briefing ♔ getting colder and colder the leaves are turning over

♬ Leaves - Ours

WHO || Wynn, Violet, Reynard, Robin, Koraith, Luthir, and Belle [Closed]
WHAT || Brazil Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the Round Table room
WHEN || Mon, March 25th, 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. Luthir and Koraith are already there, super first to arrive, and sitting next to each other on the left hand side of the table. There's no sign of Wynn yet.

Comments

[koraith]

[ as luthir side-eyes vi and gives her the tiniest nod of greeting and recognition, the dragon-man lets out a very boistrous: ] Good afternoon! Lovely to meet you, dear, and to see you, Robin, as always. Excited to see some action, are we?

[faeconman]

[ Robin lets out a quiet laugh, amused both by Vi and Koraith. ]

I'm certainly curious.

[smugfox]

[Reynard strolls in a little late (Lateness +3) and finds a chair near the others, sitting down and repressing the urge to pull his legs up. Sitting like a civilized person, he could do that. The grandness of the room alone makes him want to somehow work against the intimidating impression.]

Did I miss something?

[untethered]

[ there's one last slightly chagrined voice from the entrance as belle walks through and chimes in: ] I should hope not, since I fear to ask what they would mean I missed, arriving after you.

[graveflowers]

You missed me walking into a chair, that was good entertainment value.

[wynn]

[ annnd as if he was waiting for everyone to arrive, the doors on the far side of the table open, an incredibly bright golden light pouring out that's almost temporarily blinding to those who look directly at it (Fort save 16). When the doors close, Wynn is standing there, looking around at all the Knights gathered on the far side of the table. ]

[smugfox]

With you arriving after me, Sir Belle, I'm sure neither of us missed anything. The day can't start until the sun arrives.

[So, yes, he's forgetting about how he hadn't meant to and pulling a leg up now, to rest his chin on his knee and turn to Vi.]

There's a reason to hurry next time. Do you plan on upping the performance at the end?

[Is he supposed to stand up when Wynn enters? All he does know is that his eyes hurt and he has to cover them with his hand, because of course he tried to see past the doors.]

[faeconman]

[ (fort save 19) Robin manages to not get the blinding light right in his eyes and thus feels no discomfort, much as he might privately think that Reynard isn't the only one in the room that's putting on a little too much of a show.

Subtlety, anyone?

The look he gives Wynn however is just one of respectful attention. ]

[wynn]

As you're all gathered, I thought we might get down to business.

[graveflowers]

[Welp, Vi can see but just barely. (Fort save 16.) How rude.]

Sunglasses. Just a suggestion. What's on the agenda, oh fearless leader?

[smugfox]

[Reynard grins at Vi, appreciating her quip, especially in this atmosphere.]

That's what I'd like to know. And where.

[wynn]

You will be heading to the Atlantic Forest, located in Brazil, South America. The rainforest has been facing illegal deforestation efforts, which are not uncommon in and of themselves, unfortunately, however this case is a bit unique.

It seems their 'work' has disturbed an area of the rainforest where dryads have made their home, and a result, they're recklessly slaughtering nature spirits with no regard for the life they snuff out. You will need to find way to halt their efforts: temporarily at first, before the forest dwellers start fighting back and we turn this into a war. And then you must find a more permanent solution, perhaps negotiating with the company responsible, to make them understand what they are doing and why it must end.

[faeconman]

I'm not saying that I'm suggesting it, but is sabotage to be considered an acceptable option should the situation call for it to make the company temporarily cease what they are doing?

[ Yeah, he's totally suggesting it. ]

[smugfox]

Maybe you're not saying that you're suggesting, but I think your unsaid suggestion seems like a good way to go.

Only if the situation should call for it, of course.

[graveflowers]

[Violet was going to suggest just violence (the term deforestation basically activates her earth warrior mode) but sabotage seems better. And since she thinks is grand, she's kind of dubious on whether is actually is or not.]

I'm all for personally kicking the asses of anyone that isn't a beaver cutting down a tree, but since I like it and my track record for good plans is complete crap, I'm going to have to say this is one of those "one does not simply walk into Mordor" moments. Like, maybe sabotage can be Plan B.

[wynn]

As always, I leave it to your collective judgment to assess the situation and come to a consensus on how best to proceed. You must take whatever actions you believe to be necessary to prevent more bloodshed.

[smugfox]

I think first we should just try to find out what the people there are like. Then we can decide how best to get to them.

[Among these people, maybe Reynard is actually the one most prone to plotting before acting.]

[luthir]

I imagine we could conduct some research on the way there, or, at the very least, perhaps find someone to ask about their character when we arrive.

[faeconman]

It seems to me that the situation would require rather a lot of on-site investigation. Hard to judge much of anything from here.

[koraith]

I'm afraid you're quite right. We'll have to keep our wits about us when we arrive!
