It's been a long time since Team Failboat's been all together, but that doesn't mean the team members have been idle. Rafael & Finnick have been working hard to refine their show and record their albums - and if they don't pull off the show of a century, NOVA records will fall entirely into the hands of the sinister Chad Becksworth and his evil Shadow-hating cabal. In the meantime, Myri & Elena have acted as members of their ensemble to keep an eye on the villains' movement at NOVA's New Orleans Headquarters - but there's been suspiciously little to indicate that they're doing anything but gearing up for their own "Back to the Fans" tour, which will be launching concurrently in Miami on the same night of Raf & Finnick's concert in Chicago. Myri & Kat attempted to interfere with the recruitment of Nadia Reichenov by Keijen Blade and Decker Greenwall, and while Myri seemed to have made some impact on the girl, she still chose to join them, and where her allegiance lies remains unknown. The other members of the team have been intermittently set out on missions to destroy the other labs across America where Chad's scientists have been conducting hideous experiments on Shadowkind, splicing their DNA with that of humans. Gar has been hard at work in the lab, unraveling the mysteries of the mind control chip they'd created. Jack and Thomas have been probing the defenses of Andres Isle, where the Talisman is rumored to have been taken by the sinister Dimitris Sarandis, Prime Minister of the Isle and member of the dark cabal. Meanwhile, Des has been babysitting Jade after her club was destroyed by Chad's forces, so that she can join Rafael and Finnick onstage at the concert.

Now everyone is en route to Chicago, where the impending concert is tied in with the opening of the brand new Chicago skyscraper office of NOVA Records, where Burt is planning to move his end of operations, further symbolizing the growing divide between the feuding brothers. Tensions mount in these last few days as final preparations are made.

Probably a lot like a carpenter during a half-off sale at Home Depot.

[borrowedheaven]

It seems like it'd be exhausting. I wonder if there's ever been anyone he actually cared about.

[nothingsodivine]

Considering him and his brother? Yeah, I wonder that too.

[borrowedheaven]

You have to wonder what makes a person like that in the first place.

[nothingsodivine]

I'm guessing Mommy Becksworth didn't breastfeed either of them.

[borrowedheaven]

See, I was sort of guessing she smoked six packs a day and spent a lot of time in county jail.

[nothingsodivine]

And dropped the boys off at the movies every day until they got it drilled into their heads that showbiz would ease the pain.

[borrowedheaven]

It'd almost be a sad story if he didn't seem physically impervious to garnering sympathy.

[nothingsodivine]

The worst part is I bet they both had a very nice privileged upbringing. Some people are just rotten.

[borrowedheaven]

Maybe once this show is over, you guys won't have to see him much more.

[nothingsodivine]

The worst part is? I might almost miss the colorful bastard.

[borrowedheaven]

What are you going to do after this is all over?

[nothingsodivine]

The same thing I always do. [He grins.]

[borrowedheaven]

Push everyone away again? [ SAID IN THE MOST LOVING WAY POSSIBLE, she kids, she kids ]

[nothingsodivine]

I was gonna say go back to the Ponderosa, but... [He rolls his eyes and tries not to laugh.]

[borrowedheaven]

It's good to have options.
