briefing ♔ there's solace a bit for submitting | to the fitfully cryptically true

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Solace, Thoster, Faith, Phineas, Ruvaen, Sydney, Lissa [Closed]
WHAT || Massachusetts Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the Round Table room
WHEN || July 12th, shortly before 10am
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 keycard to open the glass case 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 artwork 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. Solace is already there, waiting patiently in a seat directly to the right of where Wynn usually sits.

[Wow Sydney looks pretty uncomfortable with this plan.]

I thought the point was that we didn't want to be associated with one another if something happens...

[lastdragomir]

Maybe we could just go as pairs, dates and-- [She glances at Solace.] --father and daughter. Or father and son, depending on how the couples are paired. That way we would be able to mingle more easily to cover more ground and while one is talking to get information, the other could be listening and watching? [She has gone to enough functions with Rose at her back to know its a kick ass way of getting information gathering and she's seen Guardians in pair formation so many times that duos seem to be her common fall back for these situations.] Not to mention that it is highly doubtful this woman would want anyone to show her up at her own party, which I am sure you boys would. [Diplomacy 32.]

[wynn]

Sir Dragomir may have the better grasp of how to avoid being identified as a group. [ just a little friendly wynn advice ] That way, in the event one of your covers is discovered, the others may still move unsuspected.

[bluffcheck]

Oh, fine... Take all the fun out of it! [He says while laughing, then gives Faith a glance.]

You and me, Tambourine?

[moonheart]

My fake name is Lady Daisy Vondrazledorf. [ i think that means yes? ]

[thesleeper]

[Phineas looks between Lissa and Sydney... Damnit, Thoster.]

I... suppose I could be someone's date?

[He says, somewhat resigned]

[lastdragomir]

You can be mine, if that is okay with Sydney. [She looks at the other girl in question: do you want to be Solace's fake daughter or whatever?]

[celerystick]

Oh, sure. That's fine.

[She actually looks super relieved because what is dating.]

[thesleeper]

[The last person he wanted to get paired with, after the snubbing upstairs...]

Great. Glad we got that sorted out.

[He fakes a smile.]

[wynn]

The engagement is not for another month, but I wanted to give you all plenty of time to establish your identities. She'll explain more upon your arrival at her manor.

[thesleeper]

Well... now that we've got that settled... [He leans toward Thoster] want to go scrounge up some trouble?

[bluffcheck]

Well, how could I say no to that?

[Bros 4 lyf]

[thesleeper]

I'm... I don't think that I'm welcome back at the old man bar. [At least not if that Drow is there...]

Where shall we go?

[He whispers...] Should we make this a "teambuilding" thing [He indicates the ladies, overlooking old man Solace.] Or, should we... sample some of the other local flavors?

[bluffcheck]

[He lowers his voice to match.]

It would be terribly rude not to at least invite them, don't you think?

[thesleeper]

I suppose, pending how the night goes, we could potentially do both...

[bluffcheck]

I knew I liked you for a reason. [And he looks back up at the ladies in the room, because why would he even wait for Wynn to leave before he starts the party.]

Ladies! My good friend here has come up with a fabulous idea to continue building our camaraderie over a few drinks. What do you say?

[sirsolace]

[ have you ever seen someone eyeroll without actually moving their eyes? it is an ancient art, which is why only old people can do it.

that's solace. rn. ]

[moonheart]

We can work on our cover stories! [ did you even have to ask, really ]

[thesleeper]

R...Right. That's what we were thinking.

Practice makes perfect, and all that.

[celerystick]

I think I'll pass.

[:|]

[bluffcheck]

[Cannot have a more enthused grin right now. Even Sydney's debbie downer attitude cannot stop this party from rolling out.]

Your loss, lass. If you change your mind, give us a shout.

[lastdragomir]

I'm in. [What, even princesses have to get their drink on sometime.]

[moonheart]

Aw c'mon, Syd! Team bonding night!

[celerystick]

[Anyone looking can see the way that this is so totally not something she really wants to do, but it's Faith and she's supposed to obey her orders or something, right.

So finally, she just looks resigned.]

Alright, fine.

[She's totally going to be an awkward turtle. And wear something totally stuffy.]

[moonheart]

That's the spirit! [ she gets to her feet, and slings her arm through thoster's ] C'mon, lead the way!
