.

    “Ah, good to hear. I’m the local Shaman and of the Ladder. If you ever need a place to stay or anything, let me know, more than happy to help.”

    "♫She's a Rouge and Thief and she'll Temp your Fate♫" Tuesday belted out. Then grinned. Fingers still absently strumming. "Good. Glad you didn't get lost. Sometimes a new city can feel like a warren." unknown to both Tuesday and Silent, the two of them were thinking nearly the same thoughts. Long nights and hard years on the road, in the streets. Guts gnawing, twisting in hunger.

    Beaming at Faye, glad that since they no longer shared a Path, they could still work together, "Oooooh yeah!" Tuesday nods, "I'm still up for it. What do you normally play? I could just do a cover if you want, at least at first."

    Strum

    Hazels blink as fingers work. "I don't know if it was mentioned. But-uh. I'm an Apostate." best get that out of the way. She didn't want to become great friends with the Obrimos only to find out Silent was an elite Diamond only snobby type. Not that Tuesday thought the Guardian was, but. You Never Know. "So there is that." Awkward sounding. But The Unicorn was looking at the Orders. Big Decision. Picking the Right One.

    S'why Apostate. Not really. But kind of.
