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. ]

[That makes so much sense it's not even funny. Bo grins, running a hand over the top of Caeden's head.]

He's worth being a little freaked out sometimes.

Definitely and at least now you have someone else who's been through it. I haven't been on active duty since before she was born, so I'm usually around if you need a break or complete sentences for a bit.

I am one hundred percent up for adult time in between the screaming and the eating.

[consequence]

And the diapers. I still remember the first few months that I'd change her even if I just thought she needed changing.

[succubestie]

Right!? I swear they put those color-changing stripes on there so that we go through more of them then we need to.

[Hayley laughs.] Man, the moment I figured out that was what they were? I think I was watching her even closer. The constant checking.

Thankfully, I eased up after the first few weeks otherwise I think Wynn would've started to raise eyebrows at my receipts.

[succubestie]

[Her smile saddens a bit, because Wynn is still MIA.]

Wynn still needs to meet him.

[consequence]

[She smiles at the little one, wiggling her fingers at him to try and get a smile from him.]

I'm sure he'll be able to do that soon enough.
