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.

[In a perfect world, that's the end of it. He says it, and it makes sense, and it's the easiest partial truth to believe. But Finnick hasn't been the most stable or reliable person in her life. Not by any fault of his own, but the cracks that rippled through their relationship did leave behind an amount of hesitation in Myri that isn't easy to shake off in the course of a few days. So when he explains why she feels differently, she can't help this tug at the back of her mind that tells her that there's more to it (sense motive nat 20).]

Of course. [She doesn't see a point in pressing further right now. They're both tired and emotional exhausted from the events that took place.] I'm sure some sleep would do me a world of good, too.

Sure. Of course. It's been ... it's been a lot for everyone.

Will you stay? I don't want to be alone tonight.

[with the slightest smile] Myri, I don't think I could ever leave you alone again.
