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. ]

1400 miles. Takes four or five trips between here and Joburg, depending on where Ro wants to stop for lunch. Easier over land, if I've got guests, if I know where to stop.

We tested it once though, I can go 21 times before I pass out or throw up on her.

[telekinect]

Is it trackable?

[perambulate]

In that all magic is, yeah. There's ways to trace the last teleport in the minute, but if someone is with me that can block that or we go from some place that isn't particularly noteworthy or likely to be tracked or we set a remote viewing trap...

[telekinect]

Our need for something like that is probably only to get worse soon.

[perambulate]

Yay, I'll be useful. [ /sarcasm. she'd rather not be a necessity tbh. ]

[telekinect]

If you want out, now's your chance.

[perambulate]

Ro has this really... irritating goodness to her. She won't leave now and I won't leave without her.

[ she's in it for the long haul. ]

[telekinect]

Maybe she's not the only one with some goodness motivating her.

Gross, Tia. [ bea affects a heavy eye roll, but a smile is tugging at her lips so it's clear she appreciates the sentiment. ]

You'll make me blush. Go on then, call me if you need a ride. [ she leans in to kiss both tia's cheeks, giving her shoulder a squeeze. ] Or anything at all.

[telekinection]

That goes for you too. [ she'll give her a peck back ] Although the only rides I can offer are on four wheels.

[perambulate]

I like cars. [ with one last brush of her fingers against tia's arm, bea slips past her to continue on her way. ]
