chapter five ♔ it'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down



the blues - switchfoot
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. ]

[He nods. Cheryl is definitely memorable. For all the wrong reasons, but anyway.]

Yeah, good to meet you Caitlin. [He scratches the back of his head, his hair getting messed up in the back in the process. He makes zero effort to fix that.]

It's nice to meet you as well, Sir Riggs.

[ Polite to a fault, as always. Which means she hesitates a moment, trying to decide whether or not to tell him that his hair is messed up. ]

Um. Sir Koraith has been coordinating the rooming arrangements since we're all here for the foreseeable future. Which mostly has meant putting Knights within the wings for their divisions but...

[ Her lips twist, her expression half-amused. Hopefully, he catches her drift. Freelancers, divisions, etc etc. ]

There's some padding for those who don't belong to one division or another. Do you have a preference?
cowboy: by me. for me. do not take. (but you don't succeed)

Riggs is fine. [He tries to brush off the formal title. He knows that he's earned it, but it just isn't him most days.]

And I'll find Sir Koraith and figure out where he's got the most room or the smallest room. I mean, really I'm good with a chair in a corner if there's an empty one.

Riggs.[ She repeats it as if she's testing it out. Sure. Why not. Plenty of other one-name people around.Tap tap tap she goes on the keyboard. ] Though I'm fairly certain there's no such thing as a small room here.

Most room is probably going to be in the Hide.
cowboy: by me. for me. do not take. (but not what you need)

Yeah, kinda learned that when I first got here. I went from living in an RV on the beach to feeling like I should take my shoes off when I stepped in the door.

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-17 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs softly, though it seems forced and definitely uncomfortable. An RV on the beach sounds a bit like paradise in comparison. ]

It's funny, how the Veil just randomly spits us out into this world.
cowboy: (streaming down your face)

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-17 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it wasn't actually from the beach to here. There was just a walk on a sidewalk. That ended me up on a different sidewalk.

[He doesn't actually like talking about the dark turn he took when he arrived, so he'll just skirt around that.]

So... you said you're new? New-ish? How long have you been with the Knights?

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-25 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods in response at first. ]

Officially, as a member? Since May.

[ It's true enough. Taking up space as a huddled mess in Barry or Cisco's rooms didn't really count, did it? ]
cowboy: by me. for me. do not take. (but not what you need)

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-25 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not long at all and you're already being thrown in with the chaos.

[He knows that it's not the most reassuring statement, but he also knows that if she's been here for that long she knows that it comes with the territory.]
trigeminalheadache: (204-015)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-25 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She huffs out a soft laugh, smiling. ]

We may not have Shadowkind and magic where I'm from, but there's plenty of chaos. It's a bit like riding a bike.

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-25 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear that. [He offers her a smile.] Where 'bout are you from?
trigeminalheadache: (222-053)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-25 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Central City, Missouri. It's not on any map I've found here, but...

[ She half-shrugs. ]

Different universes. Bound to be some differences.
cowboy: (Default)

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-25 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Missouri? [He rubs the back of his neck.] I knew of a Central City in Colorado. Small little spot on the map, but a lot of casinos. [When you work narcotics, you tend to follow the money up to places like that.]

Definitely must be one of those parallel things.

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-25 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Has to be. [ She reaches up and tucks her hair behind her ears. ] Where's home for you?
cowboy: (when you try your best)

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-25 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm from Texas, but spent a few years in Los Angeles before I ended up on this side of things. Spent some time here, mostly during training, then headed back to LA.

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2017-10-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't sound like you're from LA. How long has it been since you've been back?

[ And then, to clarify: ] Here. Not since you've been back home.
cowboy: (streaming down your face)

[personal profile] cowboy 2017-10-26 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I've been back in LA for about ... [He tries to figure out the dates. It all kind of blurs.] three years.
