We Carry On - Portishead

WHO || Dean, Rose, Gus, Ashley, Elijah [closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to speak with the Carmilla
WHERE || Marseilles, France
WHEN || Mid April 2016
HOW || Actionspam

Last fall, two Knights were killed in action while investigating a group of rogue vampires in Paris - Sir Dragomir and Sir Rast. While the vampires were brought under control, the mystery of who exactly killed the Knights remains up in the air, and to that end, Wynn has decided to establish contact with an ancient vampire known as Carmilla, leader of a vampiric coven of Elders who dictate the rules by which most nearby covens live in order to maintain their existence without bringing humankind down on their heads.

Also of interest to the assigned Knights is the strange abrupt departure of Sir Helen Magnus, who stayed behind in Paris and sent an unusual letter to her daughter Ashley that refused to explain what she was doing, but left the woman more concerned than ever.

Wynn has made arrangements with the coven, who have reluctantly agreed to meet with the Knights, and so a few days after their briefing, Dean pulls their rented vehicle up to the gates of the creepy manor where the Elders have at least agreed to rendezvous. While the grounds are well kept, there's an air of emptiness to the whole place.

[Faith shrugs. What happened in there might create waves, sure, but ignoring it doesn't make it go away. If something does happen, if they do opt to go against whatever was agreed on, if they get riled up into a frenzy -- maybe Faith wants to be there for it. If they are cool, then it's still gonna be free alcohol and interesting company.]

I could just take a lap. [She's just looking to get Quinn and her away from whatever tension is mounting in this group. Even if she just ducks back in there, the odds of her not being able to handle herself are pretty slim.] I'll be heading back in a few days. If you need anything here after you get back, just have Wynn call me. I'll be available.

[Not that she thinks they will, but if there's a question or if Wynn needs a name - Faith'll be happy to get it from someone. For now, though, she's gonna slide her hand into Quinn's and attempt to just bail on this group thing.]

Have a shrimp cocktail for me, [ gus tells faith before abruptly turning into a hawk that looks exactly like malina's hawk and flying the fuck outta there because he is done with this drama. mellie chuffs but stays with helen bc she is a bear and can't sprout wings. ]

[roams]

I'd say nice meeting you all but, well... [ enough said about that. he watches gus fly off with slightly raised eyebrows, before nodding to faith like let's get the fck outta here yo ]

[Yeah, she's just gonna nod to Gus, watch him flap himself away, then just opt to take Quinn out of this 'sitch.]
