london ♔ shadowkind convention



WHO || Jeanne Gar, Kat Samcelot, Mark Sandazhard, Francesca, Alainn O'Rourke, Alaric Saltzman, The Doctor, Brantley River, Maxwell Briggard, Kate Beckett, Helen Magnus, Stiles Stilinski, Adam Weiss, Sylar, Will Graham, Abigail Hobbs, Lila Zacharov, Lydia Martin, Draken Crombe, Lis'sa Trinall, Belle Desrosiers, Aurelius Greyfire
WHAT || London hosts an academic convention regarding the phenomena of the Veil and Shadowkind

WHERE || London, England
WHEN || June 7th, 2014, evening.
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.


It's been over a hundred years since mankind first came to a global realization that magic and monsters were real and walked among us. Yet in all that time, much about the process of how or why remains a mystery, and a subject of great speculation among scholars the world over.

This is why London hosts an annual convention to discuss these complicated matters, both from a scientific and social perspective. There's something for everyone with even a passing interest in understanding the Veil, magic, or the various races that share this world. Sir Jeanne Gar, a young member of the Dragon's Hoard, has been asked to present some of her research at said convention, and has invited many of the Knights to come fill the seats, and explore the other lectures.

The hall is large and brimming with scholars both young and ancient, as well as those of a variety of unusual Shadowkind species.  It makes for great people watching from the food court, at least.

[Helen was far too focused on getting a front row seat to even see that Gar was all flustered out in the hall. But she's front and center and ready to support her friend!!]

[Alaric happens to be sitting near Helen, as one of her dates I guess since nerds travel in packs and they probably set this whole thing up so their schedules matched up like a bunch of high school students.

And since he's got a front row seat, he's quick to jump up and help play pick up when Gar drops her speech all over the floor.]


Relax. [Said as he hands over a pile of those scattered index cards.] You'll be great.

[Max had been sitting behind Alaric, playing games on his NDS with earphone on. So, he didn't notice the whole thing, but he did stop playing right after Gar started her lecture. He is here now and the most decent thing to do is at least pretend to listen, right?]

Seriously? There's physics in arcane magic? I thought that stuff is purely brain power. Is she just making things up?

[He leans forward, whispering to Alaric. They might not have a great start but Max doesn't hate him that much yet and he is bored, so he'll bother the closest person he knows in his vicinity.]

[What luck... Alaric may not hate Max but he definitely remembers that little tantrum the other man threw in the Dragon's Hoard laboratory. He shifts uncomfortably when Max starts talking, so that he can turn just enough to glance back at him and whisper--]

Pay attention. [You might learn something would be the unspoken statement here.]

[Helen reaches over to pat Ric's knee fondly like thx boo. For helping Gar and shushing that guy. This is why she keeps you around. Helen turns her attention back to Gar with a reassuring smile. You got this gurl.]
beatemup: (Okaayyy....)

[This guy is no fun. Max leans back, slouching on his seat, trying to pay attention. And he does listen, the topic of her lecture is somewhat interesting. Controling magic via technologies, that would be cool. Imagine a phone app that can freely shoots fireball by pressing a button. Just like a magic wand in the shape of a smartphone.]

[Helen follows along, knowing a great deal of this information, but thrilled to hear Jeanne speak about something she's clearly so passionate about. If she could chinhands in her seat, she would.]

[Leaning over towards Ric to whisper:]

Imagine the sorts of things we could see if we managed it.

[Helen would go on so many field trips hahaha.]

[Kate is just sitting there, listening rapt attention, because she was TOTALLY HERE THE ENTIRE TIME the narration just ... sucks. But please do go on, Gar, this is all really interesting.]

[What? They can make comments but he can't? Yeah, he doesn't take that well. He leans forward again and repeats the words he received from Ric. And to add the annoyance, he even mimics the way Ric said it.] Pay attention.

[ don't worry, gus has got this. he literally walks in in the middle of gar's speech with starbucks because he's a shitty human being. and he didn't get shit for any of y'all, except maybe a cruller for lis'sa, lucky girl. but he sits down near the group of knights like it ain't not thang, giving gar a thumbs up like go on little boo. you're doing great kiddo.

and to maxwell... ]
If you're not saying anything useful don't say anything. [ listen to your mentor, ok? he's grading you as we speak. (no, he's not.) ]

[Gross. Helen didn't want your coffee anyway. In fact, she gives him a nose wrinkle because she can smell it. She does mouth "thank you" to him at the way he's instructed his squire to quiet down.]
beatemup: (I'm gonna kill you!)

[personal profile] beatemup 2014-06-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Max is about to lose some shit too. Why are y'all ganging up on him? You guys are like Mean Girls of the Knight. He glares at the recently arrived guy.] Yeah, like everything that comes out of your mouth is useful. [He retreats back to his seat and sit like a boss as if taunting the whole group. Also, once again. When all the attention goes toward him, he points his finger toward Gar and mimics Ric again.] Pay attention.

[Oh my god children. Helen turns and gives Max her sternest mom look. No really. Intimidate nat 20.]
beatemup: (You're dead!)

[personal profile] beatemup 2014-06-25 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He retreats back, scared at her (will 18). He is scared enough that it makes him wants to leave, not without making a commotion though. (wis 0)] What!? She can talk, I can't! [He points at Helen, but he tries to avoid eye contact at all cost.] Shadowkind-friendly my ass! You guys are ganging up on me just because I have orc in my blood. Fine! I'll leave. I hope you and your human-only circle enjoy kissing each other's stinky asses. [And he hastily leaves. He has lost all of his chance getting promoted, hasn't he?]

[w o w. did that really just happen? it's probably a good thing that max decided to vacate the premises because alaric was about to roll a will save to tolerate this guy any longer. he's looking back as max makes his exit like good riddance, asshole. gus control your squire ok.

Well, that was exciting. [ /spontaneously retires. ] What were you saying about a power source, Jeanne? [ he's just going to direct all the attention back to the tiny future dragon's claw like nothing happened. ]
