briefing ♔ this is the first day of my last days

[wynn]

Wish - Nine Inch Nails

WHO || Wynn, Wanda, Malina, Caroline, Jordan, Alex  [Closed]
WHAT || Saudi Arabia Mission Briefing
WHERE || Round Table Room
WHEN || May, 2016
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's keycard to open the glass case beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artwork depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already somehow.

This seems to be a development over the last month or so, but he's garnered attention very quickly. Beyond that, all our information is based entirely on speculation and distorted tales over social media. I'm afraid nothing more has been confirmed.

[highlyemotional]

Not to be, like, racist or anything -- [ which never precedes anything that isn't racist so. ] Don't they sort of not like women over there?

[ considering she and malina are.. women... ] They banned that Sex in the City movie.

[bredinthebone]

[... Sigh.]

They don't like immodest, disrespectful women.

[Not that she's saying that the movie was disrespectful but immodest? Definitely falls in that territory.]

Just keep an eye on the cleavage and be polite and you will be fine. Though being polite is true for any of us, really.

[wynn]

[ wynn nods ] I believe that would be wise, yes.

[ambitionist]

[alex is like /glances bc he's like idk why you would ever expect me not to be polite, malina. i am a gentleman. anyway.]

Anything else we oughta know?

[highlyemotional]

[ okay, that makes sense and she trusts malina so, after looking down at her sundress and gently pulling the neck up a little, she just continues listening. ]

[wynn]

That's all we know for certain. I imagine you will unearth more from speaking to the locals.

Sir Harvey will be serving as mission leader.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina nods because that makes sense, given that they're going to the Middle East.]

When do you want us to ship out?

[wynn]

Within the next two days. Prepare anything you may need, and you'll leave from our private airfield then.

[wishuponadjinn]

[Jordan nods, picking up his notebook once more, his brow creasing in concern at the thought that a Djinn would publicize his powers the way this one had without consequences. If anything, his father should have stepped in by now to silence the rogue, perhaps bring him back to the Labyrinth to re-think his behavior.

The fact that Jareth hadn't interceded was what worried him most. Why? What could hold him back? Nothing that Jordan knew.]

[highlyemotional]

[ apparently dismissed, caroline scoots out of her chair and scoots over to malina. ]

So those pretty headscarves, yae or nay?

[bredinthebone]

Yay. I've got some you can borrow.

[She'll glance over her shoulder at Wanda and nod to her as well.]

You too, if you need one.

[divaricate]

I could use one, yeah. [She replies with a nod in return.]

[bredinthebone]

[She nods, before gesturing for Wanda to follow.]

Let's go.

[And she'll give Alex's shoulder a squeeze as she, Caroline and Wanda go.]

See you on the plane.

[ambitionist]

See ya. [alex looks vaguely disgruntled, maybe because he's the always the bridesmaid and never the bride of leadership on missions, maybe because he doesn't like sand and sun and they're going with a place with lots of those things. possibly both. gonna head outside for a smoke tbh.]
