WHERE ||Various, Chicago
WHEN || July 5th, 2013 to the funeral
HOW || Actionspam

[ Following a long night after returning from the hospital where Jade finally passed away, there remains a lot to be said and done.

As Burt struggles to deal with the legal side of things, Francesca begins to head that way across the ocean in order to help the Knights do the same, and to help Finnick leave his celebrity life behind somehow. Violet takes the full weight of responsibility for planning the funeral into her hands, and the others continue to try to cope with what's occurred, and slowly put the pieces of information that they have together.

But many of them are still reeling from the revelations of the last few days, or carrying their own emotional burdens. Des continues to keep the truth about Jade's last words to himself as he deals with losing a woman he'd come to love, and faces up to a now uncertain future, thanks to a deal struck with Iscariot. Myri worries deeply about the potential fate of Violet, who's been considering hunting down Keijen Blade on her own, and her concern causes another small rift in her relationship with Finnick. Buffy finally reaches a point of breaking down over her conflicted feelings for Rafael, as Elena assists Archer in completing a giant fireworks bomb for reasons unknown.

This log covers the events leading up to the funeral, which means it will most likely cover a day or two or three. We will use it to make threads for any and all events occurring during this time. ]

Probably nothing, since we were talking about me.


...Speaking of, what's your deal, exactly?
Why's a girl like you packing heat when my "mentor" isn't.

[shootfirst]

A "girl like me"? [ tread carefully, sterling ]

[isisagent]

Uh...Don't really have a follow up for that.

Just like a... turn of phrase. But, I guess if I had to put a name to it... Young-ish girl, little irritable, armed and/or dangerous, relatively attractive...

[The wheels turn slowly]
Tsundere? Is what the Japanese would say.

[He sips his bloody mary.]

[shootfirst]

[ she furrows her brow a little as she seems to mull over whether to be offended or take that as a compliment. in the end, she looks satisfied with the description. ] I think you just answered your own question.

[isisagent]

[He grins, as he takes a bite of his "Eggs Woodhouse"]

Fair enough... [He eyes her a little suspiciously] You know... you were an awfully good and/or lucky shot, to be able to disarm Double D from that kind of range.

And... I don't know you, so you didn't train with ISIS.

Are you like... Ex-KGB? Former Stasi?

[shootfirst]

[ she looks kinda super proud of being suspected of being ex-kgb, actually. ] Community college, actually. That's all the training I had before the Knights.

[ she takes a gulp of her "breakfast drink" ] I put a spell on the bullet. I'm a mage.

[isisagent]

[Archer stares at her, as though she's mocking him.]

Wait. You mean... like a Magician?

[shootfirst]

Not if you mean the David Copperfield kind that makes the Statue of Liberty disappear.

I'm talking about real magic. Witchcraft stuff.

[isisagent]

[I'm reminded of how ignorant Archer is of Kat helping him get past security...]

So... You're a... witch?

[shootfirst]

I like mage better.

[isisagent]

Uh... huh.

You're not gonna like... Turn me into a newt, or anything, right?

[shootfirst]

Depends on whether you try to call me Kitty again. Ever.

[isisagent]

Hostile work environment.

Alright, Kat. Sheesh.

[shootfirst]

Thought so. [ and she's gonna take her bloody mary and... ollie out towards the doorway~ ]

[isisagent]

[Archer's just gonna sip his Bloody Mary until she's clear out of the room, before making what may be the most hypocritical remark of all time.]

What's wrong with these people?
