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. ]

Hellsing can judge my ass a death trap. [Toby grumbles, tucking her hair behind pointed ears as she turns.] I trust Hellsing as much as they trust me, which is to say, I don't. Our goals may align right now, but this is still a terrible idea.

You probably don't remember this since you were... wherever you were before this, but this castle got crushed in an attack by one rich dude with a tank and some ambitious associates. We need all the help we can get here.
errantdetective: (We know too well the song she sings)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-10-18 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
I do pay some attention, you know. I can even get internet on my phone.

[It... isn't exactly sarcasm. She is consistently baffled by how far technology has come. Losing 14 years to a fish pond will make playing catch up kind of tricky.]

Still, there's accepting help, then there's letting them come in so they can train us at 6 am. Which is, by the way, extra horrible if you're not diurnal. There is not enough coffee in the world.

Why did you have to remind me of that part? [Topher "sleeps until noon" Brink has to agree with that sentiment.] The Dragon's Hoard is not gonna survive this.
errantdetective: (And that's why she flew away)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-10-19 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs.] I'm just saying, they clearly like being in charge, and apparently our brand new Dragon's Claws have no problem with that.
andblockbuster: (I don't wanna hear about your cat.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-10-20 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of all the people in the castle who should probably have that kind of power... Definitely would not pick the magic users.

[HE'S JUST... SAYIN'.]
errantdetective: (Or just foolish little tools?)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-10-23 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dryly:] Gee, thanks.
andblockbuster: (You can't shoot me.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-10-24 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Look I'm just saying. They have spells for everything. [He's not backing down from this just because you can magic, Toby.] The non-magical peons of the world can't exactly do anything about it.
errantdetective: (Guard your eggshell heart)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-10-25 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You're saying they're powerful enough already?

[She doesn't even entirely disagree, though she does think he's oversimplifying the problem.]
andblockbuster: (I don't wanna hear about your cat.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-10-26 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Yeah. [Of course he's oversimplifying it.] Kanye had to get something right in his life.
errantdetective: (And you can't escape a story that)

[Toby's age is showing because she definitely looks blank at that reference. She was a fish for fourteen years, what do you want from her?]

Mortals can do plenty of damage without a drop of magic in their blood. Just look at Trump.
andblockbuster: (You hang out with us.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-10-26 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I try not to. He has the complexion of those mashed carrots they feed babies. It's disconcerting. [...anyway] The point is... Everything about this feels hinky. But I'd still rather it be hinky with armed people everywhere, even if I do have to go through Hellsing boot camp.
errantdetective: (We know too well the song she sings)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-10-29 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Because a lot of armed people everywhere has never made things worse.
andblockbuster: (British people don't have tentacles.)

We're not in Nazi-occupied Paris, here. It's weird and unnerving and harshing my system, but it could be worse.
errantdetective: (Guard your eggshell heart)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-11-03 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She rolls her eyes.] My concern is that it's going to get worse, obviously. Things never start maximum bad. They build up.
andblockbuster: (Had to rent a crane to get these shots)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-11-04 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Topher waves his hands in wild gesticulations.] We are in the middle of some sort of crazy godpocalypse. What is more maximum bad than that?
errantdetective: (We know too well the song she sings)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-11-09 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Being at the end of some sort of crazy godpocalypse?
andblockbuster: (My mattress is made of gypsy sluts.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-11-13 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not gonna happen. We took an entire country back from a dictator. We all mostly survived an assault on the castle. And that's not even touching on the missions we've been on. Like... I literally got turned to stone once. It was not fun.

We got this. [He wishes he felt as confident as he sounds. That bluff 13 isn't helping all that much though.]
errantdetective: (And that's why she flew away)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-11-14 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh huh. Her sense motive of 21 sure doesn't buy it.] You asked what would be more maximum bad. Here's hoping we don't get there.
andblockbuster: (Goddamn Koreans.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-11-15 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He runs a hand down his face.] Do you think we can beat this?
errantdetective: (And that's why she flew away)

[personal profile] errantdetective 2017-11-17 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we have a choice.
andblockbuster: (I just need a hug. Not molestation.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2017-11-20 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's... Kinda what I expected.

[No pressure.]
