(ATCEB) Follow Up

[Pixel]

Pixel stood in the Circle in the sanctuary. wearing his usual rituals, jeans, and camo jacket he felt ready for the talks as his attention meandered his surroundings. Today they would track Masters and solve mysteries, or at the very least discuss how to do so.

There wasn't much around save the water bottles and protein bars Pixel normally kept with him. His messenger bag was lying on the ground with his usual pad and pencils inside.

And so he waits, eager to meet with those who saw his texts and wanted to come out and help.

[Naga]

Naga strolled in, dressed casually, if casual were defined by a lawyer with bucks. Her blue jeans, black sneakers, red silk blouse and slim black leather jacket were all designer labels. She smiled at her fellow Warlock. "Good day, Councilor Pixel. You requested some aid, I believe?"

Spells: Third Eye and Misperception rituals.
Equipment: magical tool, smartphone, .38 revolver, carry bag with bottled water and energy bars, pens, notebook

[Aurora]

She wasn’t sure what he wanted her help with, but she still shows up.

Walking in, she was wearing black skinny jeans with a white t-shirt, a leather jacket and black suede booties. A large to go coffee was in her hand as the other waved to Pixel and Naga.

“Hey.” Says the Shaman walking up, “So, what’s going on?”

A moment was taken to look at the clock, then a shrug as she looks to the other two.

Aurora has a bottle of water in her bag, along with a cell. Her dedicated magic tool is on her arm

[Phoenyx]

The First Talon emerges from the Arrow wing, heading out to the circle. Dressed in her usual red top, loose pants, overcoat and weapons, she looks at the gathering in the common area.

Dark eyes roam over the mages, up to the clock, and back again. "Hello," she says to them all, before looking to Naga. "I'm sorry, we weren't properly introduced before. I am Phoenyx. Though I think the rest of my introduction was may quite clear at the last Concillium." She offers Naga a small smile.

"So, what are we looking at?" she asks, looking towards Pixel.

Monthly Spells: Supernal Sight, Organic Resilience (in sig)
Equipment: Smartphone, Pistol (Beretta M92, +2 lethal), 2 daggers, Leather Trenchcoat (1/0)

[Pixel]

​"Hey folks."

He waves as people come in, noting the equipment that people chose. Also weapons? Pixel really hoped those weren't necessary, but he supposed they were good to have.

"So Winter and I were looking at the clock a while back. I managed to ID the Supernal signature of it's makers and wanted to know if any of the rest of the concilium were interested in helping me to try and back track it. I know the clock has loomed over people and protected us but Winter made it sound like not a lot of energy was put into understanding it and uncovering it's secrets."

He takes a breathe. Truth be told? He and Winter didn't summon the full depth of Supernal power to investigate it. Maybe the information was gathered and lost in the revolving door of mages, or maybe the holes in historical arcana expertise were more dire then Pixel had thought.

"So today I was wondering what the Concilium could do to try and trace that history back to the makers. Winter mentioned that Aurora was around before the clock so she would be the one to talk to. Everyone else is here because I thought the cities history was something everyone deserved a chance to explore and learn."

A weak chuckle escapes as he smiles and looks to Phoenyx.

"Also I'm super bad at fighting. So yay fightery peeps."

[Naga]

Naga smiled and nodded to the arriving Thyrsus, "Master Aurora, it's good to see you."

Phoenyx received a different greeting, though just as outwardly friendly, "Naga, Mastigos of the Silver Ladder. A pleasure."

Turning her attention to Pixel, she listened quietly until he was finished with his opening statement. It wasn't until then that she offered her own questions. "The clock? The big one on the tower? I wasn't aware it was of any importance. Forgive my newness," the Théarch chuckled. "I'd certainly welcome the chance to learn about this. If I can help with this research, I'd be happy to do so."

A smirk crooked at one corner of her mouth, "Can't say I'm much of a fighter, either. I can handle a gun without shooting myself, however. I can also always just melt peoples brains." An eyebrow raised in curiosity. "Do you anticipate combat?"

[Aurora]

Turning slightly, “Hey Phoenyx.” Then back to Pixel and the Clock.

A deep breath, the Clock was not her favorite thing. It caused a lot of grief. “I’ll let Pixel explain that.” Because she didn’t have nice things to say about it.

A shrug, “Protected? Maybe. But it just sort of showed up one day if I remember right. I believe there have been some who have wanted to look into it more, but nothing’s ever come of it.” She certainly hadn’t tried.

“I was.” She admits with a bit of reluctance. “What did you want to know? Because a lot of what I remember hasn’t really been confirmed. A lot has changed, both here, in the Concilium, and out there.” Among the Sleepers. “I can try though.” Sure, why not.

“Fighters?” a smirk and shake of her head, “I’m not a fighter, but I can keep you alive.” Fighting was not her thing. “Are you expecting that thing to turn on or something?” cause it hadn’t worked in some time.

“You as well, settling in ok?” always best to be nice.

“So what do you know about the Clock Pixel? Has Winter filled you in on what it did?” best to know what knowledge was out there.

[Phoenyx]

Yay. Fightery. Peeps?

Based on his views from Concillium it should have been unsurprising the Libertine councillor would condense millennia of an Order's philosophy and devotion into a grossly simplified three-word colloquialism. Admittedly, it would be useful to know more about the powerful ward protecting them. Phoenyx represses a sigh, watching Pixel wearily, before turning to Naga.

"The last I heard of the Clock doing something, it sent individuals back in time, and others through to a Seer temple including Master Aurora and myself," the Arrow says slowly. "It could do anything." And was a part of an Imperial Spell, but let's see what Pixel and Winter learned first, since Winter serves his own ends. She looks between the group. "It is best to be prepared, in case the Clock does do something."
Aurora is given a small smile, her comments needing no further interjection.

She turns back to Pixel, waiting for the answer to Aurora's question.

Organic Resilience 2E monthly pot2

She was a bit late to the party, she still didn't find her way around here nor around the city, it had been weird finding herself in places like these.
Quickly running up to the group once spotting them, placing herself in it softly and quickly without a word, she was here in case something would go amiss that was her main reason to be here and it wouldn't hurt to get to know people better either.

Having caught the last of the words spoken by the blonde beauty and having been able to be there for the words spoken by the firebird, her eyes focusing on the young Pixel with a warm smile.

[Pixel]

"I only know because I bumped into Winter and he told me." He shrugs. "I do not anticipate combat, but it doesn't mean that I'm not glad to see someone who can handle their own if the arch masters don't want to be found."

He lets the words hang in the air as his attention turns to Aurora. Before even beginning he seemed a bit confused.

"Winter claimed he brought the clock back personally from five hundred years ago. It was crafted by four archmasters but the ritual was lead by a master of Time and Space. The casters were split between four different spaces and times and it's an Imperial spell. The resonance was a shared sense of duty and desire to end something, but the man who lead the ritual seemed to want to one up somebody. Another in the ritual was happy for some reason."

He wasn't really sure what to think of that last part, aside from the obvious they knew each other part.

"The last piece of the puzzle is that the man who lead the ritual is in Sacramento right now. So the part I need help with is finding information to track or Find him. Hence why Aurora specifically is here. Winter mentioned you were here before the clock, so I wanted to know what you knew about it and it's makers in hopes of finding them and learning the full extent of the clocks abilities."

When Skye enters the room Pixel nods, though if she wasn't speaking he wasn't going to distract with pleasantries when business was at hand.
