The tugging of violence has subsided, but it is obvious now that there is a lingering unease, as cops also begin to show up to survey the damage. You see people wandering around aimlessly, and others crying over the fallen, and some seem to just walk by, laughing about the joke of the day, oblivious to the carnage that has just taken place.

Invictus sends a text message off to the other members of the Cabal, and then he renews his protections while he waits for a reply.
01-01-2008 10:00 Invictus rolls 9 to Unseen Aegis (Int+Occult+Death+HS) (10 Again)
8,5,9,3,8,5,3,4,7 [3 successes]

Invictus is just able to finish renewing his mage sight before the text reply comes. He fires off a pair of texts before heading off to the location Blackfire gave him.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A short time later, Invictus comes around a bend in a path to the fountain. He doesn't immediately see Blackfire, so he looks around while he waits.

Fiddler, his eyes aided by his space-sight, walks the shortest path to the destination he read in his text. Seeing Invictus, he catches up.
"Hey, have you found Blackfire yet?"

Both groups find each other with ease, as they are both drawn by the cacophony of screams and crying, at this point policemen barking orders.
((FYI, the primary incident is taking place around the area where Discovery Park Dr and Jedediah Smith Rec Trail intersect.))

Animus turns to Blackfire. "These are your cabal-mates, I assume?"

Blackfire nods.
"You would be right. By the looks of it I am glad we decided to look into this rumor."

Animus turns to the others. "I'm Animus. Undrichmann told me to meet you, although I wish it could have been under better circumstances."

Invictus shakes Animus' hand and introduces himself. "Do either of you have any idea about what caused this?"

Animus nods. "Two stones, in the spirit realm. One bears the mark of the arcanum of fate; the other, the arcanum of mind."
((edit: I stated the wrong arcanum))

Invictus nods, neither of those aspects were anywhere near his talents, so he lacked any blinding insights to them. Also the police were making him nervous. "So what's the plan?"

Animus thinks for a moment. "I think the easiest way to break this is to remove the runes. I can open a gateway into the shadow realm, but I would need at least an hour to do it. Also, the effect is not exactly subtle; we would need to do it somewhere private and then come back here."
As an afterthought, he adds, "If it weren't for the crowd, I could reach across without the need for the gateway."

Fiddler, after exchanging introductions with Animus, says, "I could take a look at the area with the Mind Arcanum to see if there is anything I can glean about this "mind stone's" effects."
Fiddler focused himself, calming his mind by focusing on a single sound, before opening his third eye to the surroundings
(-Relinquish Space 1 Mage sight "trailing the long stride"
-Cast Mind 1 improvised spell "third eye" Dice pool= 1 + 2:
03-03 23:31:57 Fiddler rolls 3 dice to Third eye 1 success
2,1,9 (prolonged at potency 1))
He then observed the surroundings with his new sight, looking for possible effects of mind magic.

Blackfire thinks for a moment and believes he can trust this man.
"If you needed a private and calm place to perform magic. My place is fairly secure and out of the way."

Invictus is willing to trust Blackfire's judgment. "I'm not sure how everyone got here, but I came in my truck, so I can drive anyone that came on foot." He was pretty sure that he could fit everyone in the cab, he'd have to move some stuff into the truck bed, but he could manage it.

Fiddler can feel the tugging of threads attempting to affect thought, but can't place a location on it, just a general "feeling". There are no observable magical effects, just a psychic residue of sorts.

Relinquish Grim Sight
Invictus wipes across his eyes from right to left with the first two fingers on his left hand and the other three magi feel their Unseen Senses tingling.
01-01-2008 10:00 Invictus rolls 7 to Speak w/Dead (Wits+Occult+Death) (10 Again)
9,9,5,6,2,2,3 2 successes
Here, Invictus wipes away a little construction dust from around his eyes, but where it really matters, he wipes away the metaphysical grime that keeps him from seeing into Twilight. He looks around until he can find the spirit Animus is talking about, to guage the size of it. "There's room."
(Is there anything interesting going on in Twilight? He can see and speak to ghosts, spirits are hazy and he can't talk to them)

Blackfire nods.
"Then there doesn't seem to be much more we can do here. Let's head back to my place and continue this in the shadow."

The trek back to the truck is uneventful, except for the ambulances and police cars, and the growing crowds. The ghosts of the recently dead have no idea what happened or why people did what they did, and are a little confused about what happens to them next. All the spirits are cowering, and none are willing to talk at all.

Invictus takes a moment to rummage around and move some things from the cab to the truck bed. "Get in, I'm not picky on who sits where. Make sure to buckle up."
