Also, I just had a thought on how to start the RP; Fern's character can see auras, so perhaps she's contacting people who show signs of Emergence -- there could be a swirl of colors or a particular intensity that reveals them to the sight thing she managed.

In any case, the Water of Life, the cafe Brian bartends/manages (as an assistant to his brother, the owner) at, makes for a pretty good place to meet (I can always say it has an unused attic/storage area or something), or we figure out some other sort of 'secret room' scenario, such as a residence or whatever.

Edit: Lemme know what you guys think about that plan so we can get this RP to roll.
