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. ]

How long do I have until I have to decide?

[impetere]

Hellsing is going to be here within a few days. I'm not sure how soon after that they're going to begin making plans and sending people out, but I think it's safe to say you'll have to make it soon.

It's kinda shitty of them. [She wonders if Wynn would feel the same way. It's awful to think that they roped these people in, pledged them to a cause, trained them -- and then when things went to hell and they were without their usual leadership ask them to pledge to someone else's cause. Without question or they're out. Seems dumb.]

[impetere]

Yeah, I agree. But we're not the ones making the rules right now.

[Which doesn't mean she likes it, but in order to get what she wants, she's going to have to play by them.]

[animalistic]

You're staying, right?

[impetere]

[She nods. She knows that Lan's not going anywhere while things with Wynn are up in the air, and she's not going to leave him alone with Hellsing. She also wants to get her own punches in with whatever it is that killed Abigail.]

Yeah. There's some people here who are trusting me to watch their backs.
