[[ Several of the Knights discovered a secret room hidden in Nova Headquarters, full of strange occultish paraphernalia and guarded by monstrous warriors. Amid this was direct evidence of an interest in the Talisman. They also took captive Chad Becksworth's personal assistant, Olean Gilbert, who has information about the location of the mysterious woman that Burt told Finnick about - the one whose presence has had a major effect on Chad's personality. Olean doesn't even know the woman's name, calling her the "Mind Master", and identifying her as Chad's 'advisor'.

The Knights also discovered that the other Dragon's Claw, Sir Jack Chessing, had followed his own secret mission to Nova Headquarters, and he'll be meeting back at the hotel with them to explain what brought him there...

This log covers any non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans, immediately following the last log and extending over the next two weeks.

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.]

[ oh right, says raf's face ] I signed a contract with Signore Becksworth. It will give me access to the building as well. But it is only a temporary arrangement. I do not plan to follow through on creating an album for him or staying with the company. I do not desire to be a part of NOVA.

[postergirl]

Ooo, planning to break a contract. [ dumage smirks from where she sits next to a tense mark ] A really bad boy you brought home. [ she tosses a wink at buffy ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri nods to Kat.] I can alert you or Mark if I see him.

[slay]

Rafael ... [ there's vivid concern painting her expression, too distracting for dumage's snark to really pierce her. she looks around like maybe she shouldn't, but if anyone in this room's gonna get away with questioning with him, it's her - lbr. ]

Was that such a good idea? I mean, we know these guys are mixed up in complete and utter badness, what if they've got ways of. You know. Making you? Like ... like a magic contract. I mean, obviously physical mafia-esque enforcement would be a lost cause, but ... [ she's worried. she's stupidly worried because it's a little too late to ask these questions, and she knows it, but she has to point it out. ]

[bigbad]

[Ugh, gross, does she have to go so moon-eyed over the guy?]

I'm sure they'd have mentioned that in the fine print.

[romanticidal]

[ he locks eyes with buffy, and there's a fatalistic acceptance in his expression ] I'll do whatever it takes.

[witchwoman]

We'll need to break Finnick out of his contract whenever it's all said and done. I'm sure we can make sure Rafael is taken care of as well.

[finnick is just kind of glancing back and forth between buffy and rafael like GOLLY I WISH SOMEONE THOUGHT OF THIS MAGIC CONTRACT SHIT BEFORE I SIGNED ON. (he's too tactful to say anything like that out loud though.) thx4nothing, des. ]

[casually:] A dramatic staging of my death may have been discussed.

[postergirl]

Maybe the two of you can make a romantic suicide pact.

[slay]

And that's the sound of a million teen girls' hearts breaking across the country. [ her worrying expression doesn't fade, and her gaze doesn't leave rafael's face, despite the casual air to her quip. ]

[bancroft]

Even magical contracts can be broken, if it should come to that. Not without some difficulty, but nothing we couldn't manage. We'll make sure both our boys emerge safely - you need not worry about that.
