WHAT || The Ex-Knights of Failboat arrive at Krozna
WHERE || Krozna, Russia
WHEN || 2 days after LA
HOW || Actionspam or prose

Sidelined from the mission that has been many of their lives for years, the group who had once stood against Keijen Blade has made a dangerous gambit - they've decided to leave the Knighthood, knowing they may never be allowed to return.  With them, have gone Sam and Dean Winchester, and Faith Lehane.  Their destination?  A distant monastery overlooking the village of Krozna, in the Ural Mountains.   This hidden location was home to many Shadowkind who did not wish to deal with the prejudice that their appearance might force upon them out in the world, particularly in Russia.  Wynn had apparently established a location here for Knights that broke the rules of the Knighthood so extremely to reflect upon their crimes, or for those whose powers made it impossible for them to live out in civilized society.

This monastery of misfits is run by a man named Mikhail Kalachnik, a willing exile who volunteered for the position, a man vouched for as trustworthy by both Jack Chessing and Finnick Odair.  It is here that the former Knights will set up a base of operations from which they intend to rescue Rafael Giovanni, research a way to stop Keijen Blade, and take him down once and for all, along with the evil Mind Master.  

But first, they must get to know the exiled Knights with whom they will be sharing this hideout...

[After he catches up with Vi, David mostly goes back to his normal routine. His time is pretty evenly split between training with his sword up on the roof and helping out with the sheep at a farm down in the village. He's probably one of the more approachable people in Krozna, so he's happy to chat with anyone and help them find anything in the monastery.

Please talk to him. He's been starved for pleasant conversation for years.]

[So, yeah. The sole bottle of alcohol that she found? That stuff that was probably as old as dirt? She doesn't want to be brave enough to finish it, so she's venturing out and into the cold to try and find something worth finishing. If they're gonna be there a while, she figures she might have to just sneak something in. Unless it's a dry village.

She spots the long haired guy from before and he's ... with sheep.

She's not gonna judge.]

David -- right?

[uncease]

[The sound of his name draws his attention. He greets her with a smile because he honestly loves this job. It's good, honest work, and it helps him keep his head clear.]

Yeah, hey. [He steps towards her and waves.] I don't think I caught your name before-- any of your names, actually.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, we kinda came in hot and without much in the way of introductions. I'm Faith. [She goes to offer her hand out, but then pauses.]

You don't have anything weird about touching -- right?

[uncease]

[He shakes his head, a small smile curving the corner of his mouth.]

No, but that's a fair question. [He reaches out and offers his hand to shake.] I'm guessing you've run into some of our more... skittish residents.

[msattentionspan]

[She shakes his hand and nods.] It's cool. I mean, I get the whole keeping distance thing, even without having a reason for it. Sometimes you just need your space.

[uncease]

Most of the people here need it whether they want it or not. [Hence the middle of nowhere location.]

You settling in alright?

[msattentionspan]

[She shrugs, because she really didn't expect to have to "settle in" here. She thought it'd be a quick pit-stop where they regroup and then head out to kick ass. Settling down... it's what she's been actively avoiding recently.]

I've stayed in some pretty bad dive motels. This place is fine. A little dry, but I guess alcohol isn't the best thing to keep around.

[uncease]

Someone might have a stash they could share with you. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. [He's not much for drinking these days.]

[selfexile]

[ mik will make his way up to the roof, hands stuffed in his pockets, expelling breaths that are visible on the air as he draws closer to david ] Seems we will be having our hands full.

[uncease]

[At the sight of Mik, David lowers his sword and rests it against the closest ledge.]

I think that's an understatement. I want to help, but... It makes me nervous, Mik.

[selfexile]

The timing is certainly not ideal. But I think with some monitoring, things will be alright. [ he looks out off the roof, at the mountains beyond ] She was... the most volatile of anyone. Most of them will just wish for space.

[uncease]

[He glances away, looking out towards the village.]

It shouldn't have happened at all. We should have found a way to help her.

[selfexile]

We did all that we could, David. At least she had those who were willing to try.

[uncease]

And others who wanted to nothing more than to give her the push. [He's not over that comment from earlier.]

[selfexile]

Nobody truly wanted that.

[uncease]

You know him better than I do. [He doesn't sound too convinced.]

I don't know. I just don't see how anyone can joke about it like he does.

[dragonsclaw]

[ annnd eventually jack is gonna come tracking david down when he's out tending his sheeps ]

David, is it?

[uncease]

[Glancing up at the sound of a voice, David recognizes the man from the encounter with Gar and Phillip. It's not hard to put two and two together from there.]

Yes, that's me. And you're Jack, right?

[dragonsclaw]

I am. Mikhail told me that he'd already made you aware of the... change in circumstances, back home.

[uncease]

[He nods] It seems like a lot has changed. But I think you mean Amara and her curse?

[chessing]

Precisely, yes. It would seem that you are free to return, if you wish.

[uncease]

I would like to, yes. [He's been going back and forth on this since his conversation with Mik, but ultimately, this is what he needs to do.]

How soon were you looking to leave?

[chessing]

Tomorrow, actually. Do you think you'll be able to come to a decision by then, or is that a bit rushed?

[uncease]

[He rocks back on his heels and lets out a heavy exhale.]

No, that won't be necessary. I'll be packed by tomorrow. [He knows that he's always going to be a little afraid to make this move, but it's one he knows he needs to make. He has to go back. He can't hide here for the rest of his life, avoiding the chance of disappointing his daughter.]
