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. ]

[This sort of reception is something she's starting to get used to. Between Rose and Ashley, she just expects doors to be slammed in her face at any moment.]

A moment of your time. And a chance to apologize, if you're willing to hear it. [She doesn't expect much. If she sets the bar incredibly low, maybe it won't hurt so bad.]
littledhampir: ♫ When you're ignorant, you get treated that way. (I just don t care.)

[Rose continues to stare at Helen, disbelief running across her features as she gives an infinitesimal shake of her head, too stunned for incredulity at this point.]

No. [The word lacks the anger and hurt that had been there the last time they crossed paths. It was as if Helen had asked a ridiculous question and Rose can barely believe she has to answer her.]

I gave you a chance to do the right thing and you betrayed me. For what? Des? Azrael? Hell?! [She's not even going to pretend like Helen didn't know what she was talking about; hasn't always known.] Exactly how long did it take you to go running to them? Did you even struggle with the fact that I told you doing so could get me killed or did none of that matter to you?!

I'm not sure if anything I've done impacted this at all. He's been outed, and I can only assume you had the pleasure of doing it. It's also apparent that Elena has some part in this. [Im nearly positive Helen didn't know anything about that. But nothing surprises her at this point.]

I acted selfishly, without a doubt. But I made no deal. My soul is my own. You can find the best psions among our ranks and they'll find no knowledge of an evil plot. All this was for me was a friendship. And even that is done now. It isn't worth holding onto something that only serves as a reminder of what I've lost.
littledhampir: ♫ Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to. (You just crossed the line.)

[She chooses to take that lack of answer as a confirmation of her suspicions, Rose now wondering if her silence means it was only a matter of hours.

An unexpected bark of laughter fills the air, dripping with the bitterness that Rose feels Helen's words deserve.]


Some part in this?! She's the fucking Queen of Hell, Helen! Are you really that stupid that you betrayed everyone for the sake of some asshole that told you nothing.

[If Helen was looking for an ounce of sympathy or understanding, she would find none from Rose. As far as the brunette in front of her was concerned, Helen was just as bad as Elena and Des. Worse, even, because Rose had told her just how dangerous this was for her and Dean and yet she still chose Des.]

You didn't just act selfishly. You endangered the lives of everyone here. You knew it, because I told you, and you didn't give a fuck! So don't stand here and think I'm going to care about deals or if you and Des are friends or not. I meant every word I said in Marseilles. You are nothing, and you are dead to me.

I've trusted a lot of people who chose when and what to tell me as they saw fit, yourself included. You could have come to me long before you did. You waited until you were already angry with me, until I was already dead to you. Only then did you ask me to choose. You didn't trust my answer enough before I had already failed you.

You have every right to be angry with me, but do not rewrite history and pretend that I knew all sides of this from the very start. Both you and Des kept me in the dark in some way or another. You kept your secrets to protect someone you care about, and I thought I was doing the same. Poor judgment does not undo the centuries of good I have brought into this world and my own.
littledhampir: ♫ There’s a glossary of dirty words for people just like you. (Were you dropped on your head as a baby?)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2017-10-18 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you fucking serious right now?!

[Now comes the incredulity, Rose's hand clenching into a fist at her side as if she's ready to start swinging.]

When should I have had that conversation with you? When you were off fucking the Vampire who murdered the person I was bonded with? Maybe I should have tracked you down while I was busy getting blown up?

You don't get to make this my fault. You don't even get to blame Des for this. It's all you. Your choices, your consequences. I told you I was working for Wynn. That was your wake up call. I was angry with you because you fucked off to get a little action. I hate you, because you endangered my life, Dean's life, in the hopes of getting a little more. But hey, if telling yourself you're still a good person helps you sleep at night? Good for you. Doesn't make it true, though.

Now get out... before I go have a little chat with Hasmed and Solace.

I've never said any of this is your fault. But you seem to have this perception that you've done everything right and I've done everything wrong. The world has never been that simple and never will be.

I plan on telling Solace and Hasmed myself. I have nothing to hide. And from their announcement, I'm not so sure if they'd trust your word more than mine.
littledhampir: ♫ Don't play with me cause you're playing with fire. (Stone cold stare.)

[Rose merely stares at her, disgust in her eyes and without a word of warning...

Backhands her across the face. (ATK 31 DMG 18 non-lethal. WS Crit Fail)]


Now do us all a favor and go walk in front of a bus.

[Her words cold and punctuated by the slamming of the door in Helen's face.]
