    Having taken the time to fill people in and get an feel for the area the time of the secret meeting of mages draws close.

    Each mage can make either a wits+investigation roll, or a wits+surivial roll to learn some more about the location or to find something useful in the environment respectively

    Standing 152.4cm tall, her hair color changing on a regular basis, usually braided but not always.

    Her body seemingly quite petite and small but upon closer inspection so is it unexpectedly sturdy, her left arm well trained with more defining muscles than her right arm.

    Rarely seen without an armguard and archer glove on her left hand.

    Each and every movement always precise, rarely if ever wasting any more effort than needed to achieve her desired result.

    ”I hope you will stay, but if you do not feel ready for this so do I not fault you.”
    Having informed her compatriots of what lies ahead, of what is about to happen, not sure which of them would stay and who would turn away. But hoping that they would have listened to her words of entering with some time in between them and that she would not fault them for walking off as she begins to walk around the area to check it up a bit. Hoping to find somewhere to put her phones away or at least her smartphone the other one not having much that could be taken anyways. Also wanting to map out an escape route to some degree at least.

    Sadly though not being the most at home in this suburbian landscape, being much more inclined to the woods. At least her casual outfit would hopefully not draw to much attention.

    Guru had come after his own had wrapped. Having got the rundown Guru couldn't help but feel his stomach churn. This was definitely a job for Winter , he was a sharp knife to Guru's blunt hammer. He certainly didn't feel like he was the right one for the gig but he was the one present and he wasn't going to leave them in a lurch. There was no way they weren't going to stand out here, and if there were Seers here? You don't need to unravel the whole sweater, just find the thread and pull. It might not be seers, they were looking at the leylines right? What if it's just an independent cabal. Then we have different problems but it might not devolve directly to conflict. He didn't know what kind of luck brought Cavendish here but it was only bad luck that found him here now. "I don't tend to abandon folks when asked for help. Let's just see what's what and we can talk it over later." His tone was anything but confident though.

    Cavendish listens as the situation is explained and nods as the other man decides to stick around. The Ladder looks down at his deck of cards and quietly mouths a few choice words. Then puts the deck away into a pocket.
    "Well I'm here and looking to do what I can." Apparently there's other Awakened, the Order really needs to keep better records on this town. "Just hope that this is a good story to tell and not a story to tell." With that the Ladder starts looking around, how exactly does one hide from Others?

    In her time searching the area Skye finds an unlocked shed for a community allotment patch. Inside are a few bags of top soil, compost and some gardening tools but it would be far from he worst place to stash a few weapons and have reasonably quick access to them.

    Guru not giving himself enough credit is able to discern some of the best routes to escape on foot or via roof if needed presents an easier time in chases if it comes to that.

    While Cavendish takes a more broad perspective to get a feel for local area, clusters of people come and go in the expected times, school run, rush hour and judging by the happy hour at the local pub coinciding with the time of this meeting he can be aware that it is unlikely that sleeper witnesses will be present on the streets barring serious bad luck.

    As the time of the meeting approach's cars being to arrive at the house in question most single people stepping up and ringing the door bell to met with smiles and welcomes by a middle aged, woman, blonde hair in a loose bees hive, dressed in a rich cream cardigan and fashionable jeans. None have spells active that the mages can detect, no unseen senses are set off.

    Offering Guru a soft smile with a light touch of his arm before leaving.
    ”Thank you, but do not feel forced, I do not expect to much danger though, but one never knows.” The advertisement style did more make it feels like neutral ones but who knew, traps where everywhere.

    Softly chuckling at the older mage.
    ”Lets hope.”

    The shed not really ideal but stashing away her throwing knives and one of her knives, one she would keep with her then hiding her phones underneath the furthest away bag of soil, making sure they were both turned off. Hesitating for a bit but holding the door as she grabs one of the floating marks around her and pulling it into herself.

    Transform self 7 successes

    Letting her skin turn from her usual extreme pale to a more regular Caucasian look, her white hair turning vibrantly red and shoulder long, eyes shifting to be a regular green, adding in a series of freckless along with a scar down her neck just enough to stick up from her outfit with no real way to constantly hide it.

    Then heading toward the meeting crowd, following the plan she had given her two compatriots by not arriving together as she heads up to the door with a normal knock, a slightly nervous look upon her more so for appearances sake than anything else, constantly pulling on her clothes to try and hide the scar there as if not wanting to let it be seen. Softly smiling at the woman should she open but looking a bit nervous, attempting to try and move her head away to make the scar harder to see.

    The spell described is two faces, the spell the dice were rolled for is declared as transform self in he roll which is what I need to go with.

    This mistake was noticed and I was made aware by LadySin before I read the post so thank you for that! I am quite happy to say you can use the transform self 7 suxx to get various animalistic features you might find useful

    He'd been in a pinch more than a few times so having a good escape plan in mind was the difference between life and death when your brain decided to go AWOL because it was too scared. Even if that escape plan was to drool all over your friends nice suit. There was a cold chill that ran down his spine as he kept those routes in mind watching Skye make her approach. His mind racing and buzzing with thoughts that threatened to overwhelm him. He looked over to Cavendish as he did his best to shake off the jitters, the itch in his heels to run. "Think it's bored parents?" Just because they were going in separately didn't mean he'd stay idle, he'd a good chance to look at the resonance of the place, if he was lucky the woman who answered the door. But options stricken from the list were just as good as answers found sometimes.

    The Ladder shrugs after a moment. "Could be? Everything feels very mundane so far." He takes a moment to look at the cars and the house. "How confident are we that this is what we think it is?" Pulling out his phone the ladder sets it to airplane mode then puts it away.

    "I'll go next I guess?"

    Guru focuses in with his sight to determine nothings as they are and knowing what a creature is, a simple task for those who know the truth and he through subtly of the resonance of the woman opening the door he confirms, this is one of the awakened. A mage he has not seen before.

    Skye approaches and the door opens to the knock after a short delay the woman stands smiling inquisitive at Skye. "Yes dear?" Her tones carry a warmth a touch of concern in the question, not concern for herself but for the woman standing outside her door.

    Cavendish readies himself to be the next to follow up, the situation slowly both unravelling as more becomes known, and weaving into its next phase as the situation continues to develop.

    Her body shifted to make her harder to recognize, using both chromatophore muscles and a chameleons change adaptability to have her skin color shifted from her her usual pale allure to a darker color, looking closer to a mix between Caucasian and Hispanic with a discoloration as if from a healed scar at her lower neck that she constantly tries to hide but her clothes not being fully ideal for it, her long hair turned dark, dark brown along with almost uncanny deep blue eyes hidden behind her sunglasses. Accompanied with keeping her hearing under control, keenly focusing it to listen to the area around them, to see what her ears might snap up, knowing that nearly no frequency were beyond them at this point.

    Looking a bit nervous as the door opens, head turned lightly to the side, trying to use her hair to conceal the discoloration and speaking in a soft tone.
    ”I, saw the flier.” Looking a bit nervous as she leans in a little closer with a softer voice. ”Or the hidden marks on the flier.” Getting back into her normal position. ”I recently arrived in the city, and thought it might be a good chance to maybe meet some people and maybe make some allies.” Glad that she could utilize the truth, truly hoping that this meeting would go well and that she might find someone that would serve as an ally down the road, well aware that it was a bit of a wishful thinking though. ”May I come in?”
