[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.
You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

the fact that it's probably her first genuine moment of rest in months is what keeps buffy quiet as she approaches. she notices finnick seated in the chair beside her bed like a watchdog, alert but stoic, and a sad smile twists on her lips. ]
How's she doing?

She looks like a ghost. [ myri's cheeks, despite the healing, remain sunken in. they've got her hooked up to an iv nutrient bag to try and account for the obvious deficiencies that came out of her imprisonment, but it hasn't done much for her. she raises a hand to reach it out, ready to rest on the bed on myri's calf, but then she stops and recoils. ] I keep thinking about how I should have seen it, you know? When we got back, I thought the best thing for her would be if we all kept our distance. Being on that mission had caused her so much pain, I didn't want to bring that back with us. Now I can't stop thinking about how if I hadn't held back, if I'd just talked to her, maybe--[ she stops, shaking her head. ]

she squashes that down because this is myri. this is myri, and she's hurt, and she needs nothing more than she needs friends to support her right now. but the doppelganger's words burn heavily in the back of her mind: you were supposed to try. maybe it had been an effort to split them apart, but it hadn't been all lies. she had been isolated, and cut-off, and running away from the team. so she's here, trying, now that it really counts. ]
When I caught up with her--it--at Elena's ceremony, she said something to me. That I've been standing against everyone, picking this mission over my family. [ her brow furrows. ] It wanted me to doubt. To get me to back down. I should have known then: Myri would never tell me to walk away. She would never want any of us to give up. Family protects each other.
[ with that decided, she turns to look at finnick. ] This didn't happen because of you. We were all ... Everyone was having a hard time. None of us stopped to think what blowback Myri was getting from all of that tension.
no subject
She — well, not-her — had been trying to get me to stay at the castle, instead of shipping out with the rest of our team the next time we leave. She always worries so much, I thought it was just concern, but — I wonder if it was some kind of strategy, on its part. To single us out.
no subject
He knew the best and worst parts of us, and he used that against us. He would have lead you all, one by one to the island, and to do that, you needed to feel disconnected. [Her hand squeezes Finnick's weakly.] But we're stronger than that. I see that now. Together, they can't stop us. That's why they needed to wait to take us alone.
no subject
a sad fragment of a smile twists on buffy's lips as she considers myri's words. she's right, of course—she's always right. warmth glows behind her eyes, the kind of warmth that believes what she's saying with all her heart. they'd survived this. they would save thomas together, and they would win. for all the fear that she had allowed to shake her faith, having myri back has leveled it, regardless of the circumstances. she's not going to be railing on des for not taking this seriously enough anytime soon. ]
It is a pretty good sign that they had to try to split us apart to feel like they had a chance. [ which is a positive spin to put on a bleak and painful event, admittedly, but it's what she's holding onto. ] And we're together now. We'll save Thomas; I promise you we will. [ tears burn at the edges of her eyes, because she wants so badly to follow that up with an apology because she had failed to save myri. ]

[Doing this together, being united with her family is so important to her right now. She understands why bringing her would be dangerous, but it would be dangerous for all of them and leaving anyone behind would only make them weaker.]
no subject
buffy tilts her head, clearly hedging at the edge of a decision. ]
The last thing I want is for us to be split apart, but which is worse: losing Violet for a few months, or bringing her along and watching her die? That's not an exaggeration, it's a real possibility—worse, we might have to be the ones to do it. When we chased Keijen to Dominion, he used this mind control spell on Isabella. He took what she was already feeling and amplified it to turn her against Rafael and me. If Keijen can do that without blinking, what do you think his father can do to someone he's already got an in with?

That island isn't safe for any of us. There's no way to prepare for what he'll have in store for each of us. I've seen it, and we'll need her. I know we will.

[ that's selfish; it's wrong. violet's best chance is here at the castle. ]

Other than my own squire's promotion, was there anything else that I missed? [Her smile is weak and a little forced. But a change of topic could be nice.]
no subject
[ The shift, sidelong glance she shoots toward Finnick makes it clear that this is a thing she hasn't really broadcast at all yet. If any time is the time to stop keeping things from each other that make it obvious just how bad things are, it's Myri and Spike stumbling in half-dead with Jack. She looks back at Myri. ]
In the club in New York, Sehanine showed up. She called me some kind of ... champion against darkness, supposed to be driving demons out. Anyway, it made Des decide to come with me when I go out at night.[ Everyone has to know by now that 'going out for air' is Buffyspeak for 'demon hunting.' That's not the shocker. ]
When he tried to take a field trip the first time, we ran into something called a paopu. Or a ... baboon. One of those. Anyway, it's this demon ... assassin. [ She cringes. ] It didn't mess with Des. It knew he wasn't the one it wanted. It skipped straight past the human Weeble Wobble and nearly killed me. I think it was one of Chad's.

[ She sits back in her chair, shaking her head and leveling her hands on the arms of it. ]
There's no telling how much information they got from this castle and passed along before you guys came back. Strengths, weaknesses, secrets. I think our best chance right now is to assume that they know everything we do and hope we're wrong.

And maybe it's best that you two were keeping your distance from me before now. At least we know you weren't sharing much with Kyp that way.
