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. ]

You aren't. [ the words come quickly, firmly. ]

I'd go myself, if we weren't concerned about losing more leadership. If I weren't concerned with leaving it entirely in their hands.

[ he hesitates again ] If you go, you need to remain unseen.

Yeah, I know. We need information, not someone acting like a hero.

[She's no hero. That's why it's better if she goes instead of most of these headstrong Knights they have that would volunteer as tribute.]

[personal profile] everyredcent 2017-10-25 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
And someone who recognizes that not everyone in their party may grasp that fact.

[Exactly. She'll leave people behind if she really has to. She won't like it, but dying isn't going to help anyone.

This is about survival.

She'd made Finnick promise to do something with this. She had to do the same, and she didn't have a kid that she could potentially leave behind.]


When they put the team together, tell them I want to go.

I will. Until then, I advise you to keep your head down.

You don't have to tell me twice.

[The less these new people even see her, the better.]

We're allowed to go outside, as long as we stay on the grounds, right?

Yes, although that vampire of Hellsing's is skulking around. Watch out for that one.

Unless he's a fan of climbing trees, I think I can avoid him.
everyredcent: (i always wanted to return)

[personal profile] everyredcent 2017-11-07 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine he can probably float.

[Her nose scrunches up.]

That's super creepy. Why is he allowed in here with us again?
everyredcent: (pic#7275592)

[personal profile] everyredcent 2017-11-12 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Because Hasmed and Solace seem to believe that we are incapable of handling this threat without assistance. And prescribe to the belief that the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

[She's still unhappy about all this, but her conversation with Finnick lingers in the back of her mind, and she begrudgingly says:]

What if we aren't? What if we can't do it, even with help? [She sighs, frustrated.] Finnick was there. I talked to him about it and he...he didn't seem to think our outlook was very good.

Then I imagine we decide whether a world run by Blade is one worth living in or not.

[She looks a little somber at that.]

I guess we'll just have to cross that bridge if we get to it.
everyredcent: (i'll swallow you whole)

[personal profile] everyredcent 2017-11-18 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but remain prepared for the worst.

[personal profile] anthophobia 2017-11-19 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm always prepared for the worst.

[Because that seems to be what they get a lot. At least she manages not to sound bitter as she says it.]

You'll do well to keep an ear to the ground here, as well. If you hear anything... unusual, do let me know.
anthophobia: (pic#7617276)

[personal profile] anthophobia 2017-11-27 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. No problem.

[She tends to do that on the regular anyway, listen for things that might be unusual. This may be her home but paranoia doesn't die easily.

Now that she feels like it's being invaded, that will be dialed up a notch.]


Let me know what the section heads say.

I will. [ with that, he takes his gizmo and pushes the door open ] Take care of yourself. [ annnd he's out ]
