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...

Checking to see if Felicity's phone works and then probably bitching about shit. Incidentally, since we don't have much booze... you guys know I can grow weed, right?

[ like they can have an alcohol alternative at their fingertips if they so choose. ]

Oh. Oh. That sounds like an excellent idea. Though we should probably do that outside though, so it doesn't stink the place up.

[A beat.]

We are the worst at knight rehab.

No one tell Gar. She'll probably try to give us a lecture.

Gar needs it, too.

Hell, we all need it. It we weren't in knight rehab I'd be suggesting a smoking circle.

Speaking of Hell, wanna close the door behind you, Kit Kat?

[ vi glances around at felicity and buffy and kat, her girls, and her mouth settles into a slightly annoyed frown. ]

I'll do it!

[ she hops up quickly to shut the door because yay literally anything but weed talk. ]

[ oh buffy. ]

I took myself to the airport, 'cause I had to stop for diapers. And while I was walking, Des decided now was the best time to apologize for shit that happened literally years ago.

Even more than that, for him. Right?

[Translating things into Hell time makes her head hurt.]

Why do I feel like this isn't a case of "better late than never"?

"There's no excuse," he says, followed by justifications, 'cause those aren't excuses. Which, like, his excuse is that he's old as fuck and no human was ever supposed to be that old blah blah blah and no one can understand how he thinks because he's the only one. [ vi's lips purse. ]

[ buffy glances away and downward, frowning. she doesn't want to get into that. ]

He reached out to me too. He's trying to find whatever in he can. That's all. He thinks an apology will appeal to your good heart. And ... And he thought promising to help me get Rafael back would appeal to mine.

[ kat looks at buffy carefully ]

Will it?

Does it matter? We're cut off here.

From the world, yeah. Not so much from Hell.

[ tbh she hadn't thought of that and she should have. she's not used to thinking of des as One of Them and it's apparent in the brief flicker of surprise and thoughtfulness in her expression.

she shrugs her shoulders. she doesn't have an answer, with all that said. ]

I don't think the question is whether it will or not.

[Buffy wants to get Raf back, information on that coming up is going to peak her interest whether she wants it to or not. Unless she's abandoning Raf to his fate and not planning on rescuing him.]

It's whether or not either of you is going to give him the leverage. Just because he's dangling a great carrot doesn't mean we have to be the dumb horse that keeps walking forward trying to eat it.

Exactly. And we're not staying here forever - if he shows up and this comes up, what are you going to say next time? If it was the only way?

[ if it's the only way, vi would give into that and she shifts uncomfortably because she is self-aware enough to recognize that. ]

The only way?

[ it's impossible not to take this as a dogpile, so buffy responds to it as such, a hint of animosity in her voice. ]

You mean if the rest of you forgot that the only reason he's there in the first place is because he took Gar's place?

Whoa, whoa.

[And now we're getting into dangerous territory, so please let's not turn this into a fight. They've still got a long way to go and don't need to start picking fights with each other in close quarters already (diplomacy 20 total).]

No one is forgetting that. And I think we all know that it isn't that cut and dry.

[Gar may have been the leverage but they still wanted Rafael all the same. She then glances over to Kat.]

And we aren't that desperate yet. If we start spiraling into the what ifs now, we'll fall apart before we even get started.

[ buffy holds her hands up like it's cool. we're all friends here. ]

I just want to make sure I know what to be prepared for, if Tia doesn't pull through with Crombe.

[ buffy looks at kat, frowns, then looks back at vi. yikes. ]

What else did he say to you?

He thinks hating someone for thousands of years is a good basis to start a healthy relationship on because at least he felt something? [ she shrugs. ] I asked him why he chose Hell and that was his answer. Also, side note, he's in fraud hell so let's all steer clear of that one.

[ felicity... just don't die. ]
