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.

Hey, it's not Gar's fault half the people here should be heavily medicated. And clearly aren't even a little bit so. [ yeah, jumping in before gar can get upset, because she sure raised her eyes from cleaning up the gas, looking horribly distraught. MOVING ON BEFORE GAR CRIES. ] I mean Des came in here babbling about how we're all being controlled by like, alien overlords or something, pretty sure.

[Archer tilts a glass in Kat's direction.]

Well, maybe more of them should self-medicate, eh? [And he grins, as he takes a drink.]

And hell, maybe he's right. I mean, we just poof into this world randomly... Why not alien overlords, I say. Makes more sense than that "magic" nonsense people keep going on about.

I hate to break it to you, but I'm pretty sure that 'magic stuff' is real, Archer.

[Seriously, dude, you've had plenty of time to come to terms with that.

And she'll just...snag that doughnut after taking a long sip from her drink. And yes, she totally makes a face. She's not used to taking it straight, you know.]

[isisagent]

[Archer comes to terms with things at his own pace. Which is to say, potentially never.]

Oh, but aliens are not?

[Archer raises his hand up.]

Show of hands - how many of us have been into space? Anybody? [Notably leaving out that he saw absolutely no signs of alien life while in space himself.]

[notaroundme]

Who knows? Maybe they are. I haven't met one yet, though.

[And driiiiink. Also, damn, these doughnuts are delicious. Nothing like drowning sorrows in booze and sugar.]

[socialgraces]

They used to think we were aliens - those that came through the veil. Apparently that's easier to reconcile than magic, as Archer, here, has so aptly demonstrated.

I'm sure this predicament with the Grays holds a similar, more reasonable explanation. [ she takes a drink ] Although it's not something I have any particular interest in delving into.
