    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.

    Sancturary 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 Cirlce.

    He arrives early, unsurprisingly, he's alone.
    He smiles, each one of his strides carries the echo throughout the vaulted ceiling of the building, like the beat of a drum setting the tune of a military march.
    He stops by the altar, draws a cross upon his forehead and then drops on his knees for a short prayer. When he gets up, dusting off his dark suit, his expression is serious. Then he takes place at one of the front benches.
    Tap tap, callous fingers tap against the polished mahogany of the bench, drawing a cocoon around their owner. He wants to enjoy the silence, if only for a couple minutes more

    Kaze arrives in jeans and a solid black shirt.

    "Hi." He says to Winter when he enters.

    He takes a seat towards the back, the better to stay out of trouble and take in the show.

    "Kaze", he replies, seemingly surprised by how easily the other man has seen through his occultation.

    Really any hope of silence ends when the energetic Shaman walks into the scene. It was a hard thing to fight and all the magic in the world just gave him more energy instead of less. He was wild and full of life, that much was for sure. Today he walked in wearing a pair of khaki shorts, black aviators, a white tank, and his Birkenstocks again. Though he came in carrying a long Tupperware in both hands, supporting the bottom.

    He whistled softly to himself as he strode up and sat down two pies near the altar and a small stack of paper plates and disposable silverware. “I made pie. One is Pecan the other is key lime.” He gestured to the pie for people to eat as he pulled out his pen and took a drag off of it.

    Walls and the Floor become slightly tilted, there's a sickly sweet and sharp smell in the air. Faintly, the sound chains (and even fainter: the sound of leather) can be heard. More powerful spells make the sounds more pronounced and colors seem to pulsate.

    Lazy footsteps echoed through the Circle of Creation as someone else entered.

    The shoes producing the sound were brown leather - Marsell - and in very good condition. Not brand new, but spotless and just well-worn enough to be comfortable.
    Above the shoes, a generic looking pair of Levi's (stopping just above the ankles) clothe slim legs and above that a simple (yet expensive) v-neck shirt and a brown Hugo Boss leather jacket protected against the Autumn chills.

    The man entering the Circle carried an air of indifference with him, an aura of confidence and the promise of a good time (if you knew how to ask). His short blond curls, much like his clothes, suggest the kind of messiness that took probably an hour to get just right.


    Grey-blue eyes scanned the hall, forgoing Mage Sight or any ways to hide his nature or discern others'.
    There was someone near the altar, but he didn't appear to be worth a second look.

    Then there were two others: a muscular, good looking calm guy in the back and a bundle of joy straight out of the pages of 'Bros Illustrated'.
    Crystal deliberated for a moment - took in the sights, really - and made his way towards the former. Flashing a smile he stood next to the man in the black shirt.


    "Hi. I've been told this is the place to go if you want to meet other ridiculously talented persons of interest. Would you be so nice and tell me if I've heard correctly?"

    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.

    Her style had been evolving. Where she once favored jeans, she now found herself drawn to dress pants. Seemed the Shaman was changing once again, trying to figure out who she was. The last time had been when her Path changed. Now? All she could figure was it had to do with that battle. Was it normal? She wasn't sure, but she wasn't sure who to turn to about it either.

    But the suit was actually comfortable, But she still added her own personal touch to it. Who needed a shirt underneath? Not her.

    Long legs carry her into the Circle, curious if this gathering would be as uneventful as the last. Would others have things to share? Or would they all sit around again not saying much? Time to find out. A sip was taking from the cup in her hand, coffee. And maybe something else.

    A smile and wave was offered to Winter, then a wave to Kaze and then to Guru. Who seemed to have brought pie? Maybe they needed to get him a chef’s hat or something.

    Eyes were drawn to the new face, his looks captivating. “Hi.” Another wave as she finds herself a seat near Winter, but not crowding him.

    The doctor isn't early, he's not late either, he's just lucky. A stop by the Circle to see if there was any rumors or buzz and he finds a number of the Awakened of Sac-town milling about.

    And what's that in the air? PIE!

    Striding towards the alter like an addict racing for his fix he sidles up to Guru, grabbing a plate and cutting off a slice of Key Lime.

    "And how does the fall find our native Guru today?"

    Kaze smiles slightly in response to Winter. "Just whoever happens to be here. I guess Phoenyx is the only one living here." He doesn't say 'Sir', though there's a little pause at the end that implies maybe he would, if he hadn't been told not to.

    Kaze checks out the pie, but doesn't head over for a closer look or anything. "Hey." He says to Guru by way of greeting.

    Then someone new walks in. Which is not something just anyone can do, so when the new guy asks if he's in the right place, Kaze nods.

    "Kaze. Obrimos. Unaligned. Welcome to Sacramento." He says warmly to Crystal, though Kaze's not extending a hand.

    Kaze nods to Aurora and Anima in turn when they come in. "Hey." He says with a smile. "Good to see you."

    Eulogy looked down at the sheet of paper he carried. Yep this is where she told me to go. the Moros thought. He had decided that his introduction to the local Consilium should be undertaken with a formal demeanor. To that end he decided to come in a pristine white jacket and shirt, black slacks and a big black bowtie to accessorize. Formal Attire With a shrug of his shoulders, he entered the mock up Abbey. He wandered into the gathering area somewhat reminiscent of a tourist. His eyebrows raised high on his face and his gaze flitted to and fro as he inspected the area.

    He paused himself a good distance from the collected group of people. He waited a moment standing distant from the crowd and licked his lips. ”Um, hello!” he called out. Then he noticed a few familiar faces among the assembly.

    ”Ah I am in the right place. Good! It's an awful trek to get here when you don't know where you are going and only have a hand written paper for directions.” He said cheerfully "But I guess that's the point." A broad smile splitting his face. ”Damien!” Winter He called out much too loudly. ”So nice to see you again.” He turned his attention to Aurora ”And Madison, lovely to see you. I hope you are both well."

    He glanced around at the rest of the gathered people, a glint of mischief entered his eye. ”Aren’t one of you going to introduce me to your friends?”
