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. ]

[She lets out a slow breath, letting that information sink into her. There are a handful of Knights she really cares about that could end up canon fodder to buy Rose and her friends some time. Faye's stomach twists in knots at the thought of any of them not making it out of this. Her best chance at keeping her people safe was to be there.]

Okay. [A will save of 16 keeps her from getting too emotional, but this conversation feels more like goodbye than the one on Andres. Maybe because even if Rose wins, she may not be allowed to come back. There's a lot that could change, a lot that was already changing.] I'd ask you to do the same, but... [This is the definition of not careful basically.]

Keep my number handy, just in case.

[She would love nothing more than to see all of the Knights take a backseat on this once, to know that her friends were safe while they found a way to finish this, but the cost of doing nothing while they did just that, far outweighed the potential cost of fighting.

Still. It's not lost on Rose what she's saying here, nor is the tone of this conversation.]

I will. And... I don't know if there's going to be a way for you to safely reach me. [She didn't even know where they were going yet.] The phones we got from the Knights are going to be a no go but... when I figure it out? I'll try and at least, check in.

Alright, well- whenever you do find a way, don't do something dumb and start off with "it's Rose." [Just saying.]

You should be the only unknown number texting or calling, so it's not like I'll need to do any deep dive investigation.
