    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Mantle

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    A fairly tall woman, roughly 5'11 with long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes are an intense, deep bright blue, reminding one of sapphires. Her lips are full and her skin is flawless. With that perfection comes a body that men fawn and drool over, and women envy.

    Treasured Nix

    Standing off to the side of the Wyrdstone, she looks to Liam, and the unknown, "I would love to hear more about both of you. Like what brought you to Sacramento and anything you feel is important. Or not!" a laugh, light and musical in sound, "I enjoy all information about others! What one thinks is boring, one might find exciting!" still friendly and warm, sapphires moving from one to the other, eager to hear what they had to say. The warm Spring breeze of her Mantle picking up pink petals and making them dance around her. The wildflowers growing out from her around her on the ground.

    Reminder that Sera has Striking Looks 8 active. And a description of Mantles would be great

    Each New Arrival that haven't sworn to the Wyrdstone / gotten their Freehold Status 1, will need to spend 1Glamour to the Wyrdstone, to be brought into the Wyrdstone cycle, after which if you are a part of a Court your Monarch will be Swearing each Equinox/Solstice.

    Courtless Changeling will also need to prove 1Glamour to the Wyrdstone to be included into the protections. Cayce Roshon

    If a new arrival is swearing for the first time, once the Glamour is spent using the Power Icons, that person can increase their Freehold Status to 1!

    Mien: Liam's skin is hardened into a bark-like armor with pine cone-like ridges throughout. His hair is made of pine needles that act a bit like a hedgehog's quills; standing up when agitated or smooth when calm. His eyes are a deep amber and his tears appear to have the consistency of sap until they leave his face.

    Mantle: The scent of pine sap in a close radius, his needle-like hair ripples occasionally as if tugged by a light breeze.

    Liam, still feeling his heart in his throat, lumbers forward to stand with Seraphina. As she turns and addresses the crowd, Liam can't help but flinch at the mention of THEM; resurgent memories like bile briefly clouded his mind. But again, the Verdant Sovereign's confident words and shimmering gaze brought peace to his ogreish heart. THEY were no longer in command of him, and he wasn't alone. This was a victory in and of itself worth celebrating.
    Seraphina's interest surprises Liam, and his Mantle briefly ripples across his skin turning bark-brown roughness into deciduous green.
    "Me? Well, I haven't been in Sacramento for too long. I'd heard word through the grapevine..."
    Liam indulges himself a chuckle at the pun
    "that there were others like...us here."
    Liam's grin softens and he stoops just a bit, as if afraid to let his voice carry into the crowd and spoil the celebrations.
    "I know we've all been through hell, some more than others. But I guess I was excited to find new friends here. Others like me."
    It was then the ogre felt it: the subtle tingle of the Wyrdstone, as Seraphina had called it. It was so completely alien and yet he felt that magnetic pull, something like a yearning deep in his bones. He hesitantly reaches toward the stone, looking down at Seraphina's dazzling guise expecting to see chastisement or anger, but found instead an encouraging smile. That was enough; Liam lays his palm on the stone and feels his Glamour trickling out, oaken flesh rippling as he restrains the urge to transform and barrel through the roof and into the clouds. He pulls his hand back after a second, or was it longer? He looks at his hand, and then looks at Seraphina. His new queen. His new friend. His grin returns...
    "Also I'm a Pisces, I enjoy long walks on the beach, and my favorite color is red".

    Slikana Senka, once again becoming overwhelmed with the jitters, adjusts his tie and gentles himself once again. Falling into old trainings and manners, Slikana approaches Seraphina and the Wyrdstone and bows deeply from the waist. "I am Slikana Senka, your great Ladyship. It is a wonder and pleasure to meet you. I came to to find kindship and allies once again. As like this gentle;"Slikana will gesture respectfully at Liam Gelt,"I heard of Sacramento though word of mouth that I could find such folk here about." He will offer the bouquet of flowers to Seraphina. "I am unfamiliar with court pleasantries and am a bit overwhelmed." Slikana looks down and gently feels his shadowed skin on his long arms. Once he looks up, he will rest his eyes on the Wyrdstone and gently reach out to it, stopping before touching it. "It will be nice to belong somewhere again." He whispers letting his southwestern accent slip out a little. He will place his hand upon the Wyrdstone and feel the connection form. With that connection complete, he withdraws his hand and bows low again, returning to a respectful distance.

    Treasured Nix

    Taking note of the scent of tree sap and the green ripples, she smiles. Spring was growing.

    Smiling, “Seems the grapevine was correct.” Enjoying the pun. “Well, you’ll find friends and allies here in the Freehold. We’re a welcoming sort, always willing to help those when needed.” Just had to let them know what was needed.

    Seeing him touch the stone, and it not rejecting him, she relaxes a bit. Though having Sonnie hovering around was always welcome.

    “I don’t believe we have many beaches here, at least, not in the traditional sense. There are a few places that claim to be beaches, but they simply lack the beauty of an actual beach. But we do have many outdoor walking trails that will be alive with the season.” As for the zodiac thing, she didn’t know much about them. Sure, what they were, but that was it.

    The smile then turns to Slikana, “You will find that here. And it’s a pleasure to meet you as well.” Catching the scent of cut grass, not unlike her own, but not nearly as strong, she realizes it was yet another Spring. Translucent hands reach out and accept the flowers, “Thank you! These are beautiful!” taking a careful smell before focusing on him again. Her smile softening, “You’re doing wonderful!” she encourages, “Once we are done, you can get something to eat and drink and meet the Freehold. You’ll find us to be quite friendly.” Which was a good thing.

    As he touches the stone as well, and there was again, no reaction, well, negative one, she smiles wider.

    “The Wyrdstone is how we secure the Freehold and the Lost who reside within it. A more traditional Oath has given us difficulties in the past. Not staying. So this Wyrdstone allows for the sense of security that no one residing here is a Loyalist or Privateer.” Feeling it best to explain what it was. “So welcome to Sacramento!” looking to Slikana, “You are somewhere you belong.” Her angelic voice a bit softer. Knowing what it was like to want to belong.

    “Our Court includes Claviger Sonnie,”
    a nod to the monkey that was hanging around, “Lady Titania,” and nod to where she was at the bar, “And Lady Yamiyo,” eyes looking around and not seeing the Succubus. Which was concerning, “seems she isn’t here yet.” Was everything ok? She would have to talk with the others, but not worry the Freehold.

    “Are there any questions I can answer for you? Anything I can help you with?”

    Clearing his throat, Slikana will ask about the fire and if there are any other darklings that he might be able to make contact with should it be needed in the future. His eyes will scan the gathering and notice the tubes of blunts laying about. He will pick a few up and opening one, sniff the contents and wrinkle his nose a little.

    Liam takes note of Slikana, glad to not be the only new face in town. Between the Darkling's impeccable decorum and smooth accent he couldn't help but wonder if he was a Fairest like Seraphina, but something was slightly different about him. Darkling maybe?
    But Seraphina's voice tugs him out of his brief introspection, and he is once again aware that this shimmering being standing with him isn't just a sovereign, but a conversation partner.
    "Right! Questions! Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to know if there's any big dangers to look out for in the city."
    A question born of pragmatism: you didn't get as big as he was without attracting some hostile attention.
    "And are there any places were we just hang out, outside of this lovely Tavern here?"

    “The fire is simply a way to represent our desires and bring life to them. We did something similar a few years back with wishing lanterns, which were released into the air.” Just more for show and something to do.

    “There is currently only one other,” a nod to James Turner , “the Winter Sovereign. You’ll find him to be pleasant and engaging company.”

    A nod, “There have been a few. We are currently dealing with one of Them, the Huntsmen. But the Freehold has come together and everyone has been working tirelessly to defeat him. And it’s going well. There is also one called Queen Ann, who has been a bit more of a difficult adversary. She has set herself up an Orchid in the Hedge, and is drugging mortals to drag into the Hedge and work the for her. It will take more careful planning before we are able to finally deal with her. We were successful in taking out one of her main,” a pause, “thugs? I suppose thugs work. But we’ll be planning a more calculated and careful attack on Ann.” Might as well know what was going on.

    “Well, that would depend on what you’re interested in, where you enjoy hanging out. I own a coffee shop downtown that always has free coffee for the Freehold. But there are numerous nightclubs, museums, libraries, pretty much anything you’re interested in, there is something. So what interests you?” always good information to know.

    Slikana will perk up at the mention of coffee shops and nightclubs. "I live above a nightclub. The music helps to reinvigorate me when my spirits are down."

    He will bow once again to Seraphina, thanking her for the information. Slikana will then turn to Liam Gelt, bow and intone, ​"It is wonderful to meet you. I would like to continue our acquaintance and call you brother in arms if I may? Shall we continue this at the fire or reconvene over at the bar?"
