♬ 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.  ]

[He swallows and turns towards her, looking to meet her eyes. He hates seeing her in pain, hates even more how powerless he is to make it better.] It's important you have people with you too, you know. [Spike knows he's not the only one who can support her. Everyone loves Myri. Everyone's going to flock to her side. But Spike still feels like he should be there for her.]

[witchwoman]

[She looks around at the group, knowing that each of them care for her deeply, but also knowing just how much they each have going on in their own lives. The last thing she wants is to see that interrupted just to have someone sit and hold her hand, to take turns with her when they have a bit of time.]

I'll be fine, Spike. What you're doing is much more important.

[Spike watches her, trying to see if she's lying to make him feel better about leaving her (sense motive 21). He evidently decides that no, she's not, as he wraps an arm around her and pulls her into a tight hug.]

I want to hear from you every bloody day. And if I'm still gone when the baby comes you let me know and I'll get on a plane. If you need me at all let me know. All right?

[witchwoman]

I'll make sure you know. I promise. [She sags into his hug, letting his strength be most of what's keeping her up right now.]

Thank you.

[bigbad]

[He presses his lips to her hair, just holding her for a moment. Then he smiles, pulls back, and holds out his hand.] Give me your phone. I'll put skype on it for you.

[witchwoman]

[She fishes the phone out of her pocket and hands it to him, leaving him to download the app and get it sorted.]
