    Stained glass butterflies surround Tuesday, each pane on their tiny wings glows a verity of iridescent hues, while showing glimpses of what was, what is, and what will be. When vulgar magic is cast, the fluttering cascade doesn't last, they shatter. Falling into dull, colorless dust before vanishing completely.

    The social hub for the Magi of Sacramento


    Tapestry of History woven upon stone walls, flickering memories of else-when flutter on the periphery of Acanthus eyes. Time stretches out and out and out-! The Circle will stand, a bastion and a beacon hidden from Sleeper sight, available only to the Awakened; the Pentacle Orders each have a place of their own within...

    ...this is from where a unicorn pops her head from, sneezing from the sheer amount of dust that clung to the walls (and other things) of the Guardian's private space.

    Tuesday hadn't told anyone of her recent change in Order status, but she hasn't denied anything either.

    Maybe she just wondered what the Wise of Sacramento would say if and when they found out.

    Maybe she wanted to get pictures of their faces. For the lulz Posterity.

    One thing was clearly known.

    She needed more lemon pledge.



    Figured I'd open a Sanctuary Scene because why the hell not? Aaaaand that the next Formal Consilium can be for after WID ends, and then we can also formally announce our swanky new cabals then too!

    There is another mage hard at work cleaning, too. Or more appropriately, moving things around in the Mysterium sanctum. For many months the replica of the Chapter House had been both headquarters and Sanctum to the Moros. Now that he had a proper Sanctum deep in the woods, he actually had to consider what went where - what belonged to him as an Awakened and what he held in lieu for his Order. He had never had to consider that division before, and it was giving him some trouble.

    Did his ritual paraphernalia belong to him? Should it be stored in the Athenaeum as the accoutrements of a future Censor (after all, he had worn his robes when he dedicated the Order's Sanctum at the Circle...)

    The vague sounds - constant if faint, enough to sit just below the awareness - roused him enough to take the opportunity to flea his conundrum. He stepped out into the Cathedral proper, a look of concern oozing onto his face as he slowly came to discern the direction from which the sounds originated.

    To his mind, there were no Guardians in the city, not now that Star had left with Avis. Frown creasing his face he threw up Sight and Shield and advanced, hesitantly, on the space claimed by the Guardians. Inwardly he cursed that he neglected to bring his ritual knife with him, and that his mobile was laying on a shelf in the Mysterium Sanctum - with easy reach of his cleaning but totally useless under the vaulted ceiling of the Cathedral proper.

    No matter, he was willing to face whatever rummaged through the Guardian's holdings.

    Tuesday rakes a hand through her hair.

    Then frowns because grim from her hand onto her hair. Making it stick up, and look weird. Weirder.

    With less then pleased look, Tuesday carefully wipes both of her hands on my jeans.

    It takes a bit and gets bits of wet dust and...stuff onto them. Which was, you know, expected buuuut still. Ick.

    Scrunching her nose. Gloves. Totally should have worn them.

    Shuffling away from the entrance to the Guardian space, Tuesday takes a long breath, relishing in the fact that it wasn't stale or full of dust.

    Then comes the blinking. Because people. Err. Person.

    "Hi." Tuesday waves.

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    Faye knew she had to get the Ladders private space in order, she’d been putting it off too long. But it was just hard to find that motivation when it was just her. Maybe spending some time cleaning and all that fun stuff would help her when another Thearch showed up.

    So maybe it was best to take stock of what needed to be done and go from there. Yeah, that worked.

    And hence Faye walks into the Circle, typical can of Monster in one hand with a messenger bag over her shoulder. Today wasn’t a workout clothes kinda day for her, she wanted to put some effort into it. So she picked a long sleeved sweater dress, long pieces of yarn brushing her legs as she walked. Her footsteps quiet today due to the sneakers she had on, which meant her height wasn't altered by her usual heels. She was finding flats and sneakers to be way more comfortable!

    Sunglasses were pushed up on her head as she enters, seeing Tuesday and Campanella, she waves,

    “Hey you two.”
    Greets the Shaman, “Anything exciting go on?” cause if so, someone should have called her.

    Campanella, tensed and ready for a fight...

    Tuesday appears.

    The Moros nearly jumps and sags against a pillar, gasping and pounding his chest.

    "What are you doing in there?" He wheezes. "I could have -. I thought that -." Coughing, he shakes his head and has to take some steadying breaths.

    It's a small bookshelf, but somewhere to start. Recording the Sacramento Arrow for what it is worth. Knowledge is Power, even if only to know who came before you. Chariot, True Name Unknown and all he was, is only a short paragraph for now. Hopefully the others can help flesh out who he was for the brief time he was in town. It's depressing work. Rubbing the bridge of his nose with an ink stained hand Thrope puts the first book of many into the small bookshelf.

    Hopefully the rest of the books that would follow are of better things. Thrope has no intent of turning this into a memento mori. Taking a deep breath to throw off some of the sadness Thrope heads out into the public space of the Circle. "You good Campanella?" Cause two Thyrsus, no ones dieing unless there's a bomb.

    "Ahhh-huh." Tuesday looks at Campy a little funny. "I'm I that scary?"

    To Faye, a wave and "I apparently I'm a terrifying fiend, I mean. Come on! Look at Campy's face!" Tuesday laughs, her eyes sparkling, but there was a question there. Did the Moros know? Suspect? Would he say if he did?

    Stepping back, leaving room for Thrope to poke at the Moros.

    "Maybe you should totally, you know, make sure my awesomely scary scaryness didn't do something awful to his poor heart."

    There was an amused look on her face as Campanella jumps. Now that was just fucking hilarious!
    A wave was offered to Thrope as he too appears, grinning, “Not sure, haven’t seen someone jump like that since a YouTube video.” But clearly she was amused.

    Smirking to the unicorn, “The face is priceless! Gonna have to strap a Go Pro to you so you can record terrifying people. Cause those facial reactions are worth recording to watch later.” Laughing along with her. There was just something funny as hell about someone getting startled.

    Shrugging before looking back to Thrope, “He appears fine, I mean, he’s talking and breathing.” She was obviously playing, “And standing.” So yeah, looked fine to her.

    “Aside from scaring poor Campanella, what’s everyone up to?”

    "I'm fine. My heart is in next week, okay?"

    Campanella puffed.

    "I thought I heard noises coming from the old Guardian sanctuary, that is all. I came to investigate..." He hoisted himself up, fumbling with his lapel. He left the words hanging but from his gestures he was ready to move on from the friendly scrutiny of the other Awakened.

    "Anything of interest happening?" he added, hopefully. Anything to turn the subject of chatter off of him.


    Yeah this was supposed to be CAMPANELLA *head desk* Too late now.

    Vigil

    Witness had warned him of past turmoil in Sacramento. Told him to expect everything -- and nothing. He might have hoped for a better idea of what he was walking into, but given what he'd left behind ... no, the unknown wouldn't scare him, and it certainly wouldn't stop him.

    But the unexpected could certainly make Vigil hesitate, if briefly. And to find the Awakened of this embattled city housed in a giant cathedral ... well, that qualified. He spares two breaths for wonder before pushing it to the side. Gawking won't serve this moment. Instead, the Moros strides purposefully through the building, seeking the echoes of voices and the glimmer of willwork.

    It doesn't take long to find the small gathering, as Campanella's words drift toward him. "That depends. Would you consider a new arrival to the city to be of interest?" A brief flicker of a smile, as if sharing a joke. "Name's Vigil. Necromancer, Talon. I trust I'm not interrupting anything?"

    He almost offers a handshake. A habit of years that has yet to fade entirely, despite numerous reminders of what could be done with a few flecks of skin. The aborted gesture quickly flows into a wave directed at those present. Hopefully quickly enough to appear intentional.
