(nWoD, Mage & Genius): My City Needs Me: (IC)

[ocel]

Upon your arrival to Worth St's titular subway station, the synonymous emblem of the street's initials come into view, engraved on the plaster wall, is a shield barring the letter W capitalized. Recognizing this landmark, as the cue to leave your train compartment with the rest of your fellow passengers towards the nearest platform leading to the surface. On the way there is a schematic transit map poster informing passersby all of their stations & timetables; its line beginning at Howard St & ending at Chambers St, which is a few stops away from the Brooklyn Bridge & the City's Hall. The edge of this map displays the initials MM, signifying the Manhattan Mainline, the chief rain line of the city.

After navigating past crowded streets full of all walks of life for sometime, you make a mental note to check your pocket, or wherever you preferred to store a official request for jury duty for the United States Court for International Trade. Most of what's written is barely legible, excluding the legal authentication of the request, & some directions you scribbled on the inside of the envelop.

When you approach some of the nearby boutiques, the thought of sparing a few dollars for a newer edition of Travelgide's How to Find Your Way in New York, crossed your mind. Whether you chose to pay that thought any mind, or not wouldn't make your participation any more or less punctual than you already are since business is too slow this mid-afternoon to encourage a line of customers to these establishments, like a clogged artery full of cholesterol.

After your done browsing those stores, you resume your journey towards the courthouse; there you see a group of men dressed in formal business attire, descending as your ascending those stairs.

Jasper trotted up the steps and onto the street smartly, hands in his pockets as his eye caught Tulukarug swooping above him, a black silhouette against the grey sky. The raven-spirit kept pace with his friend easily as Jasper threaded his way through the crowded streets. No one paid him much mind, assuming that he was on some errand or other (body language that Jasper had found useful in the past and cultivated for just such an occasion).
Keeping a sharp eye out as always, he made his way up the steps, eying the men descending them keenly as they passed him.

An all black Rolls Royce pulled up the the curb, and came to a stop. An immaculately dressed driver exited the driver's door, folded down a step, opened an umbrella, and finally opened the door for the sole passenger.

The man who stepped out wore the Italian silk with thread-of-gold pinstripe suit as if it were his evening robe so comfortable was he in it. His similarly expensive patent leather shoes and gold Rolex were worn with equal ease. This looked a man used to the best of everything as a matter of course.

"It seems the plebeians require another circus. Come Jeeves, shikata ga nai and all that."

The man's name wasn't Jeeves, but he was compensated far too well to make a point of it. Alexander Augustus Vanderbilt, cadet branch, was a very well connected man and a very well provided for one as well.

So long as he stayed in the families good graces, and avoided too many of these sorts of engagements, he would never have to work a day in his life. Like many scions of wealth it was his hobbies which tended to get him into trouble.

Gladstone steps out of the Taxa he took to the courthouse adjusting his hat slightly while paying the driver, before turning to walk up the stairs.
He is dressed in a slightly old fashioned black suit of good quality complete with a pair of black gloves a top hat and a sleek walking stick.
When he passes the formally clad men he he nods and lifts his hat slightly in greeting through he haven't seen any of them before.
Still that is no reason not to be polite as he sees it.

Gull: It took no more than a cursory glance, let alone an intense appraisal, to distinguish them from their fellow man within the limitations of abductive & inductive reasoning: From your current vantage point, there is only one entryway leading to this courthouse, thus one exit from the building in question; which in turn supports the possibility that they were engaged to a mater of international trade before leaving (as their options are limited to one location). Another pillar to support this hypothesis is founded upon from the tailoring of their clothes, all of which far surpassing the quality of the most meager of incomes; along with the contents of their pockets filled with an assortment of notes written in Pittman shorthand (a style of shorthand that arose in popularity with all manner of accountants & transcribers within the most United of Kingdom & States); some of what's written can be recognized from this distance as today's date, the rest is obscured, but enough can be seen to imply the relevance of this day's date. with these being mentally noted, their next course of action remained uncertain as the alluring vehicle that just parked appeared to peek some of their interest, through whether they intended to approach it or not had yet to be seen, along with what should happen if they do so.

Acknowledging that your summation of these gentlemen is conjecture aside, the circumstances that coincide with your characterization/profile of them might not be coincidental if their next actions are according to your predictions as well; and to an extent... some of them are:
