WHAT || The Knights act as bodyguards for a celebrity with a very unusual stalker...
WHERE || Massachusetts, USA

HOW || Actionspam

[ the pendergast manor is a sprawling sight, impressive even to those who live in the world's most ridiculously sized castle. the whole place has a sort of country club air, and white gloved butlers escort the little troupe of knights through the halls, past expensive paintings and all the other old money trappings. ]

Of course, dearest! [Phineas lets the bird hop over.] She's very well-trained.

[lastdragomir]

[ nbd Lissa is just cooing over this adorable creature over here. Whatever peasants. ]

[moonheart]

I'm sure that'll impress the locals. So are we ready to get this party started?

[bluffcheck]

That's not much up to us, is it? Our lovely hostess has yet to return in all her glory. [He glances between them.] Should we work out a sort of signal? A sign if we find someone suspicious?

[moonheart]

Like spilling our drink all over them!

[bluffcheck]

Perhaps something a touch more subtle, dear. [But his smile betrays how much he would love the idea.] A call to toast the girl?

[Thoster who taught you what subtle means]

[lastdragomir]

[ lissa looks up from the dove like oh right we're meant to be working. ]

Or we could text?

[celerystick]

[Clearly Sydney stayed behind with Solace for awhile or something (actually no i never had this tracked wtf), but here she is now, brows furrowed and frowning.]

What are you all doing?

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster opens his mouth to respond to Lissa when Sydney joins the group.]

There she is! Missed you desperately Sydney. We were just discussing the best way to alert the rest of the team if one of us finds someone suspicious. Lissa had a brilliant idea to text. I'm still not very good with those phone devices but if the rest of you like it, I'd be willing to try.

[celerystick]

They're still going to see you texting. It's a dinner party, after all, and it's rude to text when you're eating with company at a table.

[She thinks briefly.]

What if we just tap our index finger on the table three times when they're speaking if you notice something?

[moonheart]

I'm neverrrrr gonna notice that.

[bluffcheck]

Good thing I have no intention of leaving your side, lass. Between the two of us, we're bound to catch it. [Not that he is all that much more observant, but he does like the way this is going.]

[moonheart]

[ the doorbell rings and she perks up ] Guests?

[bluffcheck]

Show time. [Bard gonna bard. Thoster's pretty excited to play this part all night.]

[lastdragomir]

[ and lissa is just holding a dove, awkward. she hums a little uncomfortable noise and tries to find a plant to nestle the bird in so it looks like decorations. (spot 14) actually, more importantly... ] Phineas, we should, um... [ she waves a hand helplessly. ] Find you a toothbrush.

[moonheart]

[ faith grabs thoster's hand and pulls him down the hall ] C'mon! I can't wait to act all snooty.

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster laughs as he's dragged but he's getting his game face on.]

Anything for you, dearest.

[thesleeper]

[Phineas smiles a big, black-toothed grin, as he dismisses the conjured Dove.]

Tooth... brush... [He stares entranced at Lissa for a moment...] Oh! The black teeth... Never mind that, Precious! You're far too radiant for anyone to take notice of me.
