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. ]

As if it's hard to get a degree? They give doctorates out to celebrities just for being famous.

[firstexample]

Well, I'm not famous! Just a genius!

[She rolls her eyes.]

Brag much?

[firstexample]

There's nothing wrong with knowing one's strengths.

[receptionist]

[She offers him a frown, showing some pity for him.] Well, at least you have the one.

[firstexample]

That's it. I'm reporting you, young lady.

[receptionist]

[She's flattered, because young lady, but then it's almost as if people just want her to yell this at them.]

YOU AREN'T MY SUPERVISOR!! [Then she storms off in a huff... or at least she's going to attempt.]
