    The year turns. Winter has drawn to a close. Spring has come, unlocking the day from the night. Perceptible change is in the air as the balance between light and dark shifts. Even Sleepers, their minds dulled by Quiessence, can feel it.

    Campanella arrives early in the afternoon to prepare the way for the Consilium meeting. He cleans as diligently as any monk and lays out fresh candles - though on this occasion he only lights a few candelabra around the meeting space. He burns incense in censors, casting an oily but pleasant smelling cloud through the nave and ancillary chapels of the old cathedral. He even takes a good half hour to cleanse the Cathedral with sage just for good measure.

    The lights are relatively few, their glow absorbed in the light of the afternoon and early evening that streams through the great windows. By the time the meeting is done, they will be the only light.

    Campanella has arranged seats in the nave where the Consilium normally meets. He has provided a seperate seat for himself, facing the group and this he has wrapped it in a rich cloth: this is the Hierarch's Chair and so far is the only indication of a structure to the society that is soon to gather and discuss the doings of their world.

    Campanella stands, waiting. This Hierarch evokes the victorian scholar in his tweed and black.

    Another Consilium meeting is open. This is a good place to catch up with other characters. And a fantastic place to introduce new ones.

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    The Guardian arrives at the Circle. Or rather, enters the side nave from the labyrinth of corridors that connect it to the Guardian's quarters, greeted by the pleasant smell of incense. He observers the Hierarch for a second, the man had made himself busy. Ritual cleaning, the Guardian assumes, otherwise he would have asked for help, and he would have happily obliged.
    No matter how many times he had witnessed it, the Cathedral was still a piece of Supernal in the material world, it commanded respect and awe. He mouths off something, a small prayer, maybe. Adjusts his dark suit and then announces his presence.
    "Hierarch, good afternoon", he says, nodding in respect.

    Galatea

    Galatea arrives early this time around- if only because being transformed prior to everyone's arrival might be received better than shifting in the middle of an ongoing party. She wore simple, well-fitted clothes once more- of course she was planning to shift again. She glanced around to see if anyone else had arrived, noting the distinct lack of guests. And that this place was still as charming as ever.

    "Hierarch. I'm going to shift again- Er... Wait. Do you mind if I shift here?"

    It was polite to ask. Galatea was itching to get out of her human skin.

    There was something about the Hierarch's routine that helped put Phoenyx at ease at the incense rolled out softly into the corridor. She sweeps in, her long coat rippling slightly and concealing the knives and pistol held on her person. She looked around the room, and breathed in slowly before heading over to Campenella. "Hierarch," She says, inclining her head respectfully.

    "Winter," the Arrow says with a nod of greeting, and the same for Galatia before she turns and takes up a sentry position by the wall, watching the entrance as arrivals appear.

    Kaster arrives at the sound of the cloister bells. His mystical internal clock synchronizing with them the more he visits the place housing a temporal clock. In his mind, he couldn't help but wonder did they chime when he wasn't present or did they ring just for him? Was the clock announcing his arrival? Wasn't there a movie about a house with a clock in the walls?

    "Hierarch." He greeted as he made his way into the gathering.

    Alastor

    Alastor darkened the doorway next, a black t-shirt tightly fitted to muscle and sinew even as dark blue denim jeans completed the outfit. Over his shoulder, a backpack was slung, and once he was within the chambers of the Circle of Creation, the First Talon drew forth his coiled chain-and-knife combination that rapidly found its way onto his belt. If he had magic on him, it wasn't immediately apparent, but those with Sights and occult capabilities would be able to find their way through the Spell Cloaks that kept his magics hidden from plain sight.

    Glancing about through his mirrored lenses, the soldier gave a gruff nod at the work the Heirarch had done to get the place shipshape. The candlebras were a particularly nice touch, giving the place a reverent vibe that he found quite pleasing.

    "Hello, everyone."

    The Mastigos flashed the group a relaxed smile and found himself a chair. There was probably business to discuss.

    If you have a sight up, you can choose to throw a reflexive Wits + Occult - 1 to see Alastor's cloaked effects.

    Exiting the Mysterium's section of the Circle Langdon pauses as he rolls back down his sleeves. Negligence on his own part had left some parts of it dusty. Parts that may be needed if Sacramento gets more lively. Moving to the gathering mage Langdon notes each mage in turn, with a lingering look at the lead Arrow, Langdon finally looks to Campanella and bows deeply to the Heirarch.

    Campanella turns to Galatea . "You are part of the Awakened Nation. You may take whatever form you deem appropriate. However, I caution that I will not accept violence, or the threat of violence, in these sacred halls."

    A coy smile grew on his face as the Consilium gathered.

    "You are all welcome here. Please, be seated. I have something that needs to be addressed: the question of Sentinel. But before that, does anyone else have something they wish to discuss first?"

    Phoenyx's greeting is acknowledged with a curt nod. The Guardian stares severely at the unknown face, a shifter apparently. There was a lot to discuss, but first, better get the pulse of the situation.

    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.

    Aurora entered, dressed in all black. Black leather pants, oversized black sweater, hair in a ponytail, and a blank expression on her face.

    She didn’t want to here right now.

    A nod a half smile was offered to those she knew, a bow of her head offered to Campy. The Master finds a chair and sits.
