WHERE || SHIELD HQ (The Harbor), a desert location near Las Vegas, NV

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.

[succubestie]

Me too. I've got about 48 hours worth of memories from right before I got here and that's about it.

[She tilts her head.]

They're being honest with you about it, I hope?

[flyingsolo]

I've assumed so. Why? You think they'd lie about it?

[succubestie]

I'm not saying they would lie. I'm saying that people are biased and tell their version of the truth.

If they're people you can trust, then it's a non-issue. But you said 'other people' and not something more...intimate.

As someone who has barely any memories from home too? Don't take too much stock in what other people tell you about yourself.

[flyingsolo]

Honestly? They couldn't tell me much.

My dad's here. But when he left his galaxy, I was just a baby.

[succubestie]

I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. Probably both, considering the circumstances.

[She hooks a thumb at the wall.]

I do know you have good aim, though.

[flyingsolo]

One thing that doesn't seem to have left me. I know that I was trained, before I came here. I don't remember much of anything about by who ... or how...

[succubestie]

Yeah, me neither. I've got a couple days of memories from right before I got here, and that's it.

But I didn't exactly have a family there either so I like to think of this as a good way to start over.

[flyingsolo]

Is that something you remembered? Not having a family?

[succubestie]

I remember telling people that I didn't know who my parents were, yeah. And I know that I had been on my own for a while.

Beyond that? There isn't much.

[flyingsolo]

That's not it feels for me. I feel like I ... had people. Who were important.

Dad says I had a twin brother. It's weird, knowing that you used to have that bond, but not really feeling anything.

[succubestie]

The best friend I never knew I had showed up here. At the castle, no less. Everything about being here is kind of weird, really.

[flyingsolo]

Did they remember you?

[succubestie]

[Bo nods.]

She remembered that we were best friends, at least. I remembered meeting her, but I fell through the Veil shortly after that. Either way, we'd both lost enough that it felt a little like starting over and we ended up in the same place. Together.

[flyingsolo]

Some people seem to think that stuff happens for a reason. The gods... or maybe the Force.
