Each of the mages who agreed to work for The First would be
given a time and place for a meeting: Five past Midnight. A
private jet hangar at Logan International Airport.
The hangar is mostly empty, though a few cars are haphazardly
parked. There’s a rough, old, abused table off to the side of
the center, with folding aluminum chairs arranged freely around
it. A few bottles of spirits and wine -- the good stuff -- and
some glasses are scattered about the table.
The sounds of the characters’ arrivals echo, a soft reverb
follows their voices. So much space, so little stuff.

Well, it's certainly not what he expected. But then again, he
hadn't expected anything specific.
Solomon arrives, dressed nicely enough, and slowly starts to
walk further into the hangar. A particularly large space that,
he soon notices, is filled with a few chairs and a table with
drinks on it. Some amount of hospitality at least.
Before really worrying about anyone else, he heads over to the
table and starts to look the spirits over, but settles on one of
the nicer looking wines. He's not the person who asks for the
finest bottle at the restaurant, but if it's there it's there.
He pours himself a glass of it and gives it a swirl while he
waits for the others.

"This is the place." Corbin says to me. I keep quiet as I walk
in. Corbin, a normal looking raven, sits on my shoulder. There's
booze. Nice. I walk over and look at what's there... I grab a
bottle of whiskey, the whole thing, and put it in my purse, it's
large and black. Most of my outfit is. Black boots, black jeans,
a white t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. My hair is messy,
but purposefully so...
I smile at the man who was coming in as I did. I don't say
anything to him though. I figure they're be time for
introductions later, or whoever's running this show will
introduce us to each other. Besides, there's more people coming.
I could hear their voices behind me.

I’m just behind the pretty young woman with the big black
everything – nice aesthetic, but I’d never pull it off; too
tanned, too perky, too blonde. Instead, I stroll in in
waterproof hiking boots of a fawn color – things are shockingly
comfortable – blue jeans and a red blouse, over which is thrown
a sun-yellow parka with fake fur around the hood. I’m just
pulling this away from my face, fluffing out my golden hair,
when I see the table and its offerings.
“Ooh!” I squeak delightedly. “Refreshments!”
I prance up to the table and select a nice scotch. Pity I never
learned to mix drinks worth a damn, I could play bartender!
If anyone gets close enough to me, I smell of wildflowers, a
light, clean scent. I park my exceedingly well-formed butt on
the table and proceed to pour for anyone who asks.
I live to service!
Err. Serve. I live to …
…oh whatever.

They come in from the parking area, following the pretty blonde
but not too closely. Caesar is on their tail, a large smokey
colored Maine Coon.Vieno is wearing jeans and tan workboots, a
long sleeve button up in dark blues and greens under a black
leather duster. Theyr hair is tousled.
When they see the others, they smile slightly. "I'm Rebus," they
say as introduction, and take the offered cup of scotch. "I
guess now we wait." They look around.

[center]VIII[/center]
---------------------------------------------------------
Before too much chit-chat can strum up, but not early enough
that people haven’t been able to get comfortable, a black SUV
pulls into the hangar and out climbs an athletically-built
blonde woman in a blue uniform. She climbs out of the back seat,
not the front seat.
She has a clipboard and stands with the posture of someone who’s
spent time in the military. Upon closer inspection, her ‘badge’
bears the symbol of the Concilium of Boston.
“Hello everyone,” she says, confidence on her voice. “Thank you
all for coming. I am Eight, sleepwalker working for The
Justicar. The First offers her sincere apologies; she is unable
to attend this meeting,” she says.
“Which, ultimately, is fine. You’re being gathered to deal with
the problem so that the Justicar can focus on her work
elsewhere.”
She looks at her clipboard and then back to the table, and
smiles.
“I have been briefed on the situation. We don’t know much, but
that’s part of why you’re here. I suppose we should begin with
introductions?”

Solomon notes quickly that he's apparently the token male of the
group. Need to be sure there's one for inclusivity purposes. He
understands, he's still happy to be here.
That stupid little joke is of course kept as an inside thought.
Taking a big sip of his wine instead, he watches as, with
perfect timing, an SUV pulls into the hangar so the Justicar's
assistant can start to brief them all.
"Right, introductions. I'm Solomon. With the Ladder. Pleasure to
meet you all?" he says, raising his glass slightly. He feels
like if he appends anything unrelated it's going to feel like a
sharing circle at summer camp.

By the time VIII comes in I've sat in one of the chairs, one leg
under my butt the other planted on the seat of the chair with my
head on my hand that's sitting on my knee. I wave with that
hand, never moving it from my knee. "Morena, Mysterium witch." I
say with a small smile. "Nice ta meet ya." I add.
For now I just watch the others, waiting to learn their names.
Well...their shadow names at least. I doubt anyone here will be
dumb enough to say their real name outloud.

Introductions!
“I’m Hausos,” I tell everyone with a cheery smile and a wave,
“Free Council, with the Circle of Renewal.”
If they know the name, it’ll make things much simpler. If not,
well, explanations will be in order, I suppose. Better they know
at the outset. And my, my, but it’s a good looking crowd in
here. I’m enjoying the warmth of the Scotch in my belly and the
thrill of pending adventure on my nerves. I’m trying not to be
obvious about giving everyone the eye, but everyone is well
worth looking at! Second and third looks, even.
“Can I hold your cat?” I ask Rebus politely. Because fuzzy
things make everything better.

They nod their head to VIII and the others. "I'm Rebus, also of
the Mysterium. This is Caesar, he's a working cat, not a
familiar, though.: He paused and looked between Meadow and the
cat for a few moments. Maine Coons are the size of medium dogs
when full grown, which Caesar was.
"Um...if he'll let you pick him up, I guess." They didn't sound
fully for this idea. Then they sip the scotch and look back at
VIII.
