Rescuing Rafael could have gone much worse... And then did, when Rafael, desperate to feel alive and free again, got himself into a car accident. He came out of it alright, but injured, and they headed back on a plane after a whirlwind wedding had happened the same night between Dean and Rose, which Elena and the fiendish version of Sam had dropped in on - as well as Bobby Singer. After the madness of that night, Jack sent word back to them that if they had any family that they wished to keep safe, they could bring them back to Krozna. Rafael and Isabella insisted on picking up Giorgio, Nellethiel, and their children, Giulia and Pietro. Alainn picked up quite a bit of family as well - her adoptive parents and siblings from Ireland.   They return to Krozna together, where everyone can get acquainted and recover from the ordeal of their close calls in New Orleans before pressing forward.   There would be months for them to train, and the pace of life in Krozna to settle in, far from the chaos of the rest of the world.  

The date is now quickly approaching for the upcoming meeting at the "Darkhouse" where they hope to acquire more leads about the dagger that was used by Blade in the ritual to kill his father, Malaak'a.  

This log covers all social things for Failboat between the first social log and the Darkhouse (months worth of time skip).

winter }

[Felicity returns from New Orleans with nothing so exciting as a wedding or a returned love, but she does come with a backpack full of booze for her to ration out over the coming months. It's not that she's an alcoholic, but she's also easily bored. One pilfered romance novel was not going to cut it.

Besides. She needed to make sure her alias cards were still working.

Other than that, Felicity's just trying to establish a bit of a routine - she works in a little training and trips down to the town nearby, trying to get to know the locals. By the time summer comes round, she's still going to get a little stir crazy, but that's a problem for summer Felicity to worry about.]

spring + summer }

[Somewhat warmer weather means Felicity's spending a lot more time outside, with outdoor runs and other training adventures. Summer also means Felicity's birthday, which brings it's own joys and adventures. Though, it's kind of hard to throw yourself a party when a good chunk of the people you want to be celebrating with aren't there (or may think you're dead).

Still, never let it be said that she can't make her own fun, because she will walk into the middle of the Failboat oriented common room and hold up a couple of bottles of the good shit.]

It's my birthday, I'm playing a dumb drinking game. Who's in?

wildcard }

[Anywhere, anytime, anything, come at me. Single thread for the drinking game, but otherwise have at her or hit me up if you want a more specific starter.]

for vi }

[klep]

[When she returns from New Orleans, Vi is her first stop after she gets settled. She pokes her head into her room, rapping lightly on the door frame nearby and offering her a small smile.]

Hi, honey, I'm home.

[Figuratively speaking.]

[graveflowers]

[ vi looks up from some miscellaneous art project for the girls and abandons it immediately to leap up and gather felicity in a hug. she's smiling so no one must have died. ]

Is Rafael...?

[klep]

[She returns the hug just as eagerly. Hugs are just going to be a thing now when one of them manages to come back to safe. She leans into it, before pulling back with a nod.]

He's okay. Pretty beat up, and probably with some brand new mental scars, but he's alive.

[graveflowers]

Is anyone hurt, I can...

[ no, myri's here still, vi isn't necessary. she brushes aside her own beginnings of a question. isabella will be back in their shared room soon enough if she can leave raf's side. vi wouldn't blame her if she didn't. ]

Are you okay?

[klep]

[She nods. She did take some damage, but nothing a good nights sleep couldn't fix.]

I spent most of the time in an air duct. Worst I got was a little temporary deafness.

[graveflowers]

[ vi strokes her hand through felicity's hair, thrown a bit by the differences she is still getting used to. same height, silkier hair. ]

Good, you're not allowed to get hurt for a little while. I need a breather.

[klep]

I will do my best to make that happen.

[Because she doesn't actually enjoy getting hurt.]

Also, we, and by we I mean Sam and his big research brain, did some digging into the knife that was used during the ascension and there's a new goddess in the mix. We can't say her name, so I am calling her "quesadilla" and doing my best to make it stick.

[graveflowers]

First of all, I love that you call her Quesedilla, it's sticking, that's it, that's her name now, but I totally don't know any goddess whose name even resembles Quesedilla. No, that's a lie, there is Circe. She could double for a delicious melty cheese tortilla but for some reason I don't think she is the one. No offense to her, turning men into pigs is a great endeavor.

[ all that to say that vi needs a teeny bit more to go on. ]

[klep]

Not Circe. I also think she goes by Mystra here.

[Apparently Felicity was researching stuff with Lila once upon a time? (knowledge 20 total) Who knows.]

But she's the goddess of Despayr? With a capital D and a weird fancy spelling that replaces I's with Y's.

[graveflowers]

[ vi jots that down. ]

Sounds... horrific, [ she decides with a big fake smile. ] I hate replacement letters. Fucking Kardashians of gods.

[klep]

Agreed.

[It's the actual worst.]

But they think they've found a guy who happens to have the knife we need, so we're probably going to wind up infiltrating their group at some point.

[graveflowers]

The knife that he used for the patricide? Well, that's a lead. I like a good lead. You came home with a half-elf and a lead. That's awesome.

[behindcloseddoors]

[ no more is felicity unloading the clinking bottles from her backpack than a voice pipes up from the entrance to her room. it's the young son of rafael's friends, nellethiel and giorgio, who they picked up on the plane ride back. he folds his arms and looks at her skeptically. ]

Are you gonna drink all of that?

[klep]

[Felicity turns around to glance back at who the voice belongs to, before giving a small shrug.]

Not all at once, but we might be stuck here a while. And I was going to share.

[But not with the kids, this is a 21 and older adventure, sorry Pietro.]

[behindcloseddoors]

Mammina and Papa brought some too. From the vineyard. It's probably better than that. They'll share if you ask.

[klep]

I will keep that in mind.

[Because sometimes you might just want a wine night with your girl.]

Maybe we could even trade. Sometimes you want different drinks for different things.

[behindcloseddoors]

I'm only supposed to have it on special occasions. But we are on vacation.

[klep]

[Felicity eyes him, as though she's trying to gauge his age, before shaking her head.]

I'm not the arbiter of special occasions, kid. You'll have to confirm with the parents.

[She will not be getting underage kids wasted at this time.]

I'm Felicity.

[behindcloseddoors]

[ he looks a little disappointed, but he'll live ] Pietro.

Where are you from?

[klep]

New York, by way of London.

[She smirks.]

Though I've lived a lot of places.

[behindcloseddoors]

Anywhere really cool?

[klep]

I lived in Hawaii for a couple months once. It was for work, but I was living on the beach.

[So she didn't get to explore as much as she would have liked, but the weather was lovely.]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ he looks thoughtful for a second before he says: ] That's an island, right?

[klep]

[She nods.]

Whole chain of 'em, but they're close enough that you can boat to most of them.

[Or take a really brief plane ride.]
