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. ]

I always kind of expected to die young in some awful way or another. If the world ends while I'm still alive, I'm gonna be pissed.

[She laughs.]

So you're going to go down in a blaze of glory? That's the plan?

No, not exactly. ... Well, maybe. But I've never been that healthy, so I always kind of just looked at it as an eventuality.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just not ready for it to be today.

Nah, me either. It's sort of like, an inverse, you know? The more I get my shit together, the more everything else around me seems to be falling apart.

[She laughs.]

Sounds like the way of the world, unfortunately. Once things start going well, something's gotta come around to screw it up.

Sounds right. [he finishes the cigarette he was working on and gets to lighting another.]

So, you're gonna stick around, I'm guessing?

[personal profile] bredinthebone 2017-11-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a bit.]

This is what I signed up for. This is my life. So if this is how it goes down, then I'm going down with it.

[he hesitates for a moment, but then just goes for it:]

I don't know if I should or not. There's so much that doesn't sit right with me.
bredinthebone: (Default)

[personal profile] bredinthebone 2017-11-27 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She can understand that much, because Hasmed and Solace stealing command of the Knighthood like this doesn't sit right with her at all, but at the same time ... ]

I get it. I'm not sure I trust all of this either. But I don't think I could sit out the fight either. And honestly I would rather have you here so we could watch each other's backs, but I'd also understand if you'd rather step out on this one.

You've got Gus. [so dismissive of the idea that someone could??? actually want/need him around????????] And I know, I know, the best way to change things if they really start going sideways is from the inside. I've been thinking about it. But some of the stuff Hasmed and Solace are doing ... fuckin' Hellsing, least of all... I've got a bad feeling about this shit. And if the other shoe is gonna drop, I don't want to be around when it happens.
bredinthebone: (and taught me to behave)

[personal profile] bredinthebone 2017-11-28 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's fair.

[She won't bring up the fact that Felicity just died, so Gus might not necessarily be a reliable factor, because this isn't about guilting Alex into doing something that doesn't sit right from him. There are probably going to be a lot of knights that are going to do the same for their own personal reasons.

But Malina isn't going to abandon the ones who stay.]


You do what you gotta do. But I feel like some people have to be here with their heads on straight in order to keep things from getting too out of hand.

[did that occur to him???? nah. he's self-absorbed and also lost abigail so clearly ... no one else has lost anyone ... whatever.]

Yeah, I'd agree with that. At least they couldn't ask for anybody better, you know.
bredinthebone: (angels take the good)

[personal profile] bredinthebone 2017-11-29 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smirks a bit in return, before sliding off the banister and placing a hand on his arm gently.]

If I don't see you until all this is over, be careful out there.

[personal profile] ambitionist 2017-12-02 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Really, I'll probably be around, being my usual cheerful fucking self. [he puts his hand over hers.] But you, too.
bredinthebone: (i won't question your desires)

[She gives him a small smile before heading out and leaving him there to mull it over some more. /scene]
