CHAPTER FOUR ♔ does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
WHO || Failboat, Rafael, Isabella, Nadia [Closed]
WHAT || After an exciting Grammy night, the Knights meet up with Nadia to hear what she has to say
WHERE || Staples Center, LA --> Warehouse
WHEN || Feb 8th, 2015 [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam
[ The Knights' mission to stop the signal and prevent Draken's cult from spreading whatever subliminal message was lurking beneath Keijen Blade's performance was a success. It didn't come without its bumps in the road, however: Alexander Anderson showed up, and the Knights ran afoul of the Mind Master. Buffy nearly died fighting Anderson, but in the end, he was defeated, beheaded, and hopefully put to death forever. Finnick, though, found himself thrust into a mental illusion that convinced him he might still be in the Hunger Games, and left him uncertain about whether any of his life here was real.
Another surprise came in the form of an announcement by Nadia Reichenov, an artist working with Crombe and company, that she was changing her band name and taking things in a 'new direction'. This direction was perhaps revealed when after her performance, she approached the Knights in Rafael's dressing room - and handed them the necklace that connects her to the Nightmare God Malaak'a, saying she was willing to tell them everything. ]
failboat ❧
no subject
She's not going to say much for now, trying to move quickly, but finding herself glancing back over her shoulder, as if she expects to see Finnick running to catch up with them. She knows that he likely won't simply snap out of this, that the Mind Master has twisted his thoughts beyond recognition, but that doesn't stop her from whispering a quiet prayer to the Stargods that he'll come back to her.]

raf & buffy ❧ behind the warehouse
no subject
The only thing holding her together is adrenaline and company. The Grammys, Anderson, all of this news about Jade and Nadia: it's a lot for one person to take in. As the door clatters—the harsh tin clang of metal on metal—it all starts to sink in, and she squeezes her hands into fists at her sides to keep them from trembling.
She's holding up pretty well for a killer who stuffed someone's body in a magic vault tonight. It'd be a shame to lose it now.
A part of her wants to get angry, yell, let all the hurt and disbelief out, except she has no right to it. More than that, if she lets it out, she's not sure it'll stop, and now's not the time. (It doesn't matter, of course, that there's never 'the time.') If he's doing this now, no matter what Myri believes, Buffy has to hope it's relevant. An explanation for the gun he pointed at Nadia, maybe.
All her anger and hurt gets swallowed up by concern, and she follows him to the railing, only a few beats behind, to rest a hand on his shoulder blade. She doesn't lean against it beside him. ]
What's going on with you?
[ Something's wrong. It's been wrong since the moment they crossed paths with Nadia. She's not an idiot. Whether that's tied up in whatever he'd been haunted by when he sent her those emails remains to be seen. ]

Be right there!

welcome to finnick’s bathroom, where there’s an empty coffee cup on the floor and half a bowl of sugar cubes is now gone. as soon as he unlocks the door, he goes back to sitting on the floor with his back against the edge of the tub and not making eye contact with either of them.]

elena ; hallway
The balcony is taken, and she doesn't want anyone to have to come looking for her (because they will) so outside is too far away. She settles for just stepping out into the hallway, giving zero fucks that she probably looks like some stubborn teenager that had a fight with their parents and decided to leave her hotel room in a huff.
She sits down on the floor a couple feet from the door, trying to ignore any noise going on inside, but she rolled a truly atrocious fort save (7) and ends up...falling asleep propped up against the wall after only a couple of minutes.
Good job, girl.]

the next morning ♔ burt
no subject
She throws the comforter back and slips out of bed. Her ruffled dress is peppered with bullet holes and bloodstains—room service will have to deal with the transfer stains left behind on the bed later—but she tries to smooth it vaguely as she starts towards the door, pulling her strap back up onto her shoulder. She unlocks the deadbolt and pulls the door open, one hand planted on the door frame while she leans against the door itself.
She flinches briefly away from the hallway light, but pushes through it to fix him with a sour look. ] We didn't order room service. Don't you have a phone?

I think so.
[It's just an automatic response, honestly. Was she supposed to help set anything up for this??? She's not really sure. But she stands because it's Nadia and Nadia is likely the only thing that will pull her from this depressive stupor right now.]
Are you sure you have to go?

spike } ota
He goes to the kitchen and takes a helping of Alainn's cooking, then splashes some blood in a mug to top it off. He adds some spices and microwaves the concoction up, then goes to sit on the couch. He does still have some recovering to do from the night's exertions, but sleep isn't the answer. What it comes down to, as it so often does, is blood.]

Rapping her knuckles on the door, she lets out a tight breath. So much for stealthy. ]
[ Later, after someone's let her in, she sets about showering, changing, and getting packed up pretty quickly. As far as she knows, there's no reason to linger. Their business in L.A. is over. ]

Alainn ♔ Ota
She stays out on the balcony until it's nearly time to depart, her belongings never really having made it out of her suitcase so all she really has to do is grab it and go.
The atmosphere in the rooms behind her was oppressive, understandably. She still feels like she's on the outside of all of this, on the edges of the group for this mission that had had years to get to know one another. Even her former best friends had become like strangers to her, and though they were finally on a mission together again, it wasn't the same. She wanted to be a part of that team, wanted to be helpful and contribute and be there for everyone because she truly, genuinely cared for them all. But there were currents to each of them, and she wasn't sure which way the wind was blowing, not sure which way pointed to shore. That's why she is eternally grateful that Rose is here on this mission, so happy to have someone she just meshed with so easily, like they had been friends for years already.
So hopefully someone will come out and tell her when it's time to go because otherwise she's doing the elf-y thing and like communing with nature or something like that.]
no subject
Spike doesn't come outside because lol sun, but he does linger in the shadows just beyond the door and squint out at her.]
So I'm off on a dangerous and potentially fatal mission. Thought I ought to say goodbye.
