(Private)Quick meeting?

[Aurora]

The apartment is an open floor loft, walls bare red brick and floor a darker wood. It was clearly a loft that was done by hand. The living room area had oversized couches covered by a beige fabric with brightly colored pillows and a coffee table made from a door and other pieces were clearly done by hand. Soft white LED lights were strung around the room in various places. Multiple book shelves were in the process of being refinished, a sheet under them and various cans of stain around. Boxes upon boxes of books were stacked near it, books spilling out onto the floor. One of the shelves was clearly in the process of being redone, most of the paint scraped off it.

Though there was clearly a workspace with a desk and various books stacked upon it. A few books were open, but cloth had been placed over them, covering whatever work the book contained. There were finished shelves that contained books behind the desk, some written in various languages, some with their pages turned outward, titles hidden. This was her work space, and what she was working on was her business.

There is a piece of art framed and displayed. It's a beautiful mess of absinthe green, the fabled green fairy is flitting about furniture that is currently within Aurora's loft. Things she'd so lovingly restored.

Near the kitchen area was brewing equipment. A traditional carboy, with some beer fermenting in it, as well as a more advanced fermenter.

Near a window was a ballet bar with colored mats beneath it. There was also a hula-hoop with five prongs that stuck out on it, as well as a sword, plus some odd looking wired fan thing. Both were leaning against a small, 19x19x17 glass box, not very big.

[Skye]

Arriving upon her new skateboard, laxly dressed in her usual black clothes, really what other color went well with her pale complexion? Kicking it up with a grab to throw it under her arm before heading up toward the loft. Curious to see how the woman lived, never before having had the chance to come over for a visit.

Hurrying up to the door with a light yet firm knock, a bag in her right hand, skateboard under her left arm, having to take a moment to hold back and not just step right in after knocking being far to used to that kind of thing but that was not for a first visit to someone's place.

[Asclepius]

Not one to keep others waiting, Asclepius made sure to leave early for his arrival at yet a new location for a meeting. Following the directions given, he made sure to park as near as he could to not get lost. He recognised the parked vehicles nearby as ones that Aurora had taken to the other meeting and the 'Cookout' so he knew he was in the right place.

He made his way out of his car wearing some blue jeans with a plain black shirt on. It was just something casual as formality seemed to not be needed given the text conversation that lead to this. He noticed someone dressed in a familiar fashion waiting at the door, but there was little difficulty in working out who this person could have been. “Hey Skye, hows it going? Wicked board you got there! Have you knocked yet or just preparing yourself to do so?” He stood behind her awaiting response and possibly the door to answer.

[Guru]

Today he was mostly dressed for fitness as he wore black form-fitting under gear, then a pair of simple shorts and an olive green tank top. He would tap his smart watch and pocket his airpods as he came up panting behind the other two Shaman. "Oh, good. I'm not late." He said through panted breaths, his palms were a bright pink while his face was flush as the cool down started. He had the smart watch but it was an old habit as he push his fingers against his carotid to take the time manually. This was a first for Guru and he hadn't ever really wondered what it might look like until the time for the meeting had come around. He was allowed to be casually late being there more in advisory role for now. Still finding it strange when people listened to him at all. Granted he never really gave them much choice.

[Aurora]

It didn't take long for Aurora to open the door and motion for the others to step inside, "Hey guys." once they were in, she would close the door.

"Excuse the mess, I'm in the process of sanding and restaining things on the patio." and from how she looked, she was in the staining portion. Wearing a white tank top over shorts, her legs covered the smears of stain, which also covered her hands and spots on her tank.

"I have some beer and water if anyone is interested." she offers, grabbing a bottle of rubbing alcohol and scrubbing her hands in the sink. "Feel free to have a seat in the living room." as she scrubbed, "I'd make more small talk, but if this is such a pressing matter, we best get right to it."

[Skye]

Lifting her board with a smile as Knight arrived.
”Yes it´s awesome isn´t it, its the electric one I told you about, and damn is it fun to travel around on, just hate having to lock down the speed it is so much more fun at top speeds. I have knocked yes.” Letting him see the board.

Waving as the last one arrived.
”Hello there Josh, out for a little training run? Been well since last time?”

Not having much time after her question before spinning around to the opening of the door, getting in and taking off her shoes, not sure if she was expected to or not but she always wanted people to do so at her place so better not risk it.
”Thank you, would you mind if I charged my board whilst were here?” Paying no mind to the stains instead digging into her bag to take out a bag of raspberry bread to hand over to Aurora. ”I hope you like raspberries, wasn´t sure what might be the best to bring so hopefully this will be a tasty treat.”

Looking around the room with eyes only, not commenting on anything or moving anything, just curiously taking in each little sight with a happy look to finally get to see it.
”I wouldn´t say no to a water.” Taking out a bag of eight foil wrapped ciabatta halves with cream cheese one side with chives the other garlic, chanterelle's and a slice of cheese atop for everyone. A look to the other two ”Please dig in, wasn´t sure what pastries you might like so I got these on the way over.” Then sitting down in the living room. ”Lovely place you have here, but yes lets get started.”

[Asclepius]

Hearing the voice behind him and the panting as Guru approaches. “Nah man, you're not late, how far you run so far today?”


He looks over Skye's board as she speaks. “Yea looks a lot of fun, should I assume that your safety gear is in the bag or are you being bad and riding your board without them. You have to lock the speed? Oh god that sounds dangerous.” He chuckles as he says the words, at this point he would not have been surprised but he did not see the harm in the light banter about his concerns for avoiding injury, despite the shard knowledge of their healing talents.


He turns back as he hears the sound of someone approaching the door. He gives a wave as the door opens to greet Aurora. “Hiya.” He took his shoes off and left looked for a suitable place to put them as he made his way inside. He noticed the stains on Aurora's clothes as she speaks of sanding and staining. “Oh please, I bet its nothing compared to my apartment, there are boxes everywhere at the moment and stuff in temporary homes. I bet those are going to be a annoying to clean off.” He points at the stains as he mentions them. “Water is fine with me thank you, I would love a beer but I'm driving and it wouldn't be safe.”


Turning to Skye as he makes his way into the living room as Aurora indicated. “Man, one of these days I am going to remember to bring a treat to one of these gatherings so I don't feel so guilty coming bare-handed.” Once sat down, he made himself ready to begin when all are ready.

[Guru]

His attention had been drawn to the board and then to Asclepius as he worked on cycling his breathing. "3 miles, 20 minutes, not bad time. Have to save some for the run back but I saw nice line I'm going to take. I gotta practice my Dyno's. And I've been much the same." There was no hesitation to slip in after everyone else, "I'll take a water too." He finished but his eyes were scanning the place taking in the pain staking woodwork and refurbishment. Then his eyes fell on her labortory equipment and they lit up with an intensity that could only be matched by a child on christmas morning. He didn't hesitate to walk over to it and start looking it over. "Well look at you! Aren't you loved, you're well maintained and cared for aren't you?" Guru spoke to the carboy like he would a pet dog a bright smile on his face as he checked out the welds and seems on it. "That is a sexy piece of gear. " He offered with two very enthusiastic thumbs up.


His eyes shifting to the books as everyone else began to make themselves at home, though the moment baked goods hit the table his eyes were drawn to them. He could afford a little bite he was about to run it back off after all. Eyes drawn and greedy hands followed to snatch up one of the ciabatta halves for himself. Since they were getting right to business he'd busy his mouth with chewing for now to let those in contention discuss. He wouldn't complain about being allowed to be a fly on the wall for it especially not with snacks.

[Aurora]

A light shrug, “Oh, yeah, sure. There are outlets all over.” As the bread was offered, the Shaman accepts it, “Thanks.” Placing it on the counter in the kitchen area and opening a drawer to pull out a knife. Then turning to a cabinet to putt down some mismatched plates, placing them beside the bread. “Looks good.”

When water was requested, she opens the fridge and pulls out a couple bottles of water and a couple unmarked bottles of beer. The water and beer placed on the counter and one of the beers kept for herself. She had one outside, but this one was cold. A water was handed to Skye.

Laughing, “It’s a lot easier to clean off then you’d think, rubbing alcohol actually works wonders at taking it off.” She’d been at this for a couple years and had a few tricks up her sleeve to cleaning it off. Grabbing one of the waters, she hands it to him, deciding not to point out that as Shaman, they could technically remove the alcohol from their system whenever they wanted. But maybe she was the only one who did that.

An eyebrow was raised at the reaction Guru had to her more advanced fermenter, but she had to laugh. “Considering how much it cost me a couple years ago, it better be. I can give you the specs on it later if you like, give you the details on how it works.” To her, it just cut down on the whole brew process, but she knew Guru could appreciate everything inside it.

Beer in hand, she takes a seat on the couch, which was a central location due to the loft having an open floor plan. “So last meeting had ended with Skye laying out her bid for Provost, but I had wanted to hear more from you.” Looking to Asclepius. “I don’t feel like you got a fair chance to really talk about why you wanted the position.”

[Skye]

Sighing at the question.
”No I wear a helmet as according with the rules, but luckily that is all the law requires, hate it though, so annoying to have to put on each damn time.” Softly nodding at him. ”Yes down to a mere 20 for assisted it does handle more but legally so no it does not.” Stupid laws. ”Hence lock at 20.”

Softly chuckling at Asclepius words of bringing treats.
”Well we have a grand meeting soon, and monthly meetings for all so just keep it in mind for then. Cant wait to see what a Knight would bring.” Offering him a little smile at the words.

Smiling as Guru took one of the two halves meant for him.
”I hope it will taste well, never sure on how others prefer them in detail but if its to many chanterelle's so can you always take some off.” Quickly plugging her board in before seating herself down. ”Thank you.”

Accepting the water with a smile.
”Thanks.”

Raising her hand as the question was aimed toward Asclepius.
”Before that may I make a small interjection?" Waiting a couple of seconds to make sure she wasn´t interrupting. "With the exception of me so did no one else clearly state their desire for the position, the birth of Knight here being interested in the position came from my words and not his.” Looking toward Knight/Asclepius. ”I am not saying that you do not wish to serve it only that the words of it was never confirmed by you in any way for interest in any position other than the Councilor position.” Opening her water and taking a light sip. ”If you do hold a desire for it so of course you should have the chance to speak, you heard my words during the last meeting and know what it is all about.” Taking another light sip of her water. ”Should you not be interested though so do I have a proposition I would like to present if you would all be amenable to hear it? One I think will strengthen us and be beneficiary for all of us in the long run along with strengthening us, and our bonds.”
