[ 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.]

Sorry, pet. No insight one way or the other there.

[slay]

Yeah, well. Maybe nix the China plan, I guess.

[bigbad]

If you're in it for the food, there's always France.

[slay]

France is good! Closer, too.

[bigbad]

Right, right, just across the English Channel. Could get there in no time from the castle.

[slay]

We can check with Myri tonight, see if she's interested.

[bigbad]

I'm sure she will be. Hopefully she'll even be able to drag the boy away.

[slay]

If not, we'll just have to do it again after we've got the Talisman and closed the book on all of this.

[bigbad]

Oh, just that? [Can you tell how doubtful he is of that happening any time soon? He's a little doubtful.] Better start packing my bags now, I suppose.

[slay]

Well, it's not like we can just take a snap vacation mid-mission. [ she sounds annoyed. his pessimism aggravates her own, and she doesn't like thinking about it. she likes forcing optimism on herself. ]

[bigbad]

Maybe we can find a lead in France. They've got music there too, right?

[slay]

You do know we're not actually just studying up on the music industry, right?

[bigbad]

[He shrugs, smirking at her.] Maybe they've got Shadowkind music in France.

[slay]

They've got that everywhere, too. Well. Almost everywhere.

[bigbad]

You're missing the point, love.

[slay]

No, I'm not. The point is that lives depend on our mission and we're not gonna throw them away because we want to go to France.

[bigbad]

I'm not suggesting we do. Just saying, there's no reason not to look for missions where we can save lives and see the Eiffel Tower. If the opportunity arises. [Also he was at least partially joking. He wouldn't bugger off to France mid-mission either. But now he's arguing too much to back down.]

[slay]

Mostly 'cause we don't pick our missions. We get chosen. That's the way it works.

[bigbad]

[He scowls down at his sushi.]

Meant it as a joke anyway.
