[ Yesterday, members of team failboat went to the bayou hideout of the mysterious woman known only as "the Mind Master", on some intel from the captured Olean Gilbert. What they discovered was a very bizarre woman, who played mind games with them, and seemed to evince little concern for their interference. Another man, whom may have been Chad Becksworth entered, and told her that "Decker" was finished stalling and all was in readiness... The two of them fled before the Knights could get much information from either of them, and set a hideous creature to attack them: which appeared to be the result of a Frankenstein-like scientific process that sewed a human woman together with a giant snake.

The next day, another team of Knights infiltrated NOVA HQ to hack into appointment records and discover the names of those intended to meet with Chad Becksworth. Just as they downloaded the list, the scheduled meeting attendees arrived: it seemed they were meeting today, and the Dragon's Claws insisted that the younger Knights retire to the hotel, where all will be able to monitor the meeting onscreen as they spy on it and broadcast video. Knights' allies (Des, Rafael, Elena) are invited to watch as well. ]

[ This log also covers any shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans, immediately following the last logs and extending over the next three weeks, when the next exciting shit go down.

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.]

[bigbad]

No. [Not exactly, anyway. Maybe a part of him wishes he could be like that, but it's not who he is. He's all right with that. Most of the time, anyway.] Just... like seeing 'em happy, is all.

[postergirl]

So all that hard vampire exterior masks a warm, nougat-y center, does it?

[bigbad]

[He glances over at her with a half-hearted smirk.] Don't tell anyone. It would destroy my reputation.

[postergirl]

It'll be our little secret.

[bigbad]

[He raises his mostly-empty glass to her.] To secret soft sides.

[postergirl]

[ she tips hers against his ] Don't tell me you're going to start writing ballads next.

[bigbad]

[He shakes his head, smirking at her as he takes a drink.] I prefer sonnets or freeform, honestly. Or the occasional limerick.

[postergirl]

Well, you're just full of surprises. A vampire with a soulful side. How very Anne Rice of you.

[bigbad]

[He makes a face.]

Not Anne Rice. They can't shag.

[postergirl]

[ trying not to laugh ] So there is blood pumping down there, hmm?

[bigbad]

There really is. [Who knows how. Magic.]

[postergirl]

I suppose it would't seem right, after all, with all the sex appeal vampires have, to make them be nothing but a cocktease.

[bigbad]

Also I'd miss it. [Not that he actually remembers ever having sex before oops.]

[postergirl]

The idea of being a monk holds no appeal, hmm?

[bigbad]

Yeah, you don't hear about a lot of vampires becoming monks in general. All those holy objects, you know.

[postergirl]

Well, if you're going to go the full masochist route anyways...

[bigbad]

Right, monks're into that sort of thing, aren't they? Wonder if that'd make me more holy, somehow.

[postergirl]

It might leave some holes, at least.

[bigbad]

[He glances over at her, somewhat amused.] That was awful, love.

[postergirl]

My specialty. [ she looks back towards rafael again, where he's... talking to buffy now, yep ] So what's your read on all that?

[bigbad]

[Spike frowned, making it all too clear how little he approves.] Not going anywhere. He's too hung up on his amnesiac ex to notice her.

[postergirl]

Banking on that, are you?

[bigbad]

[Maybe.] Why should I care?

[postergirl]

Oh please. It doesn't take a very keen eye to notice you fancy her.

[bigbad]

[She may have a point, but Spike scowls anyway.] She doesn't seem to have noticed.
