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. ]

I'd prefer we don't provide them access to our airfield, all things considered. Somewhere more public, perhaps.

[withasouvenir]

Heathrow. [ she has seen love actually, she is going to be one of those dramatic reunions. ] Or... wherever you guys want.

[koraith]

That should do fine. Arrange the meeting and I'll make him aware of it.

[withasouvenir]

Alright. Thank you.

[koraith]

I implore you not to spread this around. We can't have everyone expecting an exception to be made.

[withasouvenir]

I won't tell anyone. [ she still hasn't even told barry about oliver and now she is honestly glad she put off talking to koraith when it was just oliver, she doesn't think she could get this chance twice. though speaking of: ]

But about my brother. If they've-- [ she swallows. ] If they've released the bodies... Can I have them brought back to me?

[koraith]

That is something I can certainly arrange. I'm very sorry, Thea, for your loss.

[withasouvenir]

[ a brittle, but grateful smile easily finds its way on to her face, however fleeting, speaking to too much experience with losing family. ]

Thank you, Sir. And if there is anything I can do, I want to help. I need to be useful.

[koraith]

For now, we're waiting on more intelligence, but I will keep that in mind.

[withasouvenir]

[ thea nods. ] Alright. Thank you.

[ and with that, she will slip out the door, texting him later with oliver and laurel's eta for the following day. ]
