(have you gotten the descript? do you want it or care for it? :P )

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 3:49:54 PM)
*Sinclair investments was nestled in a small corner of town, a standard one story office complex with a well designed and crafted atrium with a large dome held by a large stylies cross archway to hold it up. A secretary's desk and a Security desk sat inside the main atrium. Bryan would be led back through the office, moslty private offices with one large cubicle area, it was still during busines hours and things were bustling around. Xander's office was rechaed through a pair of heavy double oaken doors with intricate moulding and craftsmanship.*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 3:52:11 PM)
*His persnal office was a large square, one wall containing books, the other a full bar and the opposite wall from teh entrance where Xander's desk was the central focal point of focus, the wall behind him was made of Tinted and Reinforced glass, igivng a nice view out the back. Xander ws seated in a high backed chair, folders and notebooks in front of him. He wore an exopensive and specifically tailored suit, today's colors being Black and Dark red. All matters of trophy's and pictures were allocated along the walls, including a large claymore with stylized and unique carvings*

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 3:53:30 PM)
*Bryan was wearing black BDUs neatly tucked into his boots, and a dark red button down shirt. His hair was tied back rather than swept into his bandanna. He had a slender black portfolio in his left hand, eyes taking in the architecture and decorations. He smiled pleasantly once in the office.*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 3:54:55 PM)
*he stood up from the desk as Bryan made his entrance, fixing his suit jacket he would walk around to greet him, offering his hand* Pleasure to se you sir.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 3:55:14 PM)
*He shook his hand* The pleasure is mine. Nice office.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 3:56:12 PM)
*he motioend him over to the corner, where a collection of couches and chairs sat around a coffee tale. Thanks, I spend a lot of time here, so I might as well live in comfort don't you think? Can I get you a drink?

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 3:56:36 PM)
A drink would be welcome. Whatever you plan on having.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 3:58:38 PM)
*he'd head back over to the coffee table, and offered the glass to him. a single ice cube, barely covered with a dark and aromatic single malt scotch* So I hear you've also just arrived in town?

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 3:59:28 PM)
Pretty much. Been in a hotel the past week, may be there a bit longer while I finalize and refurbish a house.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:01:21 PM)
Seems to me like almost anyone who was here has scooted off and ran, or straight up disappeared. Almost everyone seems to be a transplant that I've met so far. *he took a seat, sipping at his own scotch a bit* So what can Fortunae do for Xaos today? *he smiled bit*

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:03:00 PM)
*He smiled* Mostly just a formal hello on my part. Making sure I get in touch with the Order here. Your name came up first. What's the local presence here?

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:07:23 PM)
Heavy, but mostly unorganized. If what I hear is correct, close to a dozen of us have moved into the city. I've been sort of trying to guide and assist in one way or another, and I think somewhere along the lines I somehow became the De Facto boss. *he sighed a bit* Until we can get something official organized and really get everyone together, I'm doing what I can. Currently? My main project is getting a fully functional Chantry up and running, the question remaining is if it'll be a Hermetic Lodge, or a Full on Tradition chantry is yet to be determined, as I'm sure many of the other Traditions won't lik to adhere to the sort of regulations and decorum that I will be requesting are in place there.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:08:55 PM)
(would you have an issue with an Akashaic being here? Or are we just going to mainly be talking OoH business? is sort of seems thats the path its gonna take.)

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:09:17 PM)
(No issue with one showing up.)

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:10:02 PM)
Interesting. I'd been plotting to see about forming an official Chantry in this location also. Perhaps we could work towards a mutual end.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:10:57 PM)
Of course, it also remains possible that we could work towards parallel ends instead... a Lodge and a Multitradition Chantry with mutual assistance arrangements.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:12:25 PM)
I have the Financing, a proper location, and contractor's lined up to break ground all ready. Currently waiting on Bueracracy, and some design plans from our fellow awakened minds. *he swirled the scotch, taking a sip off of it as he thought for a moment* The thought had occured to me actually. And I think with what I've seen, the city has the capacity to sustain two full chantries with mutally benefiting results.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:13:42 PM)
And if we'd like to keep people from accusing the Order of a power-monopoly, I know a fairly well organized Dreamspeaker who would gladly organize a multitradition venue. *He smiled, sipped his scotch*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:15:04 PM)
I have no problm being accused of the truth. *he laughed a bit and smirked* I'm sure you do, does he have a resume?

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:21:48 PM)
,

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:27:56 PM)
*He grinned* I might.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:31:06 PM)
*wearing dark brown capris, a mottled golden tee and a Vietnamese conical hat, with frayed brown geta on her feet, she taps softly rather than making her more normal thwipping sound as she walks, heading for Xander's office, unless the secretary stops her*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:31:41 PM)
Well, the people that would want to work on such a place would of course want some level of democracy and large council leadership. I'm all for assisting whoever may go forward with a plan, and its not my place to say who's in charge or not. But thier are people with plas, and thier are people without plans. Usually the people with plans are the one that get things done, and everyone would rather have in charge to begin with. THough again onw aht you said before about the monoploy, it may look strange indeed if even you were in charge, due to the connection.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:32:04 PM)
(though again, on what you said*)

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:33:02 PM)
*Cas would have a friendly escort throgh the office, it was still during the workday and the place was bustling with men and women in suits talking on the phone and chattereing about business*

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:33:33 PM)
*reaching the doors, she half expects them to swing open..that someone in the lobby would have buzzed her in. She smiles at her escort lopsidedly* Shall I knock, or is that against protocol? *laughter in her eyes*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:36:25 PM)
*the secretary would politely reply* I have been informed that you are one of Mr. Sinclair's close friends, and should be let into his office as soon as you arrive, so go right ahead. *the young girl would smile and open the door to the office and close t behind her. Xander and bryan were sitting at the couches, drinking scotch*

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:37:39 PM)
..Close friends? *a white brow lifting as she steps inside, waving a hello to both gentlemen* I'm honored, Mister Sinclair. *removing her shades to let her bright orange eyes show, and the humor in them practically glitters*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:39:01 PM)
*he smiled at Cas as she stepped in, and pointed over at a chair around the coffee table* Sit down, relax. Miss Brimley, this is Mr. Burns. We were just discussing some plans for possible Chantries.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:42:34 PM)
Thank you, we've met. *smiles to Bryan and drops to sit near them on a sofa, putting her shades on the table* Sounds like I have good timing. *turning to Xander* Have you heard about last night's encounter with the Suit?

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:43:26 PM)
Hey now, no reason to make all suits sound bad. *he smirked and sipped his drink* What happened/

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:47:02 PM)
(Gah. Work got busy again)

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:47:52 PM)
(apparently! we had an akashaic come in, and you barely registered :D)

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:47:54 PM)
*and shockingly, the imp is all business* A group went down to investigate the basement infestation and pattern damage near Lafayette Square last night. Alex tripped some sort of alarm in the course of breaking into it, and within minutes he was hit with something making him violently ill. Cameras, scanners, the place was wired to hell. Everyone pulled an evac, and waiting topside to greet us was one of -them-. Alex pulled some machismo bullshit and threatened to restart the war then and there..and was shut off from his avatar entirely for his trouble. I hauled his ass out of there, tossed him to Chandi to keep him moving, and thanked the gent for his warning before we split.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:48:44 PM)
I've checked on Alex myself, whatever was done isn't permanent, his Avatar is intact. *shaking her head* He is..understandably..concerned.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:49:29 PM)
*Bryan arched an eyebrow* That's a new one.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:50:38 PM)
Where it gets more interesting is in what followed: Dean came to the dojo with Chandi, Alex and I. He's basically putting out a call to unify and take arms. Chandi and Alex jumped on board..I'm not sure who else he's spoken with. *shaking her head*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:51:04 PM)
*he quirked his brow as he finished off the scotch, getting up to get the bottle and a bucket of ice he returned. Quiet the entire time, refilling his glass* I don't know why people would return to that place unequipped, and to what end, besides finding out the terrible fate. But we need ot be focusing on the NOW... *he shook his head and took another sip* He's a Euthanatos isn't it? thats all we need, a loose cannon Omega. Take Arms? are they serious?

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:51:23 PM)
No..Dean is a Verbena.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:51:53 PM)
Alex is Euthanatos. *and the girl who can barely remember names..seems to remember all of it flawlessly*

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:51:54 PM)
*Bryan sighed* Oh great.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:51:59 PM)
(alez is what I meant.)

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:52:23 PM)
(he's the one that blew up, sorry should have been more specific)

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:52:24 PM)
Dean had no immediate plan beyond organization.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:52:47 PM)
Unification, I can get behind.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:53:17 PM)
Well, he needs to choose his words a bit more carefully next time before some people start running off bombing places for no good reason. It'll be difficult o make any sort of concerted attack without any form of camp to launch from.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:53:45 PM)
But without a further goal, it's almost more dangerous than staying striated. Think of it this way..once he's gotten enough of a group to consider themselves Unified.. and they're just sitting around knowing that the Techs are their eventual enemies, what do you think a crew of bored Willworkers will do?

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:54:23 PM)
Get themselves into trouble. *he stated and sat his glass down*

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:54:31 PM)
*nods shortly in agreement*

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:55:39 PM)
...because lord knows that a group of mages won't decide to, say, focus on rebuilding.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:56:05 PM)
People keep meeting in small groups, nothing is being agreed upon or openly talked about. Messages are just getting exchanged and ideas, but no concrete ability to do so. I think we need to try and organize a large meeting.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 4:56:34 PM)
Or at least, representitives of different groups or traditions need to get together as an Ad Hoc council to decide where we're going to start.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:57:11 PM)
Rebuilding wasn't in his platform. *lightly* Dean sees himself as the head of whatever he's planning.. Unfocused as it may be. Spouted off more than a bit of rebellious rhetoric at me when I refused his offer and politely insisted he leave the subject lie.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:57:42 PM)
*she nods again to Xander* I agree. *and the imp smiles again* It's why I'm here.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:58:33 PM)
*to X* You are the most visible, at least, of the Order that I've met here. *and to Bryan* And you are the only Dreamspeaker.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:58:50 PM)
Again..*her smile tips to one side* That -I- have met.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 4:58:58 PM)
*Bryan grinned* Oddly, that's how I like it.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 4:59:27 PM)
Will you represent your Traditions?

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 5:00:06 PM)
I believe that I consider myself as good a candidate to speak for the shamans as any.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:01:56 PM)
I allready function much in that respect. *he nods as he swirls his drink* I know we have many Akashaics, and if they have decided you to be thier representative then I don't see an issue with that. Being that I think Mr. Burns has teh capacity to represent many different traditions, I think this will represent much of our Traditions in the city. *he sat up and set the drink down on the table*

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:03:15 PM)
I will speak with Dean, and the other Verbena I know to produce a fitting candidate, as well as the remaining Traditions. *lifting a brow* I? I doubt any Akashic would agree to instate me as Speaker.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:03:25 PM)
((enstate))

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 5:03:52 PM)
*Bryan smirked* I know of at least one Verbena I can peer pressure into it if Dean declines...

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:05:49 PM)
why not? You've taken the time to come out of your way and start this whole discussion, more so than others have. Even if I have known them longer, I've never known them to be neccesarily business savy, and this operation must run as a business at time in order to be productive.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:06:55 PM)
Because I am Li Hai.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 5:07:05 PM)
Ki-yah.

Bryan Burns (Aug 3, 2010 5:07:11 PM)
SOrry, couldn't help it.\

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:07:22 PM)
Could to explain? *he quirked his brow*

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:07:31 PM)
(could you*)

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 66.55.204.130)

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:08:24 PM)
Within the Akashayana, the other sects are closer to the core beliefs. Kannagara are the scholars, Vrajpani are warriors.. etcetera. Li Hai are those who look without, rather than studying within. We are..the least "Akashic" of the Akashics..if that makes sense.

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:09:24 PM)
Technically..that actually puts me in a better position to conduct relations with outsiders, but according to traditions, it would probably be Chandi who sat for a Council.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:12:57 PM)
Your ability to break down facts and work in the outsider's world /is/ what makes you Ideal. And while Chandi may indeed be best suited for leading bani Akaishai, You don't often see the President going to the U.N. meetings. *he sipped his scotch lightly* Just a thought though. *he smiled a tad*

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:13:23 PM)
*winks* I'll speak with her.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:15:37 PM)
(afk)

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:20:25 PM)
((kk, gives me a moment to sort out PMs.))

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:27:57 PM)
((Alright, I'm back.))

Cas Brimley (Aug 3, 2010 5:32:50 PM)
((And.. I have a chance to sort out the Chandi/Cas council seat right now.. lol, hit me up in a PM when you get back?))
