open ♔ castle farewell socialization

WHO || The Knights [ota!]
WHAT || The Knights prepare to depart for America
WHERE || The castle, London
WHEN || Directly after this is announced, Fall 2017
HOW || Actionspam
The acting Heads of the Knighthood - Hasmed and Solace - have made a decision that is not easy for many. Given the terrible state of everything happening in America, they've decided to relocate operations entirely to the States, and have secured a facility near Las Vegas. It is certainly possible, with the grim missions that lie before them, that many, or all, of the Knights may never return. Reactions to the announcement are certain to be strong, but it's time to choose what they will bring with them to their new life - and for some, to decide if it's a journey they can bring themselves to take.
[ This is the social log for anything before the Knights relocate to Las Vegas ]
no subject
[Hopefully she recognizes his voice?]
Sorry, I woke you.
no subject
[ She bolts upright. It's been weeks without a word. Honestly, she'd started to fear the worst, but — ]
Don't apologize. [ She's breathless, relief apparent. ] I'm just glad you're alright.
no subject
[He feels bad for worrying her.]
How are things where you are?
[He's been worried too, okay.]
no subject
[ That's sort of sleepily said, but she's rubbing the dust from her eyes and getting on with it. ]
I came clean. To everyone, about everything. We're leaving the castle behind. [ Beat. ] So, hey, if you get homesick ... [ Bad joke? ]
no subject
When all of this is over, I'll have to figure out where home is again, I guess. But I'll be sure to look you up.
[He's clearly making light of the situation, too.]
no subject
[ But she's laughing as she says it. It's a sad laugh, though. Somewhat strained by distance, by the fact that it would actually be great for that conversation to be on the table, but ... it's not. Rapidly barreling towards death sort of negates the 'is this casual' conversation. There might not even be a 'this.' ]
This burner, does it receive texts? I can give you my number with SHIELD. Drakenet surveillance free. That way if you need anything ...
no subject
[It's not entirely a joke, but the likelihood of them both coming out the other side of this is...probably unlikely at best.
It makes it easier to see the other side though, however improbably.]
I can't guarantee I'll get any of them right away, but I will eventually when I'm somewhere with a signal. Drakenet surveillance free is perfect as long as it's safe from anyone who might come looking for us. [A beat.] Are you staying in London?
no subject
[ They don't have the manpower they used to, but she has a feeling they could pull something off if Sam needed it. ]
I'll just feel better if you know how to reach out without worrying about Hasmed or Solace sending the Dragon's Waste Management or whatever else they do to people they call traitors.
no subject
[He doesn't even mean it in a bad way anymore. It's just the way things are.]
I think they've got their hands full, but we're not taking any chances just in case. That said, we're cut off from basically everything most of the time, so I might need you to look up some stuff for me in the future if that's alright.
[There's no internet. It's a nightmare.]
no subject
[ Just clarifying. Without the toys, maybe. ]
no subject
Is that a bad thing?
no subject
[ And her tone matches. ]
I'll be sure and curate a fine selection of memes to go with any arcane data dumps.
no subject
[A beat.]
If you hear anything helpful about what might be happening in LA, that would be helpful too. I can try to do the same for you guys.
no subject
[ He's not going to like this offer. She knows it already. She just ... wants to say it to know she said it. ]
... SHIELD can protect you. From Hasmed and Solace and the Knighthood. Just because they put you out in the cold doesn't mean SHIELD will.
no subject
That said, there's too many factors at work here.]
Unfortunately, that's not my call.
[He's the newcomer to this group. And he knows that not everyone else will want to jump into another organization with a bunch of people they don't know when it came to this. They couldn't even trust the people they'd been with for years. There was also the matter of getting outside people involved and, therefore, hurt.]
I'll mention it to Jack, but I think we're going to have to fly solo on this. There's too many variables to contend with already that I don't want to subject anyone else to.
[You know, considering there are a couple of fiends basically demanding to be involved, too.]
no subject
I figured, but ... Well, I had to try. I just wish I'd been fast enough to get Jack in to brief Coulson.
[ Hasmed and Solace can't be trusted to do a half decent job on all the failboat intel. They need failboat for that.
But that's all tactics. It's probably not the warm saccharine wistfulness that this exchange calls for, but Skye isn't especially good at being that kind of person. She doesn't have experience letting herself miss people. ]
no subject
[It might take more than just them. It might take more than all of them put together.
It was hard to say.
Sam wishes he could stop missing people. That would make his life a hell of a lot easier.]
Especially now that we can't contact the knights.
no subject
[ She'd volunteer, but she has a feeling she's gonna be persona non grata with plenty of people right about now. ]
no subject
[Not with Hell getting their fingers into everything.]
That's a big part of the reason that this...means a lot to me.
[He's trusting you, Skye. That's a big fucking deal right now.]
no subject
[ She tries to play it off like a joke but
she can't finish it. It's there, out in the world. ]
... Don't die out there, okay?
no subject
[He's not planning on it, but when does anyone?]
I'll catch you later.
no subject
[ She hangs up and, for a while, just lays there in the bed with the phone on her chest. Then, slowly, she picks it up and punches in the number for her SHIELD phone to send to him. There. Handled. She's done everything she can to keep him alive a little bit longer tonight. ]
