(2307) Sanctuary

[Winter]

Another mage with a penchant for doubling up, apparently. One with a curious interest in physical work. He couldn't say he disliked the dude, and he appreciated the circle's architecture, so it was another point in his favor.
"As you may expect, there are differences of the arcane kind, so much that one should wonder whether this is the original and the one in London is a copy, rather than the other way around", he jokes about.

[Philip Crosen]

He was very curious about the newcomer, but the discussion about the differences between the consiliums was starting to annoy him. He would have to shelve his new questions for Chambers as he was desperately looking for an excuse to leave. The answer to his question about Chambers` gear didn`t help matters either. Obviously I wanted to know anything about you besides your interest in awakened architecture, and I was just trying to be subtle by changing the topic! Like if you need that getup as part of your magical or mundane jobs, and not how a shovel works! I guess he answered the mundane part, though. Note to self: be more direct. He scoffed inwardly before recomposing himself for his excuse to leave. He then remembered he had a meeting with a client scheduled for later that day. "Well, guys. It was nice to talk, and I apologise but I really must be going now. I just noticed I have an appointment with a client within the hour that I`ve not yet prepared for. I can come here again in three days to continue this conversation. Again, I really am sorry for leaving so suddenly. But see you guys later." With that, he bolted out the door and into his car. Not even hearing the response to Witch`s question about if Chambers wanted to get recognised.

[Chambers]

Just us? … the three of them … Unusual… and unexpected but no matter. Pulling back on his attempts at amicable airs for more matter-of-fact approach.

‘Yes. I am. My apologies if talking of using my skills didn’t make that apparent, just strolling up and asking to sign the register felt like it would have been to blunt.’ He finishes with a wry smile. I should mind my tone repetition for clarity’s sake is understandable.

At Winter’s Jest he does chuckle ‘I think … being born in London requires me to contest that possibility.’ He jests back. ‘… But yes, the idea of it is quite intriguing.’ And Arcane elements on this scale, always thrilling.

The thought is interrupted as Philip makes his excuses before rapidly departing.

Hesitantly. Turning to the remaining two before continuing ‘I would wager there is some kind of interview? or vetting process?’

I could be anyone in off the streets I’d be a fool to think you don’t want to know something more than my educational trips. He pulls out a folded slip of paper with a phone number on it. ‘Who should I give this to arrange such?’

[Witch]

Taking the offered slip of paper, "Just swing back by here and we can work through the process."


And with that, the day faded, the Awakened of Sacramento parting to go their own ways until next time.
