    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-memory 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.

    After only a month, Silent has moved on to greener pastures. Other Mages have returned from the past, but history now shows Andrew Cunanan was never found and no one has seen Strix...

    ...What Happened?

    The usually chipper Tuesday was more like a Wednesday today.

    The unicorn's usually gravity defying hair was...not. It wasn't styled, or pushed up because of nervous fingers tugged and twisted the locks, nor was there the cowlick that showed her near patented hair-rake. It just flopped, like the sad droopy ears of a kicked dog.

    Hell, she wasn't even wearing color. Nothing glimmered or sparkled, there was not ever a random text-filled tee spouting words about Tinkerbell or Unicorns.

    Once more no pants could be seen, but this time it wasn't a top with a skirt. It was a bonea fide dress. Black, with white, and her wall-mart cheep boots were replaced by once that were newer, and not broken in, but they shined in the light. Around her neck was a circle of thorns. Well necklaces thorns.

    They knew what befell Arthur, just who built the Clock. Cunanan was dead, the Acamoth fizzled into nothing, but...but. Tuesday watched Strix take a wrong step and became nothing .

    Facts that only she, Faye and Avis knew.

    Fucking shit.

    With a shaken head, the Enchantress claimed a pew and waited for the others.

    Angel in the hooouse.

    Or Circle. One day? There's be some Forces-amped theme music. Something like this. Today? Just a super-stuffed backpack with the usual Henley, khakis, and car coat. Super-stuffed with a propane thang for Le Mysteriad and a thermos.

    "Sup girrrrrrrrrl."


    He flops the pack down and pulls out the thermos, a Zip-Loc, and a glass mason jar. Shaken, not stirred. Actually blended, but right now it's getting shaken. Eventually a pink sludge rolls out of the thermos into the jar and he garnishes it with the contents of the baggie.

    "Voila. How's you, stranger?"
    Cue The Doors. "And that necklace is, like, totally fierce. You worried about someone strangulating you? Does it hurt to wear?"

    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.

    If she was being honest, she didn’t really want to go to the Circle. She wanted to stay in bed, sipping Absinthe and trying not to move a whole lot. Her body hurt in ways it hadn’t hurt in a long time. That trip back in time kicked her ass, ok, well, all the Paradox’s she threw around kicked her ass. And as such, she wanted to stay comfortable in bed and not have to be social.

    But, as one of the ones who made the trip, she needed to be at the Circle to talk about what happened. What they did and what happened to Strix.

    But it didn’t mean she was going to be cheerful and happy about it.

    And to show Star that she had been listening, she cast both sight and shield before she left her loft.

    So she walked into the Circle more casual than usual in the leggings she usual trained in with, an oversized t-shirt over them and comfortable UGG boots on her feet. Her long hair wasn’t brushed and was just thrown into a messy lose bun on her head. There was no makeup on her face which was more pale than usual, but she was there. A box of coffee was being carried in one hand, and her usual can of Monster in the other. And no, she wasn’t sharing, this was her way of becoming human enough to be there.

    Seeing Tuesday and Star a weak smile was offered, “Hey guys.” She mumbles before finding a pew to slink into.

    Blue and green eyes roam the church. No, church isn't right. Cathedral, looks pretty damn familiar too. From somewhere. Loose, roaming steps fade as Trope's eyes wander over the outside again. Rule one, never go outside naked, already done. Rule two, don't piss of bigger fish.

    Kinda...na got to be history about this place.
    The old man wouldn't send Thrope into a Seer's house on day one. Maybe day three...for kicks.

    Three fingers hold his duffel bag, and nearly every damn thing he owns, with a light touch. Sadly it can all be left behind if shit hits the fan. Thrope's right hand flexes as memories of violence flash in preparation. You don't walk into someone else's House without expecting problems.

    Placing his right hand on the door Thrope opens it gently and steps inside. Purposeful steps sound off as Thrope slowly makes his way inside. Where the hell is everyone.

    As individuals come into view Thrope comes to a stop. Suddenly old jeans and a plain white t-shirt don't feel right.

    "Hello... I was told this was the place to come for the Five?" The tone is questioning but the man asking is clearly ready to move if something happens.

    The Moros councillor staggers from the Mysterium lab sanctum, tired and wan from a night's worth of frustration experimentation that had been followed by a lack of sleep, a sudden panic at the time, and a crippling embarrassment of failure. Fortunately Campanella had held his nerve till the last and had pushed through by sheer force of will.

    Dressed in shirt and jeans, he had nonetheless forgotten to remove the plastic yellow gloves. At least his shield and sight were up. The shirt though, probably ruined with that stain on it. The highest ranked Mysterium agent. Caught with a shirt splattered with dye-like substances. His hair stuck up like a crest on one side yet plastered his skull on the other. He reeked of cleaning agents and hot fumes.

    At least his work had been a success. Pity the old time jumping costume was probably scrubbed half way to oblivion by now.

    He sagged into the pews once he reached them, looking for all the world like he'd nodded off.

    "Present." He managed to mumble.

    A dude you cannot be that slow look. "The sky boooi" a snort.

    Hazels light up at the Star-nanigans only to really sparkle as some of the Wednesday leaves her face. "Oh em gee. Strawberry kiwi smoothie. Oh em gee." queue grabby hands and a shoulder bump as the unicorn digs in to her treat.

    "Mer?" blink, lips leave her straw, "It pokes. Not gonna lie. But it felt, you know, appropriate. Since. Well. You prolly don't know yet." She returns to her smoothie. "Yeah, gonna wait for Avis and - oh hey, Faye." Tuesday doesn't wave, hands are occupied by her smoothie, but hazels catch the causal wear and the mountain of caffeine, the unicorn knew that feeling. "So just Avis if she's gonna pop in."

    There's a voice that Tuesday doesn't know. She turns to look at the new face. Huh, not bad. Best way to get away from all the big ess Stuff, is to get away from all the big ess Stuff. "Yeah Five. Diamonds. Words that start with 'Pinn' and end in 'acle'. Little but totally adorable Unicorns, and idiotic Archangels that don't know any better."

    Her eyes are taken off the stranger when the Moros makes his - disheveled - appearance. "Campanella, you are late!" she teases, just slightly worried on how the man would take the news on Strix. On one hand, Moros. On the other...well. Tuesday didn't know Campanella all that well, so she really didn't know how'd he take the news.

    It's the Fourth of July.

    As glyphs blossom around the Angel he watches (totally studies) each like a kid watching fireworks over the bay. Dang, Campy. Shoulda drank your V-8. That sure doesn't bode well for any romantic interests. Yiiiiikes. Each signature got neatly filed away, leaving the angel with a full set except for Valley Boy.

    Also? Faye's looking rough. Like three day Molly and coke binge rough. He's never seen that, and it gets a raised eyebrow. The roughness. Not the legs. Can't Shamans just winkle away the Morning After? "Hey yourself. There's some strawberry kiwi smoothie left if you want it...," he shook the thermos. Sure, it's a Tuesday treat but... rough.

    He's watching the New Guy. Because new. No Avis , Faye's still rough, Campy looked like a constipated man trying to drop an Initiate spell, and Tuesday's one of his girls. So that leaves angel on Bad Guy duty. "Yarp," he answers Thrope casually. "Who's you?"

    A pointy chin rests on forearms folded over the back of a pew. "I don't know what I don't know," he agrees with Tuesday. "...It's cute, though."

    Blue eyes lazily move to look at the new guy, Monster raised to her lips. A free hand is raised and a wave is offered,

    “Hi,” greets the Shaman, “Yup, you’ve found it, and you are?” cause without a name and Path, they kinda didn’t have anything.

    She then looks to Campanella, who looked worse than she was sure she did, chuckling, and motioning to the box of coffee at her side, “I didn’t intend to share, but you look like you need some of this too. It’s just plain black coffee, help yourself.” This was Faye being nice, sharing her coffee cause he clearly had a rough night or day or whatever.

    Offering Tuesday a smile, “Hey.” She hopes Avis pops in, cause they needed to tell the story of their trip. What happened, and that Strix was gone. Which sucked, with how small their numbers were, another loss was huge.

    A grateful smile was offered to Star as he held out the smoothie, “Thanks, but I think once I get enough caffeine in me I’ll feel more human. And my body heals, so yeah, think I’ll just with caffeine. But it does sound yummy.” But she needed caffeine. She knew what made her feel better, and if she didn’t think she’d get weird looks, she would have totally bought a flask.
