    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.


    Avis and Star have left, and Veiled Threats dissolved, but other cabals are forming...

    I don't mind if snarling continuity for the two cabals to be formed. Threads got a little wonky and I think it would be worse on continuity to totally avoid possible cabal talk in this thread versus being able to just announce them as being done.

    The Theater was big and echo-y.

    Warmer then it had been a week ago with different sounds or smells, ones she really wasn't used to, but they were there, and that meant everything.

    So with a whole lotta pep in her step, the unicorn makes her way to the Circle.

    Because Dude. Time to make the Announcement~

    New kicks and swanky (not really) jeans, and an totally awesome tank top it wasn't their Zero Foxes Given, but it was still just as awesome. The unicorn was maybe, just a little bit, hyper.

    (could you tell?)

    It wasn't Vee Tee, but she didn't want it to be.

    Trying to force people into that mold and clinging to Vee Tee's memory, and to the memory of Avis and Star, would do anyone good.

    So new Cabal, fresh start...
    ...even if she (and they) are living in the Theater.

    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.

    Her last visit to the Circle had seen a small influx of new Awakened.

    Would today be the same? Would more new Mages appear looking for a safe place and willing to help defend what they had here? Or would it be like usual gatherings where words were spoken, some plans made and everyone going on their way? With two cornerstones gone, would they be able to pull together to keep fighting?

    It was hard to tell sometime. But none the less, Faye made her way there, parking the GTO about a block away. She pulls her leather coat on over her fitted one shoulder black shirt, the Circle was drafty sometimes. Black skinny jeans and sandals completed her look. Long blonde hair had been pulled into a loose ponytail and a coffee was in her hand.

    Sunglasses get pushed onto the top of her head as she enters and a sip of the amazing lifesaving coffee taken.

    Seeing Tuesday, the coffee was raised in salute, “Hey you. What’s up?” greets the Shaman with a grin as she slides her coat off.

    Cabal? Check. Councilor? Check. Order? Rain check.

    It wouldn't be long now, but soon Bolide would be mistaken for someone responsible. A bonafide member of the ruling Council who totally didn't fumble a jaunt into the woods and a sideways path meet into some semblance of legitimacy. Now all he really needed was a clue what to do with his newfound social clique and political authority and he'd be set.

    After he drove up to the Circle and parked, he grabbed his hoodie out of the passenger seat. Officially well into spring any jacket much less double layers weren't going to be practical outside, so he tossed on his magic hoodie as he made his way into the Circle. Standard blue jeans, black boots, and black t shirt finished the look, just as the subtle pulses of cloaked magic finished the routine.

    Where last time Bolide had gone immediately towards the people, this time he took his time looking at all the little marks and scars the building had endured. Having bungled his way through his first ever fight club, Bolide started to wonder who could have done what in the past. That bullet hole? The scorch mark? He had a good idea on at least one of those patches of grass, but a lot of those scars remained a mystery.

    "Hello ladies." Bolide said as he finally started to walk over to the pair before pointing back towards the scars. "Have either of you ever looked into these marks along the Circle?"

    "The sky~" the rasp sing-songs.

    "I'm good. Happy. Hyper. Good. It's just. Us. You know? Lookin' bright." Head shake, smile. "How's you?"

    Moving from foot to foot, the unicorn a font of energy, waves at the newish dude and hopefully the new Obrimos Councilor, since if not, Archy. And let's not.

    "I've looked, but I dunno what's the cause of most of 'em. The grass I can guess at, but the other dings and stuff. No clue." Hazels flit around the space. "Adds a bit of character to the place though, doesn't it?"

    Campanella is incognito tonight.

    Maybe he's trying something different. Maybe all the suits are in the wash. Perhaps he is feeling remorse at his loss of control. Whatever the reason, he appears dressed in drab trousers and a ratty jumper with a hoodie drawn over his head. Hands in his pockets, hunched forward.

    Once he is safely within the Circle he straightens and tugs down the hoodie. He doesn't speak as he draws closer to the group, preferring to simply nod and wait for acknowledgment.

    Dark eyes scour the area while he wonders: where is everyone else?

    She takes a sip of her coffee and raises her free hand in greeting to Bolide,

    “Hey Bolide.” She greets with a smile. “Marks? Oh, those.” She shakes her head, “Nope, kinda forgot about them actually.” Which was true.

    A smirk was offered to Tuesday, “That it is.” She agrees with a chuckle. “And yah, things are starting to look brighter, it’s nice.” Though that didn’t mean her guard was down, cause going back in time and all that. But it never hurt to try and see the good things happening among the bad.

    Nodding, “Yah, character. I could try and look at them, but not sure what we would hope to gain. Unless you guys want some good stories to share or something.” Didn’t matter to her.

    And then Campanella came in, looking a little rough.

    Concern appears on her face, “Hey Campanella, you ok?” the concern was also in her voice.

    "Woot, woot brighter yo!" she snorts. "But I thought that everybody else would show up for the Announcement. Since. Yeah. Big Deal. Or I thought it was." she pulls on the hem of her tank top.

    "Campy! dude, you're back to Campy "Hi!" Hazels give the Moros a once over, "You look like hell." Which was a blunt and not polite way to ask what Faye just did.

    "Stories...hmmm. Could these walls talk?" thoughtful unicorn is thoughtful, turning to the Moros, "So, in those stacks and histories, do you know where the scuffs and dings came from?" a blink, "I mean that are on the walls and other places of the Circle and not, you know." hazels go up and down. "On you."

    Definitely." The word was as much to Tuesday's question about character as Faye's comment about gleaning stories. Fight Club showed that much more then just mundane conversation had happened within the walls of the Awakened headquarters. With scorch marks and bullet holes, who wouldn't wonder what had happened in this place?

    "Hey Campanella." Bolide tried to smile, but his cabalmate's unusually muted appearance left the Obrimos more then a little concerned. Plus Fight Club, but he had left before they had called who caused the paradox. Having the only two candidates in your cabal though left Bolide as concerned for himself as he was for the Moros, but that was a matter for another time.

    As Tuesday began to ask Campanella about the Circle Bolide nodded along with what she was saying. "I was pretty curious about the place and figured I'd ask. Not everyday you come across something with that kind of history, y'know?"
