    This thread takes place the same day as the Arrows' assault on the Kruegan's, and should restore continuity. Emergency, Prep,and Sacro should all convene here as the characters exit those respective Scenes.


    Found on the West side of the city, the Museum of Anthropology and Antiquity is a place full of knowledge from civilizations long gone. In it, one will find pieces of the puzzle that make up the history of human kind. It is a two story building of modest size. It has a very clean and almost new feel to it, which is in diametric contrast to what lies within.

    At the moment, their is an exhibit going on that allows the public to view recently uncovered artifacts from ancient Mesopotamia. Various ancient tools, pots, and weapons are set in display cases on the ground level and on the second story. The exhibit is being put on by the local Anthropology Association.

    Pentacle Mages of the city know the Museum to shelter the Mysterium. Mystagogues 'in the know' are aware that it was originally built by the Mysterium, and then reclaimed by Tyria after the Obelisks' first cycle. The Museum sometimes plays host to the Silver Ladder, and is a central part of the Consilium.

    Note: As always, any attempt to bring a weapon past the metal detector at the entrance must make a STR+STA roll and be sent to the Mage ST. The only exclusions are Sentinels of the Consilium.

    Pandora parks her car in the Museum's parking, then walks over to the front entrance.

    Whatever ended up happening here, she hoped it wouldn't be a fight resulting in any damage to any of the contents of the museum. Though the Free Council tended to focus more on the development of new knowledge and new ideas than on preserving the past, she knew well that all progress was founded on what had come before, and Pandora hated the idea of irreplacable artifacts, and the information they could provide and the ideas they could inspire, being damaged or destroyed.

    Question to ST: How much time, if any, passes between Emergency and the start of this one?

    Spade parks next to Pandora and hops out, locking up as he exits. He takes his time with his first real look at the place. What strikes him is exact his dream version of the building was and also how corrupted it appeared then. In reality is was very pretty. Resigned to the simple task of housing the past. It was functional to for the purpose the Mysterium was using it for. Spade felt the Hostel HI still had a long and hard road ahead of it. "You ready?" He asks aside to Pandora.

    She would understand that this was more then just mission to hide out. They were here to be of use. THey were a working part of the Pentacle.

    30m? 1h? Is there any mechanical reason to define it?

    The two threads cannot be on the same day, because Emergency is linked to the bridge thread and the attack on the Banishers is happening on some future date.

    Just wondering if the time passed would (or would not) be sufficient for any healing, oblation or other recovery of Mana and so forth.


    "Definitely ready," Pandora replies to Spade.

    Orphan shows up at the Museum as well. He really wasn't thrilled about leaving his weapons in the car, given circumstances, but he knew the way things worked.

    He looks, quite frankly, like shit. His body aches, inside and out. He still hasn't recovered from the scouring he did, and he can tell his reflexes are a bit off. The skin on his hands is cracked and scabbed, and some places covered by clothes look even worse. To say he's not had a good time the last day or so would be one of the understatements of the year.

    Spade checks the pentacle around his neck as he heads for the door. Seeing Orphan he shouts. "Good morning! Any one else following you?"

    Jack pulls his Corolla into a spot, hops out, grabs his backpack from the back seat, then locks his car as he inadvertently and lazily catches up to the Libertines plus Orphan.

    "Ngh..." Jack grunts in non-committal greeting, straining as he raises a hand to wave but giving up halfway.
