slovechnia ♔ hey little sister what have you done

♬ White Wedding - Billy Idol

WHO || Failboat, Dimitris Sarandis, Amanda Moulet, invited wedding guests, and more [closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to Slovechnia to interrupt Dimitris' wedding to Dumage's sister
WHERE || Flight from London to Slovechnia; Slovechnia
WHEN || Sometime in February
HOW || Actionspam or prose

The morning after, the Knights board a plane at their private airfield, and begin the couple hour flight to the country of Slovechnia.  Wynn has laid out a plan for them as such, leaving Sir Gar in charge of seeing it executed:  they are to send in a few Knights to infiltrate the wedding, while others steal an ambulance from a local hospital.  Using magic to make Sarandis think he's having a heart attack during the ceremony, they will intercept the outgoing call to the paramedics, and pose as them to take him out of there and straight to a private airfield to meet with Wynn.  They're all aware, however, of just how smoothly their plans tend to go where these villains are involved - especially if the Mind Master shows up.  

Either way, it promises to be an interesting day...

Oh! [ that seems to put her at ease a bit ] Well, first of all, I haven't gotten to really welcome you to the team yet. I'm sorry for that. We're all a bit-- [ she waves one hand, glancing around at her somber, distracted teammates ] Wynn's apprised me of your basic skill set, at least, but I'd be interested to hear where you feel your talents lie.

[allmydreams]

[She waves a hand as though to say "don't even worry about it" with regards to a proper team welcome. This is a huge mission, and she's sure she's had other things on her mind.]

They're mostly of the sneaky variety. Picking locks, cracking safes, getting around security systems. I used to steal things for a living, so those tend to be my go-tos.

[rationalizes]

[ her eyebrows lift a tiny bit ] Oh. You were a ... thief?

[allmydreams]

Yep. Only really from people who could afford it, but I got into it when I was young and ... was really good at it. Oddly, though, the knights are a good fit for me. Their priorities tend to line up with my priorities pretty well.

[As in "protect Shadowkind" and "help people."]

[rationalizes]

Is that how you wound up joining the Knights, then?

[allmydreams]

Yeah. Sir Cabot and I ran into each other when he was on a mission. He convinced me to give it a shot, and ... I think it worked out really well.

[rationalizes]

Val'drin? He actually had a hand in a bit of this mission as well. His knowledge about magical artifacts was certainly valuable to us.

[allmydreams]

[She nods with a smile.]

He was my mentor. I'm just glad he helped me find a way that I could still use my skills and help people at the same time.

[rationalizes]

Well, we could certainly use someone with some subtlety on our team.

[allmydreams]

[She is pleased that she will have a skill that will be useful, to be honest. She was worried that her approach to things wasn't going to gel all that well with the rest of the group.]

It is my specialty. My tendencies are bullshit first, punch later - mostly because I'm not that great at punching.

[rationalizes]

You should mesh well with Dumage, at least. Sometimes it's just a matter of preventing the others from breaking out into punching first.

[allmydreams]

That is always the trickier part. But I'm sure one way or another we'll be able to figure it out.

[TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK. We hope. We really, really hope. But she and Astrid at least seem to be on the same page, so that's a start.]

[rationalizes]

We've, er, made a bit of progress in that over the years. [ her face admits 'not much tho' ]

[allmydreams]

[She's amused for a moment, before shrugging.]

Progress is progress. Better than doing the same thing and expecting different results.

[rationalizes]

We've probably done our fair share of that as well.

[allmydreams]

[She smirks, before teasing.]

Well, I think some of that is unavoidable. You need to really make sure it isn't going to work.

[rationalizes]

[ she smirks a bit at that ] Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade my team for the world. Everyone brings their own something important to our little equation.

[allmydreams]

[She shakes her head.]

I wouldn't expect you to. I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

[rationalizes]

Did you have any questions about any of us? Or what we can do?

[allmydreams]

I know Vi, Myri, Astrid, Steve and Elena, and I was on a mission once with Rose, but beyond that, I can't really say I know much about any of you. But I take it from what you were saying before, you have your fair share of Hide members?

[At least those comfortable with making with the punching, anyway.]

[rationalizes]

Buffy, Spike, and Archer are all Hide members, yes. Spike's actually, well, a vampire, whereas Buffy... that's a bit complicated, and I'm not really certain how much it's my right to say, but she possesses a great deal of strength as a chosen of the gods. And Archer-- [ must say-- nice things-- about archer----- ] Er, I believe he was trained as an intelligence operative, but he has his um, own very unique style.

[allmydreams]

Hey, I can work with unique.

[She laughs a bit.]

Vi has always held him in high regard, and I trust her judgement.

[rationalizes]

[ LMAO gar... crit fails her attempt to school her features in response to that. sorry archer. ] Er. I... certainly respect Vi's opinion.

[allmydreams]

[Amusement clouds her features in response before she nods.]

I also heard that he went to town on those raptors during the castle attack.

[rationalizes]

That's true. He helped save both of the children. I'm certain his heart's in the right place.
