chicago ♔ beside you in time

♬ Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails
WHO || Buffy, Spike, Finnick, Myri, Dawn, Archer, Elena, Kat, Gar, Mark, Isabella, Burt, Des, Rafael, Violet, Francesca, Luthir. [closed]
WHAT || The events directly following the day of Jade's death
WHERE ||Various, Chicago
WHEN || July 5th, 2013 to the funeral
HOW || Actionspam
[ Following a long night after returning from the hospital where Jade finally passed away, there remains a lot to be said and done.
As Burt struggles to deal with the legal side of things, Francesca begins to head that way across the ocean in order to help the Knights do the same, and to help Finnick leave his celebrity life behind somehow. Violet takes the full weight of responsibility for planning the funeral into her hands, and the others continue to try to cope with what's occurred, and slowly put the pieces of information that they have together.
But many of them are still reeling from the revelations of the last few days, or carrying their own emotional burdens. Des continues to keep the truth about Jade's last words to himself as he deals with losing a woman he'd come to love, and faces up to a now uncertain future, thanks to a deal struck with Iscariot. Myri worries deeply about the potential fate of Violet, who's been considering hunting down Keijen Blade on her own, and her concern causes another small rift in her relationship with Finnick. Buffy finally reaches a point of breaking down over her conflicted feelings for Rafael, as Elena assists Archer in completing a giant fireworks bomb for reasons unknown.
This log covers the events leading up to the funeral, which means it will most likely cover a day or two or three. We will use it to make threads for any and all events occurring during this time. ]
finnick, francesca ♔ closed
[ francesca doesn't want finnick to think she forgot about him, with all this trial talk, she just assumed he wanted privacy to be able to openly discuss things. so she'll invite him to come to her room later if he wants to talk more about his specific situation. ]

I ... I just want to thank you. For coming on such short notice.

[ she lets go of his hand, retreating back to her corner of the bed. ] It's only so complicated because of all these recent developments. Do you think you've made any new enemies that we should take into account?

Do you think he could be a useful ally, especially against his brother?
I know that's why you took up with him to begin with, but perhaps we'd be able to fill him in a little more on the situation. If it leads to discrediting his brother, he might be grateful enough to grant us a favor. [ but she says this all tentatively bc she doesn't know the guy and finnick does, so she needs his input on this one ]
no subject
[yeah, the expression he makes shows how tentative he feels about the whole thing, too.] I think he would be on board with any attempt to discredit his brother. But then it would turn into a matter of making sure he kept his mouth shut. That's sort of the problem with him. The main problem with him, in my opinion — he sees everything as an opportunity for a publicity stunt.

I suppose for now we need to try to keep you out of the spotlight - and out of trouble. There has to be something we can leverage against him, we just have to figure out what it is.

If this can be solved with negotiation, instead of some dramatic scheme, all the better. You not only need to be able to escape the clutches of Nova Records, but also continue your life with some sense of normalcy. [ ie no going into hiding indefinitely or faking his death ]

Until then, we make up excuses for your absence and keep you away from the public eye.

You should probably get some sleep. [ it doesn't sound super dismissive, but she does stand up again and makes to finish unpacking ] I'm sure it's been long couple of days.
no subject
It has. I don't think I could ever have enough sleep after all this. [he stands up to give francesca a parting hug before going back to his room.]
