Hyperborea felt that it was time she called a meeting with the Heralds. She had meet all of them but they hadn't really been introduced to one another. If they were going be a team then a meet and greet would be a good idea plus they could discuss team stuff there.
So She called up each of her team mates and invited them to come to her house, figuring it would be an easy meeting spot. After she had given each of them the address.
She had a spread of some sandwiches and nice desserts prepared and then gave her maids and butler the day off. She didn't want normal civilians around a powered meeting even if she didn't foresee anything going wrong it was still not a risk she wanted to take.
So she waited as Hyperborea on her front step, she figured even if they couldn't find the address they would find her via her transcended aura.Sleet Tempest Snape Here's a start let me know if I need to change anything, here's her house

Delphi had heard from Hyperborea about other members to their group, two others, and the squire of Polaris was happy. To have two more members was good, they would have passed the younger knights qualifications, and would fit in personality wise or at least in their views. She was sure the younger knight would not have brought in a knight, or knights, who would not mesh well personality wise. It wouldn't make for good team work and that they needed - above all other things. This was a war and they would need to work together, to have similar opinions and views on things.
The call from the younger was expected, she knew it would eventually come, and when it did it was met with enthusiasm from Winterlynn. The dark haired girl had spent the better part of that day cooking, planning to bring food with her to Ciel's home. She knew the younger lived alone, and in such a big house, so was taking it upon herself to help by bringing food. If she could get away with it Ciel would have something of an adopted older sister.
After packing up the food, and hadn't made a lot but she had made several things, Winterlynn had packed it all up to go and powering up she left her apartment via the fire escape. This was not something she had ever done, not wanting to risk compromising her place of living. But the added strength helped with carrying the two large bags filled with warm food, and getting to Ciel's in a decent amount of time.
Delphi wasn't expecting the feel the others aura as she drew closer, she was risking being caught right at her own home...but why? Shaking her head, trying to rid herself of the idea of telling the other how dangerous it was, the squire arrived with food in hand and was calling out for the other. "Help me get the food in. It's getting to be a strain on my arms." Squire, and added strength, or not it was still going to wear on her arms. "I did a little cooking." And hoped the other liked the Russian style dishes she had made. She had tried to keep to more palatable dishes, keeping away from things most Americans would find...unappetizing.

Nick received the invitation to come for a meeting and had really thought about just…avoiding it. Now that he was back to living life, the idea of joining a group of other knights…was kind of intimidating. He was still such…an outcast. He was something, that was for sure.
In the end though, he had grabbed a few bags of chips, and some dip and hopped into his car, driving to the address he had been given. This was going to be some sort of party, right? So chips and dip was always needed…if he had decided earlier that he was going he would have cooked something, of course but…
Well.
Decisions were hard sometimes.
The blonde’s purple eyes widened when he pulled up to the house…the very…very large house, and he checked the address once again, making sure he hadn’t…made a wrong turn or something…but then his eyes focused on Hyperborea on the steps, and that other Polaris knight…whatever her name was…she was here too.
Well.
Was he supposed to have been here as Whisler? Wasn’t that bad to power up so close to home? Oh well.
He parked the car and grabbed up his bags of snacks and walked up to the two knights. “Hey…I guess I’m not late for this thing, right? I don’t really like being late…uh…I’m Whisler. Nick. But, other times…I’m…Whisler…”

Taiki wasn't fond of the prospect of being the last to arrive, but at least he wasn't last by hours or anything, and his hope was that he would be able to soothe any hurt feelings with the tea set he had brought with him - and the tea sitting carefully steeped in the pot.
So he arrived as Aokigahara, as requested, with a basket carefully set over one arm and a polite, businesslike smile on his face. The house was huge, but the address had given him a clue to expect something like that; this was a wealthy neighborhood. he had met clients with Phillipe here before, as part of his day job, both the legal and less legal aspects.
Not that anyone here would need to know that. It wasn't that he was mistrustful, simply that this was more of a business arrangement, as far as he was concerned. The details of his personal life would not matter. This was an alliance of Knights, not a knitting circle.
He gave a polite bow to the three gathered.
"I apologize for my tardiness. I am Aokigahara, though any shortening you prefer is perfectly alright; as a civilian I am Taiki Himura."

Hyperborea had helped Delphi with her food when she arrived, she was apriciative of the food. She had enjoyed the Russian's cooking the last few times she had cooked for her so she was sure this would taste good as well.
She smiled when Whisler and Aokigahara arrived, she noted they also brought food which she was interested in trying. She curtsied to them. "I welcome you all to my home. Thank you for coming." She said as she let her power fade away from her replacing the transcended knight of Cosmos with a teenage girl wearing a nice but simple white sundress. She figured she didn't need to remain powered now that everyone was here.
"My civilian name is Ciel Karpusi." She said to introduce herself. "Please follow me." She said as she lead everyone into her sitting room which was well furnished though there was a noticeable crack on the marble floor from the night she went squire which was a night she preferred not to think about. There were lounge chairs set around the table where the food had been placed.
"So I was hoping we could discuss our goals and ways to best handle the war." She said as she sat down.

Smiling the dark haired girl powered down once the food was safely inside. His dark hair falling down her back, not held up as it was when powered up, and lavender eyes smiling down at the white haired knight. She had, unknown to the other, made some of Ciel's favorite foods. She had cooked for her several times now and remembered what the other liked, and made those dishes. She didn't know about the others, she hoped they would approve, but she knew at least one person who would like what she had made.
When Nick and Aokigahara arrived she stood there to greet them both, smiling and with eyes watching them. She had met her fellow Polaris knight once before, she was surprised he had joined them both. She was pleased to see him though.
"You can call me Winterlynn." She added, joining in on the civilian introductions. "It's nice to meet you both." Nodding her head to the two males in their little group.
"Of course, and those discussions are best to have over food - which we thankfully have plenty of." She found discussions such as these were good to have over food or drink, something one could use to ease tension or occupy them self with in order to regroup. It was what she did over dinner with her family when her grandmother started up over her not dating, not being married, and not having at least one child already.
"Ciel, do you want me to get glasses, plates and such for everyone?" She questioned, while already making for where she knew the kitchen to be.

Nick made his way into the house, glancing around as he did so. It was just so…fancy. Almost the uncomfortable type of fancy, like the kind of place that you would be asked to leave if you weren’t dressed properly. Like a fancy hotel.
Only this was a house. Hm…
Suddenly his bags of potato chips seemed…absolutely out of place. He felt absolutely out of place…though Ciel seemed friendly enough. And the other Polaris knight, Winterlynn was her name? She seemed almost as comfortable here as though she lived in a place like this all the time. Quietly he sat on the edge of one of the chairs, placing his chips on the table, and cracking open his jar of store bought French onion dip.
Well. It wasn’t fancy but it was something…and it was tasty. He loved it at least.
Well. Just…well.
They were here to talk about being knights and such. But…he really still wasn’t even sure he was any good at that so…he chose to remain silent. He felt so out of place right now…maybe if he just listened…he’d think of something clever and important to say…but that moment wasn’t right now.

"There are cups for tea in here," Taiki let go of his powered form, which left him in a tailored suit that probably looked some form of obnoxious, but - again, business arrangement. He was going to dress appropriately.
Also, it did a good job of covering his tattoos - explaining to anyone here exactly what they meant sounded like an idiotic and also uncomfortable proposition.
Once they were in the sitting room, he unpacked the tea set and then set the basket under the table, pouring himself a cup and taking a seat in one of the chairs. There certainly was plenty of food - all that was missing was sake, if you asked him, but then again - he glanced briefly at Ciel, clearly so young - perhaps that was for the best.
"I assume we will not be interrupted?" By anyone, he hoped.

Ciel was about to say she could get the glasses and plates but before she had the chance Winterlynn was up and moving towards the kitchen. It was a bit surprising as Ciel was used to having to always show people where things were in her house because it was so big.
She made her way over to nick and whispered to him. "Nick I wanted to check if you are comfortable talking about your time in the Negaverse, I would love to hear the perspective of a former officer. But if you would rather we can speak about it in private later." She said so that no one else would hear, since she didn't want to reveal details of his past that he might not want the group to know. After waiting for his response she took her seat.
"We shouldn't be Taiki, I gave my maids and butler the night off." Ciel explained as she poured herself some tea and ate some of the chips and dip. To her it didn't matter if it was caviar or store bought potato chips she appreciated that all of her teammates had been thoughtful enough to bring something to the meeting.
"So I was thinking that one of the first things we should do is create a symbol for our group." She spoke up once Winterlynn had returned. "I have a magical forge on my wonder, so I thinking we could each put a piece of our wonder together to form an item to represent the Heralds." She put her idea out there hoping they would like it.

When Winterlynn came back balancing plates, bowls, forks and spoons she quickly set them on the table so she didn't dump them. She had stemware in her hands also, held upside down and held between her fingers. It was easier to carry stemware rather than grabbing normal cups, that would require a second trip to and from the kitchen.
"Tea would be lovely Taiki. Green tea?" She asked, assuming of course though she could be wrong. She'd never had it before but she was open to trying new things.
"I had a bit of a busy day with classes. I'm glad I didn't have work as well." She explained while sitting down by Nick. "Help yourself...I hope you don't mind that I made Russian food, it's all I ever learned to cook." Considering her parents were from Russia it was all she grew up eating, and all her mother had taught her to make. It had sort of stuck as she hadn't branched out to learn to make other sorts of food. She had kept away from the odder foods, anything she was sure they wouldn't like.
Hearing Ciel's idea she sat back and nodded her head. "That would be a good idea...I like it." Leaning forward to grab a chip, with some dip, he sat back a bit, one hand under the chip as she bit into it. She didn't want to make a mess of herself or the furniture.
"I can bring something easily. I'll just have to figure out what...my wonder is full of court rooms and law books piled high." And none of them she could read.
"Does anyone have ideas for a symbol? Something they think should be part of it? To represent them perhaps?" Moving to open the containers she had of food and help herself to a pirozhki, sort of like a meat pie. She had tried to keep away from fish dishes, just being mindful of other people sometimes not liking fish and the possible smell. Quote: http://www.expatica.com/ru/about/Top-10-Russian-foods-and-recipes_108678.html Mini-pies, blini, stroganoff, honeycake. To give an idea of what she brought for everyone.

Nick watched the little group, and paused when Ciel came over to him to ask if he would mind sharing information about his time in the Negaverse? What…what kind of a question was that?
He gave the teenager a very funny look and shook his head slightly. “Even if I remembered anything from it, I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing, sorry kid.”
Great. Now he was self conscious on top of his already pretty heavy discomfort here. The blonde wasn’t used to such negative emotions, he was always positive and full of…well…whatever he was full of. Right now he kind of wanted to throw up.
Why had he thought sharing his past was ever a good idea? Why would anyone thing that was a good idea.
As the topic moved to a symbol and bringing things from their wonders he sighed. “I mean…my wonder has rocks. And snow. And water, but I guess I could bring some of that stuff if you want. It’s not a problem.”

"Green tea, yes," Taiki poured Winterlynn a cup and offered it to her, considering the array of food in front of them. Russian wasn't a cuisine he was particularly familiar with, but he was certainly willing to give it a try; no reason to insult one of his potential teammates by disregarding their cooking.
However, talk of a symbol made him frown briefly.
"My Wonder is...a graveyard. A very large, very old graveyard. I can find something, though I cannot promise it will be a cheerful something." He shrugged, briefly. "I am given to understand such grim things are the standard for my planet; Saturn is a less than cheery place." There wasn't exactly anything he could do about that, though; best that they knew before they were alarmed when he showed up with a vial of grave dirt.

"It's ok nick I just wanted to ask." She said softly as she reassured the man before sitting back down, it was fine if he didn't remember nor wanted to talk about his past she had just thought it would be useful information and perspective to have.
"What's more important is the thought put into it when making things at my forge. So any of those things should work. The magic of each of our wonders should combine to make something wonderful." She said cheerfully.
"If you all are ok with it, I'd like to make these meetings a weekly thing, we can report on the goings on we've seen on patrol, and get to know each other better." She suggested.

"I doubt it matters if it's cheerful or not. My wonder is neither cheerful nor anything really - neutral if anything really." Given justice was supposed to be blind and thus neutral. A place of learning as well and knowledge was just that - knowledge. Sipping the tea slowly she smiled, letting out a gentle sigh. "The tea is good." The words directed to Taiki.
"Yes, I've heard that about Saturn. Our planet." She motioned to her fellow Polaris knight. "Is snow and ice - very cold. We could take you there, Hyperborea's been there before. You need layers and really warm weather clothing for it." She said lightly while making up a plate of food for herself.
Lavender eyes than turned to her fellow Polaris knight once more, a light smile gracing her delicate features. "Perhaps we can visit each others wonder?" She questioned softly. "I'd like to see if they are even remotely near to each other...perhaps we can get a feel for the areas surrounding our wonders." She had not ventured beyond her wonder, and she'd been a knight for how long now? She should have done so by now, to see what else might be around her wonder...maybe some town or city or something. it would make sense but she hadn't done so.
Nodding her head, eyes still on Nick, at least for another moment, she settled back in her seat sipping the tea slowly. She had yet to set the cup down, content to keep the warm cup in her slender hands, letting it keep her hands nice and warm. "Yes, we could hold weekly meetings. Perhaps even include doing various things, fun things? Something to bond over perhaps." She suggested glancing to Ciel and then Taiki to get their opinions on the idea.
