There are plenty of missions that return to the castle a success - most of them, even. The defeated air of the solemn group that returns from their diplomatic mission to Andres Isle to hear the demands of dictator Dimitris Sarandis makes it quite clear that this wasn't one of those.

Starting with Sarandis' actual demands - for all Knights to withdraw from Andres under penalty of death, or for Wynn to offer his own head in return for Thomas' safe return - and ending with the unexpected, disturbing confession from Kat that she intended to stay behind on the island because she had "fallen in love with" the dictator, the events of the island made it very clear that Sarandis was cannily playing his hand to get the Knights where he wanted them.

Fred Jr. shoves open the doors with his unnatural strength, stalking in ahead of the group into the lobby. Whoever's on desk duty isn't going to have to roll a high wisdom check to see that these people are pissed... and distraught... and a myriad of other emotions on the bad end of the scale.

*I am changing the date of the briefing log and Andres log/live session to have taken place in September, to avoid us being in backdated hell forever, and to allow for a September squiring ceremony before apps are closed. Carry on... in the future!

[Felicity wasn't looking for Stiles as of yet, though she was about to. She was going to finish her bowl of ridiculously unhealthy, sugar-loaded breakfast choice and find Stiles who she's been a little worried about regardless.

She worried about all of the kids, honestly. This shouldn't be the thing they have to come into, but in a lot of ways, it is what it is.

She looks up when she sees him come in, and when she sees how tired he is, she needs to have him sit for a bit.]


Hey.

[A beat.]

Want some Lucky Charms?

[Stiles catches sight of Felicity just as she starts to speak and tries to smile, but wow he is not awake yet.]

Sure. Who would say no to marshmallows for breakfast? Crazy people, that's who.

[She reaches behind her for the box, before passing it over to him.]

In my opinion, they are a required part of every well balanced breakfast.

I think I vaguely remember the food pyramid having a soft, mallow center.

[He gives her a half smile.]

Before you ask- yes, I'm going. Unless you already talked to Vi because she apparently knew that before I did.

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-14 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses for a moment.]

Vi and I were mostly dealing with the me of it all.

[But hey, that's good to know.]

How're you doing with that?

[She won't bother to ask him if he's sure, because if Vi knew before he did, then he probably has given this a lot of thought already. So she'll focus on how he feels instead.]

[personal profile] killingtodeath 2014-09-15 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like we're all abandoning her. It sucks. [He flops into a seat.]

I'm not really handling it. I just know I have to go.

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-16 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If things were different, she'd be right in here too. She's doing the right thing for her. So if we're going to go, she's trusting us to get it done right.

[Which is the way Felicity's looking at it. She knows that Vi doesn't want her to go, but this is their people and a giant asshole who should not be leading a small country. This is the job she signed up for.]

Are you scared? Because it's actually a very good thing if you are. People who think they're invincible usually run into the most trouble.

[There's no judgement in it. There's a part of her that's pretty terrified herself, which is why she's not going to judge him or tell him he shouldn't go if he is.]

[Stiles rubs his face with both hands, letting out a long exhale.]

I'm fucking terrified. I'm not backing out or anything, but the closer we get to this council thing? The more I feel like I'm going to puke.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-21 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually puking might make you feel better.

[She's just saying. But also kind of bad for you, so don't do it unless you absolutely have to.]

But scared is good. It's just trying to figure out the balance between scared and too scared that's the tricky part.

[personal profile] killingtodeath 2014-09-22 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I've hit too scared. I still want to go. Kat's my friend. I can't just leave her out there.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-23 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Okay. Then be careful, and be smart. Be a hero, but don't be a dumb one.

[Meaning: don't be a dumb kid and get yourself killed.]

I'll do my best. Promise. But I need you to do the same, alright? I don't care if you've done this longer than me. I'm going to be really pissed if I have to run poker night on my own.
allmydreams: (she wants a car)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-25 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives him a look that says "please," because she is not planning on doing anything stupid and getting herself killed. But, like Stiles, she has to go all the same.]

You don't have to worry about me. Wynn will probably have me off doing something stealthy, and I am very good at not being seen.

[She's made a living at it, after all.]

[personal profile] killingtodeath 2014-09-26 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Good. Just stay on your A game then.

[He won't worry too much. He'll be focused on his part of things. It makes him feel better to know she's so confident though.]
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-09-28 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Confidence is her job. She's never snuck into something this high-risk before, but she knows her own skills. She can rely on her own experience for this. She can understand if it seems like he can't.]

I will.

[And then, because they both need to hear it.]

It'll be okay, Stiles.

Yeah. [He doesn't sound completely convinced (bluff 13), so he tries again.] Yeah, no- I know that. [s-so much better... (bluff 14......) His smile is weak. He's trying here.]

Poker night when we get back?
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-10-08 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a bit in agreement, giving him a small smile.]

Absolutely. We'll start plotting our strategy later.

[personal profile] killingtodeath 2014-10-12 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan. And uh- be careful.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-10-12 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Felicity nods a bit, before moving closer to give him a hug. There should be ... lots and lots of hugs as far as she's concerned, and he seems like he might need one.]

You too. I prefer you all in one piece.
