[[ 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.]

[Surprise! Francesca's been meaning to visit Finnick for a while now and since she heard he was having a party, figured this would be a good time to stop by. It's that 'vacation' everyone keeps encouraging her to take. Besides, she's very interested in this life of luxury he's recently assumed and what all that might include. So, here she is.] Aren't you the life of the party?

[it's been awhile and he wasn't expecting francesca, so he lights up and drops his string like a hot potato at the sound of her voice.]

It's my party, isn't it? [he flashes her a cheeky grin.] What's the point of throwing one if you don't get to be the center of attention for a bit?

[socialgraces]

Touché. [She moves in for a quick hug before giving the room an appreciate sweep.] Even your descriptions couldn't have prepared me for all this. It's quite... overwhelming, I fear.

[65]

Isn't it? You get used to it. [he takes a second to reflect on that.] Which I probably shouldn't, but living in luxury is a familiar feeling to me.

[socialgraces]

From what you've told me, I believe you'd be the last person to think money could buy happiness. [It's a compliment and her smile makes sure he knows it.] So, I see things are going well and you've certainly been making some influential friends.

[65]

You believe right. [he gets up and starts slowly walking toward the bar. now is an excellent time for a drink.] That's why I'm here. Making all the right connections so we stick our noses where they need to be stuck.

[socialgraces]

I can understand that. [She follows him, always up for a drink.] Has it been worth the trouble? Although, I suppose the fact that you're still here means you must have uncovered something of interest.

[65]

Seems that way on both counts. [as he approaches the bar, he sets out glasses for the both of them and pours himself some whiskey.] Which is a lucky thing. I'd hate for all my hard work to be for naught, you know?
