♬ The Truth - Nonpoint

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.  ]

[ at some point, jack emerges from his room, and so does gar, to go sit with myri. jack corners spike in the meantime, however. ] Might I have a word?

[bigbad]

You can have several. [Spike stands up, draining his mug of blood and leaving it on the table.] This about Nadia, then?

[Seems unlikely to be any other topic right that couldn't wait til morning.]

[chessing]

Wynn seems to think it would be wise to have at least one Knight accompanying her in the next few months, as she tours. In case there's an open attempt on her life.

[bigbad]

[Uh huh. That's about what Spike expected.]

And it makes the most sense for it to be me. [That's only like 30% his penis talking. He also... does think it makes sense for it to be him. Nadia's music's a little more hardcore than the rest of them listen to, and as far as beating off open attempts on peoples' lives go... well, Spike is a pretty solid bet. So long as Anderson doesn't come after her, and well, he's dead. They should be fine.]

All right. I'll go.

[chessing]

It will likely be some time before we can definitively make another move against Crombe and his church. We'll be certain to keep you informed, and Wynn would like weekly reports from you in regards to anything you notice that's... suspicious.

[bigbad]

I wouldn't have to go full-on-Dumage, right? I could still talk to people? [He's not sure if that's a deal breaker or not. He's hoping he won't have to find out.]

[dragonsclaw]

Not at all. You'd be a bodyguard of sorts - not working undercover.

[bigbad]

Well... good. I'm bollocks at working undercover. Bodyguarding, though, I can do.

[dragonsclaw]

That's why we're certain you're the man for the job.

[bigbad]

Brilliant. When do I start?

[dragonsclaw]

Now. She's leaving tonight - and there's no reason that you shouldn't go with her now, if you're going at all.

[bigbad]

I'll need time to say goodbye to everyone first. If I'll be away that long... I need to tell 'em.

[dragonsclaw]

You've a few hours then.
