bloody city - sam tinnesz
WHO || The Knights & agents of SHIELD
WHAT || The Knights arrive at the Las Vegas facility...
WHERE || SHIELD HQ (The Harbor), a desert location near Las Vegas, NV
WHEN || March 2018
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 vaguely near Las Vegas: agreeing to work alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization to find a way to take down Blade
. 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.

Most of the facility is underground, and the Knights are each granted badges that will act as keycards to get them into the barracks area that has been sequestered for them in its own building (called the Enclave), as well as to access the other rooms that are open to their use. It is more or less similar to this, but scaled up in size to account for the larger numbers of people housed on base. There are separate buildings on the base compound for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (The Sanctuary) and for those members of Hellsing (The Bulwark) who have relocated as well. The entire compound itself is referred to collectively as "The Harbor". Peter Fargason will continue to run training drills daily, attempting to mold the Knights into a more efficient combat unit, and Hasmed, Solace, Koraith, Dovan, and Lis'sa will continue to assign missions to members of the Knighthood, ostensibly aimed towards slowing the tide of monsters and evil doers heading to Los Angeles and protecting Shadowkind in America from the "war on Shadowkind" being waged by the American government, as non-humans are being rounded up as potential threats to the country. Hasmed and Solace have assumed joint leadership of the Knighthood, and appointed no Dragon's Claw to replace either the deceased Sir Bancroft or the now gone rogue Sir Chessing.

Gone is the eclectic decor of the castle rooms, replaced by a much more uniform look to each assigned barracks, which, unfortunately, sleep two to a room because of restraints on space. Feel free to sign up for a roommate on the thread on this post. In fact, everything here is much more polished, state of the art, and modern, which is a jarring change from the castle. How well people adjust may depend on quite a few factors... but for now, they are free to attempt settling in.

[ thea is, it seems, constantly on the move. now that they are in the states, she has the logistics of not one but two burials to plan and she spends quite sometime tucked at a computer googling jewish funeral traditions because she doesn't know how she is supposed to bury felicity. are there even bodies to bury? don't look at her, she is doing her best. it's been a few months at least so she is in less of a grief induced daze.

when she is not in the city proper doing awful shit like buying gravestones, she can be found in and around the shield base doing stuff. eating cheese fries whilst watching the madeline mccann documentary, eating cheese fries whilst watching masterchef, slicing a practice dummy to ribbons with her katana, practicing on the firing range with her pretty red bow.

every single time she returns from vegas she comes bearing pizzas because she has god damn standards. and lives like a ninja turtle. ]

[ draped across a couch in a very well appointed apartment that she is not renting from her not brother, thea tosses popcorn into her mouth. he is not her brother but there are enough similarities that she feels Something and it is probably messy and is going to get them both hurt in the end, but she is used to having a big brother.

this is a terrible coping mechanism, but she doesn't go to see dr. sweets so whoops. ]


I'm not saying they totally covered it up, but like JonBenet was totally a cover up.

[ this is the kind of sibling bonding oliver never got to have when he was a teenager. ]

[It's been... he keeps searching for the right adjective, but falling short each time. The default has been interesting, but at this point he knows that it's beyond that. It's not some curiosity that he's trying to uncover. This isn't something unknown anymore. This is something that's part of his life. The idea of alternate dimensions is fine. He's known about alternate futures and that seemed pretty normal -- considering. It's just he'd never considered that one of those alternate dimensions would mean he would be fundamentally different... on a cellular level.

He thought maybe in another dimension he'd be better equipped to grown a beard. (Which, apparently is true.) The thought of this other version of him being so completely different that they wouldn't even recognize each other... that their lives would be so contrasting?

He still doesn't get it.

However, he has gotten a sister out of it. Not anything he ever thought he needed -- let alone wanted, but as she continues to be this presence in his life, he wonders if this is just how things were meant to be. That this is the dimension where he has instant family from an alternate world. That this is the place where he gets to learn far more about his family than he had ever thought he'd have the chance to.

It's still been... unique. It's the adjective he's settling on for today, at least.]


By who? The police? Why would they have any reason to cover it up?

[ she nibbles on her popcorn, thinking. ]

Maybe the cops were friends of the family, wanted to protect the little boy.

[ it's a little boggling to her how little they resemble each other. she looked like ollie and tommy; the same coloring, the same eyes, the same ears, same chin, same nose. she can point out the parts of her brothers that tied them together. she can't do that anymore.

but oliver looks exactly like her mother and that hurts in a new and unfortunate way she hadn't anticipated. her mom would know what to do, moira queen always knew what to do. ]


My mom was blonde.

[He's actually deep in thought about a cover up. Trying to figure out why anyone wouldn't think that telling the truth would have been better. Of course, he's been keen on shying away from the truth to protect others... but not when an unsolved murder is on the line. Of course, her comment about her mother cuts his train of thought off sharply.]

Do you want to tell me about her? [He shifts in his slight slouch toward her more.] I didn't really get to know mine. [There's a vague hand gesture.] I mean, I was a spoiled brat that went to a boarding school. Aside from report cards and the occasional sporting event victory... I didn't...

[He stops.] I didn't know what I'd miss out on.

Mom was... complicated.

[ sometimes she was a monster, sometimes she held thea in bed while she sobbed, sometimes it was like she was so proud of thea she would burst, sometimes is was like she was only a disappointment. ]

Ollie was the golden child, which was ironic because he was a disaster, but when he and Dad died, vanished, it was like Mom broke. She didn't care, she let me do whatever I wanted and I wanted to feel close to Ollie so I became the family disappointment. She loved me, sometimes she was just bad at showing it.

[ she sighs out quietly. ] She died... because of me. But she definitely would have covered it up if I murdered someone, so maybe I kill JonBenet.

[ thea was 5. ]

Oh thank God, pizza.

[Cora needs something different than Caroline's comfort food, no offense intended to Caroline's cooking but sometimes you just need some good old fashioned grease, sauce and cheese.

She grabs a slice and says around a mouthful.]


Thanks.
withasouvenir: (♔ ur dumb)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2019-03-30 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ thea barks a laugh, shaking her yeah. ]

Yeah, the lack of food options here was getting to me too.

[ pizza is one of thea's food groups, she will go through withdrawal without it. plus it is necessary for morale. pizza party. ]

[personal profile] impetere 2019-04-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Don't get me wrong, Caroline is a great cook, but I've really wanted something with grease.

[And pizza fills that niche nicely.]

So thank you.

It is pretty much the best part about being back in the states. [ thea moves to set the box down so she can grab her own slice, all but moaning in happiness when she digs in. ]

I really liked London but there is nothing like a garbage slice from a hole in the wall where everyone's name is some version of Leonardo or Giovanni and they all sound like they're from Little Italy. In New York, not the Canadian one.

I've never actually met someone from the Little Italy in Canada.

Neither have I, but I watched a movie about it and Hayden Christensen takes his shirt off so it was excellent.

[ chef kiss. ]

Barry didn't seem to enjoy it as much.
impetere: (Default)

[personal profile] impetere 2019-04-15 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

Maybe Hayden just isn't his type.
withasouvenir: (Default)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2019-04-20 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
He should be everyone's type.

[ barold needs to get on her level. ]

[Cora wrinkles her nose.]

Doesn't really do anything for me either.
withasouvenir: (♔ um no)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2019-04-30 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Why! He's so adorable and dumb, I love him.
impetere: (Default)

[personal profile] impetere 2019-05-06 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs.]

Doesn't do it for me.

[Cora's type is ?????? so what does she know anyway.]
withasouvenir: (♔ nah)

[personal profile] withasouvenir 2019-05-29 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it doesn't matter because he's married anyway.

[ cora doesn't need a man to make her happy! ]

[Cora nods because true.]

That does put a damper on things.

Doesn't it? Come on, let's add Grease the movie to this grease fest.

[ greasy pizza + greasy haired john travolta, let's do this! it's movie time for thea and cora. c'est fini! ]
