WHO || Mark, Dumage, Kat, Gar, Buffy, Spike, Myri, Martha, Arthur, Finnick, Des [closed]
WHAT || All work and no play make Knights stir crazy. Various downtime shenanigans.
WHERE || The hotel / all around New Orleans / at the bar / in an alleyway / ETC
WHEN || Various dates during the course of May
HOW || w/e you want, bb

[ This log covers any non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans. Because we haven't finished out the other two logs yet, assume some time has passed since then, in case anyone was injured, so that they've had sufficient time to get better.

As for work stuff, you can assume they've been busy with establishing Finnick's fake rock star cred, and investigating some of the intel they'll uncover in those other logs that we haven't quite gotten to yet. JUST DON'T TALK ABOUT WORK and all will be well.


Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.]

How many of his Knights would follow him in a power grab? [Spike shrugs. He doesn't think Wynn has evil intentions, but really, none of them know. And Wynn sure has secrets. World domination could very well be one of them.]

[slay]

[ she's ignoring this wynn paranoia and turning to mark. ] You think there's like a ... wielder requirement or something?

[witchwoman]

Perhaps now isn't the time to talk about such things so... freely?

[Guys. GUYS. We're in a bar and there are other people here. It's not the cozy hotel room. Bitches can overhear you.

It's like you've never tried to remain hidden before. Myri is the queen of flying under the radar and this conversation makes her uncomfortable.]

[65]

I'm with her. [he gestures to myri with his glass.]

[bigbad]

Who'll overhear? It's so noisy I can hardly hear myself.

[slay]

[ they make a point. buffy glances around, then shrugs, quieting and looking down into her drink. ]

[witchwoman]

Believe me, [She tosses at Spike with a worried look] There are times when even the unsaid isn't impossible to overhear.

[king]

[ Arthur gives Myri a long stare. ]

What's that supposed to mean.

[shootfirst]

Right. Secret mission. [ She makes a zipping motion across her lips ]

I guess we need to hang out in public more often so I actually get used to that.

[rationalizes]

[Meanwhile, Gar is actually paying attention, and also look at Myri, though with some concern. ]

Something you've experienced in your world?

[slay]

Is anyone else's brain feeling way violated by this concept? [ she's half-raising a hand. ]

[65]

[what the fuck is it with you people and exorcisms and brain rape ... ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri keeps her gaze on Arthur, not wavering at his stare. Even while looking at him, she addresses both his and Gar's question.]

Witchsniffers... Blood priests... among others.

It is amazing how the very thing that is feared and hated among the ignorant can be used to track you down like an animal.

[She finally pulls her gaze away to the others.]

You'll forgive me for being excessively careful. I've lived while looking over my shoulder for too long to think that anywhere is perfectly safe.

[bigbad]

[Spike reaches over and squeezes her shoulder.] We'll not let anyone or anything hurt you, love. Even if they do eavesdrop on our brains. But we can change the subject, if it helps.

[shootfirst]

And considering the kind of people we might be going up against, she might be on to something.

[65]

People are going to be eavesdropping on our brains?

[rationalizes]

We have telepaths in our organization. It isn't unthinkable that they do as well.

[bigbad]

[Spike frowns.] Do we eavesdrop on other's brains, then?

[slay]

Only when we have reason to. [ she recalls talking to said telepath. ] They don't enjoy being up there any more than we enjoy them doing it. [ she reaches over to put a hand over myri's because she opts for more subtle reassurance than spike and doesn't want the rest of the group to see her thinking myri needs the consoling. there's a fleeting look of sympathy, then she's back to business. i hope myri enjoys her parents :| ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri loves her parents, okay. She glances at both of them, lifting the corners of her mouth into a smile. It's been a long time since she had anyone to worry about her. And despite the fact that she's fine and only wanted to use her past to help her present, she appreciates the sentiment a great deal.

She'll keep quiet for a little while, though. She doesn't want to bring the group down. And she honestly doesn't know the logistics of thought reading- just that it exists.]

[postergirl]

[ dumage gives a cynical snort at that ]

Of course, that's what they'd say.

[slay]

[ there's a hard scowl that dumage gets for that. ]

I know a liar when I see one. Tell me, does it ever get tiring being suspicious of everyone but yourself?

[65]

Is that because you can read minds yourself, or ... ? [his tone isn't curious, it's snitty. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING PARANOID AND DISTRUSTFUL OF EVERYONE X( ]

[slays]

[ for your snitty tone, you get a Look in response, finnick. ] No. But, this paranoia doesn't help anyone. If we can't trust each other, then we have nothing.

[bigbad]

But you can't know, can you? It's not like the mental invasion goes both ways.
