Never a dull moment.

The night of the funeral was certainly eventful: as expected, some of Chad's goons appeared at the cemetery, apparently in search of the buried necklace, and the Knights barely managed to escape with their lives thanks to the appearance of a giant dune-winder worm at the beck and call of a necromancer. Yep. The other team had their own share of adventure at the hotel, and though they couldn't get Nadia to leave with them, they did establish contact, and swiped Decker Greenwall's mysterious hourglass artifact from his room at Dumage's prompting. They also ran afoul of a doppelganger in the employ of the other side, who prompted Elena to begin questioning exactly who or what she might be...

And of course, they finally met with Rafael's lawyer, a last minute replacement for Burt's usual guy, who had met with an unfortunate skiing accident or... something. Jeggred 'Jaka' Teken'Duis, and his brother Nym, garnered a great deal of suspicion from the team from the start, although Jaka seems entirely confident that he can get Rafael off on a temporary insanity plea. Either way, he's agreed to help them look for clues to try to illustrate Chad's role in events at the upcoming trial, and suggested, to that end, breaking into his Chicago office, one of many not-quite-legal suggestions he hinted at during their pow-wow.

All those Knights who are looking to assist him are meeting up with Jaka in a parking garage a few blocks away from the NOVA building, at his invitation.  In fact, he's already there, leaning against his car, when they arrive.

Good enough for me.

[He clicks the lock button, but hits the wrong one, and the hydraulics kick the front end way up.]

Oh, uh... Still getting used to this, hang on...

[BOOP! Another button. The front end dives back down, but the car also starts playing one of Archer's favorite songs (And also, his ringtone...) *BLACK ASS MOMMA! WHITE ASS DADDY! MULATTO BUTTS! MULATTO BUTTS!(Link for your listening pleasure...)]

Son of a bitch here!

[He presses another button, and the car song stops, and there is a satisfying "beep beep" as the car locks.]

Alright, let's get this over with, eh?

[ Dawn wanted to continue that 'feeling useful' thing and sneak into the office, but... eh, she supposes Des has a point. It would probably be easier to play off the gaggle of ladies with the creepy lawyer guy and Archer.

Of course, given that he just made his car practically jump rope and blare that obnoxious song, she's having doubts about having him stick around. But that decision is probably above her paygrade. ]

I don't even wanna know what the hell that was. [ She pinches the bridge of her nose. ] The sooner we start, the sooner this is all over with.

[ jaka's judgment as he stares at archer's ridiculous shenanigans permeates the entire parking garage. ] I see your friend enjoyed the fey wine.

But yes, we should proceed while it's dark. Those who'll be going inside should go on ahead, and we can follow shortly, in a few interspersed groups, yes? [ someone can... make new threads on this post for those things \o\ one for group a, one for group b ]
