**Ermon** · Oct 7th, 2014 03:02 PM

Ermon is late. Late-late-late. Casual clothes are in comparative disarray, hear is ruffled, eyes are red and wondering, lips moving absent-mindedly. For those who don't know him, it might look as if he is on drugs. Or drunk. Or insane. Or all three.

The normally cheerful chef has been pulling all-nighters upon all-nighters even taking a vacation at work to spend it locked in the Library and studying, studying and even more studying. When he enters, Ermon immediately sees all the pains of his existence: Asp and Telos, all in one place. This makes them easier to avoid by going in a very wide circle around them.

He hasn't been skipping sessions with the Arrow but he has been half-assing it the last week or two. And Asp doesn't like slacking off.

Which is why right now not only does his head throb but that is added atop the pain in all his muscles, even ones he had no idea were there.

Somehow, his Lex-addled brain picks out a ray of shining light in a sea of pain: Ariadne speaking to someone who must be Warlocks. Yeah, there are familiar faces but it's difficult to push Arcana Purviews out of his mind so fuck them. They shall remain nameless.

Ermon joins this scene.

**Miach** · Oct 7th, 2014 04:15 PM

Being near Crowley , Ermac , and Pepper , Miach watched with interest as @Nous finally joined the fray of the evening. She was quickly followed by several other people, two of whom Miach knew nothing about... and the newcome Hierarch.

Lacking really enjoying option - Reverb, where are you - the Acanthus answered his Path Councilor instead. "Business's as usual... tracking Banishers, learning the Truths of the World, all in a day's work for Sac-city's Awakened..." he said with a smile to make you wonder whether he was joking, or not.

Sylvan watched as the Magi entered the place, and smiled as he saw them break off into groups and start to socialize. Unfortunately, while he was eager, he had very few ideas of who he should approach. The awakened could get touchy. Regardless, there were a few places he could start. When Casitive Tyria entered, Sylvan gave her a respectful bow and a smile in deference to her authority. While he was glad to see the Curator here, he did not particularly want to talk to her. The Woman gave him the chills, and definitely seemed more like the 'I'll call you' type. Asp received a wave, as Sylvan remembered her from the Triathalon, but lost track of her after he dropped the ball on the run. Speaking of the Triathalon, Miach was also present, and Sylvan approached him with a smile.

"Hey there, Miach, nice to see you. Who's this?"

**Jhet** · Oct 8th, 2014 01:55 PM

She tips her coffee in greeting and response to Tyria ( Casitive ). They seem to have an understanding and the always present coffee in Tyria's hand has a partner in crime in Nous'. A silent understanding and greeting is more than enough between the Mysterium's leader and the Path's councilor. Hell, some people might even call it cordial.

"I'm glad to hear you're up to business as usual. Terrible tragedy about the contents of the business being usual though." She intones a sadness to her words in response to Miach ( Bigpaw ). Usual business that involves Banishers is not something to be happy about ever. Hopefully it can be downgraded to just learning the secrets of the world. "If you'll excuse me though?" She tips her coffee to Miach in greeting as well, nodding over to the small group of awakened souls where she is about to apply her attention.

Nous joins Crowley, Pepper, and Ermac.

**Miach** · Oct 8th, 2014 06:13 PM

Since Nous, Crowley, Pepper and Ermac moved slightly aside to have their talk, Miach did the same with Sylvan.

Miach and Sylvan C_Lloyd continue here

Asp, Eryxias, and Telos continue here

**Falstaff** · Oct 9th, 2014 09:27 PM

So much for meeting a sumo . . . No matter--Fate would not let them remain apart for long. Falstaff makes a note not to say "Banisher" again; the word, it seems, is worse than "bomb." He stands by, to see if the scary boss H-guy will yell at him. Maybe the serious lady is his girlfriend . . . and when she wanted to make out with him it made him mad . . . and he would slap Falstaff with a glove and then challenge him to a pistol duel to the death . . . and then Falstaff would never meet the sumo. Cruel Fate.

**Samaritan** · Oct 11th, 2014 05:03 AM

Bishop shook Pelicans hand, before he rose from his chair and made his way through the assembled mages filling the room. He headed for the curator.
"Good evening, Mrs. Primoria ( Casitive ) . Would it be possible to steal five minutes of your time for a business proposal?" he said politely, while offering the woman his hand.

**Weavebreaker** · Oct 12th, 2014 09:39 AM

Weavebreaker had her hair tied back and wore a simple white tee with jeans. For all the time she had spent in Sacramento, she had rarely had a reason nor desire to come to the Bismark. Most of her time had been spent amoung the area of town where Banisher's were most concentrated, yet things had changed.

Weavebreaker dropped her classes and moved off of campus; at first to the Circle and then to Sanctum. She did not mind moving out from her dorm, but she told herself daily that the classes were only temporary and once things were settled she would finish her degree. Still some habits were hard for her to drop and she held no spells weaved into her tapestry and her aura was no different from a sleeper.

She stepped in quietly and let her eyes wander around, taking in the new faces with the old...

“You've already stolen twenty-three seconds asking,” Tyria states simply to Bishop as he approaches and makes his initial ask. “You may have four minutes and thirty-seven seconds,” the Curator states gesturing towards a seat for the Guardian ( Samaritan ) to take.

“However, only after the Consilium's business is finished.” Tyria looks towards the form of Aquinas as he strides towards the center of the room. The laugh lines on the man's face suggest amusement. The Curator's eyes snaps back to Bishop, knowing that the proceedings are about to begin.

Leave it to an Acanthus to know the perfect moment.

Aquinas | Spells Active | Silver Ladder Status: 1 | Consilium Status 2 (Hierach)

“So, Falstaff,” Aquinas says as he settles the Renaissance Man away from the Mastigoi of Sacramento, “welcome. Find your Syndic, while normally there's some time to mingle; apparently it is the eleventh hour for some paths to choose their Counselor.” A beat, “You understand.” But, it is said in a way that suggests that the Magus must understand.

“Take a seat with your Syndic, take a deep breath, and have a cup of water; it will probably get very warm in your garb soon.”

Releasing Fallstaff from his side, Aquinas strides alone towards the center of the room. The astute will notice how amused he is at the whole encounter. The Hierarch takes a breath and with a voice that reaches the furthest corners of the room, begins.

“Welcome, everyone, to our First Formal Consilium. For those new to our Nation, we hope that you will stay and help us build something. Herald Zodiac,” A gesture towards the Guardian, “and Herald Crowley can give you the rundown of the Consilium if the Voice of your Order is not here.” Aquinas allows a bit of time for the pair of Heralds to make themselves known.

“Before anything else, I need the Counselors of the Paths and–or Provosts, in the event that the Counselor is not yet here, to come forward.”

Aquinas remains standing, waiting with beatific patience. It is as much a last call for some paths, as it is a time for others to make themselves finally known to the rest.
