    Wards have carefully been altered, and the Circle of Creation glows with new protections. Inside the sanctuary, where an altar would stand, is a large, cloth covered table with chairs. There is ample seating in the apse that others can sit close by, rather than in the pew area. Oddly, almost incongruously, there are side tables set with finger food and drinks. Along the walls of the sanctuary, banners are hung; five on one side depicting the Orders' sigla, five on the other with the Paths.

    Zilker stands at the front of the sanctuary to remind those that may have forgotten that all spells should be dropped, and that will-working is not permitted. At the table, Andrade sits at the head, turned to talk to John Dee, standing beside her. Both are drinking wine.

    Zero is also there, staring raptly at the banners, occasionally touching the fabric of one or another.

    Spade makes his way to the Circle of Creation looking at the place as if he been here before. Freaking nightmares. Spade is dressed up nice for the meeting. He wears a black vest ofer a shirt and tie. His best dark jeans and a pair of good black leather shoes.

    Spade was the herald had taken the time to make sure the Meeting's info was left at the Hostel. Spade would thank Animus personally.

    He enters the Circle, nodding to Zilker. "Zilker right? I'm Spade sir, Libertine of the Free Council." Spade greets with a warm smile and an offered hand.

    Animus arrives in a button-down shirt and slacks, which for him is a major concession to formality. When he arrives at the door, he drops his spells, hesitating just an instant before the honing spell is released. After so long bolstering his own pattern he feels frail, exposed. And yet, I'm still in far better shape than most. He nods once to Zilker and the newcomer, not interrupting them.

    Fortunately for Falx, Consilium being at the Circle meant that he didn't have to bring the MP5 with him. Though after the nightmare he had last night of being eaten by things after they had ripped him apart, he wasn't sure if he should have a weapon. So he doesn't, sadly. Even at the Circle he wished he had a gun on him in case someone was ballsy enough to make a move.

    As he enters the sanctuary he looks at Zilker and releases the spells on himself. Including his shield, now leaving him feeling like a moving target. With that he nods to Zilker and the new mage talking to Zilker then makes his way inside. A women he's never seen before and that bastard are at the main table, he ignores them and makes his way towards the Obrimos banner. Stopping in front of it his mind retreats from the world around him and wanders its own paths.

    Jack arrives at the Circle and parks his Corolla where he can. He adjusts his darkish red button-down in his black slacks as he gets out of his car. A simple, black tie finishes off his ensemble that's formal enough without making him feel uncomfortable.

    He looks around to see where people are entering and goes with the flow, walking right past Zilker with a slight glance. It's not like he normally walks around with spells up, anyway. At least, not until I'm able to pull down the Supernal faster.

    As he scans the place for familiar faces, Jack spots Animus and makes a beeline for him with a smile replacing his discomfort for being in a practically unknown situation.

    "Hey, man," Jack says, making a fist with the intent to fist-bump, though whether Animus can figure that out, he's not sure.

    Animus' mood almost immediately clouds over, much as it had at the museum. "Hey yourself." As if Living Stones falling apart weren't bad enough. Now the few mages I've started working closely with trigger a depression? He looks oddly at Jack's fist, not sure what it's about.

    Jack's fist hangs there for a bit longer, but seeing as Animus has no idea what it's about, he groans a bit.

    "Aw, come on man, it's a fist-bump! You've never seen people do that?" Jack says enthusiastically, though not much louder than he normally is. Given his bass voice, though, even though he lightens it up some, it usually carries a bit further than Jack intends.

    Tug catches Zilker's eye as he enters the Consilium. "Oh, heh, right, sorry," he says quickly, then drops the Armor and Sight spells he uses so often, he forgot they were still there. "Heya, Animus," the ex-fullback greets his fellow Shaman with a wave as he walks-by, since he seems absorbed in conversation. Tug doesn't recognize either of the two men with whom Animus and Zilker speak; they look harmless enough.

    His older brother's already here, and Tug walks straight over to him. As he approaches, he sees that he's got that worrying, distant look on his face. "Whatcha' thinkin' bout, Falx?" he asks cheerfully, motioning for the older Briggs Boy to scoot over.

    Spade watches Animus, then Falx and Jack enter. Names. Spade felt he knew more then their names. Weeks of wiping down with the other men in small hell hole somewhere east of Sacramento.
    It's not a comfortable thought for a hetero Obrimos. The Image of consoling child like Falx. Of watching Animus struggle with the death of a stone. Of Jack's face among many others babbling about double meanings.
    To recognize them at a glance. And Spade had never met any of these men before. Ever.

    Then Tug enters. Blood. Spade still recalls the way Tug's skin seemed to crawl, the disturbingly twisted form he took to fly, the maddening sneer as Spade was ripped apart...

    Spade feels his pants grow a little wet. Tug killed four other Mages in his dreams. He ripped them apart.
    And here he was, the Star athlete. The star Arrow. Walking past Spade without a hint of recognition.
    Suddnely angry and confused and scared, Spade rushes out of the Circle. Making a bee line for his car. His thoughts filled with the maddening beating of distant drums.

    Were these dreams a warning? Is this something Tug would do? Could do? How could Spade judge a Man he never met based on the psychotic images he saw while he slept?
    And did Spade have an extra pair of pants stashed in the trunk?

    Animus winces slightly at Jack's enthusiasm. "If you say so." He gives Jack's fist a half-hearted jab, feeling rather awkward.

    When Tug greets him, Animus is thankful for the interruption. He breaks away to follow the other Thyrsus. "Tug! It's been too long. How have you been?"
