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



the blues - switchfoot
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. ]

Yes and no. [But first...] Lois, this is Koraith. He's above me, but for a different... department, you could say. Sir Koraith, this is Lois Lane.

Nice to meet you. [ she will go to shake his hand firmly ] Any friend of Smallville's....

I'm glad to hear that. [ he glances at clark ] Clark, perhaps I could speak with Lois for a few moments alone?

[He's a little surprised by that.]

Oh. Uh... yeah. I'll just... [He gestures to a nearby room where he will stand around awkwardly. No biggie.]

[When has Clark ever let people have a private conversation when he was curious about it? Unfortunately, he doesn't have super hearing, but the dice made up for it by giving him a nat 20 on that listen check so...]

I'm gonna preface this by saying that if this is a cult and you've dragged Smallville into some kind of pyramid scheme, you will be appearing the front page. Just so we're clear on that.

[ the casual threat gets a warm chuckle from koraith.

"Your concern for your friend is admirable, my dear," he says, "but unnecessary. We are, you could say, a modern day Knighthood of sorts, whose concerns lie with protecting this world from threats that come from others - and from protecting those pilgrims who come from other worlds who may not find safe harbor here. We operate in secrecy from the public, but we are on good terms with most governments of the world, where the protection of all citizens is a priority. Clark claims that you may find an interest in this sort of work - and that you could be built for it, in a way."

she sounds mildly surprised as she replies. ]


A pretty glowing review. Not what I would have expected from him.


... You really think I could help?

[ "He is certain of it. Our leader, Wynnefalshond, is unfortunately currently missing in action... So recruitment falls under the purveyance of those of us who lead in his absence. I work as head of the Dragon's Tongue, our regiment of diplomats, you might say. And if you'd like, I'd like to chat with you about the possibility of your joining us..." ]

[It sounds like it's going well, which is good. He's already committed to eavesdropping, so he's not going to quit now. (legit rolled his listen check again and got another nat 20 what the hellllll).]

[ "I mean, I wasn't exactly job hunting when I came here, but-- wait, what do you mean 'missing in action'?" ]

Just that. He stayed behind to save some of our Knights on a dangerous mission, and we've yet to determine whether he survived or not. We are, of course, optimistic.

[ "... Right. I'm uh, sorry to hear that. What kind of skills does someone have to have to join your operation? I don't exactly have superstrength over here." ]

A spirit to do well by all living creatures. An intellectual curiosity, which you've already demonstrated, and the intelligence and gumption to apply it. It of course helps if you can hold your own in a scrap.

[ "Military brat. Kind of got that one covered." ]

[The corner of his mouth curves up. This seems like it's going to actually happen! He gets a little distracted by the thought, though. (listen 2)]

[ it's not much longer before the door opens and lois is grinning at him like a smug idiot ] So I guess we're co-workers now.

[He's been nervous about this whole thing for the last day or so. It's amazing to feel the relief wash over him as she says those words. He grins at her.]

Yeah?

[personal profile] loisfuckinglane 2018-02-03 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Here I bet you thought you got rid of me.

[He laughs and shakes his head.]

Not a chance. You're sure about this, though? It can get really dangerous.

[He's just... triple checking.]

[personal profile] loisfuckinglane 2018-02-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Clark, please. Have you met me?
clarkfuckingkent: (pic#11926805)

[personal profile] clarkfuckingkent 2018-02-07 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's part of why I'm asking again. Give it some time to sink in. [But he's honestly relieved to have everything out in the open.] Do you need time to pack up? I'm guessing you can ride back with us, if you want.

I can come back for my things. I want to see this castle.
