    Kaze has taken to spending a portion of each day in the Circle of Creation, where the Awakened Nation in Sacramento would be most likely to gather, and where any new Awakened would be most likely to make an appearance.

    An almost perfect, though considerably smaller scale replica of Westminster Abbey, plain to see for Awakened, yet unnoticed by the multitudes of Sleepers, the Clock steadily ticks Time as the day passes.

    This day he hopes to see whoever is currently active among the Awakened in the city, as he ponders the latest departure of a mainstay of the community, Alastor's farewell to the Arrows of Sacramento, and therefore to the Consilium.

    I suppose there's enough of us in Obrimos at least to decide who leads the Path and to recognize a new Obrimos if one turned up?

    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 Obrimos - casual as always - slowly makes his way from the Guardian's wing to the central nave, stopping by once he notices the familiar presence of Kaze. "Talon", he greets as he closes the distance between them.

    Kaze nods. "Sentinal." he replies.

    "Did you know Alastor left?" Kaze asks.

    "Phoenyx and I just got the message he left at the house. He said in it that he's gone for...he didn't sound like he know if he was coming back."

    The Sergent of the Adamantine Arrow strides purposefully through the halls of the Circle of Creation, her leather trenchcoat billowing out behind her like the wings of of a bat revealing the knives at her hips.

    She looks between the pair of Obrimos, not expecting Winter to already be here although nothing is shown on her face.

    "Sentinel. It is good to see you," She greets Winter with the ghost of a smile."Kaze." The smile forms fully, before being smothered under her veneer of professionalism. The Arrow takes up her usual observation point over by the side of the room so she can observe both the room and the entrance.

    Not that is should matter, but Phoenyx has 2 knives on her hips and a heavy pistol in an underarm holder.

    "What do you mean Mr. Aviators left?" A voice is heard, and soon after a figure is seen of Shodan, the Libertine slightly late to the impromptu meeting "Who is going to be the boss of the Arrows, then?" Of all the Orders, the Sacramento Talons were the only ones with the numbers to have any kind of 'structure' in place. Would be a shame to see them in disarray.

    "He did. Orders from the Adamantine Arrow back East," Phoenyx says quietly, before she turns slightly to face Shodan, a ghost of a proud look on her face, "And I am. Alastor appointed me Sergent before he left." She pauses. "So that was good news."

    Wait, was that a joke?

    "On the other hand, it seems that the Concillium has become increasingly thin on the ground. Either people have left to avoid the risks from the fedreal groups or the alternative. I haven't seen anything that suggests that so far. Does anyone else know more?"
    She asks tot he group at large, before looking back to Shodan again. "How are things with your Cabal, Shodan?""

    Is that pride showing on Phoenyx's face. Well, she earned the stripes, Shodan can certainly empathize even if 'ranks' aren't his thing.

    "If I'm honest, I spent the last couple of weeks reading, studying magic and stocking up on gear. Of the people that have been recently but aren't here now there's Juris - the lawyer guy, Galatea, my people... and the Hierarch" Who is likely deeply embedded in the investigation they talked about recently, or - magic, maybe? Campanella seemed like a studious type, prone to long periods of isolation.

    "Speaking of my people" Not that it's a very uplifting subject, but since Sergeant Phoenyx brought it up... "I know Langdon is still in town, even if I don't see him as much. Abacus left for the summer - a sabbatical, I guess you coul call it? But he should be back at some point. Kaster... well, I tried to tether him to the ground, but one day he was just... gone" Of the TT's four, Kasterborous was easily the most mysterious and absent-minded. Must be an Acanthus thing "I'm still holding down the fort in the Temple, in case you want to visit. Toying with the idea of fitting my own arcade salon there" The amount of space - empty space - was staggering there.

    "What have you been up to?"

    Kaze nods to Shodan and smiles at his arrival. Then Phoenyx arrives, and Kaze grins despite the serious topic of Alastor's departure and the general thinning out of the mage community in Sacramento; he's just happy to see her.

    Phoenyx is doing a great job of providing all of the pertinent information, so Kaze smiles and nods with what she is saying, enjoying her obvious pride in Alastor's recognition of her ability and character.

    "Oh", he was taken aback by the news of Alastor's sudden departure. With Aurora, Sand and the Arrow gone, and the Hierarch's momentary absence, another gaping wound was inflicted upon the Consilium already thin backline. The glass was half full however, those absences had been announced, nobody had been hurt or captured.
    It also meant that the trail the FBI had been following would suddenly drop cold. The Honorable Counsilium of Sacramento was now down to the size of a Cabal, a skeleton crew.

    The Arrow leader nods. "Much of the same. Study and practice. It seems a lot of us have left the area. It could be for the best with the Federal agents around here."

    She turns to Winter. "I'm not so sure. The Circle needs defending. Our sanctum will lose the warding Alastor set up eventually. There are only so many places we can observe for new arrivals."
