party ♔ ding-dong the dick's dead

[recruited]

WHO || Everyone. Everyone come if you're not on a mission.
WHAT || A party to celebrate Dimitris Sarandis sleeping with the fishes.
WHERE || Knights HQ. The fancy ballroom.
WHEN || Mid-March 2016.
HOW || Prose or actionspam welcome.

Cordelia and Steve have gotten together to plan a rather fun party to celebrate Sarandis being taken down. Abbie even managed to grab them a rather awesome band to entertain the guests and everything else was hand picked and decided on by Cordy and Steve. It's not as fancy as a squiring after party, but it's just as fun. The ballroom has been "dressed down" a little to match the relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy yourselves!

One way or another, most people seem to. I wonder if that's a trick of the Veil and some weird sense of fate, or if it's Wynn, finding people who know each other and recruiting them.

[autorevive]

But what if it was you, coming in for a late night shag?

[supertardiness]

In my case, I think it's more a situation of Felicity knowing what to look for. I tend to be pretty obvious when I'm using my powers to help people.

[recruited]

Yeah, but then I'd be lacking answers. I figure if I just deal with it now then maybe this place would be able to give me some answers. I don't really enjoy wondering if I'm gonna outlive my friends.

[hacker]

If you want the boring and obvious solution, sure.

[slay]

Around here, you're more likely to make friends who'll outlive you by a long shot, but I get your point. I hope you find what you're looking for; once you come through the Veil, answers can be hard to get. I still don't know much about what I am or where I came from, and I got the 101 from people who did remember.

[recruited]

I know I got a few blank spots myself. Things that I really haven't tried to scratch at. [ He nods. ] What's wrong with the information they gave you? Was it rough to hear or just jumbled?

[slay]

Jumbled. Incomplete. I know I'm the Slayer; I know what I do. I just don't know where I came from.

[supertardiness]

[He smirks.]

Destiny is a weird thing. And it can be a lot to live up to.

[recruited]

So, you're missing the important history of what you are then huh? [ That's how he's seeing it. ] And you haven't found a single soul here on this side of the veil that knows what a Slayer might be?

[hacker]

You don't think it's a little comforting? Something bigger than you already knows the path you're going to be on?

[slay]

A few who might, or should, but don't seem to have much more than the surface. That we're called to fight demons. That we pass our powers on to the next generation when we inevitably, violently die doing it. Nothing about where that power comes from.

[recruited]

Do they know of anyone in this world that might have a few more answers for you? As in not directly connected to the Knights. Someone you might have to travel to in order to speak with.

[slay]

Well, that's how I found Robin—he knew some. His mother was one of us. But other than that ... I don't know.

[supertardiness]

[He pauses for a moment, before shaking his head.]

I've been there. Not like ... destiny exactly, but I met a guy from my future once? And ... his entire vendetta against me was based on the person that I became in his future. I don't want to live up to the pressure of decisions I haven't even made yet. I'd rather things happen in their own time.

[recruited]

Where'd you find Robin?

[hacker]

Whoa, future? Seriously?

[slay]

Chicago. A hunter's bar. [ And then, as if she had forgotten herself, she straightens up and presses her fingertips to her brow. ] I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm telling you all of this; this is wildly not your problem.

[felidity]

I would turn on the light first!

[autorevive]

What if you were trying to be all sexual and mysterious?!

[recruited]

If you want I could go with you sometime. If you ever wanna dig deeper.

[ Steve raises his brows. ]

We're a team here. Your problems are my problems.

[supertardiness]

[He nods slowly before shaking his head.]

This guy wanted to stop me from being a hero, so he figured that if he couldn't beat me after I became one, he could go back in time and wipe me out before I even get started. And when that plan didn't work, he manipulated me into being the Flash - basically engineering me to become what he wanted.

[He shakes his head.]

People shouldn't try to shoehorn you into something and call it destiny. Otherwise it basically leaves you questioning if it was really yours to begin with.

[hacker]

Sorry, I'm stuck back on the part where you just breezed right over the fact that time travel is real and it works and you've seen it.

[supertardiness]

[Barry just hesitates before raising one hand to rub at the back of his neck.]

Yeah, I've also kind of ... done it.

[Oops? Did he forget to mention that?]

[hacker]

Wh— How?!
