"I very much doubt - assuming the enemy is one of our own - that a group that possesses the necessary knowledge of Fate, Time, Space and Prime necessary to cast that spell would kidnap your son and murder your in-laws. They have likely more important things to do", he shrugs.
"The future doesn't exist, the laws of sympathy do not apply to prophecies. I can try to divine what you must do in order to find your son alive, but that particular future will depend from your actions"

Evidence Shroud (non-ruling),
Another day to go to the Circle..., Philip figured, shrugging. And he would not come unprepared. So he decided to cast Quantum Flux on himself, giving it a day`s duration, but choosing not to use High Speech this time. And he decided to go back to chocolate chip cookies this time.
2 successes
With the cookies fresh out of the oven and in his signature cookie jar, he also decided to try his luck with a double spell- a combined Sybils Sight - Fortunes Protection spell. Although, remembering his earlier humiliation, he did decide to quietly whisper in High Speech for it as he attempted to give this spell a one-day duration as well, this time. Feeling the double spell work completely and immediately this time, he almost jumped with glee.
And so he left his place, dressed in jeans, orange sweater, his gray-black jacket, gray-blue running shoes and his better backpack with his chosen goodies.
He greeted those present in the circle at the time with curt nods. And from what he was able to overhear, a very interesting discussion was underway between Corn, Winter and Chambers, with some curious implications.
"Feel free to have a cookie and don`t mind me."
he said, having nothing to add to the conversation but listen intently.

After the mess that was last months meeting, the desire to come this month had been almost zero.
But, as Councilor, she knew she had a responsibility not only to her Path, but the Consilium. If someone from her Path needed her, she should be there, plain and simple. Personal feelings aside, she needed to be there.
So, here she was, travel mug in hand with coffee, because she needed coffee. Casual was her thing for the day with skinny jeans, an oversized sweater and suede booties.
Walking in, taking a sip of her coffee, a wave was offered to those gathered with her free hand, “Hello everyone.” If she overheard anything, she didn’t comment on it.

Dexterity Improvised spellWalking inside with a calm expression upon her, fearing that this get together would go well exactly as she feared it would, dressed for the season. Or perhaps season just passed, along with her trusted knives at her back, hands filled with a large stack of donut boxes as she makes her way over to a table, setting them down neatly in a little circle to reveal a massive collection of various Halloween themed cupcakes, very few seeming to look like another. One of the boxes having the word vegan on it along with another having the word gluten-free, not that she cared but they were still fresh and she had gotten the whole bunch for a very good price.
Eyes scanning the area, and those in attendance, half surprised at how few were here. Walking past Aurora with a friendly smile upon her lips.
”Good evening Councilor, I hope all is well with you.” The phrase more so said in politeness, having nothing to neither notify her off nor things that she felt this was the place they could speak of.
Waving to three engrossed in conversation with her right hand as she grabs a chocolate chip cookie and places herself next to Philip, like him her ears listening in on the talks but not wishing to engage on these matters needlessly.
”Good evening cutie, I hope all is well with you?” Taking a soft bite of the cookie. ”Our conversations always seems to get rather brief so before this one to slips us by, do you mind your nickname?” Giving him a quick look over. ”It may be one of truth, but forcing it upon you would be rude of me.” They had brooched it before but never had the full chance to talk for long enough to get into it.

unmoveable, Reimagine ritual imagoCorn simply receives a shrug. "Well until we know it remains as viable as any other possibility." People go missing without being found surprisingly often. Serial killers, psychotic breaks, something supernatural. Not wishing it to be or not be anyone does nothing to lessen to the possibilities. Grim thoughts but eliminating possibilities by sticking your head in the sand only risked making this all the harder to resolve.
It depends on what reaction the yare trying to provoke. If they know corn and how he goes on, targeting his family to get him to do something stupid and maybe forfeit Consilium protection. Get banished maybe would make him easier to pick off. But the Moros makes no claim to understanding the thinking of a seer, banisher or any other supernatural foe and so keeps his speculations to himself.
Philip gets a nod and a smile, more wan then usual but a smile non the less. "Philip good to see you." And it seems it was a busy time of the morning as others make their way through. Aurora gets the same smile. "Aurora, how have you been?"Skye entering without offering a greeting just gets a nod. She seemed like she was going to be busy.

Aurora , Philip and Skye get a greeting. But Corn is much more focused on what Winter said.
"You can divine what I must do to find my son, if he is still alive?" He is alive. Of course he is alive. Corn said hopeful. "If you do, in a reasonable time frame, I will ... " the thinks. Skye's entrance gave him an idea. "I will give you up to 6 alchemical items I can make, with at least a week's duration, in the next ... well, whenever."
To Skye , he said "I can leave a letter for you with some ideas I have, about what you asked me to help you with. Some pointers. See where your head is at about it. It may not be exactly what you envisioned, but I think it will suit your needs. Also, I will include sites. I hope you can have access to the internet."

"I don't need your trinkets, let's say I'm willing to trade my divination skills for a favour I'll call out at another time", he shrugs. "I'll need a couple hours and something that belongs to him, his real name may be necessary, I'm afraid", a pause, "Don't worry I can keep a secret"

His friend Chambers got a reciprocal nod and smile.
Turning to adressing Skye and Chambers, he didn`t mind the flattery from one who was cute herself. Not one bit.
"Yes, I`m doing ok. Thanks. And you guys?"
giving them a beat to answer before continuing, this time adressing Skye only.
"Well if you really mean it, I`ll wear the nickname with pride."
In the meanwhile, while he initially was content to leave Corn and Winter, and to a lesser extent Chambers, to their own devices, their discussion progressively irked him. Well, seeing as he thought he`d already indirectly suggested the very thing Winter was now suggesting, during Consilium. And he felt that no one had taken him seriously when he`d suggested it, just because he`d mentioned the entirely reasonable need for proper precautions. Despite the fact that he also obviously knew prophecies of the future produced no sympathy, like Winter had said. It had obviously been interactions with sympathetic objects in the present, that Philip had been afraid of. And he wanted to be sure no trace carried over to himself. Sure, Philip considered joining the investigation, and he believed there was always a risk of associating with Corn. But now Winter was trying to capitalize on something where he had called dibs ahead of time. Well, not in so many words. But still, Philip wanted in on the bidding action for a favor from Corn with his own knowledge of Time and Fate and so he jumped on the bandwagon. Or was it Winter who`d jumped on Philip`s bandwagon? Philip was unsure. But he did eventually speak up firmly on the subject.
"Wait just a minute. Wasn`t that exactly what I suggested doing for Corn when we discussed it during Consilium? You were going to interrogate him. I was going to temporally investigate and also join the investigation team, time-permitting. Or, that was my take at least. So, yeah. Everything you guys just talked about applies to me too. If you get me your son`s true name and something sympathetic to him. Then I`d help you find what you must do to find your son alive for your original suggestion, Corn. Perhaps only 3 or 4 items."
he said, getting business-like. Like he was when making recommendations to clients or reviewing work for the trust.

An eyebrow was raised slightly, “Hello Skye.” Her attention was on the conversation taking place, and any tone, or lack thereof, wasn’t caught. And if it was, it wasn’t acknowledged.
To Chambers, “Oh you know, the usual, nothing too exciting. But doing well thanks, and yourself?” she hadn’t yet decided if the current convo was one she was going to step into or not.
The back and forth between Corn and Winter is simply watched, she wasn’t going to get involved.
Oh wait, now things were going to get a bit more interesting, and she leans against a wall, arms crossed over her chest, one hand bringing her coffee to her lips. Her face really gives away nothing, just someone observing the back and forth, curious to see how it would unfold.

Dexterity Improvised spellThe nod of the Moros Councilor noted with a light smile offered toward him, but she would not interfere with their discussion, that was theirs and not ground for her to encroach upon.
Looking a bit surprised as Corn approaches her, having expected him to be rather busy with the bombardments of people, but she would be here if she was needed yes still for him to have a moment to step aside like this, that was unexpected to say the least.
”I do use the web quite a bit, be it looking over peoples social media, instruction videos, to research, so yes fear not I have access and accustomed to it. I do doubt that my aims can be easily made though, especially with how to factor in the string.” Softly smiling at him, knowing few others probably would. ”I shall see what insights they might offer, thank you for your research.”
Looking back to Philip.
”Let me share a little truth with you, each nickname I give is born from something. However fleeting that thing may be, so if there was any doubt let it be swallowed and dispersed into the aether. I do find you to be quite cute, likewise so have I not made a secret of wanting to get to know you better.” Taking a small bite of her cookie. ”A man who can birth life into something like this, that is willing to put a piece of themselves out in such a manner again and again without even expecting a thank you in turn is someone worth to get know, and whom I believe has a good heart.”
”Kindly excuse me for just a minute.” Grabbing another cookie, placing it on a paper plate and walking over to Aurora to hand it over with a slightly concerned look, not really used to see her drawn back in this manner. ”I hope all is well with you?” Waiting just a moment before carrying on, timing it between pauses of the ones they all seemed to listen to. ”I may not be ideal, but if you need an ear you know where to find me.” Just softly smiling at her with a friendly look before being ready to walk of, cookie left behind had it not been taken, not wanting to bother her in case she needed this time to stand back and just be present without talking to anyone, but still having wanted to show that she was there if she needed someone.
