Maverick nosed the stone in front of his draconic head and silently transformed, feeling slightly exposed from the people surrounded him. He grasped his stone bearing the rooster and held it close to him, feeling the warmth. The blue-haired male kept to himself and sat down on the floor.
Ryusei held up her stone for Askilar to see. "Year of the Rat," she said softly to him. Askilar giggled and nodded as he ogled the shiny rock.
Shinzo placed his broad paw over his stone of the tiger and looked up at Adrian with a huff of warm breath. "I'm on your lap this time," the wolverine said, resting against the witch comfortably.

“ And your cute doing it.” Adrian whispered as Claudius shot another look over to the male. Wondering what the hell Adrian was up to being so buddy buddy with the changeling as of late. The white haired spirit was becoming a complex thing as of late…

Dresden studied the stone he's been given. He didn't like this idea of tying himself to one group. If they didn't come out on top then the other team wouldn't take kindly to any surviving allies of the losers. He closed his fingers over the stone and sighed.
"I feel my intentions need to be made clear." He said to the room at large, "Whatever ideal this group stands for, I do not expressly follow. I have no moral obligation to the forthcoming events. I am with you, for now. This does not make me a "bad" person. It does not make me a liability. It makes me a businessman who's looking after his business."
He finished his small speech and surveyed the room, waiting to see what the reaction would be from the assembled. What he said was true; the power struggles of government held no interest for him. Whoever was on top, they needed dirty work done and he provided a service. Nothing more, nothing less.

Claudius responded with a noble bow of his head at this.
" Of course. You all are free to leave at any time concerning this organization. I will not be like Delano and hold you here against your will. This will indeed be a dangerous task, and we will have much hate against us as you have seen from Delano's past little fiasco. I will not force others into the proverbial corner society has forced me back into. All I ask is for you all not to betray your friends into Delano's hands. Trust me, I'll know if you betray me." Claudius spoke up, ending in those dark words of warning. He was putting alot of trust into everyone and he hoped he would receive it in return.

Aurindhir let out a brief whine. "You'll have a piece of...hell to go through should you do that," Nouikketsu said softly, green eyes flickering to everyone in the group before fixing on the stone in the woman's hands.
"And as for you, I knew I had seen that aura somewhere. What the hell did you think you were doing at the other meeting?" the shinigami hissed, eyeballing the Gemini.

The Trickster grinned nastily at Nou as she slipped the stone back into her pocket. Being spoken to like that really riled her.
"Pfft, is snake boy really thick enough to ask that question? I was plying my trade you cretin, sowing a little discord and mistrust. I'm surprised one who could sniff out my aura doesn't have the perception to recognise it."
She remained settled comfortably into her chair, waiting to see what effect her frankly insulting words had on the other demon, who by reputation she knew to be easily angered.

Orvasrin took up his stone and examined it. Smirking to himself before holding the stone up to show Ryusei and Askilar.
"Apparently I'm the Monkey." He said simply with a smile to the pair before listening to the words being spoken about betrayal. His own interests were not exactly aligned with the groups morals but as long as Ryusei was involved in this he'd aid them for her sake. On the upside he could exact a bit more revenge for the treatment she had received at the covens hands. Afterwards though...well, he'd just have to see where his whims lay.
"Information gathering, is that all we are going to do? I can see that keeping good face would be important but shouldn't we do something more to actively protect those coming under Delano's attacks. You're little fiasco at the coven led to a dramatic increase in persecution from what I heard, unless you win back the trust of those you seek to protect they won't support you. Breaking out prisoners who are innocent is a good start but not all of the innocents make it to the cells." Ah political warfare, it'd been a good while since he had to engage in it. The rules had changed now of course, times had changed and he wouldn't be able to take the more direct paths that helped him secure his old position of power. Some of the smaller principles should still apply though.

" True also.... if anyone wants to take up a watch duty and throw off the coven from chasing down innocents so be it. As you see we are nothing but a rag tag group for the moment and don't have enough manpower to protect the whole city all of the time. It would be impossible for us to undertake such a task. All I can do, is go with the main plan for now. Throwing off Delano's attacks on others. Unless someone wants to undergo a assassination plan. Though that could only get us labeled terrorist and will not gain us respect by the coven." Claudius explained. He had already thought out many paths so far... but as the man thought this was a game of politics.
" I mean. It doesn't matter if we have their respect or not.... but to declare all out war on them isn't going to help our goal either." He added as he ran his hands through his hair. His migraine returning and the need to shift to his gargoyle form returning.

"I have the common sense to shut the hell up when it comes to my work unlike you who simply and blindly riff through things without a goal," Nouikketsu replied blandly.
His eyes then turned to Claud. "And what if you're already labelled terrorist? I qualify under the category of biochemical warfare," he commented snidely before falling under his emotionless mask of seriousness. "And I will see what I can unfold."

The Trickster bared her teeth at the man across the desk and spoke in barbed hiss.
"Simple and goal-less? You have no idea. Heard of the fall of Rome? Can you even comprehend how much planning and scheming it took to drop europe into a dark age, how many ears I had to whisper in and ideals I had to corrupt. Centuries before I could watch a civilisation crumble around me and feel the satisfaction a job well done."
As her mind filled with memories of that time long ago her expression changed and she grinned at the memory.
"Ooh, terrorists are fun though. So good at breeding fear, hence the name I guess."
---------------------------
Protecting innocents sounded something Koru would enjoy and ignoring the wierd demon woman next to him he replied to Claud.
"I'd be happy to watch over at least a section of the city. I can be quite the gaurd dog when I want to be." He thought of his canine form, one he had not used for the longest time. It'd be nice to bring it out of storage, as it were.

Claudius let his forehead meet the wood of the desk at this.
“ Please, lets refrain from fighting amongst ourselves. “ He sighed a bit quietly before lifting his head once more.
“ I’ll let you lead the protection squad then Koru. If you think you can get anyone to work under you for our goals then you may recruit them into our legion. “ He smiled to him calmly.

Orvasrin gave a nod to Claud's reply, seeing the sense in it.
"Fight the city coven and not the whole coven, else we will be in a little over our heads. If we can keep the witches occupied then we can at least give the night creatures time to organise themselves to better resist the coven. So long as we keep on their good sides then hopefully they shall not object to you returning to your old position, witch or no witch." he interjected again, ignoring the quarrel between the trickster and Nou.

“ Exactly.” Claudius replied to the demon man. Shaking his head a bit. “ I still have my own inner network in the head coven despite my curse. Though I have not spoken to them….. Well…. I know I can count on them.” Claud smirked to the group. Keeping his little idea secret for the time being when he felt someone enter his blood barrier of his own design.
“ Seems someone weak has fallen within the barriers reach….” He announced outloud. He slowly gathered himself up at this. Looking about the table.
“ This meeting is adjurn, if you have any more questions. Come with me and I shall answer any questions.” He told the group as he headed towards the main hall.
--------
Adrian meanwhile was getting a queasy feeling in his gut. He held onto Shinzo all the while. Trying to ignore the bickering as his legs started to quiver a bit.
“ I think I need to go somewhere…” The man told him as if he had to use the bathroom really really bad at that moment. Though well…. It was just his master calling him… XD

Nouikketsu snorted derogatively and rested his hand on his pommel, black boots making ominous clicking noises as he strode across the hardwood. His trenchcoat vanished after him as he made his way downstairs.
Ryusei took Askilar from her shoulders and held him as he contented himself with playing with her hair. Her orange eyes glanced up at Orvasrin. "Master, are you ready to depart?" she asked.
Shinzo lifted up his ursuline head. "Have to take a shit?" he questioned, tilting his head. The wolverine turned around and clung to Adrian in the koala-hold again, his blunt claws digging into the man's clothing.

Koru stood from his seat and wandered out of the room after Claud. He nodded to the others in the room as he left, curious to see who had broken the barrier.
------------------------
The Trickster rose and adjusted her jacket carefully before nodding at the others and dropping through the floor and out of view.
It was high time she paid another visit to Delano and his delightful circle of friends.
------------------------
Aerynn watched Claud and Nou walk off and turned to look at Dresden. The problems and issues they were involved with were piling up fast and he had no idea what they were going to do about it.
"Where to now then, boss man?"

Orvasrin gave a cursory glance over the disappating crowd before turning down to Ryusei. His eyes lighting up a little at Askilar's playing.
"Yes I think we are done here for now. Unless you have other business to attend to, shall we make our way home for the eve?" He was curious to know if the rites she had left to perform had all gone without trouble but that could wait until they got back. Fr the time being

Adrian shook his head at this. Blue eyes unsure.
“ No…” He responded slightly embarrassed. Shinzo was -BLUNT-…..dman…. Anyway! He slowly stood up and sighed. Coat still moving about his shape as he went.
“ I think…. My master…” He started then stopped. Sensing someone not far off from where the coven was located.
“ I think Brie may be near by…. Mind coming with me on a errand?” He smiled instead. Not finishing his sentence as he headed out of the room. Clutching the changeling like a child in his arms.

Shinzo's eyes brightened and he nodded. "Ja, why not," he said, nestling in Adrian's arms sleepily as the Light Guardian made his way out.
[[Where should they post next?
