    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.




    Next Concilium, next try: as mentioned in the OOC discussion by a few people, let's keep the speaker-sidescene to keep things moving (and remember to exit said side-scene if you're done) and not have actual trials during this meeting. If someone wants to put someone on trial this would be the place to announce it and there will be a separate scene afterwards.

    Corn walked in the Circle dressed officially; a light black coat, white shirt, black trousers and shiny shoes. He has opted to not wear a tie.

    Phoenyx held a hand on the door from the Arrow tower, not quite opening the door, in a loose top and loose tree-quarter pants. Dressing for the heat of summer, though her gun and knife were set at her hips.

    As the first Concillium since she was tried and convicted, she felt it was important to be there now that her punishment was over - not that anyone had bothered to check. That she could be trusted to enact her punishment? It made no sense. Still, since the Arrow remained as Councillor to the Obrimos it meant another reason she could not avoid what she expected to be another slanging match between Puck and.... whoever his chosen target was today. Probably Corn. It would be so easy, so, so easy, to silence them both with magic. Just turn off their voices. But that was a slippery slope. Do it for her own convenience and it opened the door to justify all manner of magic and risk the Abyss in everyday life.

    She sighed and noticed her nerves, turning the sigh into a stretch of concentrated breathing. Perhaps she should have done more yoga this morning. Still, the breathing helped and she stepped through the door and headed for the regular Concillium meeting chamber.

    The First Talon had hoped to be there before anyone else was, that she might acclimatise to the room a little, but even being early there was someone there still. "Good afternoon Councillor," she offered to Corn as she moved to the front of the chamber and stood at ease there.

    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.

    There was a reason Crystal wasn't bending over backwards to mingle with the other Mages at the Circle the last few weeks. However, there was a shadow of sense of responsibility left in the Warlock so he couldn't justify missing out on the official meeting. Once again he mentally tipped his head to Aurora and her apt observation that politics sucked as he wandered in wearing a fashionably oversized suit by Hermes. What? The Summer in Sacramento was hot, if people thought he was dressing down he'd argue that it was an act of self-preservation.

    He seemed to be a bit early: only Phoenyx and Corn were present, which probably meant that there was a deluge of information about to hit him from one end and patient silence from the other. Fun. "Hey Councilors. How are you, ready for some fun?" The smile on his face looked forced and obviously exaggerated, but after a few beats of that he defaulted back to his neutral expression. This meeting too would pass some way or another.

    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.

    Did she want to go to the meeting? Not really. There was never a productive discussion, it was all mud slinging and outtalking everyone else.

    It was tiresome, it was getting old, and she didn’t have the patience anymore.

    But…she had responsibilities.

    The Shaman went with a white suit, which was both dressy and comfortable.

    Walking in, she takes a moment to steel her nerves and remind herself that killing people was bad.

    A nod to those already gathered as she moved into the room. “Afternoon.” There wasn’t much to say, and she was hating how tense she was becoming just from being there.

    "Yes. All seems well." The Arrow replies to Corn simply. "And you?" It was polite to ask, though a part of her hoped he would keep succinct.

    She gave both Crystal and Aurora a small smile. "I am not sure how 'fun' it will be, but I do have some points of business for when we officially start. Nothing I beleive to be contentious." Of course, what Phoenyx considered to be a breach had been contentious so that was a broad definition.

    "Hello Aurora," the smile grew a little wider at having her friend around. Phoenyx knew Aurora hated Concillium Meetings - or specifically, certain individuals - but it was always showing to the Arrow that the Thyrsus still did her duty.

    "So far so good. I have made a promise to myself to really try and not allow others to get under my skin today. That means, if I am slandered I will reply and defend myself, but I won't go beyond a couple of sentences.
    I also have a couple points of business as well. Which I kinda think they will be contentious.
    " He didn't specify that he thought Phoenyx could well be the one to contest them.

    An eyebrow quirked when Phoenyx mentioned she had business to bring up.

    Oh boy! This will be fun.

    A small smile was offered to her friend, “Hi Phoenyx, good to see you back.” How did the Arrow manage to keep a level head in these meetings? Aurora had always thought she was level headed, but lately? Lately she hadn’t been. The pettiness and childish behavior were getting to her.

    A glance to Corn, “Or you could just not give them what they want, which is an argument. It’s a cycle that will keep repeating until they don’t get the reaction they want.” At least in her mind.

    Of course he would have business too. And contentious at that. Well, that was technically what this meeting was for, business. Though it would remain to be seen if it would be discussed in an adult like manner…or not. Her money was on not, but she’d been surprised before.

    “Maybe we need an open bar at these things.”
    Not really said to anyone in particular.

    Apollo wondered if he would regret his decision to attend consilium again after the atmosphere that lingered the past few months. However, it was an official consilium and therefore mandatory. Plus he could miss some of the important drama information. With all the drama he had not yet managed to meet everyone and that was something he needed to change. Corn had suggested they hang out but nothing had ever come of it. In Apollo's mind the ball was in Corns court on that one.

    Apollo entered observing those that were assembled. "Hello everyone. Everyone doing good?"
