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

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. ]

[ she shouts, stumbles back, and spills to the cold stone ground as she is thrust out of her meditative state. she's back in the dungeon, suddenly, sweating and panting and staring up at darth vane's face. ]

I felt it. I felt it, but something pushed me away.

You did surprisingly well, really.

It's there, isn't it? But protected.
forcevisions: (i don't like your kingdom keys)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2017-12-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
What is it? More magic?

[ no, better just ask the question she really wants answered: ]

How do I get past it?

There are powerful masters of magic here, who possess their own artifacts for breaking through these sorts of protections.

You just need to get your hands on one.

[ that's enough information for rey. she turns to head back up the stairs without another word. no gratitude for the teachings of the sith. no promise of cooperation. just drive.

she wants that holocron. a part of her has convinced herself that locked inside it might be the secrets that will help her understand her own place, her role, her purpose. anything else is just an obstacle.

[ vane calls after her: ] They won't just give it to you, you know.

I hope you're prepared to do what you must.

[ the words echo in her ears, chasing her up the stairs. words that she wants to escape but can't because they strike too close to the truth.

but the holocron does not belong to the knighthood. it belongs to the jedi. wynn was only its caretaker, and he is gone now.

but stealing artifacts from the dragon's fire. breaking through wynn's wards? it's crossing a line. a line she won't necessarily be able to come back from.

the alternative, though, is to just let them have it. and to watch them deteriorate like ahsoka watched the jedi deteriorate.

she strikes off for the dragon's fire wing. regardless of whether she takes vane's word, of how she intends to acquire it, she knows that she'll need an artifact from there. it can't hurt to look.

[ the dragon's fire wing is surprisingly busy at the moment, plenty of people moving down hallways between rooms and practice areas. ]

[ she will start searching around for anything like a case of magic artifacts or a restricted section or something like that. with enhances sense of 21, that still only gives her a 15 spot check ... ]

[ it's enough for her to find the room of basic magical supplies - which is mostly a place where fire members can go fill up their spell component pouches, to be honest. zatanna is in there, currently, and she glances up when rey half-pokes in ] Looking for someone?
forcevisions: (but i guess you'll never know)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2017-12-26 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not exactly, no.

[ she hesitates to clarify. it's pretty evident in the way she startles and pauses that she hadn't expected to find anyone here. ]

I need help. And I don't know who to ask.

I'd usually say Hasmed, but he's a little busy these days.
forcevisions: (they got the kingdom)

Does he have some kind of ... deputy, or something? Someone who understands powerful magical artifacts.

I mean, Cabot is the local artifact specialist. Why? Did you find something?
forcevisions: (you shine like a star)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2017-12-26 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
No. It's not that.

[ she's not planning to elaborate beyond that. ]

Where would I find Sir Cabot?

You could look him up on Drakenet. Sometimes he's up playing pool, but he generally keeps himself scarce.

[personal profile] forcevisions 2017-12-26 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And there's no one here who has his expertise?

It's his whole life. Hasmed has skill at enchanting items, maybe a few others as well. [ she considers ] Have you tried Sir Gold? I feel like he might be able to help you.
forcevisions: (i mean i rose up from the dead)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2017-12-27 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try them both. [ she straightens up like this was a Totally Professional Interaction. ] Thank you.
cigam: (i don't want to let you in)

[personal profile] cigam 2017-12-27 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, no problem. [ apparently she is distracted as shit and thinks this was Totally Normal ok ]
