WHO || The Knights
WHAT || Failboat returns from the disaster in LA as the Knighthood goes on lockdown
WHERE || The castle, London
WHEN || Directly after this, Fall 2017
HOW || Actionspam

Hasmed's announcement does not brook any rebuttal: all Knights are recalled to the Castle, where they must remain until the Section Heads and Jack Chessing have spoken about the events in Los Angeles that have left the Knighthood without their usual leader.

The entire Los Angeles area is now covered with a dark miasma that has interfered with any signals that might be sent out from phones, etc., leaving the whole world wondering what exactly is happening down there. Final images showed horrendous monsters, a panic of citizens, looting and violence from humans and Shadowkind alike.

Hasmed has warned of extra magical wards on the castle, and anyone arriving will immediately take notice of one very prominent one: above the entire roof of the excessively large building hovers a black and red sigil in the air, a pentagram in a circle surrounded by runes or words in an unknown language, stretching for miles.

[ This is the social log for post-LA lockdown. Failboat must complete the top log before being allowed to tag outside of it. ]

Before Heaven and Hell and all that garbage. [ she glances up. ] No offense, Raphael. And before other divine dimensions even existed, there were my gods.

No offense, Vi, but I don't know that there's anything that predates God. But I know that's a matter of personal belief.

I didn't say they predate big guns upstairs, I said Heaven and Hell. God can still take all the credit for the big bang. [ vi doesn't care. zeus called god by name, vi isn't going to harsh anyone's belief or faith. ]

[ she still doesn't look eager to accept any of that but drops it ] What else did he say to you? About... what happened?

He wasn't there, he doesn't know. Look I am not the best at asking questions in stressful situations, I am so many lost opportunities. I mean, I saw Keijen and Wynn, I didn't need to really ask what happened.

We just... still don't know the extent of Blade's powers. Or how he did what he did.

Zeus did say he knew ways. I could ask him but it might a while to get an answer, he didn't exactly give me his cell and I dunno if Iris is feeling up to delivering messages.

It would be worth learning anything we could.

I'll see what I can do. [ which reminds her how much she can't do, but she shoves that errant thought away. shut up, fall. it's not winter yet. ]

You said he gave you something?

Yeah, he gave me his bolt.

[ or maybe this is all fucking jacob's ladder and she's still in the stadium. gar's uncertainty is contagious. ]

That's... that's Zeus' thunderbolt?!

One in the same. And he politely requested I, er we, use it against Keijen.

That's er... very generous.

He doesn't want Blade around as much as we don't.

I can imagine. I doubt this will be welcome news for any god who isn't evil.

Hopefully. [ but vi shrugs because lmao their track record. not quite successful. ]

Have you... been able to try it out?

Not yet. Haven't had much time, didn't want to blow up the pool...

Right, I -- imagine you'll want a safe place to break it out.

Yeah, exactly. Last thing I want is a repeat of when the castle got attacked.

I'm sure we'll... find a time.

[ vi's scoff of a laugh sounds like MAYBE NOT THO but she doesn't disagree otherwise. they will find a time, it might just be when keijen's right there. ]

We'll try.

Just... do be cautious with it, until then.

Not letting it out of my sight. [ or letting go at all, but u know. not pointing it at things either. ]
