Tiwa

Tiwa is discussing where she and Matt can take over the kitchen and the rats are moving out of the way. Her plan is fairly simple, everything they'll have will be baked in the end as that gives more time for cleaning afterwards.

Everything isn't prepped but a lot of things are as that means more time for the good parts of cooking. When she's sure that everything's set then she goes to the door to see if she can spot him.

Today Tiwa is looking grown up today and feeling it, she's wearing a long sleeved blouse to cover her tattoo and a swirly flower skirt.

She had to go in front of a class and all her professors have been stressing, you have to look like the adult. Its not that much fun, but the lesson went well and the teachers there seemed to like it.

Now she's stretched out on a couch with her shoes off and a mystery.

Tiwa doesn't remember the last time she was quite this nervous, they're already a something so just going on a date shouldn't make her this jumpy. Bar has provided her with a mug of milo that's meant to be calming, which is kind of working.

She dressed up a little bit but not over the top at least she hopes not, so she has on a blue, twirly skirt with some drawing of gold feathers on it and a simple top that matches.

Make up is odd so she just put on some lip stuff and painted her nails gold, now if he would just arrive, she'd stop feeling so ready to fly off.

Its one of those days when Tiwa's ever slightly more bird than girl so she's headed up a tree with a grin to him.

You can almost see her tail feathers as she enjoys moving quickly.

The key that Bar gave them was twined with leaves and Tiwa followed it to a room with windows that fill almost a full wall.

There's not too much in the space, a simple day bed sits between the windows to catch all the light and a few chairs and one table are about.

Its a place of light and she smiles at him as they enter, "Could almost be in a cloud."

Tiwa looks nervous and excited as she pulls James through the door to her Uncle Manu's which looks out over the water. The house itself isn't huge but it has clearly been constructed and worked on by someone who is good at making things, there are lots of wonderful small touches of carvings and paintings,

"No one else is here but him at the moment. I convinced Mum that she didn't really want to see me getting tattooed and she agreed. So no questions to deal with for now."

Its raining in Wellington, sideways rain as Tiwa takes Ben through the door and grins,

"Come on, should be able to catch the start of their practice."

The shortcut through the Dreaming leaves them close to many warehouses and the water in Kaiwharawhara but only one has a palpable feel of magic and about ten young men simply hanging about.

As everyone starts to appear, a few of the men pull out various objects to focus as the magic grows in the air as the others who are a bit too pale just grin.

Teams: 1-Alex, Aiden, the Baron, Hamlet
2-Carl, Ben, James, Peron

Starting things off again and I'm just going to do the James' thread later and make it work.

The day is beautiful, Wellington is on the edge of Fall but today there is still Summer in the air and many crowds around Te Papa. Members of the Court are swirling in and through the crowds, helping everyone see a bit more and gathering what light they can when a university student taps the Count's shoulder,

"I've a message for you."

"Oh, thank you from who?"

"You'll see, here."

A piece of paper sealed with wax is pressed into his hand and then the student is gone in the crowds as he moves to sit and crack the seal, two feathers fall out and he grows pale with the reading.

In a moment, he's up and to the PA system at the information desk saying in a clear and almost shaking voice,

"The wind has shifted."

All heads turn to listen but only a few understand and within moments the Fae are gathered in a hidden room as the note is passed from hand to hand,

"We must find her now before they do anything to her. Comb the city and divine in all ways we can."

Liam is pacing and pacing as he listens, his instinct crying to be gone as he shares a glance with Tane and Meg, they fade to a back wall,

"We can move faster. He'll understand."

He looks up to the Count and gives a quick nod which is seen and then Liam and the others step through one door and he opens another and freezes,

"I.i think I found her Bar."

"I don't see it."

"I do, I'll get us more help." then Liam is through the door.
