chicago ♔ but close my eyes for a while | and force from the world a patient smile
WHO || Spike, Francesca, Archer, Myri, Finnick, Elena, Buffy, Des, Gar, Mark, Kat, Rafael, Isabella, Jaka, Burt, Violet, Luthir, Val'drin, ??[Closed]
WHAT || The Knights prepare for the trial of Rafael Giovanni and face a few revelations along the way
WHERE || Various locations, Chicago
WHEN || July 17th - November 21st [Back AND Forward dated]
HOW || Actionspam, don't sweat tag order!!
The trial of Rafael Giovanni looms on the horizon, as summer gives way to fall, the chill in the air creating a definite atmosphere of foreboding as the date grows closer. It's not merely Rafael's freedom on the line after all - but also Des', thanks to the deal he struck with Iscariot. While Francesca and Val'drin work to uncover the secret of the mysterious hourglass artifact, lawyer Jaka Teken'Duis uses his ... unique legal powers to work towards a "Temporary Insanity" case for Rafael. The Knights, unhappy about the potential ramifications of such a plea, continue to seek any evidence they can to show Rafael was actually innocent, and place conspiracy charges back on Chad Becksworth and his ilk for what transpired. Not everything they learn, however, is what they were hoping to find...
Others wage more personal battles, as the coming autumn signals the encroaching winter, and Luthir and Violet's time draws shorter to find a way to stop her nightmares, lest they kill her. Elena plays a dangerous game, working to uncover more of her nature by training her doppelganger powers - with the enemy.
This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in Chicago, immediately following the three mission logs and continuing for four months. This will be the Knight's last time in Chicago before the trial: after which they plan to return to the castle to fully Knight Violet and Dawn and decide where to head next.
Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever. There will be a few group scenes, which I'll alert everyone to on Plurk. They may not all be posted immediately, so keep an eye on this post for new threads as time goes by. Please wait to post social threads here until we reach a certain point in the top group thread. I will alert you all when you are free to post.

♬ black is the colour - the corrs
Black is the colour of my true loves hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
I wish that day would soon come
When he and I can be as one
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep
For satisfied I never sleep
I write him letters just a few short lines
And I suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the colour of my true loves hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love I love I love the ground whereon he stands ]

the second song is so upbeat and peppy sounding, so practically cute that it's difficult to reconcile it with any of the jade des ever knew. the sticky note shoved in the front of the jewel case from burt to laura contains a few of his own thoughts on the contents, and it's clear that he thought the pop angle she was working just wasn't right for her voice, or her image.
for all that, however, there's a poignancy to the actual sentiment behind the lyrics that probably no one could appreciate more than des, as the domestic scenes she paints with her words aren't a far cry from the playing house that the two of them did for months.
despite the light nature of the song's tone, there's a very real longing embedded in her delivery, and it's quite clear that for all the excitement and drama and thrills of the life she lived, this was what she had actually wanted, and what had seemed so far out of reach for her at the time of its recording. ]

You were chasing the wrong guys, Sunshine. [He runs a hand along the top of the dash above the radio. It's stupid, but it's the closest he can get to reaching out to her.]

the next song has the opposite sound - it's a simple piano melody (probably provided by you-know-who), and the song itself is a painful lamentation about exactly jade's brand of 'wrong guys', actually... ]

That gets him weirded out enough to pick up the CD insert, read the note from Burt, and get a better look at the case.]
Sometimes I wonder if Fluffy and I actually loved the same woman. [He has a hard time grasping the style, same as Burt, even if the lyrics and the emotions fit. And that's what makes his chest ache. It's still her.]
no subject
there's only one song left, a breathy, emotional number that manages to showcase that sensual side of her voice, while also being a bit of a lullaby.
at the end, her voice drops to a whisper, but she's speaking, not a clue to help him with this case in any way, but something that seems meant for him all the same.
reassurance. ]

He drops the jewel case back into the passenger seat and leans against his seat, closing his eyes so he can listen better. If he were even remotely a hopeless romantic, he could pretend she was there with him, singing in his ear, but he's not. He's lost too much to even entertain the notion of her being anything more than dead.
But he does feel better. A little bit.]
