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. ]

It's going to sound crazy. [But the relief from Rose assuring her that there wouldn't be hard feelings is enough to let her open up about it a bit.]

Sometimes, I hear voices. Or I used to. I always thought it was the Stargods, guiding me. They brought me to the Veil, told me I would find a home, a family. And they were right. [She reaches out and gives Rose's hand a brief squeeze.] But I haven't heard them since. Until...

I was dreaming. While they were trying to heal me, I had this dream. It was...terrifying and difficult to explain. Things from my past twisting with all of this. But then the voice returned. And it was so clear. East. Home, family. Find him. I don't... I don't know what it means, but it must mean something. The Stargods have waited this long to speak to me again.
littledhampir: ♫ Uncertainty can be a guiding light. (Nothing clever to say here.)

[ Basically as long as Myri wasn't going to play nice with Team Hell? There wasn't anything she could say or do that Rose needed to forgive.

That ghost of a smile touches her lips again but Rose keeps her thoughts to herself. Explaining the whole 'I don't think you're crazy I spent years with voices in my head' was just too much trouble than it was worth.

She does however, listen carefully to what Myri is saying, wishing that she didn't need to ask the question that her heightened paranoia needs her to ask.]


Find who. [Hesitating before she does.] And... do you know for sure it was the Stargods speaking to you?

I don't know who. They didn't say. There were flashes of faces, speaking to me. A man from my past who hunted me. Elena. Wynn.

I'm not sure if there's a way for anyone to know for sure where the message came from, is there?
littledhampir: ♫ Pucker up for heaven sake  There's never been so much at stake. (How should I take that?)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2017-10-20 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Wynn... [She shouldn't hope. She shouldn't be hearing that possibility, just because she wanted it to be so, but if there was even a chance.]

Dean... might have some idea? [Dean just always seems to know stuff that most people... don't.]

What happened in the dream exactly?

[She closes her eyes and tries to remember as much as she can. (Wisdom 24 for details)]

He had caught me. Moncriith, the blood priest. He was telling anyone who would listen that I was evil, bringing demons forth with my magic. Then it shifted. I was with Elena, holding her dagger that felt so wrong like a darkness was trying to swallow me. But Moncriith was there, mocking me. And her. And Amaranth flying overhead. He said I was a demon, that I stole this body. And he was so sure... so sure of it.

[Shes distracted by that thought but shakes her head.]

Then I was at the concert. And I'm looking out at the lava, watching thousands of innocent people die and there's nothing I can do. Wynn's hand is on my shoulder, and he tells me "They wait." But then he's gone. He transforms and flies away.

The voice came after. Go east. Find him. He waits.

And then I woke up.
littledhampir: ♫ I said I'd never let you go and I never did. (Where do I go from here?)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2017-10-20 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She knew only too well the danger in seeing only what you desperately wanted to see in a dream but this... Perhaps she should have been paying closer attention to the first half, but once Myri got to the part about Wynn... that was literally all she heard.

Go East. Find him. He waits.

It couldn't really be that simple, could it?

With an epic Will Save, Rose keeps the thoughts spinning around in her head to herself, the hand that Myri holds, giving hers a squeeze.]


Just... do me a favor? Come with us to where we're going. If you still feel you have something you need to do? I'll go with you. But let's just get through this next part, first.

You won't, Rose. You can't. There's no telling how long this would take, and Jack will want people to go after Blade and the Mind Master immediately, I'm sure. I wouldn't ask you to leave with me.

[She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.]

But I may be able to join you to see wherever Jack is taking you. He said it's east, after all.
littledhampir: ♫ But if you feel like talking, talk away. I'm gonna hang on every word you say. (Really listening to what you say.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2017-10-22 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
We won't be going after Blade and the Mind Master right away. We can't. We need to get Raf first and we need to figure out a way to go after them, otherwise, it's suicide.

[They weren't entirely wrong about saying that their Team made a lot of mistakes, but every mistake was made when they went head to head with the likes of those two.]

And you're not asking me, Myri. I'm offering. All I'm asking is that you wait long enough to see where we're headed... and don't leave without talking to me in person, first.

Okay, I think I can agree to that. [She gives Rose a small smile.] Thank you. For listening. For always being there.
