krozna ♔ our wrongs remain unrectified
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...
no subject
We just have to cover all our bases, just in case.
no subject
[All very matter of fact cause Rose is frankly not in the mood for things to go from bad to worse. Or... terrible, horrible no good very bad to fuck our lives, why this.]
Upside, us being in the middle of nowhere, I can't imagine he can do much. Not like he got sent here for setting fires.
no subject
[Do they even have the web out here? Probably not.]
But yeah, I'll point him out. Otherwise, he's the only one I've seen with glasses.
no subject
[Though, honestly? If Jack is already across it she's not too worried. She imagines he'll be extra diligent if it involves Gar.]
I'm a little more worried about our own people than I am about the residents.
[Echoing the sentiments shared in the meeting.]
no subject
[He palms the cup with both hands, warming them.]
I feel bad having to keep a close eye on everyone, but we don't really have a choice. If they figure out where we are, we're not gonna be able to get rid of them.
[They didn't really have anywhere else to go, as far as he knew.]
no subject
[She's aware that she sounds like a paranoid freak but she has a great appreciation now for how bad things can get if you put your faith in the wrong people.]
Hell doesn't come with a flashing red sign that reads, don't trust me I'm a devil. [
And even if it did, Sam isn't exactly good at obeying the warning signs.] They worm their way in through the people we care about... making it so that nothing is left untainted by their reach.no subject
[He's realized there's no running away from this. It's everywhere, around them, physically a part of him. Even if he wanted to rub his soul clean, he can't.
But he can use what they gave him to fight back and make them regret every time they stick their noses where they don't belong.]
no subject
Probably not the healthiest thing to want from somebody but given their lives...]
I felt bad at first. Not about, looking into Elena but, keeping it from everyone. [ It went against the grain, to hide something so big from the people she cared about. ] But the deeper we got, the more I understood what Dean has dealt with all these years. All it takes is one person saying the wrong thing at the wrong time...
no subject
[And some people would try to see past that, but the likelihood that 99.9% of people would be able to stop doing that and just completely accept the situation? Slim to none.]
We're not getting away from this. Not completely. Even if we play it perfectly.
no subject
I'm used to it. [Trying to play it off, like that reality doesn't bother her half as much as it actually does.] When Dean and I went after Elena and Kyp... Nobody said it outright, but it was made pretty clear that we were the bad guys for tracking them down while they all flocked to Elena like she hadn't done anything wrong.
[She lifted her hot chocolate to her lips, allowing the sweet, warm liquid to roll across her tongue before swallowing. Her mind pulling apart the tangle of thoughts that had knotted inside her head for years.]
Who knows... maybe if she'd ever been made accountable for the damage she caused and the people she hurt, things might have been different.
no subject
[Just saying. He listens to the rest quietly, nodding in the right places, not speaking until she's done.]
They probably felt guilty they couldn't stop her. Or they were in denial that she'd do something like that. [Not that that makes it right, but you know...he didn't know Elena, so he can't really comment too much.]
Maybe. Or maybe not, if they already had their eyes on her. It's hard to know.
no subject
Or in denial about who she actually is... People always want to see Elena as the victim. Somebody who needs to be... protected or, saved.
[ Rose had never seen Elena that way, perhaps because they were the same age. She'd viewed her as an equal, somebody just as capable as she was, no matter the situation. Elena wasn't physically strong no, but being capable was about so much more than that. ]
Maybe... [ But she shakes her head. ] Or maybe when they tried to get their hooks into her, she would have made different choices.
[ Rose sighs, trying to push those thoughts back into their box. ]
Doesn't really matter now. There's no going back.
no subject
[There's a knowing look in his eye. As the younger brother, Dean had always thought that he needed to protect, and then save, Sam.
And look at all the things he'd done.]
They get their hooks in when you're at your lowest, from my experience. [Which is only with one person, but still...] They make you feel...special. Like they're the only person in the world who gets you.
It's hard to drag yourself away from that.
no subject
But in fairness, nobody really knew that about Rose because... nobody ever asked. ]
Yeah but... you didn't sign up to be their bitch. [The parallels here, are so not lost on her.] I can understand how they got their hooks in, how maybe at first she thought she was doing the right thing but at some point... When you're making a deal to bargain with the life of somebody you once loved just to protect yourself?
[Granted, it was Lucifer's deal, not Elena's but Rose didn't get the impression that she'd given a flying fuck.]
I don't get it... I don't think I ever will. I'd rather be dead than do what they did.
no subject
[Sometimes he wonders what would have happened if he'd been that Sam. If they only reason Glasya didn't try to suck him in deeper was because she had already won that battle. That she'd wanted something else from him that meant keeping him on a string was worth the trouble.]
But I guess that proves that different circumstances could have meant a different outcome. But, like you said, it's too late now. There's no saving Elena, even if you wanted to.
[His mouth presses together awkwardly, taking a sip out of his mug against as he ponders what he says next.]
It's weird...knowing that they're both down there together.
[His evil twin and her ex-best friend.]
no subject
Maybe that's why it's different, though... [Lines creasing her forehead as she tries to elaborate.] You knowing what, other you did... maybe that's the only way to make a different choice.
[She could say that she would never in a million years choose Hell, be confident of that fact but if somebody came along with proof that another version of her had? She'd be hyperaware of every decision she made, every step she took.]
You get the benefit of hindsight without having to live it. [She grimaces a little as she acknowledges;] The consequences too.
[Rose makes a face at that, completing this horrible picture by pointing out.]
You think that's weird... try realising she's his Mother-In-Law.
no subject
[Because he can't say that he doesn't. He knows the things he's done himself. He knows what he would do if Dean were suffering and the world was against them and it was the only idea he had left.
He doesn't want to say he wouldn't do the same thing, but he can't. That said, it's already been done. It doesn't need to happen again.
So he needs to do what his counterpart can't. He wants to.]
I could have done without an Apocalypse on top of all this, but beggars can't be choosers, right?
[The most bittersweet of statements. Still, his nose scrunches up in a mirror of 'gross' just like hers and he shakes his head.]
I could have lived without ever thinking of that.
[Because that's a whole 'nother bucket of weird considering, well, Glasya.
Nope.jpg]
There's, um, one other thing we should probably talk about.
no subject
[Rose always seems to be juggling two to three disasters at the same time so that means now Sam gets to as well.
Good luck.
Given what they were only just talking about, is it really any wonder that Rose comes to a shuddering halt, her hand raising as if to stop Sam before he can say anything more.]
If this has anything to do with you and Glasya getting naked together? There are some conversations I'm perfectly okay with never having. [A beat.] Unless you fathered the antichrist. [Another... as her expression now turns very serious.] You didn't, right?
no subject
Of course not! [His eyes are a little wide and a little horrified.] Jesus, Rose.
[What a terrifying thought. Good thing he used all those condoms.
Oh, wait.
He clears his throat, moving on.]
I was talking about psionics. What I can do. You know, with my mind?
[Not to do with his dick, thank you very much.]
no subject
[Un s u r e.]
What about them? [Eyes narrowing because she gets the feeling she's walking into a trap with this conversation.]
no subject
[Lucifer's juice just sounds...the worst. No thank you, please.]
Once Tia gets here, I'm gonna talk to her. With her help, I'm going to keep practicing. Whether I wanted them or not, they're here to stay, and the more control I have over them, the more they're mine and not...something else.
[He chooses what he does with what he's been given. It's like when he talked to Buffy; her powers might be dark in nature too, but what mattered is what she did with them. It was the same for him; if he could take this and do something good with it, it was a big middle finger to what had been done to him.]
no subject
She shrugs though as if to say, okay.]
Right... [ Eyes narrowing a little. She noticed that in all of that, he didn't say he'd like to, but rather that he was going to. ] And, have you mentioned any of this to Dean?
no subject
[He might have...wanted to talk to Rose first. Guilty.]
Look, I know he's not going to like it. I just want to know how you feel about it.
no subject
I... feel like. [Why this. Why her.] Maybe... Dean's not wrong to be worried?
no subject
I'm not saying he can't worry. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't keep an eye on me. I'll show you what I can do. You can help me make sure I don't take it too far.
[He sighs.]
But I can't keep avoiding it. I can't risk hurting people by pretending it doesn't exist. And I can't keep hating myself forever.
[Diplomacy...35. Holy shit, Sam.]
