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 don't know. [The weight of the uncertainty sort of hangs there in between them.] I really hope we do, too.

[She nods. Agreeing with his hopefulness.]

I should -- I should let you get back to ... I should let you be.

[He's in this weird place where he doesn't want to be alone, but he also does? And he isn't sure if she's uncomfortable around him.]

You don't have to. I mean- we can find a movie to watch or something, if you want.

[animalistic]

Are you sure? [She wants to stay, but she doesn't want to make him feel weird about it.]

You can pick the movie, because I don't know any of them. [She says it, trying to make it more inviting for her to stay.]

[killingtodeath]

I'm sure. [He starts browsing Netflix, not really sure what he's looking for. There's some bad low budget sci fi action flick, so he tosses that on and leans back against the couch.]

Thanks.

[animalistic]

[She glances to him and smiles.] Of course.

[The movie starts and she wants to pay attention to it. She wants to make sure she knows the names of these characters in case it actually turns out to be good.]
