♬ 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. ]

[Spike is, unsurprisingly, watching telly. He gives a frustrated shout when it blinks out, then wanders into Kat's room, looking puzzled.]

Think the hotel blew a fuse or something. All the lights went out.

[shootfirst]

[ meanwhile kat is laughing and tipping her chair back, a ball of magic light dancing on her palm ] It worked!

[bigbad]

[..... okay that was a little bit too supervillain for Spike's tastes.]

...was this your fault? Because they were about to give the results on Dancing with the Stars!

[shootfirst]

Oh cry me a river. That's what the internet's for. It'll be back in four minutes.

[bigbad]

[IT'S NOT THE SAAAME.] What did you do? And more importantly, why?

[shootfirst]

It's a new spell! I wasn't sure if it was gonna work because I learned about it on one of these underground technomage sites and you can't believe everything you read on there. Some of them are major trolls and you'll find yourself doing a spell that animates all the objects in your room and makes them sing "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Basically it's like a functional EMP.

[bigbad]

[That's pretty cool, but Spike doesn't have to admit it. He's still cross.] Guess I should be glad it didn't destroy the entire bloody block. Can't always trust the internet. [YOU MIGHT END UP DATING A DEMON ROBOT.]

[shootfirst]

I've got a pretty solid rapport with the guy who posted this one, so I could always have gotten back at him if he'd been fucking with me.

I know where he logs on.

[bigbad]

Mages. Are you all completely bonkers?

[shootfirst]

Kinda happens when you mess with ancient primordial power on a daily basis.

[bigbad]

That... explains a lot, actually.

[A beat. He's missing his show and it's Kat's fault, so he'll take advantage of the time to ask her about magic stuff. He hasn't really paid much attention to it up til now.]

So can you do spells for free wifi and stuff like that?

[shootfirst]

Sure can. It's not an on-the-go spell I know, but there's incantations for it if you're going to be settled into a spot for awhile. I always use it at our hotels if they don't come with a wifi connection.

[bigbad]

[Okay, now he's impressed. Because that is awesome.]

That's much better than rabbits and hats.

[shootfirst]

[ she chucks a wad of paper at his head and it lightly doinks off his bleached hair ] Is that what you thought we did?

[bigbad]

No, I thought you exploded potions.

[shootfirst]

[ THWACK on the arm, hard. 6 subdual damage... ]

[bigbad]

[RUDE he can't even hit back. Luckily he's more amused than anything else.] That your way of saying I have a point?

[shootfirst]

I thought it was pretty clearly saying 'watch your smart mouth'.

[bigbad]

Can't help being clever, love.

[shootfirst]

Is that what you call it? I think that bleach is going to your brain.

[bigbad]

I'm not worried. Less you mixed up the bleach. [Though speaking of...] Can you do that? Make magic hair dye?

[shootfirst]

Thinking of taking up some black arts yourself there, Spike?

[bigbad]

Oh, yeah, me. The wizard Spike. That'll happen.

[shootfirst]

You could think of it as diversifying your portfolio.
