    Churches. Rehab places were drawn to them. Whether it was the 12 step programs and their requirements of a higher power or the general over abundance of religious rehab centers, churches were entrenched in the rehabilitation process. And A Better Way was no different.

    The church itself was short, only one floor, with a large gathering space in the back. From the street signs could be seen that said "A Better Way". Slowly a gathering of around ten people began to make their way in through the rear double doors. The meeting time was getting close.

    Inside the room was simple. Laminated floor. Table with coffee and stale donuts. A couple rows of chairs with a small podium at the front. Everything looked exactly as one would imagine from an anonymous group. For some this was their last chance at redemption, either voluntarily or court ordered, and the atmosphere fit that feeling to a T.

    Sitting down in the back row Langdon gently puts his messenger bag down against the leg of his chair. No note taking or recording here. Instead the Moros looks around the gathering space. The scent of coffee is tempting but the water around town is a bit dodgy at the moment so he doesn't partake. Quiet nods are given to those who acknowledge him and he leaves those that don't alone. Everyone has their own demons.

    Langdon's visit him at night when he dreams of fire and silent screaming heads.

    Equipment: Messenger bag with a pen, notebook, and ritual tool. Phone, wallet, and keys in pockets.

    Shodan arrives at the church soon after Langdon. Placing himself right next to the Moros mystagogue, he says:

    "How do you want to proceed?" Kaze isn't here yet, but it doesn't mean they can't have some preliminary discussion.

    Mindful of the fact that the MIBs are likely watching, the Libertine attempted some watching of his own outside the building.

    Kaze arrives wearing a nice, brown leather padded jacket over a solid grey shirt and black trousers and athletic shoes. He has a leather satchel over his shoulder with a medical kit inside.

    He smiles as he approaches the others, looking around alertly for anything or anyone seeming odd or out of place.

    The Libertine hears no MIB radio signals.

    What Kaze and Shodan notice is that the members seem to be gathered in two separate groups. A divided support group, but not a hostile one from what they can tell right now.

    The Moros starts as Shodan sits down next to him and speaks. "Sorry, got lost for a moment." Maybe it would be good to find an awakened psyc..maybe. Langdon gives a small wave to Kaze as he pulls himself back together.

    "I was thinking to just watch and listen for now. I'd like to see how this is all related, if it is." Maybe learn a few things or two about how people cope with problems.

    "No sign of suits so far" he says when Kaze joins them.

    "Observe. Good idea. Plenty of time to disrupt later"
    Shodan nods to the Moros. Then the Libertine slowly realizes there's not one, but two groups here.

    Maybe the words and whispers will provide a clue as to why? A quick bout of spellwork later, Shodan directs the conversation from one group such that he can hear it without straining his ears or getting too close.

    Kaze nods. "Someone will probably come over to ask us what we want. I'd say we heard about it, and wanted to check it out. 'For a friend'." he smiles.

    As time ticked on the meeting began to start. A man with long gray hair and a short beard stepped up to the podium tapped the side a few times to get everyone's attention. "Hey everybody. Some of you are new," he said, his eyes drifting to the mages, "some not so new. All of us takin' it a day at a time. We're gonna start with some small groups before we all come back together for a big ole group meeting." He nodded his head and people started to stand from their seats.

    After a few minutes the groups started to separate into small huddles of three to four people, with the man making his way over to the new arrivals. As he approached he looked them each over before offering them a smile. "Welcome friends. I'm Charles Burns and this is A Better Way. Are ya'll here voluntarily or cause of a judge? And ain't nothin' to be embarrassed of either way. You're among like minded people, I can assure you of that."

    Despite himself Langdon gives a small wave to the older man as he acknowledges the mages. Seems right. Though the Moros holds his peace for a moment or two after the man approaches them.

    "Voluntary." A glance at the others. "Well I am at least. Thank you for being so welcoming. This is a new uh.. thing. No offense. For me. Don't normally look to talk about this sort of thing."
