♬ winter winds - mumford and sons

WHO || Wynn, Buffy, Spike, Finnick, Myri, Violet, Des, Luthir, Anastacia, Faith, Gar, Kat, Mark, Tia, Archer, Rafael
WHAT || Following Vi and Luthir's wedding, plans unfurl to help free Vi from the grasp of Malaak'a...
WHERE || The castle/various
WHEN || June 7th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

The wedding is a welcome respite from the trauma that's been haunting the castle lately, but after the evening of escaping from their cares (mostly...) passes, they're left to face the harsh reality of what waits on the other side.

Dimitris Sarandis desires the Talisman team to come to Andres, and it seems that Wynn means to answer his demands, if only to gather some intelligence by sending the team in. Before they can do this, however, they seek to finally break the influence that the dark Malaak'a, drow god of nightmares has held over Violet for the past year. It seems that Keijen Blade has offered a warning to some of the Knights in their dreams, however: that following through with this plan, offered to them by the elven goddess of dreams Sehanine and her daughter Eterna Jade, will end in blood. Unwilling to watch anyone die for her, Violet was quick to protest following through, and her wedding night was darkened by pleas from her husband Luthir, who convinced her to go through with it.

Her friends are still uncertain of her decision, so they plan to discuss it with her today.  Wynn, however, will be calling together those going to New York for two separate missions:  to help Violet with the aid of Des' unicorn friend, Nick, and to gather further intelligence on Keijen Blade.   It seems as good a place to discuss matters as any...

Well, that would seem rather obvious, wouldn't it? Blade is Shadowkind. They want to lord over Shadowkind.

He's clearly getting something of his own out of this, and it's likely they're promising him immunity to whatever they have planned.

Well duh...

[wynn]

Do you have any questions?

[bigbad]

I got one. [Spike glances around.] Where're Buffy and Elena?

[witchwoman]

[Myri's been distracted by trying to focus on being happy. She looks up and over at Spike, suddenly concerned. Mostly for Buffy. Elena she could understand, but Buffy should be here.]

[graveflowers]

Italia was only here for the day. She's probably bringing him to the airport, maybe she's stuck in traffic. [ burt needs his moneymaker back, mkay. ] Have you tried calling her?

[ her eyes cut to rose, but vi doesn't seem too worried about elena past all the worried about elena she is in general. if elena was in trouble rose would know. she's pm elena's personal bodyguard. ]

[bigbad]

I texted. [He holds up his phone with a shrug.] Thought someone might've noticed if I was calling.

[Not that texting is subtle when you TELL EVERYONE.]

[graveflowers]

They're probably busy saying goodbye [ WITH THEIR TONGUES. MOVING ON. vi raises her hand. ] So, this unicorn play, I'm gonna call it the Hail Mary, no offense the unicorns in the room for being a nonbeliever. But um... we're not going back to Des' shit hole, pardon my french, boss. 'cause no. I'm not going back there just to get some communicable disease yet unknown to man kind. Just... putting that out there. On the record. I'll burn it down.

Well, I don't have a home in New York anymore, but I do know a few places that might let us in. Of course, there's the danger of ... dragging in someone else who doesn't need to be endangered if we do so. It may be wisest to simply ... deal with the amenities as they stand, at ... Mr. Starkweather's. [ it's clear hard for her to say that instead of AT THE UNICORN'S UNICORN HOUSE ]

[graveflowers]

[ SUCH A DISGUSTED FACE. ] His cockroaches are the size of rats. I don't even want to think about how big the rats probably are. Can't we get a hotel? [ hopeful! ] Preferably one that won't give me cholera while I'm sleeping like a Swedish immigrant in the 1700s. I don't want to die like an American Girl doll's BFF never to be seen again in the sequel books. I deserve a sequel!

[moonheart]

Ooo, and if we get a hotel, there might be a hot tub! [ #priorities ]
