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. ]

If there's anything in the lab that might help, just let me know. [Not that he knows how much mixing tech and magic would work for this, but he's got some connections and can at least offer them.]

I have no problem offering up blood samples to the knights scientists, either. Whatever will help.

[errantdetective]

That's probably a good idea. It's not like any of them will be dumb enough to drink the blood. [Toby takes another swig of coffee, then stands up.] Ugh, I'm gonna have to do research. But maybe I can find a record of something like this having happened before.

[badexample]

If you let me know what to look for, I can probably help with that. [He's pretty good with those sort of deep dives, after all.]

[succubestie]

I appreciate this a lot, Toby. Seriously.
