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. ]

Central City, Missouri. It's not on any map I've found here, but...

[ She half-shrugs. ]

Different universes. Bound to be some differences.

Missouri? [He rubs the back of his neck.] I knew of a Central City in Colorado. Small little spot on the map, but a lot of casinos. [When you work narcotics, you tend to follow the money up to places like that.]

Definitely must be one of those parallel things.

[trigeminalheadache]

Has to be. [ She reaches up and tucks her hair behind her ears. ] Where's home for you?

[cowboy]

I'm from Texas, but spent a few years in Los Angeles before I ended up on this side of things. Spent some time here, mostly during training, then headed back to LA.

[trigeminalheadache]

You didn't sound like you're from LA. How long has it been since you've been back?

[ And then, to clarify: ] Here. Not since you've been back home.

[cowboy]

I've been back in LA for about ... [He tries to figure out the dates. It all kind of blurs.] three years.
