mission ♔ chicago

[shootfirst]

WHO || Gar, Kat, Mark, Dumage, Martha, Myri, Buffy, Sven, Spike [closed]
WHAT || Settling into the mission HQ
WHERE || Knights' hotel/various locales in the city(?), Chicago, IL
WHEN || Friday Feb 24th through Sunday Feb 26th
HOW || Actionspam

Arrival in the city involved picking up any weapons or equipment that they had sent to meet them here and moving into their oh-so-fancy hotel rooms on the top floor. It consists of four adjoining rooms with a shared living room space and kitchenette. Each bedroom has two separate beds and roomies are:

Kat & Gar
Buffy & Myri
Martha & Dumage
Spike & Sven

Mark's agreed to sleep on the couch, since there aren't any spaces with five separate adjoining rooms available.

Gar's new job will begin on Monday, which gives the Knights the weekend to explore the city if they like, do research on the Hoffman Institute, scope out the Institute's campus, set up surveillance plans, or otherwise unwind before the real work starts. Feel free to start threads for anything, and use subject lines to denote which day it occurs on! Also don't be afraid to jack multiple people into threads, as now is a great time for some TEAM BUILDING 8) ... Try not to kill each other, in other words.]

Saturday - ota

[It's another fun day in the life of William the Bloody Flammable. Not that Spike actually knows that particular name of his, I just wanted to work the joke in. ANYWAY, he's restless and bored and too wound up to really try to sleep, so he wanders around the hotel room which... isn't big enough to really explore much so that gets boring pretty quickly. Finally, he ends up turning on the telly and watching Dawson's Creek.

As intriguing as he finds the love triangle between Pacey, Joey, and Dawson, he'll pretty much jump for a chance to hang out with anyone who decides to come back during the day. Seriously, he hates this part of being undead so much.]

[witchwoman]

[Myri's likely not to go far unless someone drags her out. Both she and Amaranth emerge from their room at some point in the afternoon to find her favorite person ever :| She briefly thinks about turning on her heels and avoiding him, but decides that they may very well need to work together, so she can't just write him off so easily.

Still unsure about him in general, Myri approaches and sits down on a nearby chair, hands folded in her lap. Her gaze is drawn to the television which is much less chaotic than the last time she saw one.]

[bigbad]

[Spike doesn't particularly dislike her. He doesn't think much of her one way or the other, only noticing that she is very quiet. Still, now that she's not being quiet directly in front of the telly, he doesn't mind as much. He glances over at her as she sits down and raises a hand in greeting.]

[witchwoman]

[There's a few moments of awkward silence that are accompanied by the teenage drama on the screen. Myri eventually turns to Spike during a quieter moment on the screen.]

Is this all you do, then?

[bigbad]

[Spike looks over at her, offended.] Not hardly. Only when I'm trying to keep from being bored out of my mind.

[witchwoman]

Why not go out and see the city?

[Clueless girl is so clueless to your plight, Spike.]

[bigbad]

[Oh my god, someone in the universe didn't pick up on his secret. He's amazed. But he has kind of given up on keeping it. Between Buffy's reaction to being lied to and the fact that... he'd sort of shouted it on the plane, he just isn't trying that hard anymore. At least not with his mission mates, who would probably figure it out through him being on fire every time he goes out in the sun.]

Can't. Sun's out. I'm allergic.

[witchwoman]

[Buffy has dropped the V word, but Myri has no notion of what that is, so until someone fills her in, this witchwoman is going to assume you're just a strange man who's obsessed with the moving pictures in the box.]

I've never heard of such a thing. How terrible.

[bigbad]

You're telling me. But soon as the sun goes down, I'm hitting the streets.

[witchwoman]

Hmm. [She muses while turning her gaze to the window. She hasn't quite decided if she's going to venture out there on her own yet.]

Shouldn't be too much longer.

[bigbad]

Good. I've decided I really don't like this Dawson wanker. [He glances over at the window too, a little angrily. Not at Myri, just at life.] It's bollocks, is what it is. There's got to be a way I can move around during the day.

[witchwoman]

Perhaps Kat or another of the mages can spell you? I'm sure that having you able to move in the daylight would be something that would benefit the Knights.

[bigbad]

I don't know. Not sure I'm comfortable being magicked up like that. Sounds a bit risky. [He shrugs.] The last spell someone tried to do on me nearly burned my face off. [Did you know that to heal unholy creatures you actually have to cast Harm? Because Spike sure does. Now.]

[nosdacaraid]

[Mark comes in from whatever he's been out doing all morning and pauses behind the sofa, looking remarkably enthused]

... I love this show.

[bigbad]

Do you? [Spike sits up, turning towards him a bit. Okay, he thinks Mark is... pretty dumb, but hey, someone to talk about his show to who... knows what a television is. Sorry, Myri. It's true.] First time I've seen it, but I like it so far.

[nosdacaraid]

I used to watch repeats late at night at the castle all the time.

Oh hey this tag exists

[bigbad]

Ever seen Passions?

[nosdacaraid]

... The soap opera?

[bigbad]

[Spike gives him a level stare. Yes, the soap opera. Duh.]

No, the fast food chain.

[nosdacaraid]

I've caught it a few times.

[bigbad]

I've seen a bit more of it than this. [Because it's the only thing from home he remembers...] Good show.

[nosdacaraid]

Pretty sure I caught a lot of it out of order which... was really confusing.

[bigbad]

Yeah, I imagine it would be. [Spike doesn't know how he caught it, only that he's pretty clear on the order of events and everything. Since he remembers nothing else besides it.]

[nosdacaraid]

Didn't that little Timmy fall down a well at one point?

[bigbad]

Yeah, I think so. Always getting into some sort of trouble, he is. [Lalalala I'M BULLSHITTING ALL OF THIS sob why isn't Passions on Netflix]
