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

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.

[her ears practically perk at the mention of new spells. She loves new spells.

She clears her throat, speaking up for the first time since the garage.]

Aye, I've heard of a spell like that. Never thought I'd need it, but it's a great idea Gar. We can get to work on it as soon as we land.

[she nods to Kat in reassurance, giving the other mage a smile.]

Plus, it's not like we're going there to stay forever. It's a base of operations.

[nepotism]

Uh... guys. [ fred says, suddenly pointing up at the tv in the corner. ] Maybe someone should turn that up.

[ dean frowns at the screen before going to do just that ]

[klep]

[Felicity follows his line of sight to the TV and as he speaks her eyes just ... close as she covers her face with her hands.]

Oh, fuck.

[shootfirst]

Don't we have enough to deal with without adding Nazi Germany to the list?!

[graveflowers]

[ vi hugs her baby to her chest. her VERY ORANGE OBV NOT FULLY HUMAN BABY. ]

What the fuck.

[ buffy, who has been Too Busy to follow politics — ]

... Is that the guy from The Apprentice? He can't do that. Who gave him the right to go around making laws and stuff?

[likedillinger]

... You've been living in England, not on Mars. [ judging u buffy ] Looks like they're gunning for a new Civil War.

[littledhampir]

He's giving Blade exactly what he wants... [More quietly angry than disturbed, for the moment.] He'll get his own army of Shadowkind out of this and he won't even have to try.

[Oh and cause shit doesn't happen unless it gets noted here, yeah Rose totally left her phone back at the castle. Lbr she was happy to be rid of that thing.]

[65]

Blade probably knew this would happen when he did what he did.

[speaking not as someone who knows any fuckin thing about trump but as someone who knows how strategy works...]

[nosdacariad]

That, and these 'rising Shadowkind attacks' he's talking about probably had to do with Blade's subliminal message concert tour, honestly.

[slay]

Even if we stop Blade, now, by some miracle ... At this rate, we might be mopping up his mess for the next century.

[rationalizes]

It certainly won't be an... an overnight fix, yes. But it's still better than a world run by Blade.

[ she looks around at them all ] The stakes are only higher.
