♫ The Fog - Zulya

WHO || Failboat, Mikhail Kalachnik, ?? ??  [closed]
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...

Ask me that again in a week, I don't think I'll have an unbiased answer right now.

[ because BRR ]

[uncease]

[He cracks a smile and nods, leading them down towards a grassy area where some sheep are milling about. Since he just helps out, the actual farmer is probably somewhere nearby. But Charming looks super at home once they get into this area.]

Ever seen one of these up close? [He asks Lucia.]

[graveflowers]

[ "No!" but she looks delighted to see them, squirming wildly on vi's back and making a bleating noise like one will sprout wings and hover near her. "Baa baa ba ba ba. Sheeps!" ]

[uncease]

[He laughs and gestures them over towards one of the smaller ones, grabbing some grass and holding it out for the creature to nibble on.]

You know- we still need a name for this one. Do you know anyone who could help me?

[graveflowers]

[ "ME!"

since she practically shrieks it into vi's ear, vi lets her wriggle down her back and slip out the bottom of the parka. once on her feet she hovers behind david suddenly nervous. ]

They're safe, sweetie. And David is right there.

[uncease]

You can pet her. Just be gentle. [He's prepared to scoop her up if something goes wrong, but he's got the sheep pretty distracted with food.]

What do you think her name should be?

[graveflowers]

[ lucia VERY CAREFULLY reaches out to pat the sheep's wool and sheep irl are disgusting creatures but she doesn't seem to mind at all.

"Cloud." ]

[uncease]

[How dare you talk about his children like that!]

Cloud, huh? I like it. [He just looks so comfortable here. And happy beyond measure to share this with them. He glances up to Vi while he holds out more grass for Lucia to feed the sheep if she wants.]

Is there any chance I could convince you to catch me up on what I've missed back at the castle?

[graveflowers]

[ sheep be nasty. but cute. ]

There's a huge chance you can convince me. But maybe with hot cocoa in front of a fire or inside it, I'm not picky.

[ oh lu is def feeding the sheep. ]

[uncease]

[He laughs]

That's fair. I think we can manage to make something... close to hot cocoa. And maybe you can start with telling me about that interesting staff of yours.

[graveflowers]

[ "Baaaaaaaa ba ba ba baa ba baaa baaa baa ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaa." ]

I believe Lucia might speak sheep. [ she's not avoiding!!! ] It was a gift from my grandfather.

[uncease]

Your grandfather is here? [He's pretty sure she came through the Veil like he did..]

[graveflowers]

Yeah. It's... weird. And I doubt I'll see him again. honestly. He's busy, he has other stuff to do, but. [ she shrugs, but there a little, hopeful smile on her face. ]

It was nice, feeling like for a second I was important.

[uncease]

Hey. You're always important. Right, Lucia? Tell her. [using your own toddler against you like a good big brother.]

[graveflowers]

[ there's a pause because um? sheep? but lu eventually parrots: "Momma's the importantest." ]

That's cheating and thank you. I meant to my family, specifically.

[uncease]

[He nods]

I'm sure you're important to them too. And hey- that's a pretty cool gift. Definitely makes a statement.

[graveflowers]

Yeah, I have to use it against Blade so. You know, no pressure at all.

[uncease]

I'm guessing it's magic, then?

[graveflowers]

Yeah. It's his magic, so god magic. But like... I don't know how to aim it or how to work it or if I can only use it once or if it's too powerful to practice with or -- Okay, Zeus! If you want to send me a manual, that would be awesome!

[ oldmanyellingatclouds.jpeg ]

I'll take a post it note with tips!

[ lucia bleats at the sky. ]

[uncease]

[He blinks because...that's a lot of information.]

Well, if you want to risk practicing, I know of some pretty secluded spots out by some nearby caves.

[graveflowers]

We can go spelunking! [ lucia BLEATS MORE AGGRESSIVELY. she is sheep now. ]

[uncease]

[He chuckles.] Definitely. And hey- maybe you can figure out a way to this weird axe thing out of the stone. I found it awhile ago, but it won't budge.

[graveflowers]

Weird axe thing? You know how to woo a girl.

[ too soon? welp, vi's not taking it back. ]

Wait, wait, wait. [ wait. vi holds out her hand like WAIT. ] You have an ax in a stone like a redneck sword in the stone thing? That's amazing. You know, Buffy can, like, lift a truck? I mean Spike is pretty strong too but he's mad at everyone. [ so he is out. ]

[uncease]

I'm not sure if that's an exaggeration or not. [It's Vi but also people in this place can do really intense stuff.] But either way, I'll take anyone down there, if you guys want to try to get it out. I'm more of a sword guy, so you're welcome to it.

[graveflowers]

I'll tell her when we get back. How did get there, do you think? Is there a nearby lake where I can imagine a very cold Lady of the Lake?
