WHO || Carol, Malina, Alex, Kali [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a ~mysterious crash~
WHERE || Guadalajara, Mexico
WHEN || April 19th [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

With most of the team staunchly convinced that about to go check out Area 51, they head off to Guadalajara, Mexico, to investigate local rumors of a crash site outside the city. One of the best things about this little trip is that even in February, it's in the seventies, so there's definitely a vacation air to arriving in the bustling city. They'll need to rent a car and head out in the direction of the supposed crash in the flat countryside. It's a fourteen hour flight so get comfortable.

No, he's just... [ she licks her lips, trying to think of the right word. ] He has a presence.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina nods in agreement because that is an accurate assessment, but she will throw in:]

Also, he's very tall.

[Because, well, he is. Short people problems.]

[starprince]

Got a lot of parts for a M-ship here, do you? Earth's come a long way since I left. [ he said. sarcastically. he scrubs one hand over his face, leaning on the hull. ]

Well. Guess if I'm gonna be stuck anywhere, at least it's home.

[ambitionist]

[not impressed with peter's sassiness, he just quips back flatly] That's the spirit.

[ dryly to Kali and Malina, ] Great. [ SURELY THIS CANNOT GO WRONG. Maybe she's made the worst decision of her life. She does seem to be debating it now. ]

[airforceful]

[It's... a little weird to hear Peter Quill of all people calling Earth home.]

Yeah. Speaking of that. You should come back with us. There are some people who'll want to talk to you.

[Like Wynn, but more importantly, like Rocket and Drax.]

[bredinthebone]

[Malina smiles softly as she leans back against her seat.]

He's good people. He just wants to make sure you're the right person for the job.

[starprince]

Back... where exactly?

[ambitionist]

A secret organization with a castle as homebase that can give you pretty much everything you could imagine. It's like — nevermind, you probably won't get that reference. But when you've got nowhere else to go, it's as good a place as any.

[/speaks from experience :') ]

[airforceful]

We're called the Knights of the Silver Dragon. We help people. [They could help Peter, or he could join in on the helping. Carol's guessing he'll lean towards joining them, but this is a Peter she doesn't know. It's hard to say.]

[hacker]

So like a job interview. Just how big is this organization, that the boss has time to do one-on-ones with everyone?

[bredinthebone]

Oh, we're pretty extensive. We've got small offices around the world, and the knighthood has been in existence for ... centuries at least. But everyone who wants to get in, has to go through Wynn.

[She's not even going to call out her Dr. Seuss moment there.]

[starprince]

Do you help people find engine parts?

[ambitionist]

We could. We're like an iPhone or some shit. If you can think of something, there's probably a knight for that.

[airforceful]

Actually... [Carol smirks.] I know just the one. If anyone on this planet can help you with your engine, it's him. Just don't be too put off by his appearance.

[starprince]

Don't forget I just waltzed in here from space. It takes a lot to surprise me.

But fine. You've got a deal. Take me to your leader.

[ambitionist]

Workin' on it.

[hacker]

Centuries. [ She whistles. ] So who's this Wynn guy? I mean, is it family-run, or did you elect him?

[felidity]

[ conspiratorially: ] I think he might be Jesus.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina opens her mouth because she was going to respond to that, but Kali beat her too it. She glances to the blond for a moment, before tipping her head to the side.]

I was just going to say I'm pretty sure he founded the institution, but yeah, we could go with Kali's vote too.

[hacker]

Great. My job interview involves seeking the ethical approval of Jesus.

[ She purses her lips and nods. ]

Now I know how the Pope feels.

[felidity]

Well, he likes me and I'm an ethical catastrophe. There's laws against me. He's very nice and very stern and... [ her head tips as she tries to find the words to explain wynn. ] He makes me feel like I'm more than what I used to be. And that I can keep being more and he'll be there to help me.

[hacker]

[ A warm smile settles over Skye's lips, reassuring in a way that she hasn't really earned being towards Kali yet. She nods. ]

Doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that.

[bredinthebone]

There are a lot of us who wouldn't be considered "knight" material on first glance. He has a way of ... looking past all of that.

[hacker]

Big on second chances, huh? [ A beat, she accepts the implications of that being Malina's choice of assurance. EXCUSE ME SKYE IS VERY MUCH KNIGHT MATERIAL. ] —Hey!
