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. ]

Then I imagine we decide whether a world run by Blade is one worth living in or not.

[She looks a little somber at that.]

I guess we'll just have to cross that bridge if we get to it.

[everyredcent]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but remain prepared for the worst.

[anthophobia]

I'm always prepared for the worst.

[Because that seems to be what they get a lot. At least she manages not to sound bitter as she says it.]

[everyredcent]

You'll do well to keep an ear to the ground here, as well. If you hear anything... unusual, do let me know.

[anthophobia]

Yeah. No problem.

[She tends to do that on the regular anyway, listen for things that might be unusual. This may be her home but paranoia doesn't die easily.

Now that she feels like it's being invaded, that will be dialed up a notch.]

Let me know what the section heads say.

[everyredcent]

I will. [ with that, he takes his gizmo and pushes the door open ] Take care of yourself. [ annnd he's out ]
