♬ Happy Birthday Song - Andrew Bird

WHO || Thomas, Jack, Gar, Kat, Dumage, Mark, Myri, Buffy, Finnick, Spike, Rafael, Des, Elena [Closed]
WHAT || Various downtime shenanigans
WHERE || Various locations, New Orleans
WHEN || Sunday Nov 18th, night through Mon, November 26th, 2012 [Backdated]
HOW || Actionspam, don't sweat tag order! Feel free to threadjack everywhere too :)

[ The last mission was something of a mixed bag: while Thomas' team successfully infiltrated the underground levels, discovering the truth about Chad & company's diabolical experiments grafting human DNA into Shadowkind in an attempt to make their human mind control technology work on Shadow, the team searching for the relics ran afoul of Iscariot agent, Alexander Anderson. The deadly regenerator was there to kill Rafael, but Jack held him off long enough for the others to escape. Meanwhile, Finnick and Myri learned some interesting information about the state of affairs at NOVA Records...

This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans, immediately following the last log and extending over the next week. This will be the Knight's last week in New Orleans before they return to the castle for the holidays / do some other filler things so we can catch up to the rest of the world chronologically. (except for characters who have IC reasons not to).

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. There will be a few group scenes, which I'll alert everyone to on Plurk. They may not all be posted immediately, so keep an eye on this post for new threads as time goes by. ]

I would have used the word 'woman', but the Americanism will suffice, yes.

[slay]

[ between the boost that the word woman invariably gives, and the fact that he really really means that, pride swells in buffy's expression in the form of a slow-building smile that reaches her eyes. they prickle, growing glossy, and she decides it's as good a time as any to hurl herself forward and throw her arms around jack's neck, pulling him into a hug that he'd better deal with one way or another. ]

[dragonsclaw]

[ he doesn't seem to see it coming at all, and looks totally thrown off as he's drawn into the hug. but then he relaxes and returns it with polite warmth, before drawing back and squeezing her arms. ]

I'll take that as your acceptance?

[slay]

No way. I was only in it until you saw how good you had it. Now, it's sayonara and hello greener pastures. [ buffy rolls her eyes, socking him lightly in the arm. ] Of course it's acceptance.

[chessing]

I'm entirely relieved. [ /gentle sarcasm ] It's been an honor to be your Knight, and I'll remain at your service even after you've been made official.

And I still intend to take you to meet Hellsing, if you're bent on that course.

[slay]

If they're half as crazy as Iscariot, you won't hear a peep of protest outta me. I'm sure Anderson's a hit at parties, buuut considering what a great start we got off to, I'm not ruling out fighting our way outta any meeting with Hellsing.

[dragonsclaw]

As entertaining as the thought may be, I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with them either.

[slay]

Not picking, but if we happen to stumble into one, guess who has two thumbs and won't be surprised? [ her pointer fingers both shoot back towards her in an emphatic gesture. ]

[dragonsclaw]

They're somewhat better on that front than Iscariot. [ somewhat. ] You could say we're grudging allies.

[slay]

See, you say that like it's s'posed to be reassuring, but it's the 'grudging' part I'm worried about.

[dragonsclaw]

I think most of the grudge lies between Wynn and their top ... agent, so to speak.

[slay]

Wynn has grudges? And here I thought he was way too zen for the concept.

[dragonsclaw]

When one lives for a very long time, I would think it unavoidable to stir some antagonist sentiments here and there.

[slay]

Guess so. [ she seems to consider it a moment, then nods. ] Maybe when we go back to the castle, we can make time for a trip. You and me.

[dragonsclaw]

Let's count on it.
