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. ]

[ It very clearly doesn't sit well with Rose, the idea of doing nothing but she doesn't exactly have much of a choice. Bo is right. She has her own shit to deal with. Too much of it.

Rose meets her gaze, not quite able to summon a smile but there is a steadiness there as they look at each other. Some indication, small though it might be, that she was going to be alright. That she at least had some belief they both would be. ]


I will. [ A flutter of laughter in her reply in response to Bo's very... Rose-like answer, honestly. ]

And you... [ She hesitates, a part of her not wanting to bring ominous warnings to the table but if she didn't and it was somehow linked... ] Just, be careful, yeah? Not everyone here can be trusted. We might have gotten rid of Elena and Des but... it goes much deeper than that.

[She's not doing nothing. She's doing too much at once and Bo will deal with this herself.

They'd be fine, and when they came out the other side, they would have drinks.]


Careful's not my strong suit, but I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled. Hell's bitches will be sorry if they think they can take advantage of me.
littledhampir: ♫ They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know. (Yeah. See. Here s the thing.)

[ She'd come here with one main purpose, not simply to say goodbye but to warn her about Helen but now Rose isn't sure if it will only add more to Bo's already full plate. ]

If anyone asks you about me... Don't trust them. [ That was simple enough. A warning without making her paranoid on the level of Rose and Dean. She figured if anyone did? They either didn't know Rose well enough to realize she'd be unhappy about it, or they were up to no good. ]

Anyway... I ah. [ She looks down at her closed hand, the small cloth wrapped object concealed in her fist feeling warm as she's held tight to it throughout this conversation. ] It's not much but, I got this. For Caeden.

[ Finally opening up her palm and offering it to Bo. ]

It's meant to be for protection. [ And within it, is a small Nazar, something that might be familiar to Bo as something like the one the Dhampir had worn before the war in Andres, something that Dean had worn every day since. ] I thought maybe... you could hang it on those things people put above a kids bed.

[ She doesn't know how to kids, ok. She means a mobile. ]

Deal.

[That's an easy enough promise to make; Bo assumes everyone who should be asking about her will be leaving with her.

Her eyes fall to the object in Rose's hand and she reaches out to take it, handling it carefully.

She smiles softly, the gesture clearly affecting her and she obviously remembers seeing something like it previously.]


I'll tell him Auntie Rose is watching over him even from far away.

[ That earns a confused, yet weirdly emotional expression from Rose: Like she's not sure how to take it but is also touched at the same time. ]

I'll be back to see him start doing cool stuff. Somebody has to teach him to blindly take his Mom's side in everything.

[ Her light tone still not able to fully suppress the swelling emotion. ]

I will be back. [ One way or another, even if she's not welcome at the Knights. Good luck to Hasmed ad Solace keeping Rose away without hurting themselves in the process. ]

[She laughs softly at her light tone and the words themselves, but there's a sobering seriousness in her eyes as she gives Rose a nod.]

Damn right you will.

[She reaches forward, placing a gentle hand against the back of her head and leaning in to kiss Rose on the forehead.]

I'm holding you to that.

[ She wants nothing more than to reject what feels like the finality of this departure. Saying one thing with her words, but both of them knowing that wishing it were so wouldn't guarantee they'd see each other again. ]

Right back at you. [ Clearing the lump from her throat before sucking in a deep breath and trying to summon up a smile. More said in the look they exchange in that moment than could ever be spoken out loud. ]

Just promise me something, will you? [It's such a sober moment that she can feel the weight of it hanging between them, only the slight curve of her mouth shifting the mood before she speaks again. ] Make Solace and Hasmed's lives hell for me.

[ Wynn-Stans for life, bitches. ]

It's a pact, then. Should we pinky swear on it?

[Trying to make as much light of the situation as possible. She doesn't like the finality either, so she's going to avoid that feeling as much as she can.

The smile that spreads across her face, amused and mischievous, comes easily.]


They already don't know how to handle me. I can't see that changing now.
littledhampir: ♫ Not a trace of doubt in my mind. (Keeping it real here.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2019-07-08 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Pinkie swear?

[ Don't worry Bo, she does know what that is but from the surprise and laughter than comes from her? It's safe to say that Rose has never pinkie sworn on anything in her life.

It doesn't stop her from holding her pinkie out to do just that. ]


Yeah well. My only regret in leaving here is that I didn't throw myself across the table to roundhouse kick them both in the head for betraying Wynn.

[ Because it's not their treatment of her or even the rest of the team that she finds unforgivable. It's what they were saying about Wynn that would sooner see her spit on their graves than piss on them if they were on fire. ]

[Pinkie swear it is! Bo doesn't hesitate to link hers with Rose's.]

They think they're doing their best for the Knighthood. Doesn't mean they're right, but it was going to be messy when he didn't come back with you. [She sighs.] If it were different, I wouldn't be staying either.

[Maybe after they save the world, she won't.]
littledhampir: ♫ Enough is enough a line in the sand (Not sure I want to hear this.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2019-07-16 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Cause they're spineless assholes.

[ Which is why she's so angry. If they'd had the balls to face Wynn and tell him how they felt, perhaps she could have respected that much at least but instead they didn't even wait for them to return before they were bringing in Hellsing and parading about the Castle like they were already in charge. ]

They've been against Wynn for years. Finnick said he heard the two of them trash-talking him back when he was a Squire and just before we left for L.A? Solace tried to tell me I couldn't go to Wynn if I had a problem. Like I couldn't trust him.

I don't think they're Evil. Just know-it-all dickbags - [ She spends too much time with Dean. ] - who are dumb enough to believe that anything Wynn can do, they can do better. If it wouldn't get everyone killed? I'd give anything to see them fall flat on their faces.

[ Tell us how you really feel, Rose. ]

[personal profile] succubestie 2019-07-30 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they're idiots. That's not up for debate.

[And while she will Wynn-stan til the end of time, even he had made a mistake here and there.]

We just have to figure out all this other crap first, and then we'll deal with them.
littledhampir: ♫ They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know. (Yeah. See. Here s the thing.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2019-07-30 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Rose wasn't entirely blind to Wynn's mistakes, but she still had faith in him. Needed to have faith in him. ]

That'd be reason enough to come back here... to see them put in their place.

[They were definitely on the same page there.]

It's a date, then.

[She winks.]
