    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 Circle of Creation is the gathering hub for all Pentacle mages in the Sacramento Consilium, 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.



    Today is for official business. The Awakened gather to announce, discuss, and deliberate on the most pressing issues facing the concilium. In this light the Circle is almost imposing, as it's enormity and importance seem to accentuate the gravity of the issues the Awakened face. Today maybe a day for heated debate and final judgment. For proclamations and newfound awareness. Ultimately though, today is what the Awakened choose to make of it.





    Please read this for information on Consilium, Sanctuary, and the differences. Come here to be Recognized!



    As a reminder, Consilium is the official meeting but business should not be handled until after the first seven days. This is to give everyone a chance to enter the thread without missing anything. After seven days the thread is closed to new arrivals and the official business may commence.

    New year, same place, some new faces. Perhaps the newcomers would supply a much needed impulse to their collective lives, set the agenda, so to speak.
    He was skeptic, but again, it was more of a personal disposition borne out of bias than something backed by evidence.
    The Guardian occupies one of the front benches, he's dressed in a long trench. For now, he's just savoring the moment of quietness and the taste of a cigarette.
    He hates Christmas season.

    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.

    Flicking her fingers over her eyes to ready her sight once more.

    Nodding towards Winter as she enters knowing full well that he wasn't one who enjoyed to speak much with her. Quickly going to her by now usual spot and leaning against the wall keeping a watchful eye over both the entrance and the room, she was here to listen, keep updated and hear if her order were in need not for much else.

    Kaze arrives clothed in a long leather jacket and black trousers and shoes, taking a seat near the entrance. He is here, prepared to watch any official business. He doesn't really expect much, or at least he doesn't expect much that has a lasting effect. Still, he is part of this community, and he will be present as witness or even participant if anything really happens.

    As is his custom, Kaze has transformed his aura to appear to be a sleeper, and cloaked his spells.

    Seeing Winter sitting up in front, Kaze settles quietly down in the back, by the door. The Guardian no doubt will make it known if he wants to say anything, or more likely requires any information from Kaze. Otherwise Kaze is quite content to maintain their purely professional relationship.

    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.

    The Shaman goes through phases where she wants to blend in and be forgotten, and times when she wants to stand out. Make a statement. What that statement is though, she doesn’t know. And if she did, would she say?

    But she felt like red today. So she dusted off an old suit, one she hadn’t worn in years. Tailored to fit her exactly with a black fitted tank top underneath. Break up the red a bit.

    Strolling into the Church, she makes note of who was there already. Not really surprised. Nods were offered as she sips from a travel mug and sits in the front. Long legs cross as she lens back, wondering if this gathering will be as, uneventful, as the others.

    Corn shows up for this official consilium. He is dressed in a dark gray, slightly thin sweater over a dark shirt and dark blue trousers. Earlier that day he took advantage of his hallow to bring up the Sibyl Sight. Unlike what one would expect, it was the mage armor that he had real trouble to bring up today. While he was absolutely sure it was not worth it, he got annoyed that the Lie was blocking him and kept trying until he succeeded.

    He's not sure what to expect. The past two meetings have been quite tame affairs, more of a gathering to see new and old faces and eat Guru's cakes. This one seems more official. Corn exchanges a couple of words with the few people gathered so far. Apostates are part of this official consilium too, he noticed. Not just Pentagram.
    He drifts to the back and sits near Kaze . He hasn't exchanged more than a few words with the man in his months in Sacramento.
    "Hi Kaze, how are things?" he whispers waiting for things to start.
    For scene effects, see Minisheet. No monthly rituals at this time.

    Guru on the other hand walked into the church whistling loudly and carrying a gallon sized ziplock bag filled with cookies, keeping it simple this month it seemed. This time Guru dressed simply, he wanted to go workout when this was all said and done after all so he dressed for the occasion. He wore both pieces of a black and white adidas track suit, matching shoes included as he set the cookies down and seemed to bounce back and forth on his feet already ready to run.

    “Hey, how are you, good to see you!”

    The outfit were as varied as the company. He nods to Madison as she takes seat not too far from him.
    "Nice suit", he says, and you'd be hard pressed to tell whether he was being serious or facetious. Of the rest, he's familiar just with his Kaze.
    Some people offered their help during the last meeting, it was time to see whether they'd be willing to put their money where their mouths were.
    "How have you been? Any noticeable present?", he asks her.

    Waving to Kaze as he entered, not wanting to disturb though this was not the best place to be overly normal social either.

    Nodding back towards Aurora probably feeling about the same as her about being here, it was quite interesting to see the style though not one she had expected.

    Whistling as Guru entered.
    "You getting ready to burn of those cookies? I am available to spar or go for a jog if you want company."

    Remaining by her wall, waiting for a chance to get to try the cookies Guru had brought.

    The First Talon walks in, wearing a thick fluffy red jumper, tight scarf and jeans. Black fingerless gloves cover her hands, and her usual knives are in place at her hips. Her long black coat covers everythingShe shivers in the cold, boots clicking on the stone floor as she looks around the room.

    Phoenyx looks more rested than before, but despite her layers huddles her arms around her. "Hello everyone," she greets simply, acknowledging those already arrived in turn before wandering over to Aurora. "I like your outfit," she offers with a rare smile.
