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. ]

[October isn't exactly Dragon's Fire, but she's a magic user, and she likes knowing what's going on with the other magic users here. She misses San Francisco and the Fae community she was a part of. It's not the same here, but at least with other magic users she can feel the familiar threads of power tangling around each other and catch the smells and sounds of different magics.

She eyes Zara as she comes in, taking note of the mug and the cardigan.]

Cold?

[Not that she's one to talk. Toby's kept her leather jacket on more than she necessarily needs to while inside. But that's more about feeling safe than feeling cold. It's the best armor she's got.]

[pilgrimages]

Reacclimating. It's ... been a while, since I was in England.

[ said to the tune of "and I fucking wish I were still gone, at this point." ]

[errantdetective]

[Toby sure feels that.]

Same. I'm normally in San Francisco. Nothing like an apocalypse to bring the family together, huh?

[pilgrimages]

How long has it been since you were out this way?

[errantdetective]

A few years. Before that it had been longer.

[Being stuck as a fish for fourteen years had kind of... complicated things.]

What about you?

[pilgrimages]

Oh, it must be ... six years? Now. I was just being promoted when I was last in England.

[errantdetective]

[She nods.] It's like the world's most depressing family reunion.
