Nothing is okay.

What was meant to be the Knights' triumphant collaborative effort to cut off Chad Becksworth's bid for total control of NOVA Records, allowing them to follow the trail elsewhere, has descended into chaos. Rafael's songs triggered some kind of reaction in Jade that allowed her to regain her lost memories, only to have their reunion cut tragically short by the actions of a hitman who took her hostage on stage, demanding her necklace. While Myri and Violet attempted to convince him that the necklace did not lie with her, Jade signaled to Rafael that she meant to utilize the distraction to break free - but things went out of control and Rafael's bullets struck Jade instead. The Knights felled the hitman, as the world watched, and Rafael begged a distraught and enraged Des to end his life. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure that only Buffy & Spike could see assisted Myrilandel in healing Jade enough to hang on for a little time more...

Time for people to say goodbye.

In the meantime, the police have arrived, arresting Rafael, Archer, and Des (or attempting to), and preparing Jade to be taken to the hospital. Everyone else is being ordered to head outside to be taken down to the station for questioning. It's a hectic scene, but people can finally snatch a few moments amid the chaos to try to make sense of what just happened...

[ morrison motions to an officer standing by who offers her a box of tissues. he waits a moment before pressing on. ] Several witnesses claim that wasn't the end of your involvement on the scene. And we have you on film climbing on stage with Jade.

[witchwoman]

Well, yeah! She was shot and nobody was doing anything. [She takes a tissue and dabs at her eyes.] All the guys were screaming at each other and she was just bleeding out. What was I supposed to do?

[behindcloseddoors]

It was very brave, considering that man was still there and others had weapons drawn.

[witchwoman]

Thanks. I just... wanted to help.

[behindcloseddoors]

Others claim that you spoke up to the assailant when he was looking for something.

[witchwoman]

I don't know what he wanted but he was going to kill her for it- and probably the rest of us too. I thought if he was distracted, that someone on stage might be able to... I don't know, knock him out or something.

[Most of that is true. But in order to keep up the persona, she has to bluff, so a new check of 16 is what she gets for now!]

[behindcloseddoors]

But you have no idea what he was actually after?

[witchwoman]

[She shakes her head.]

No. [Which is true as far as I know as a player... Jade and Myri never really talked for her to make any assumptions about what the guy could have been after.]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ true story. he seems satisfied anyways, and moves on ]
