WHO || Failboat and more... [closed]
WHAT || The Knights move on a warehouse in NYC to try and save Jeanne Gar & Rafael Giovanni
WHERE || New York City, New York
WHEN || Summer 2016
HOW || Actionspam or prose

The plan has been set, and the Knights are on their way to New York City once again - this time with the desperate hope fueling them that they can save two of their own, instead of simply endangering them further.  Jack and Buffy have greater stakes in this than anyone - as it is Jack's fiancee, Gar and the love of Buffy's life, Rafael, who are currently in the grip of the vile villains that have plagued them for the last four years.  Knowing fully well the risks that are inherent in potentially facing down the dangerous Mind Master, who shattered Myri's life in an instant by breaking Finnick Odair's psyche, their plan is to divide and search the warehouse as quickly as possible - knowing that every second counts, when an alerted team of bad guys could take the lives of their captured friends.  

It's an unparalleled gamble, but may be their only opportunity before Rafael and/or Gar are moved from the facility.  To that end, they converge at a nearby hotel...

[Tine, he'll take a bit more before he pushes her hand away again, struggling to stand. He's still looking more bruise than man, but he can move.]

I need more than you can give me and survive. And we need to get out of here. I'll be fine, love. [He gives her a soft look, smiling, then wincing as it aggravates one of his many injuries.] You saved me.

[slay]

[ It takes Buffy that long to get back to them, hobbling, and she leans against some of the fallen rubble to say. ]

Warm fuzzies can take place outside the rubble-in-progress, huh? [ She goes to help Rose haul Spike to his feet by lifting his arm on the other side. ] Come on.

[rationalizes]

[ myri lands inside a billowing dust cloud, and has to make a fort save dc 15 to not descend into a coughing fit. the heat surrounds her as flames lick at the wreckage. it's gonna be a dc 30 spot to see through the smoke and dust to where her friends are... ]

[witchwoman]

[A fort save of 28 keeps myri from giving in to the urge to choke on smoke and dust. She squints and sweeps her gaze across the scene until she catches sight of them (spot 35).]

Buffy! [She calls out as she hurries that way.] This way! I can get us all out of here!

[littledhampir]

[Remember that one time when Rose died because of explosions that happened after the big one? Yeah Rose does too and she offers Spike a skeptical look, determined to decide for herself if he's had enough to be safe for now.]

Uh huh... [So dry. While scrutinizing his injuries, Spike's last words cause her gaze to lift. A look that's almost unreadable stirring in her eyes as the concept of saving him or even, anyone sits strangely with her.

In typical Rose fashion however;] Lot of good that'll do if you go and kill yourself five seconds later.

[But there's a slight twitch of her lips, the beginning of what might have been a smile had Buffy not arrived then.

Shaking her head as if to dismiss the help.] You're not doing much better than him.

[Rose reaches into her pocket and pulls out the vials of cure moderate wounds potions to offer Buffy and then shifts to throw Spike over her shoulder help Spike up herself (strength 21), her own wounds visibly minor compared to theirs.]

Myri? [Looking back towards the rubble of the building they'd escaped from at the sound of her calling to them.]

[bigbad]

Glad you're okay too, love. [Spike rolls his eyes slightly, but lets the both girls help prop him up, trying to hold as much of his own weight as possible so that he doesn't worry Myri too much.]

Come on, then. Let's get out of here.

[slay]

[ And Buffy is hobbling out with Spike and Rose towards Myri, pulling that vial open with her teeth and glugging it down all the while (+13 hp). Luckily, even without the potion, she looks to be healing at her usual steady, supernatural rate. ]

[witchwoman]

[Can she meet them in the middle and cast her spell before anything else terrible happens?? If so, that's what she does. They can talk later once they're not in immediate danger.]

[rationalizes]

[ yes she can! which means they'll all be together again in only a moment. gar surges forward towards them in concern ]

Is everyone alright?

[littledhampir]

They both got hit pretty hard. [Rose still supporting the bloody mess that is Spike.

She didn't exactly get out of things unscathed but she's healing quickly enough on her own and almost did more damage to herself healing Spike than she took from the exploding building.]

But we're all alive... [Brow furrowing because. LOL. Spike.] You know what I mean.

[bigbad]

No more or less alive than usual. [Spike gives a pained smile, leaning a little harder on Rose.] Looking forward to not moving for a week once we're out of here.

[slay]

[ yeah, Buffy had not healed enough for that hit, so she's in rough shape. Really rough. But not so rough that Spike's comment and Gar's question don't make her bristle somewhat and straighten to try and write off the wounds, one hand squeezed around broken ribs. ]

We made it. [ She looks to Myri and nods her gratitude, making it evident who she attributes that to. ]

[shootfirst]

How about we don't push our luck while you guys look half dead? [ kat nods in the direction AWAY from the building ] C'mon. We'll get you guys healed up and get out of here before they send more goons out or something.

[ she affixes one hand around gar's waist and turns her around to start leading her away. and back off to the hotel/plane they go... ]
