The day has finally arrived: the 2015 Grammy's gather together musical talent at the top of the food chain, which means that NOVA Records will be well represented at this year's ceremony. Unfortunately, this includes performances from Keijen Blade's band, Heatless Passion, and Nadia Reichenov's, Derere, both of whom are working for "Chad Becksworth", aka Draken Crombe, head of the Shadowkind-hating cult, the Church of the Lord's Humanity.  Equipped with some sort of ability to hypnotize large crowds with subliminal messages, Wynn fears what lies beneath Keijen's intended performance, and is sending his Knights to shut down the broadcast, to prevent that message from being spread to millions of viewers worldwide.

Meanwhile, the gang finally has a chance to see Rafael Giovanni again - but what he's been up to in the months since they last saw him, and how his reunion with Buffy will go, remains to be seen.

Several of the Knights have decided that this is their last chance as well to try and break Nadia free from Keijen's influence, now that they've learned the truth about him - that Keijen is in fact Kel'in'hrae, sadistic son of the Nightmare God Malaak'a, likely working to free his father from the prison Sehanine had created for him.  The prison sealed by the relic that the team has been chasing for years, believing it to be an immortality-granting talisman of great power.

The truth, it seems, was worse than they could have imagined.  

One step at a time, however, and stopping the signal is first priority on Failboat's to do list for now.  With an actual plan under their belts this time, maybe this is the turning point they've been waiting for...

[ when finnick takes one headphone at some point, the music is loud enough to be overheard by gar, who turns that way with a little smile. ] I do miss hearing you sing sometimes.

[65]

I miss it sometimes, but not necessarily all the limelight that went with it.

[rationalizes]

Well, hopefully you don't mind at least a taste of that again - I hardly think it will avoidable at the Grammy Awards.

[65]

I know. I'm preparing myself for it.

[rationalizes]

I'm almost surprised they didn't contact you to perform - or present.

[65]

Must've been Burt keeping his word to me, even if he won't so much as talk to us anymore.

[rationalizes]

I suppose he might have his reasons for that too. We did seem to bring a lot of trouble to his doorstep.

[65]

We did. I can't blame him ... but I do miss him, I have to admit.

[rationalizes]

Maybe you'll have a chance to catch up.

[65]

I hope so.

[rationalizes]

I'm sure he misses you too.

[and then finnick wistfully stares into the distance while thinking about burt for a moment or two. /keeps making it gay]

[rationalizes]

[ she just watches him for a second but decides probably not to say anything else and break his moment of gay reverie ]
