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. ]

Relax. [ bea shushes her, falling back into being unconcerned. if helen can change her mind that quickly, then bea doesn't think she'll be pressured into do anything.

it won't be a hardship to find a fellow teleporting gal. ]

It's fine, I can check on her without... it being weird or dishonest.

[daredtobelieve]

[There's a palpable relief in the way she exhales, her shoulders sagging as a great deal of tension is released.]

Thank you.

[perambulate]

You'd do it if it was Ro's mum asking, [ bea says with a shrug. that's what friends do. ]

[daredtobelieve]

[A small smile tugs at the corners of her mouth.]

Of course. And perhaps I can show my appreciation by cooking meal for you and Ro sometime soon. [you can't live off cheezits, bea]

[perambulate]

[ she probably has before ok ]

I wouldn't say no.

[daredtobelieve]

I would be heartbroken if you did.

[perambulate]

Well now I definitely can't say no.

[daredtobelieve]

[Helen cracks a smile]

Perfect. Just let me know when you're both free and I'll get it sorted.

[perambulate]

Will do. [ but first she's going in for another hug. ]

[daredtobelieve]

[Helen is all about those hugs.]

Run along. I'm sure you have others to catch up with. I'll be here.

[perambulate]

[ bea presses a kiss to helen's cheek but darts off without argument because she's right and bea is reluctantly sticking around so they will have plenty of time. ]
