♬ The Hollow - A Perfect Circle

WHO || Wynn, Rose, Dimitri, Amrita, Lila, Aurelius, Tia, and Eric [Closed]
WHAT || Chicago Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the Round Table room
WHEN || Sun, March 24th, shortly before 5pm.
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's access card to open the glass class beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artworks depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already. Tia is there right on time, waiting in a seat close to the door. There's no sign of Wynn yet.

[It's a good thing Lila put her head down because all she takes away from that explanation is: Chicago. Chicago in America. Roughly a six plus hour trip by plane. A tiny, inescapable prison. Roughly, Lila's personal hell.

No.

After a moment she looks up and puts her hands in her lap. She doesn't say anything, but it's clear enough from how pale she gets and the way her fingers are digging into her legs that she is not okay with this specific idea. Maybe they'll just think she has a weak stomach, that would be swell.

She unclenches her fingers and swallows.] Does Chicago have any groups with specifically anti-Shadowkind sentiments?

[wynn]

Your job will be to end the threat: however you deem that necessary. [ to lila: ] There are always such groups, perhaps most notably several churches, such as the Brotherhood of the Enlightenment, who profess to believe Shadowkind to be beneath humanity.

[ Ahaha no, did not manage that save no, five will not help in this case and having the tact of a freight train will also not help. ]

Holy fuckballs!

[ Yep. She just said that. Loudly. Apparently just covering her eyes wasn't reaction enough to sudden blast of strong light right in the face.

This will be her hoping that she magically turned invisible all of a sudden, which might have worked since Wynn just gave them their mission?

... A mission she doesn't quite understand how she will be useful in. Great. This means she has to call attention to herself, which is just about the last thing she's wanting to do right now. ]

Um... Excuse me but... just how exactly are you expecting me to be useful on this mission?

[ Not that she's unwilling, she just... has a bit of a hard time fitting her skillset into the situation. ]

[wynn]

The yuan-ti are a race of hybrids, part human, part snake. Your study of reptilian behavior and biology will prove useful in determining whether this is indeed linked to them as the case was in Japan.

[Dimtiri nods, looking thoughtful as he soaks up all the information.]

When do we leave?

[wynn]

In about a week's time. It should give you time to requisition any materials you require.

[bittersweeter]

Is there like a packing list? [AKA what the actual hell materials will they require? She has the same question about how she's supposed to be helpful since the amount she knows about reptiles is roughly "ew", but she decides to ask Eric later.]

[wynn]

You'll want to bring weaponry, of course, and any tools you might deem useful for a murder investigation. The Dragon's Hoard can help you in selecting equipment.
