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. ]

See, NDAs. That's what I should have looked into when I first started to reveal that vigilante stuff. Keep it away from emotions and just make it a legal thing.

[He's joking.]
withasouvenir: (♔ listening to ollie)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-08 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she snorts a weak laugh. ] Sounds totally reasonable.
yeahihidmypants: (e} smile: slight)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-09 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, just you know, bring legal documents. That's normal.

[He chuckles, shaking his head.] Speaking of totally normal things -- this call should probably transition into meeting for coffee - right? I mean, that's not weird, is it?
withasouvenir: (♔ little smile)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's a little weird, yeah. I mean, I know you're not asking me on date, but it's still kind of weird. Mostly because I am in London and you... are not.

[ pretend coffee? skype coffee? she can't deny she feels some urge to meet the guy with her brother's name but without her brother's sister. ]
yeahihidmypants: (e} smile: caught your eye)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well -- I mean, that's no problem. I have a jet. So even with all the ... issues going on out there with ... [He gestures, even though she can't see it. It's meant to encompass all the 'stuff' that he doesn't really understand and knows he can't make a difference with right now.]

I can just call my pilot and be to London by the afternoon. [Since it's late, late right now for him and who knows what time it is for her.]
withasouvenir: (♔ errr)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
You have a jet.

[ o l i v e r ]
yeahihidmypants: (e} takes: oh)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Did... [He pauses.] Did you not have a jet?
withasouvenir: (♔ mmkay)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I mean we did have to buy Oliver out of jail sentences four times in a row so we might have up until then. [ she could have forgotten, but she is pretty sure they weren't that absurdly rich.

malcolm on the other hand, yeah. ]
yeahihidmypants: (e} yep.)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
He what?

Alright, that just makes me doubt his abilities all over again. [He sighs.]

Still, I have a jet, and that offer to meet for coffee still stands.
withasouvenir: (♔ mmkay)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Did you skip the drunk college playboy thing?

[ she's ...hedging on the coffee because she can't leave if she wants to stay and since her entire family just died and sara and barry are still in the castle she doesn't want to lose what is left of home. ]
yeahihidmypants: (e} takes: wait what)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so for the record, I had an angry prep-school phase and I spiraled into the drunk playboy side of things after my parents died. Post-college. Hence the party yacht, which led to the island.

Now, the whole charming playboy thing I can do easily without alcohol and I'm really good at that. Still am.
withasouvenir: (♔ explaining)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, see my prep-school party phase started in middle school.

[ pets thea's hair. ]
yeahihidmypants: (Default)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I was just a mean kid. It wasn't so much a party thing as it was being an asshole thing.

My friends were... not the best to have surrounding me.

[He rubs the bridge of his nose.] I've made slightly better choices in my adulthood.
withasouvenir: (♔ stunned)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ oliver queen being a dick, somehow not a surprise. ]

As long as you've grown out of it. Look this is all... a lot to take in. You're basically my dead brother from a different universe and one where I don't exist. Can we do coffee in a few days?

[ she's still struggling to accept that ollie and felicity are gone. she needs a couple days. and also lockdown to be over. ]
yeahihidmypants: (Default)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Right. Sorry. I -- I'm a little impulsive.

Look, you have my number. I have a jet. So if you ever want to meet up, name the place and I'll meet you there. If it requires travel for you, I'll send the jet for you. Which now that I say it out loud does sound slightly kidnap-y, but I can also buy a plane ticket for you if that's preferred.
withasouvenir: (♔ gossiping)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-10 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I can afford a plane ticket to Paris for coffee at the Louvre.

[ because that is where she wants coffee. if her life is going to be a tragedy, it might as well be surrounded by priceless artwork. ]
yeahihidmypants: (Default)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-10 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. So that's the where and whenever you're ready you can give me the when.
withasouvenir: (♔ wonder twins)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-11 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds fair. I've got your number obviously.
yeahihidmypants: (e} smile: curious smirk)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-11 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously. [A beat.] And thank you, for talking to me. I know this can't be easy and you could have hung up on me or screamed at me for being insensitive.

If you ever want to talk - about anything - even if it isn't giving me a time and date for a coffee meet-up, I'm usually up at all hours, so the time change shouldn't bother me too much.
withasouvenir: (♔ dialogue)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-11 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ thea nods, sighing softly. ] It feels weird to say you're welcome.
yeahihidmypants: (Default)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-15 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't expecting that -- I mean, it's not a normal conversation under any circumstances.

Just know that I'm here to answer questions if you need answers. I'm in Metropolis, most of the time, but I do still have an apartment in Star City. If you ever want to get out of London for a weekend and either of those... bustling cities sound interesting.
withasouvenir: (♔ startled)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-17 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ wtf is metropolis... whatever, not important, but now she knows she can google oliver queen + metropolis and probably not fail. ]

I'm a little upset you didn't call Metropolis a metropolis.
yeahihidmypants: (Default)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-17 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
That -- was definitely a missed opportunity. I guess I never really think about it, since I live there.
withasouvenir: (♔ ew gross)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2017-11-17 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I expect you to take advantage of it next time.
yeahihidmypants: (e} taking a second look)

[personal profile] yeahihidmypants 2017-11-18 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'll set a reminder.

[Then for comedic purposes only:] Siri, next time I call Thea Queen remind me to make better use of puns.
