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. ]

Have you asked? [Why are you making her be the grown up here? She hates this.]

[undealt]

Well, no, but-

[Gold's face is the very picture of DID NOT THINK THIS THROUGH.]

[reallywicked]

[She just gives him a Look.]

[GDI Faye.]

I imagine it would be best to check in on him- at the very least to explain what's happening here.

[reallywicked]

The world might be ending. It's probably a good time to figure it out. Also, if he's got magic, we may be in an all hands on deck situation, so.. [She shrugs. This is her good deed for the decade.]

[undealt]

[He looks at her fondly.] You've grown up so much, Faye.

[reallywicked]

[She shrugs, but can't hide the smallest trace of a smile at his comment.] You've taught me a lot. I know I wasn't an easy student, but you didn't give up.

Maybe I have grown up since then. [She takes a few steps backwards, towards the door.] Your turn.

[And with that, she turns and leaves because dramatic exits are definitely what grown ups do, right?]
