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.

[ The prettiest kitty knows those are the best scritches. She pretty much melts in Kenzi's arms, loves being treated like the goddess her kind was once worshiped as. More scritches, plz. She purrs as those orange eyes peered up at Kenzi, at the mention of her human, of course he appears in the doorway.

A small mew signals his entry.]


I think the jury is still out on the capnip, Kenz.

[ He replied, looking better than he has in awhile, but he's had to play adult with his sister in his care, he doesnt look sleep deprived or hung over.]

I don't need kitty heroin to make her love me. She has excellent taste, don't you Venus?

[ And for a moment there you'd swear that Kenzi were listening to a reply as she milks that sweet spot for all its worth. ]

Just the one Dacey? [ Her head shifting is if half expecting to see a wee one hiding behind his leg. ]

[ Venus purred, and pawed at Kenzi a little, she's very happy, go away pet human. The real queen of pets is here.]

Melody's sketching just down the hall, she doesn't talk much, but she's taken to her artwork. I figure when we get back to London or when things are less crazy I'll take her to Sweets or something, I don't know.

[ Mars had refused therapy, so he figured his sister would do the same.]

How are you doing, Kenzi?

[ She tries for a smile but it just looks, kind of sad honestly. As happy as she is to see that Mars has his sister back, it's hardly the best circumstances. ]

Mmmm. Never had much time for therapists myself.

[ She doesn't need some stiff with a degree to tell her that she's entitled to her feelings and help her move on. That's what booze is for. ]

Can't be much fun... stuck in a bunker without any other kids around. [ And Vegas isn't exactly the most child-friendly of places, either. ]

You know me. Still truckin'. [ Though it does seem she's sincere in there being nothing particularly wrong, outside their current situation. ] Adjusting to dorm life.

[ Okay so she's a little dry about that. She likes Natasha at least but that doesn't mean Kenzi doesn't miss her privacy, but she's had a lot worse. ]

Me either, but you and I both are pretty messed up. That's why we make such good friends. But. I want better for her, I gotta do better by her.

[ Venus was a lil jealous of new human in the group but she was just happy to snuggle Kenzi for now. ]

It's not, she's not happy but she's safe so she can hate me later. I'm sure she will anyway, but I'm doing the best I can.

[ He arched a brow at that.]

Come on, I know you, what's going on Kenz?
morethanasidekick: (Eyes Wide Say huh)

[personal profile] morethanasidekick 2019-05-02 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Moi?! [ Melodramatic as ever: As if the suggestion of her being messed up is utterly ridiculous.

Dude it'like fight club okay. We don't talk about it.

She's quiet for a long moment, considering Mars and the situation he's in. All the while offering Venus a respectable amount of attention - enough to engage her but not so much that she's likely to get overstimulated and try to nom on her fingers. ]


Then... we find a way to make it suck less. [ As if it could be that simple. As if just wanting to do it could fix everything. ] And she's not gonna hate you, Mars. Not really. You're here with her. Even when she doesn't show it? That counts.

[ She legit looks surprised by that and is quick to shake her head. ]

No, for reals. I'm good.

[ I mean. She had sex with Peter Quill. She doubts you want to hear about that. She's worried about Bo who is missing her son. Worried about Paige who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Missing Hawley and trying not to feel like he's another person to leave her, along with Katniss who is. Suddenly missing.

None of this is stuff she feels is wrong with her. ]


The whole, I went to Vegas and all I got was this stupid non-tan because I'm living in a Bunker, blows. But I can't complain otherwise.

[personal profile] charismapotion 2019-06-28 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you.

[ He couldn't even help the grin that crossed his face at the fact she tried to deny that at all.

Parenting books man, they say talk about it. And that's all he's reading these days. And yes she will nom and roll around for more belly scritches once it's to much.

He gave a slight shrug to the comforting words, but the knowing eyes of the sorcerer watched her. ]


You shot me Kenz, that's a intimate thing between friends, I know you because you mortally injured me. [ It was a graze with a barley noticeable scar.]

Yeah, this place sucks, but also, wow. You went to Vegas and didn't invite me? I'm hurt. Kidding, I'm house grounded until I can find someone to watch Mel, but come on, Vegas sounds fun.

[ Kenzi barely had parents and she didn't read books. She comes from the school of never talk about anything ever and if you do? Be sure to turn it into a joke so you always have plausible deniability. ]

Then you should know that I really am alright. [ She said pointedly, eyebrows raised. If somebody was dead, dying or homeless? Then maybe things would be different but Kenzi always found ways to adjust and survive. ]

I haven't even mortally wounded anybody in months. [ A wry grin playing across her lips. ]

Not yet. [ I mean she has by current timeline but not during this conversation << ] I was thinking about it though. Bo could use a night out and Paige... If anyone needs to embrace alcoholism, it's her.

[ She dug the idea of getting out of the bunker but she was also painfully human with a lot of very obviously Shadowkind friends. ]

I bet somebody here would hang out with her for a night? If you make it seem like she needs a babysitter, she's gonna be pissed. Just... find her a responsible adult friend to do something with?

[ Mars remembered his parents, and mourns the father that Melody will never remember, while fearing the mother whose still out there somewhere. He'd rather not remember, but he was 15, more than old enough to remember and be scarred. His dad had always been the mushy feely type. ]

And I know you well enough to know it's bull, but I wont push, just know, as your friend. I'm always here for you even if it's 3am and I'm dead ass asleep. Just wake me up.

And yet, you choose to mortally wound me, and I choose you as my best friend. Were kinda fucked up, huh? [ Had he ever called her best friend before? No, that used to be Adam but time and distance broke that one. ]

I don't know Paige, but maybe you should take them to your Vegas spot? It's an idea?

I could probably ask Faith, she's met Mel before, Mel likes her well enough, I could probably ask Grant to, but I'd feel awful asking the guy stuck rooming with us. [ The stress showing, he's terrible about guilt. ]

[ She is so confused because she is seriously okay and she's not even sure how to try and convince him of that... Thankfully, she's not going to have to.]

Best Friend? Really now.

[ Her tone is playful but he'd see that flicker of emotion in her eyes, the fact that it truly means something to her to gear those words pass his lips even if she does try to play it off with humor. ]

My Vegas spot? [ Laughter bubbling over. ] I appreciate the amount of credit you give me but I don't actually have one of those. Yet! I mean I have to because. Hi - have you met me, but I'm still, ya know... exploring my options.

[ By which she means Yelp reviews. ]

I'd say you should make Hasmed or Solace do it... but I wouldn't wish that on Mel. [ She's joking. Probably. ] Even if you don't come out with me. You do need to have some time for you, for Mel's sake as well as your own. Hell. I'll babysit if it'll get you to take a break.

[ I'm sure this is a great idea. Kenzi will either babysit Mel with Peter, with Tony Stark or both... what could possibly go wrong?! ]

Adam hasn't even called me back in like a year or more, so he's been demoted, you've always been a great friend since I came here. Were both fucked up, it works, ya know?

[ He explained his point of very with that tired almost pleasant air he usually fakes for other people, but he seemed more genuine at the moment. It was easier to be himself when he was around her. He didn't have to worry about his darkness leaking out. ]

Always exploring your options, I know. You'll find the very best one by the time I find someone I'm comfortable with babysitting Mel. No ones in a hurry here.

[ With Wynn gone everything seems to move slower, which means hes sad about the bad ass leader being gone but what can one do? ]

I spoke to them when I promised she wouldn't be in the way. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't half as powerful as I am, I'd still be at the castle.

[ He rose a brow at her at the offer and chuckled. ]

And come back to my sister learning how to take shots? Kenz, seriously, if I go out somewhere it would be with you or Astrid, maybe Faith, I dont know, I dont even know where I'd go. Jesus, I'm becoming my father.
