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...

[It's awhile before Elena is taken to a healer, healed of her deafness, and then returned, and it's all a little...strange, honestly. Scary, too, because without their magic, she would have been deaf forever.

She's never been so thankful for magic.

Still, since she's had time to collect herself, she's all to happy to slide back into the whole arm candy persona. It'll be nice to be...someone else right now.]

Elly Banks. Finnick invited me tonight, you know, the dreamy one that sang first? The whole concert was amazing until the shit hit the fan, pardon my language. The lights went out, and then there was that crazy hostage situation. I mean, you saw it on television right? What a nutjob. Some asshole blew the speakers and I'm sure you heard about that. It was horrible.

[ roll a bluff check too plz \o/ ]

You're friends with Finnick Odair? How did you meet?

[notaroundme]

[Ahaha, bluff 7 <.<]

Oh, um, through Mary. Though she got kind of bitchy on me when Finnick started showing more interest in me than her.

[behindcloseddoors]

Is that the whole story?

[notaroundme]

Well, not exactly. I met him at one of the NOVA parties that she and I went to, but Mary would be pissed if she knew I had been flirting with him before they'd even met. Don't tell her, okay?

[behindcloseddoors]

She won't hear it from me.
