It's over. After months of being sidelined by the trial of their friend Rafael, the Knights are finally free to return to England and see what headway the Dragon's Claws have made on discovering the location of the Talisman they seek.

But not everyone is so free to return. The consequence of getting Burt's assistance in disentangling Finnick from his contract and super-stardom was an ironclad agreement that allows Burt to sink his claws fully into Rafael's career. Considering that Burt knows their secret identity, non-disclosure agreement or not, the executive's renowned moral gray-itude doesn't exactly make it seem like a great plan to back out on the compromise.

They've at least been able to put off their goodbyes for a few days since the end of the trial, as Burt invited all of them to New York City for the opening of his brand new nightclub. Some of them flew out, while Archer and Des presumably drove their matching El Caminos cross-country in the days between. But now they've all met again in the Big Apple, for a celebration - and farewell of sorts.

Only with my sparkling wit and a devil may care attitude masking a heart of gold. [ no but really, her bow and sword aren't exactly compact and easy to conceal. but as much as she's apathetic concerning her own personal safety (except apparently in regards to blade, who knew), she isn't so when it comes to elena and finnick. and she lifts her skirt a little to show the knife straped to her thigh like a garter of pain. ] I have pepper spray in my bra.

[ poor isabella to be stuck with these two. ]

[65]

I am. [gurl you are crazy if you don't think finnick went republican after the concert. SHIT COULD GO DOWN AT ANY TIME.]

[ vincent comes back with nadia in tow, who, interestingly enough, is sporting an ensemble with spiderweb patterns on the shirt. luthir glances through the door beyond her shoulder when she's entered, nodding at vi as if to say it's all clear behind her, but he stays out there to watch as vincent closes the door. nadia glances around at the three of them. ]

Where are the rest of you?

[graveflowers]

We sold their organs on the black market to bankroll our excessive alcohol consumption. Did you know that bone marrow is worth, like, millions of dollars? Lots of scotch. [ sob. she's just so out of fucks she can't begin to pull back her flippancy. ] Nice shirt.

[65]

[let finnick ... help vi out.] They're around.

[SO INFORMATIVE.]

1/2

[savemyself]

Whatever it is you have to say to the others, you can say to all of us. [ she moves to stand beside vi. ]

[coldheritage]

[ she shifts, eyes narrowing a bit. ] The girl. [ her gaze drifts out the window pane. ] The one who went by Mary. I'll talk to her.

[65]

She's gone. [he looks and sounds so pathetic as he says it one might even interpret him as meaning that she died???? pull it together, finnick. (he won't.)]

[graveflowers]

[ vi glances at finnick briefly, reaching over to squeeze his hand. ] She's not here, right now. But you are speaking to her sister, so I'm pretty sure I'm the closest you're going to get.

[coldheritage]

I suppose you can take a message, just the same. [ still, she's frowning, as if that wasn't all she'd had to say. ] Blade wants to see you all, and Giovanni. He's in town, owns a club here in the city.

[graveflowers]

[ her reactionary scowl is immediate, fingers tensing. ]

Of course he does. [ wants to see them, owns a club, who knows. ] Why?

[coldheritage]

I didn't ask. I just know he wants to talk, sometime before dawn.

[graveflowers]

[ what time is it now? she glances at her watch, spares at glance toward the stairs where everyone had ventured down to get hammered. oh yeah, that's not gonna happen. traipsing over to blade's club with half the team sloshed is not a plan she ever wants to see put into action since she's 9000% sure that only archer can do his job better drunk than sober. ]

As much as we appreciate the offer, I'm going to need something more than my creepy stalker's lackey "wanting to talk".

[coldheritage]

[ ♬ entwined - lacuna coil

she looks askance at the floor, a completely empty smirk catching her lips. ] Well, that is all I have to say. It does not matter to me whether you take him up on the offer or no.

[graveflowers]

Then why did you want to give it to My-- Mary, specifically? [ she just barely catches herself, but she is really not used to calling myri by her groupie name. ]

[coldheritage]

Maybe because I feel like I can trust her to relay it to the rest of the team.

[graveflowers]

[ idk man, the secrets in this team. she holds up her phone, pretty sure that kat used her own to break someone's face because of the radio silence. ] Well, trust me, they'll find out. Sacramentum militare -- scout's honor. [ she affects a little salute. ]

[65]

[meanwhile during this conversation, finnick gets a text on his phone. COULD THIS NIGHT BE LOOKING UP? HE ACTUALLY ... ALMOST ... LOOKS HAPPY.] I should probably go find Archer ... I think we're having a penthouse situation.

[coldheritage]

I suppose I will leave you to that, then.

[graveflowers]

Super, everyone's leaving. [ :| she sticks her tongue out at finnick because she's five and because with her wis 22 she fucking knows. ] If you do it without me I will murder you in your sleep. [ a beat as she looks back at nadia. ] I'll tell Mary you said hi.

[65]

[he sticks his tongue right back at her. maturity, they have it.] You can always come with me.

[graveflowers]

Naw, I'm no fun right now. Just don't leave without me. [ she gives him a little shove. go forth, have fun. ] And if you find Gar or Kat send 'em my way.

[savemyself]

[ as nadia heads back out with one last lingering look towards the window, isabella regards the door with lips pressed together tightly. ] We should tell the others, perhaps.

[graveflowers]

Probably, but I doubt any of them are sober.

[65]

Yeah ... it doesn't seem like a promising situation.
