    I am Jack's Filter.

    You know that think about turning it up to 11? He's turning it the other way. To zero. All the 'sweet nectar', 'plunging', 'tidings' this and 'seed planting' that are gone. It'd almost be worth it to give the flow of sound a little nudge, but he contents himself with just throwing away the pear core.

    Tyche gets raised eyebrows returned in acknowledgment, but there's clear focus on Naga and Pixel. First Anima and Winter. Now this. What's next? Skinny dipping?

    And of course Kaze's presence only emphasizes Shodan's absence. Run, Forrest, run.

    Between the pear toss and his nod to Tyche, surely no one will mind him checking out Naga again. What? She's hot, yo. So hot. Just don't watch the other hand.

    Nimbus

    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.

    Between Councillor Weinstein putting the ass in sexual harrassment, and Pixel's unsolicited magical foreplay. There was enough ground to #metoo half of the Council. He nods to Tyche, glad that she's avoided the brunt of the sad display.
    He briefly glances at the room. Good, that should be all.
    Well, Shodan was missing. But that was another story.
    A spell went off, it must be the Warlock's, he assumes.

    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.

    Looking to Pixel and a little confused by his request, she looks to the others.

    Was this the new way of doing things?

    If this was how this meeting was going to go, she was regretting not bringing a flask.

    Phoenyx’s words bring her out of her thoughts, and she shrugs, her voice low, “I’m here. You?” without a flask.

    With Winter looking to start the meeting, she looks to him. Least she could count on him not to act weird.

    And then Anima, does…..what exactly? Adjust his posture? A hand goes up and rubs her temples.

    So she drinks her water, because if not, she was going to get herself in trouble. And they haven’t been told if they get to speak this time or not.

    It was all seeming relatively calm. Shodan's absence was weird.

    Watching for identifying sigils? That was new.

    "Alright. Things seem pretty calm. Hopefully they'll stay that way." She looks up and waits.

    Kaze looks up from where he sits at Abacus' approach and expression of polite concern. The young apostate smiles, nods and shrugs, silently indicating he appreciates the gesture and is as well as could be expected.

    He seems to be involved in his own thoughts and missing the interplay between Pixel and Naga. He can't help glancing over at the sound of Phoenyx's voice chatting quietly with Aurora though. He only briefly glances towards Phoenyx and then returns to contemplating, only to look up and focus when Winter asks to get things going.

    Kaze quietly and intently pays close attention to Winter and the other Councillors, watching and listening for their proceedings. He tenses just slightly, ready to stand if they tell him to but otherwise using breathing techniques to stay calm and relaxed and to pay attention.

    The sound of dialing numbers (phone, keypad, rotaries, calculators) echo in the ears of those in close proximity. Shimmering gold lettering take the form of flickering mathematical symbols that form complex equations in the air.

    He returned the nod. That wasn't so bad, now was it?

    The Enchanter unbuttoned his suit jacket before taking his seat. Councilor.

    History is written by the victors. He hadn't won this. But he was all to aware that he could lose it. Fear not the monsters, but the ones who call themselves heroes, for valor is more twisted than malice. That was Perihelion. Obrimos. Teacher. Wisdom still brought peace even in new circumstances.

    He could get used to this.

    "Let us commence."

    "Is there anything of note that we should bring to the forefront before we pass our verdict?"

    Clear the air of distractions and disarm the alarm of objection. Let them voice it now, so that they may hold their peace later.

    Tyche watched the spells and exchange between Pixel and the new girl with barely veiled disinterest.

    Last thing we need is filler.

    Noise pollution was really just static when you think about it. Fuzzed the brain and clouded thoughts. Makes the important things difficult to understand. So, as the Councilors seem to reach an agreement to proceed, Tyche remains silent and stays in her place.

    Eyes rove between Kaze and the Council. Kaze's judgement was nigh and, come the night's end, the Consilium could finally proceed on to other things. Shodan, though, was absent. Not surprising. Some folks decide not to face the music when they don't like the tone, but, in their little community, that meant the Obrimos was a Marked Man if he returned. And a stain on the Free Council's rep. She doubted even they would defend him for skipping town before a trial.

    Blue-green eyes found Tyche again, looking for a meeting of eyes before the angel finally stood.

    "Yes."

    Getting to be a habit, isn't it? The interrupting thing. It's totally not by choice. Okay, it's a choice, but one better done without to begin with. Of course it's the Acanthus that provides the perfect moment.

    "Shodan's sentencing was the result of a Duel. A duel to prove and demonstrate Wisdom,"
    he began. Then his eyes were sliding over to Winter. "A Duel Shodan lost."

    Okay, fine. There's definitely a dramatic moment being led up to, but he just can't help himself. At least it's short and sweet, right?

    Okay.

    Ready?

    "A Duel that Winter admitted to magically cheating at,"
    he nodded to the pretty brunette Enchanter, "To Tyche and myself."

    Because not really proving Wisdom.

    Campanella deliberately turned his face away from Naga when she cast her spell. He would not be taking the opportunity to learn her signature and while he could understand where Pixel was coming from, he felt disquiet at the method.

    He turned his head back as Abacus called for order and laid out the semblance of an agenda.

    And Star...

    A flash of recall: a hastily convened conclave over lunch. The Moros found himself coughing.
