The Meeting – Incipimus Iterum

Jennifer is watching the strange older gentleman open a small crate. It is later in the afternoon and they are all seated in the parlor area of the large house. Because of its immense size and plain features, she was certain it was an old office building of a sort.

With this in mind, she had been reluctant to approach the old building. However, she was going to follow through. She had met Kendra and Chris on the front lawn. They had been introducing themselves as she had joined them.

The meeting – Incipimus Iterum

Now, as she is watching the room, she is thinking back. She had found the old sea worn chest on the beach. Furthermore it contained the old ornate bottle. Inside that was an old message. She is feeling some marvel at all of this. Especially, after hearing how the others had found their boxes.

The room itself is some sort of formal dining area. It is large with high ceilings and ornate mill work on all the casements. Their group is seated in a row of chairs, facing a lectern. On the lectern there is a large old book. Jennifer feels pulled to the old book. It is difficult for her to put her finger on it but it is definite and strong.

Invited guests

Jonah feels more relaxed as they enter the large dining area. He had met Allison on the front lawn just after he had arrived. Although they had just met, he felt very intrigued. Not only with Allison but also the entire strangeness of this situation. It has the feel of more than chance. Something akin to the predetermined. Or destiny.

With this in mind he had come to the door in the company of Allison. The older gentleman answering the door was polite and solemn. Furthermore, he appeared to be expecting them both. Jonah had been caught off guard as he was addressed by his name. Stranger still, the enigmatic fellow had introduced himself as the custodian. This was getting stranger by the moment.

Additionally there had been another couple on their way to the door. This was more than just a small gathering, and starting to feel bigger than Jonah had first imagined. They had entered the large mysterious building and followed the Custodian to this room. Additionally, there was an old book on a lectern, at the front of the room.

Incipimus Iterum

Jonah couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of curiosity, as the older gentleman retrieved an old wooden crate, and set it on a table beside the lectern. As he unseals the crate, the rest of the group settles into the awaiting chairs in the center of the room.

The introductions had been brief. Each person had taken the time to say hello. However everyone’s attention was now on the Custodian as he opened the lid of the wooden crate. Then he turns and gazes at each of them before beginning to speak.
