chicago ♔ it’s a tragedy to be left only with memories
WHO || Failboat and friends [Closed]
WHAT || As the trial drags on, the Knights spend their last few months in Chicago and tensions mount
WHERE || Various locations, Chicago
WHEN || November 21st - The end of the trial?? [Back AND Forward dated]
HOW || Actionspam, don't sweat tag order
Everybody loves a media circus and the trial of Rafael Giovanni is no exception. If he was famous before, in the days following the shooting, now he's all people are talking about, and all the tabloids want to focus on. The complications presented at some of the early hearings by Jaka, regarding the identity of the Black Scourge and Rafael's alleged reaction have only made the story more appealing to the millions watching.
They've also caused the trial to drag out for months as facts are checked, evidence is poured over, and the jury becomes only more split on the issue. In the meantime, the holidays fly by, and one of the most terrible winters in years blankets Chicago in blizzards.
This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in Chicago, immediately following the last log and continuing for the next couple months. This will be the Knight's last time in Chicago before the trial: after which they plan to return to the castle to fully Knight Violet and Elena and decide where to head next.
Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.
courtroom bathroom ♔ for des
right over his shoulder, without so much as the sound of a door opening behind him, he hears her voice, not entirely devoid of gloating. ] That was quite a show in there. You're sure you want to miss the next act? Can't look at what you've wrought?
no subject
AND THEN AZRAEL.
He whirls, hissing when he hears her voice, pressing his back against the sink.] Real precious, Linda. What can I say? You just got this way of making me sick to my stomach.

myri | ota - closed section for finnick
===
[At some point, Myri finally tells herself that she can't be afraid of having a conversation with the man she loves. She waits until they've gone to bed, not wanting to make a fuss about pulling him away from the others. She doesn't want to make a fuss about it at all, but Buffy said that she should tell him how she felt, tell him about her concerns. She just hopes that she doesn't come to regret bringing it up at all.]
Finnick? [She closes the door behind them, hands twisting in front of her.] I was hoping... I'd like to talk, if that's alright?
no subject
What's wrong? [he sits back up, bc needing to ~talk~ is never a good sign you don't need a sense motive roll for that ok.]

violet | open
faded.
she spends her time in her room (or finnick and myri's, tbh), curled up in bed and trying to convince herself it's okay to exist. she can't sleep, she rarely bothers to turn the light on, and the only reason she showers (because what is the point, she's not going out) is because she can cry in peace. she exists in a cocoon of blankets and a million layers to protect her las vegas blood that is not equipped for cold, watching hbo and the reruns of boy meets world on mtv2.
sometimes she ventures into the kitchen. because food. ]

She's made herself comfortable in Vi's nest of blankets, leaning against her friend slightly as they spend some quality time in silence.]

elena ; ota ; potential doppelganger shenanigans
Still, one week, Elena has a bit of extra spring in her step and a brighter expression, as if she has a secret that she hasn't quite told anyone yet.
Someone learned something new, something that she can't help but be excited about, even if parts of it kind of suck. Like the pain or the fact that it would probably creep most people out. She's still proud of herself either way.
She spends most of her time out in the common areas, watching tv in the living room or making coffee in the kitchen.]

closed ♔ for gar
I'm not sure how much we should delve into the drow House involvement in all this, or if it's merely inviting more trouble we're ill-equipped to handle. That's why I wanted to defer to your opinion on it's significance, as team leader.

But he's not gonna sit by as a car starts towards her. He jumps down and shoves Myri back to the curb and out of harm's way (str 25), managing to gracefully leap out of the way before the car can run him over either (reflex 28).]

Boredom makes the Archer... something... something.... (OTA)
[Today is no different, any Knight around the hotel might hear the distinctive noise of a lamp shattering - which, honestly, it's shocking that it wasn't broken by now anyway - followed by shouting;]
MERLIN! what the hell, man! Stay in the zone and clamp it next time! Jesus! It was only a sub shot! Guard your weak spot, for fuck's sake!
[He is dressed in full Lacrosse garb, and across the room near the shattered lamp sets a makeshift goal of sorts, and the curious rabbit-like creature Archer "adopted" a while ago while out binge drinking. Beside it sets another Lacrosse Stick, leaning lazily against the goal.]
You're never going to make the cut, if this is the best you've got, MERLIN ok? So get... your frickin'... HEAD IN THE GAME!

jaka ♔ (ota).
right now, he seems distracted by something on the news, a report about the drow house baenre here in chicago... who live and work out of a gigantic building in mid-town - where they were found slaughtered this morning, in various states of mutilated and decapitated throughout its many floors. the newscaster goes on to explain that months ago, baenre was investigated by the police after they received a warrant to search their home due to evidence that suggested they were keeping dangerous Shadowkind monsters on the premises and using them as attack dogs. many of these creatures were found, along with illegal drow drugs, illicit magical artifacts and more, that sent many members of house baenre to do hard time, drastically cutting their numbers.
jaka watches all of this with the tiniest, most self-satisfied smirk ever on his face. ]

Myri (post break up) OTA (but also seeking out Gar)
She has a conversation that she feels like she needs to have in order to feel like she can have a better idea of what her options are from here. She finds Gar likely hen she's doing some sort of reading. Quietly, she approaches, happy that no one seems to be around.]
Gar? I was hoping we could talk, if you have a moment?

OTA } Just after the trial, single thread only
When everyone exits the courthouse, they'll find Des is nowhere to be seen. His car isn't outside and, for all practical purposes, he's just hightailed it and left shortly after he finished on the stand.
When the gang returns to the hotel, they'll find him in front of the minibar watching the television, which is showing highlights of Rafael's breakdown and discussing the allegations of Jade being a super assassin. His expression is neutral as he stirs the contents of his screwdriver with a spoon. He pauses, sticks the spoon in his mouth, and then acknowledges the group without looking away.]
I'm the Black Scourge. Really, Blondie?
no subject
the minute she hears his voice, buffy turns around and only glares for as long as it takes him to get words out. she closes the distance in an instant and throws a sharp right hook (atk 36, dmg 18) and follows it up with an elbow IN THE FACE (atk 26, dmg 12). ]

OTA; most scenarios intentionally vague for your convenience
[For those of you who have not been exposed to Des's bottomless stomach, he is presently at a cheap all-you-can-eat buffet with six empty dishes laid out to the side and working on his seventh.]
[Option B]
[As the days wear on, Des has mostly brushed off what happened at the trial- the Grays were called, the clusterfuck he caused isn't that important (to him), so he acts like nothing is wrong most days. Today, he can be found at a table in the hotel, cleaning his revolver. Mmmm revolver.]
[Option C]
[Des probably takes more long walks than anyone should and the fact that there's generally nothing shady about his walks (you know you've considered tailing him- don't lie) would make anyone wonder what's on his mind so much that he's taking in so much nature. He circles the parks, he people watches from benches on the street, he stops in bars. Sometimes he stops and talks with people- people he knows from working here. It's all fairly innocuous.
But eventually he's going to catch on that you're following him. You jerk.]
[Option D]
[Some nights Des comes back to the hotel late (out walking or boozing or eating) and collapses into his room without bothering to kick the door all the way shut. And on some of those nights, you can hear him murmuring in his sleep. (listen checks)]
no subject
Myri decides that maybe she needs some tea, maybe that will help. But on her way to the kitchen, she turns as she hears something coming from Des' room (listen 28). Walking closer, she notices the door isn't latched and places a hand flat on the wood to press it forward an inch or so. She's just going to check on him, that's all.]

a note on the table | one thread?
To my family,
I'm sorry. I feel like I should start with that before I go any further. I've gone back to the castle. After everything that we've all been through, I wish that it didn't need to be like this. I know I should have said something, but I didn't think that I would be able to face you all. I have to do this for myself, to try to learn to be stronger.
Take care of each other. I'm counting on you to keep one another in one piece in my absence.
Please know that I love you all.
-Myrilandel
