WHAT || Failboat does the Grammy's, tries to stop Keijen Blade's performance from reaching the masses, and aspires to save Nadia
WHERE || Staples Center, Los Angeles
WHEN || Feb 8th, 2015
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

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...

[Archer puts his hands on his hips and laughs at that, like it's a ridiculous notion.]

Elena, how are they going to come up here, if they have to fasten their seatbelts?

[doubletake]

Your seatbelt isn't fastened, is it?

[It's not a magical sign, Archer. Not to mention since when does anyone here ever follow the rules, lbr.]

Not to mention no one is flying the plane now.

[But I guess she....does, because she just rolled a 22 pilot check as she slides into the captain's seat. DOES SHE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING HERSELF?]

[isisagent]

Oh so everything else in this world is magical - but that fasten seatbelt sign isn't. That's just stupid.

[He starts to go get the pilot, that lingers at the cabin door.]

You know, you make an extremely sexy pilot.

[doubletake]

The only thing magical is magic. Not LED lights.

[She peeks at him over her shoulder.]

I know. Looks like that hat should belong to me.

[isisagent]

[Archer pops the hat on her. She earned it. He should have tried hard.]

Alright, well... I should probably go grab that poor pilot. But not so the plane doesn't crash. So we can get back to the Archer Bar.

[doubletake]

Pretty sure your Archer Bar would be a moot point if the plane crashed.

[Just saying.]

Go get him. I'll keep this thing in the air until he gets back.

[isisagent]

[He just nods - the lady has a point - and he saunters out of the cockpit. It's not long before he's berating the pilot;]

Wow, guy - I said "we'd cover for you so you could take a quick break" - not "punch out and watch the entire friggin twilight series." ...Which is what I assume you pilots watch these days.

Look - Just go fly the damn plane. Jeez!

[doubletake]

[It's funny, because with her roll she could have just turned autopilot back on, but no she'd rather prove that she can fly the fucking plane. :D

She hears the pilot come back, lets him take control before she slips out of the seat and heads back into the main section of the plane.]
