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. ]

Topher, you -- [ she stops a second, squaring herself, and suddenly getting incredibly aggressive (intimidate... nat 20???) ] There are other things that need your attention right now. We're going to have any number of enemies joining the fray, and quite simply, I don't think Solace or Hasmed would trust any machine telling them who was trustworthy.

[WOW THAT WAS OVERKILL, GAR. But it works, because in that moment, he remembers Adelle and his fear of scary British women comes crawling back.]

I, uh... Yeah, you're... Um. Probably right. [He might be shaking a little bit, his resolve faltering.] I'm just gonna go do those other things now.

[THE WILD TOPHER FLED... to be really hurt and upset somewhere else.]
