    The Circle of Creation is the gathering hub for all Pentacle mages in the Sacramento Concilium, with chapter houses for all five Orders inside.


    Located east of Sacramento and far outside the prying eyes of the inner city, the Circle of Creation awaits the mages of Sacramento. Despite being a replica of the Westminster Abbey, the sleepers who come by never seem to notice it. The wards built into the structure have made sure of this. To all but the Pentacle the Circle is essentially invisible, ensuring the safety of those who enter and engage with one another. Whether it had always been here for the Awakened was hard to say now, but it was the site that the Awakened gather to mingle and discuss official matters.

    It is a time for simply for mingling among the Awakened. The common area is large and open, but over the course of the month it's inevitable that people may bump into each other. The official concerns of the Consilium are put on hold as a more lighthearted experience is shared among this community of the Wise. Ultimately, this is the opportunity to let the proverbial hair down. How much so is up to them.

    This is the opening post for Sanctuary. Please read this for information on Sanctuary, Consilium, and the difference the two. Come here to be recognized!

    Also a reminder, Sanctuary threads are not official Consilium threads. Those under an incarceration sentence may not attend a Sanctuary thread.

    Sanctuary is not a single event, or formal Consilium. It's a compression of time to represent the comings, goings, and intersections of Awakened throughout the month at the Circle.

    Naga was present already, dressed casually for today's informal gathering. She was seated and flipping through a hardcover book on art. The Warlock occasionally checks her phone, but otherwise is focused on her reading.

    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.

    Can't say it's the most productive venue. Most of the time they bicker and chit chat, sometimes however real partnerships or interesting conversations occur in-between.
    Mages are vanity personificated, put a host of them in the same room and you might as well have thrown a molotov cocktail inside a kindergarten class.
    This is both the appeal and the drawback of the Circle.
    But again, he wouldn't have it any different.
    He arrives with casually dressed and with a cigarette already lit in his mouth. He stops by the entrance to kneel and trace a cross over his forehead, before he dives deeper.
    The Warlock, the lawyer, she's reading something. He looks at her from behind, but he doesn't talk, unwilling to interrupt her read.

    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.

    It had been a busy day. Picking up paints and stains, then having a few meetings for commissions. So she walked into the Circe a bit more dressy then she usually does. But, whatever.

    A black jacket over white dress pants and turtle neck, her hair down and air dried. A coffee in hand, because she had been busy.

    She first spots Nana, reading a book, then Winter, not saying anything. Which wasn’t all that out of the ordinary, but was she missing something?

    The Shaman had no issues continuing to enter the Circle and finding herself a seat. Smiles and nods offered to the others, sipping her coffee.

    Campanella arrives, adjusting the handkerchief in his pocket. He is waring a suit (of course) and this one is not one from his lighter, summer, wardrobe. The year is turning, it would seem.

    Perhaps unusually, the Moros arrives by the front door rather than appearing from the cloister and inner courtyard.

    He chooses a different spot to sit as well, breaking a habit he had been forming over previous months.

    He doesn't advertise his presence - inclining his head only when others make eye contact. Like the rest, he is simply content to sit and watch and wait. Winter and Aurora he knows fairly well. Naga is engrossed in her book, but it would foolish to assume that the Warlock is completely oblivious.

    Guru being Guru it was hard for him to be low energy, even when he enteres his steps were fast and rapid. Eyes darting over the room as he took everyone in, offering a bright smile and wave to everyone present.


    He wasn't wearing anything stylish or fancy just a long sleeved navy blue shirt and a pair of deep blue jeans. He slipped into a chair, and relaxed, letting his bag rest in front of him.

    Time to do the thing.

    To enter the home of the mages to get Rec'd. Truth be told? It wasn't a big deal, unless someone made it one. And the big deals that get made? Usually just people talking at a conversational volume in turn. In other words? Total. Anarchy. Still, recognition was the polite thing to do. A good first impression is the key to not getting bounced when the Libertine has to Libertine. And so Puck enters the Circle, in jeans, boots, and a black hoodie. Three golden glyphs clearly identify him as a willworker. His eyes bounce around the cathedral before turning to it's silent occupants. They go wide when they find Aurora, and he offers her an especially wide smile, then a nod of the head to each of the others.

    "I'm Puck." Silence. Broken. Who comes to a Concilium gathering to lounge around and read? "Acanthus Libertine. Looking to get recognized."

    He raises a hand and waves to the assembled mages.

    A flowering of wildflowers accompanied by their scent and the sounds of a calm wind dancing over the sea. The more vulgar the spells, the meaner the magic the stronger the winds, the flowers blooming only to quickly decay and spread the scent of death with them.
    Appearance

    Standing 152.4cm tall, her hair color changing on a regular basis, usually braided but not always.

    Her body seemingly quite petite and small but upon closer inspection so is it unexpectedly sturdy, her left arm well trained with more defining muscles than her right arm.

    Rarely seen without an armguard and archer glove on her left hand.

    Each and every movement always precise, rarely if ever wasting any more effort than needed to achieve her desired result.

    Coming going from her quarters in the arrow wing, not particularly in any special mood rather just her usual calm self dressed in a more fitting autumn attire and now with long silvery hair rather than the pink she used to have.

    Quickly waving her hand over her eyes as she arrives to the meeting location to enable her to see the magic of the world. Not that it had ever made much difference for these meetings but it was always better to be prepared than not.

    Looking over the collection of people here, eyes quickly drawn to the new guy looking him over for a couple of seconds before sitting down in a free seat waiting to see who would show up this time around and what topics would be discussed.

    A pause fills the nave of the elegant Cathedral structure, hanging heavily over the choir where the Consilium sat. Skye arrival filled the pause.

    Campanella shifts slightly in his seat; straightening himself up to get a better view of the newcomer.

    "Campanella. Moros of the Mysterium. Please. Join us."

    He extended an inviting hand and resisted the urge to look over the rest of the gathering.

    "You've come at the right time. This is our monthly meeting..."

    A pause.

    "Where we touch base and discuss anything of importance which may have arisen. I think that, perhaps, we are having a quiet time."

    Briar Rose shows up.

    More to non verbally tell people she's still around and, y'know. Alive.

    She's in what's become her uniform. Fitted, if worn jeans. Good, and equally warn boots. A white, paint splattered top, covered by her leather jacket. Fingers are combing her pink hair out from the helmet hair mess.

    She's kinda late.

    And when she ambles in, no one is yelling.

    It's.

    Concerning.
