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.

[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.

[witchwoman]

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]

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.

[witchwoman]

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