[[ 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.]

Depends on the life. [ she sighs. ] Rafael, everything I know about my life before the Veil just makes me more and more positive that I don't wanna know about it. I like the life that I have - that I've built, that I've chosen since I forgot. If someone took that choice away from me, I - [ she stops, pursing her lips and shaking her head. ]

Yet, you did not know her before. While you say you like this life, I know she is not happy with what her world is now, no matter what she protests. She is much like your friend Kat in that... she is a private person, defensive, but the more her walls are raised, the more unhappy she is within them.

[ he sighs ] You think me a villain for continuing to hope things will change.

[slay]

I don't think you a villain, I just think ... I think you might be seeing what you want to see. You want her to be unhappy with this life so it'll justify trying to give her memories back to her. And, that's not wrong - but it's not necessarily what's going on here, either.

[romanticidal]

... We shall see, I imagine. What matters is that she remains an object of attention to dangerous men, and whatever she remembers, that will not change that I will do what I can to keep her from harm and discover what they want.

[slay]

Well, I'm not sorry to have you on board, that's for sure. No matter what got you here. [ actually she's a little sorry jade got him here. but only in the most selfish of ways. ]

[romanticidal]

I would be nowhere else.

[slay]

[ that gets him a smile, and she nudges him a little as they walk. ] Not sorry to hear that, either.

[romanticidal]

Well, it is a nice break from the work we do in Italia.

[slay]

If what we saw there's any indicator, it's not that big a change in pace.

[romanticidal]

That was something of an exception to a rule.
