[Circe]

"The bunny room was taken but, uh, very serious geeks of the uh, darker topics tonight," she explains. It was best not to have them know too much about criminal activities. Ignorance means not a loose end witness.


"Yes, we can get to go and do that," she points at Seraphina before turning to Vincent, "I've heard other clubs have other systems then our method of assigning officers. Different directions, elements, etcetera. Is that what yer talking about? Different system?"


Yes Circe still thought he meant Sun and Moon courts. Ignorance is flourishing.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent understood they had to talk in code, and so he continued "No not necessarily as much as other clubs. This club would be an in-between of our current clubs. I'm not quite sure how to word this, lets just say that this club is attempting to become like the other clubs here. Their goal is to help enforce the transition between club leadership. The club called out to me, as you know I have not joined any others, and though not as powerful as the other clubs, I find the club to be what I was searching for, and just want to let you know before you hear word from others that the club does not mean any harm to us, and in fact we want to help strengthen the other clubs further while strengthening our own."

Vincent knew it was a little long winded but he felt that he was able to get what he needed to say off his chest. "Please ask me any questions you may have about this new club, or why I joined."

[Seraphina]

An eyebrow arches at Circe, “Bunny room? Are we talking like the animal bunny or the more adult themed Playboy one?” shrugging, “Both could be fun.” Glass raised.

Circe asking the good questions.

“Enforce the transition between leadership?” like between Seasons? “Not quite sure how that works as we have a fail safe in position should another club lose membership.” Was that what he meant? “I, personally, wasn’t concerned with anything hurting us, we have a strong foundation here that has weathered difficult times but continues to thrive.” Another shrug, “But so long as you are happy, then whatever.” It reminded her of a Courtless joining one of the Four Main Courts, it happened.

[Circe]

"Uh, no. Extra secure room fer, uh, private business meetings kinda place. It can be locked and otherwise hard ta spy on." Is her explanation of what the Bunny Room was. "Somebody else rented it first. Nice suits, not my business tonight," she tries to adopt a tone of finality on the issue. She recognized some customers, but not the kind she could make switch rooms.


And Vincent was, how would the term go? Moderator Court? Her mind went in a different direction than Seraphina. It sounded to Circe like Vincent had sworn to an order that took someone NOT giving up the crown to the next season as a matter to be serious about. Deadly serious. "A moderator then. Ta enforce the administrative rotation between the clubs in our division when somebody decides the big chair is fer their ass and nobody else gets it. Is that right?" She pauses for a reply before continuing to think aloud, "That hasn't come up. The club officers," she grabs a roll to point to Seraphina and then herself, "Have been friends fer quite a while since I had ta take a hat. Never had anybody try ta take over, we all have gotten along without some stupid shit causing problems."


Circe bites into the roll and hums in thought. "Welmmmph," she has to finish chewing and wash it down, "Stupid did come up. There was that one time way back, think it was before you had yer club's boss hat Sera," she points at the Spring with the have eaten roll, "Where I was the voice of peace and reason at an officers meeting. Called the other officers out on making me do that. I mean me," she points to herself with, well a hand and a roll, "The anger management club boss being the voice of reason and peace? I think that's chaos theory."

[Vincent Black]

Of course Circe hit what he was trying to convey. "Exactly, just like a moderator. Our club believes that the transition time is not only important, but also, they transitions should be protected. In no way do they want to step on the other clubs' toes, they just want to make sure that the peace is kept especially during the transitions between the clubs."

Vincent was surprised to hear that there was strife early on, especially since the courts seemed to respect each other. "I would like to hear more of this, maybe at a later date."

[Saber Sloth]

Due to some miscommunication all Mien changes for Vincent haven't happened yet, and he hasn't yet joined his Entitlement, that will happen after current scenes end/new scenes open. No retconning of words happening since the Scene's been going on for a bit now, Vincent is enthusiastic about joining his Entitlement and to see what the Court of the Solstice can do for the Freehold

[Seraphina]

“Huh.” Thinking for a moment, “I liked my ideas better.” Laughing.

Nodding with what Circe says, “Not been a problem that I’ve seen. Even when Max had to step in when one Club was without a leader. Doesn’t happen all that often, but only thing I’ve seen.” And now it rested on her to fulfill that role. “Not to say that in the future someone might try and get stupid, because nothing is impossible.” She just didn’t see it happening with their current setup.

Looking to Circe, “Really? I’ve never been told about this, maybe you could fill me in on the details later?” if she didn’t want to, whatever. It sounded like it was some time ago anyways. Then a name came to mind, “Wait, was this Cole?” was this name Cole? It sounded right? But he was the only one she remembered causing trouble. “Was this also before we had the other positions in play to help smooth over any disagreements and trouble?” another sip, “I think you can be quite reasonable Mary, at least from everything I’ve seen, you have a good solid head on your shoulders.” And to her, that was the truth.

She still wasn’t completely sure or sold on whatever this was. Maybe it would be something she would have to look into, tap into the knowledge she had gathered when Rhodes had been around. After all, he had helped her build her library with various books on occult and whatnot.

“While I think the idea is a good one,” the whole mediator thing, “I hope you realize there could be some push back from other Clubs. Not every Club wants,” what was a good word for this, “an outsider, someone not of the Four, to mediate.” putting her glass down, "I'm just trying to see it from all sides and predict where things could go wrong. I blame Max for shifting my line of thought." a small chuckle.

[Circe]

Circe nods in agreement with Seraphina, "Never been a transition problem here."


As for whom it was years ago, Circe has to think on it. "Uh, it like right after I rock-paper-scissored my way inta being a club officer," she clarifies, "Was like a tangent they went off on each other on. Hilarious, but a waste of time. Like people debating something after everyone decided ta agree on it wasteful," Circe clarifies. And Cole? "The Ice Queen I'm sure was there. Not sure if there was a Cole. I was kinda new at the time, ya know? This was years ago."


"Well of course, of course," she smiles sweetly as she drinks her booze, "I CAN be reasonable. Doesn't me I LIKE being reasonable," she widens her eyes with a more manic smile now, "Being unreasonable is so much fun oh ho ho ho! Was a high point tonight."


Seraphina had a point about objections to the mediator schtick. She nibbles and drinks as she thinks. A retort for Vincent to use comes to her, though it needs context. "Well, when ya need and don't have, ya sing a different tune," she waves her hand dismissively. "I blame Max too," she agrees, "Yer best argument Vincent, ta fed off those that don't like moderators will be the same I use fer constantly having a gun." She nods sagely, "Better that ya have and not need than the opposite."

[Vincent Black]

Vincent nods at Circe, "Thanks I will do that. And I really do not want to step on any toes. I just want us to continue on as normal, just know that I will be here just in case anything does happen." Vincent pauses for a second, "And with that out of the way how a few drinks and some food to celebrate."

[Seraphina]

A nod of agreement with Circe, “Only issues we’re run into has been when there has been no club leader. But I think we have that on lock down now and it hasn’t been a problem since.” Not that it couldn’t turn into a problem, it very well still could. They were never completely safe, they had to remain vigilant at all times.

The Nix had to laugh, “Why can I totally see you doing that?” still laughing, “I love it!” and it seemed to have worked out for the best. They had Circe for Summer Queen and that was a damn fine choice in her opinion. “Glad you won.” A wink added. “Ah, I must have been thinking of a different problem with Cole, I know he had some problems and was,” uh, best wording, “sent out of town to do some thinking.” That worked.

Smiling, “It certainly is.” Did she know from experience? Not really. She had always been the friendly, warm and calm face.

Shrugging, “I see it as being one of those bridges we have to cross if it comes up.” No use speculating on it. Laughing once again, “Well, I did learn some good things from him, and he did open my way of thinking.” So not all bad, but her heart still ached, and she figured it always would.

Raising her glass to Vincent, “Well thank you for trusting us enough to share. And I’m sure we will both be here to support you on the path.”
