closed ♔ and when we collide | we'll see what gets left over

[dragonsclaw]

WHO || Failboat [closed]
WHAT || After the announcement, Jack calls a meeting
WHERE || Thomas Bancroft's room, the Castle
WHEN || 8am, the day after LA
HOW || Actionspam or prose

Solace's announcement makes the situation unfortunately plain - those who have worked to stop Blade and company for the last five years have been side-lined, and will be until this ends, one way or another.  Jack has sent out a secret communication to all members of the team, asking them to gather in Thomas Bancroft's old room, which has stood empty since his death, and is usually locked.

When they make their way there before 8am, however, they will find the door unlatched.  Jack is already inside, with Gar seated near him, one hand on his arm.  Kat leans against the wall behind Fred, who is seated in a chair.  Her arms are folded, and she's grinding her teeth back and forth.

LEAVING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[dragonsclaw]

[ PLEASE DROP A COMMENT HERE, it can just be a summary of how your character is going to exit the building! if they are sneakin' please include rolls. tyyy ]

[witchwoman]

Myri can teleport with 5 other people. If Shayla counts as one of those then four other people... She's at least leaving the castle with everyone. I'm still sorting out if she will join them beyond that.

[65]

finnick is going with his fam, fam

[witchwoman]

Also sleight of hand 18 for stealing health potions from the light wing

[sirsolace]

[ well... shit. myri is shoving potions into her diaper bag when she hears a solemn voice right behind her, a cautious warning in his tone ] Sir Odair.

[rationalizes]

Gar & Jack are going with Myri and the fam

[graveflowers]

[ after packing all her shit (and wrapping her and luthir's swords up in cloth, rip yoga pants, and hiding them inside lucia's pack and play), vi shoves some baby clothes and necessaries into the diaper bag and slings it and her bow and staff over her shoulder. she pops lucia into her carseat, pops the carseat into the stroller, and off she trots. right out the front door.

look. solace said they weren't being kicked out but he also said no one would begrudge anyone choosing to leave so vi doesn't bother hiding it. plus she has to go to the store for diapers and baby food because no one warned her there would be a freakin' lockdown. that's their own fault. ]

[rationalizes]

NO ONE BUGS VI OR STOPS HER, SHE JUST WALKS RIGHT OUT NP

[graveflowers]

[ while she is walking the few miles to her uber pick up, she's gonna pray to gramps for that info fyi.

and also casually tell lucifer to have his wife call her. (unsure) ]

[slay]

Buffy will leave with Kat. lmk if you need a stealth roll.

[shootfirst]

Is she going to try to get to kat's room unseen?

[slay]

This is actually happening. Rose, Sam, Dean, Mark (sorry Mark) and Alainn are going to try and get The Impala into Alainn's vault, and then Alainn can teleport them out of there with room for 3 more. This is fine.

[attollores]

[She's said her goodbyes, as much as she can, and is now nervously pacing in the room she and Mark share, sitting down only long enough to start tapping her hands and feet until she annoys even herself and stands to start pacing once more.

She actually did cook out of sheer nervousness (and it was almost a Nat 20, for a total of 34) so the rooms sideboards are stuffed with multiple, delicious smelling dishes. Mark is probably watching her pace and stuffing his face with the food.

More than being scared of the future, or how this escape will go, she's near to bursting with excitement]

[littledhampir]

[ Rose, Sam and Dean having dinner with Mark and Alainn was a perfectly expected thing. Had she been coming and going from other Failboat rooms, then maybe it would raise a few eyebrows but this was her Best Friend, the very one she rarely got to see these days with her living on Andres.

Yeah... she kept repeating this to herself the whole way to the room they were staying in but wasn't convincing herself that it would work. Good thing Rose is better at acting casual than she is feeling it. (Bluff 32).

Now what Rose hadn't told the boys was that she was fairly sure this dinner thing, was less about covering an escape and more about Alainn wanting to have a chance to suss Sam out. Up until now, trying to explain the complicated mess that was Dean's relationship with Sam, was like navigating her way through a minefield. Everything led back to Hell and it was safer not to get into it. About the only thing Des and Elena seemed to have made easier? Was Rose's ability to explain complicated bullshit.]

Trust me, Alainn can cook. Dean and I pretty much lived on her cooking when we were rebuilding Andres. [Making idle chit chat so as not to look half as grave as she felt.] And don't worry, she'll probably have some of the crap that you like.

[That was for Sam. And by crap she means healthy food.]

[klep]

Felicity is going to sneak from the room she shares with Thoster to Kat and head out with her as well: move silently 34, hide 32, and she'll use her without a trace talent so anyone detecting her has to take a -4 to their spot or listen checks.

[shootfirst]

[ felicity makes it to kat's room without a problem ]

[bigbad]

[Spike is going to angrily drive out of the castle, smoking and playing punk rock music as loudly as possible and flipping off anyone who questions him.

This is entirely normal behavior for him.]

[postergirl]

[ no one stops or sees spike peel out ]

[postergirl]

[ before he leaves tho, he gets a text ]

you're leaving, then

[bigbad]

And you're staying.

[He's disappointed, but not surprised. He likes Dumage, maybe even loves her, but there are some ways they're both fundamentally different and always will be.]

I can't stay here. I won't be made a prisoner.

[bigbad]

[Once he's far enough away from the castle to be reasonable sure he's not being pursued, he pulls out his phone and sends off two texts.]

Elena:

Think you can slip away for that coffee date, love?

Des:

Well? Your cell reception really all that down there?

action~

[doubletake]

[She doesn't text back. Instead, a couple of miles down the road, there's a strange noise beside him before he suddenly acquires a passenger.]

Well, this sure feels familiar. [Elena leans back comfortably in the seat, heeled feet up on the dashboard, legs crossed for 'modesty.'] Last time, I was the one driving, though. Better company this time around, too.

[She glances over at him, eyebrows lifted.]

You said something about coffee?

[shootfirst]

Kat is taking: herself, Fred, Buffy, Felicity via Dimension Door.

[postergirl]

dumage says fuck y'all and has a hot toddy
