chapter five ♔ it'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down



the blues - switchfoot
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. ]

Between you and Ro, I'm feeling cold.

[ she is not the desert flower her two friends are and while she'd prefer to be closer to the water, england isn't as offensive to her system. she has her own mug, sipping a flowery tea as she reaches up to coax her hair back over her ears, keeping the slight points covered. ]

This country is intolerable. What drives the wealthiest civilization in the world to lay roots down in a place like this? Where you couldn't even survive without shelter?

Maybe the original settlers were like me.

[ maybe? she flunked history so she doesn't know/care ]

Functionally immune to low temperatures?

A preference to dampness.

That's definitely just you.

It's not my fault, it's genetics. [ she can't help that her mother's people were descended from water nymphs, a fact very few people know -- tia, ro, wynn, zara herself. ]

A likely excuse. [ she waves it off. ] Easier than admitting certain things are simply poor taste, I suppose.

True enough -- perhaps why England tried to take all the warm lands for themselves.

[personal profile] pilgrimages 2017-12-09 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
And perhaps why I found my way to the one they failed to conquer.

[ her smirk widens. ]

Do you suppose this is the reason it never would have worked between us?

[ bea makes a face. ] You forget I was born in the East. My mother only brought us here when I was a teenager. I live in the warmth for Rosario, I could for you as well. Brazil is on the coast.

[ her eyebrows lift. ]

Don't say that. If I accept that it's true, I'll be forced to also accept that you simply prefer someone else to me.

No lo creo. A Rosario no eso gustaria.

If she does, you let me know. [ she winks. ] I'll free up a weekend.

[ not more than that, though. that'd require things like trust and commitment. she doesn't have the faith in people for that. ]

A weekend, [ bea laments melodramtically. ] One day you will see, princesa. We can wait.

Oh, I've missed you.

[ she grins. ]

South Africa is too far away. It should not take a nightmare god to bring us together.

It would be easier if we were on the same continent, [ bea muses. she will live anywhere, ro will live anywhere it's warm and there are people in need. MAYBE BRAZIL... she'll just have to learn conversational portuguese...

but no, not the point right now when they're chilling here for the next however long. ]


It should not take a nightmare god to do anything.

And yet our situation remains.

No. Tia tried to read the people that had been under Blade-- is it Blade? What an awful name, why didn't he just call himself Huge Cock MacPowerful-Dick?

[ tangent, bea, get back on target. ] Tia tried to read them and it backfired. If a telepath tried to find him or Wynn they'd probably get a severe case of brain melting.

[ there's a flicker of something in zara's face that just says wOW that was a lot re: hugecock macpowerfuldick. she shakes her head and is able to brush it off, however, because … well, because she knows bea, at this point. ]

Do you think he's really stronger than Wynn?

[personal profile] perambulate 2018-02-02 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I think at this point underestimating him would be catastrophic.

[ so she'll go with yes for now. ]
