[[ 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.]

He's the reason I wound up with the Knights in the first place. I was looking for a way to make sure he got what he deserved. But then he slipped right through the cracks, just to show up like this, where I can't touch him.

[witchwoman]

The others won't just let him go, Kat. They can't. But we aren't here to murder a man... no matter how much he might deserve it.

[shootfirst]

So what are we going to do with him, eventually?

[witchwoman]

I'm... not certain. [She admits, looking down briefly.] I don't know how things work here in regard to that sort of thing.

[shootfirst]

Maybe he'll get locked up in the dungeon back home.

[witchwoman]

Locked up is good. Locked up where he can't hurt anyone else.

[shootfirst]

Wynn's not big on playing jailer for very long, though.

[witchwoman]

So we use the time we have to come up with a better plan. We'll think of something. [She reaches out and grabs Kat's hand and squeezes.] Together.

[shootfirst]

[ she glances over at the hand ] It's probably a good thing you're your own Knight now. This isn't exactly great mentor behavior.

[witchwoman]

[Myri smiles warmly.] You're handling it better than I would. All the times I've been faced with the man who wanted me dead, I simply fled.

You fight- for your life, for your future, for the sake of others. I think that might fit the mentor role, don't you?

We teach each other different things. We help each other... because we're family.

[shootfirst]

... I'm not a big hugger, but I might make an exception if you promise not to tell.

[witchwoman]

I wouldn't tell a soul.

[shootfirst]

[ huuuuuuuuuuug ] Well, good, cuz I'd have to kill you.

[witchwoman]

[Myri just laughs and hugs her mentor warmly. When she pulls back, she tilts her head.]

Would you like to come back inside, or do you want me to leave you to think some more?

[shootfirst]

I'm not sure I'm done with the loner brooding yet.

[witchwoman]

Okay. [But her smile remains.] If you need anything, I'll be upstairs.

[And with that, she will leave Kat to her brooding and will be a million times less worried about her favorite mentor.]
