knightsoflegend | nyc ♔ took what i hated

WHO || Keijen Blade, Nadia Reichenov, Tia Ellison, Rose Hathaway, Sterling Archer, Spike, Klaus Mikaelson
WHAT || The Knights attend a Keijen Blade concert to try to learn more about the villain's plan
WHERE || NYC, New York
WHEN || June 7th, 2014, evening.
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

Whatever purpose the Church of the Lord's Humanity has in turning out a string of divinely Shadowkind musical artists, one thing can be said for certain: it's been an effective plan. Nothing proves this more than the gigantic crowd funneling into the outdoor arena where Heatless Passion is performing in NYC tonight. Goths and metalheads of both the human and non-human variety stream in, and it's difficult to tell whose strange red eyes or horns are costume and whose are natural.

The Knights' tickets are provided for, and tia leads the way inside, in a black leather dress and tall boots with numerous buckles on. it's a little clear that this is far from her element (maybe because she used to teach kindergarten), but she does her best to look confident as they're shoved through the crowd. She's established a rudimentary mindlink between them, that allows to communicate telepathically with one another, and as they move she reminds them:

Keep close. Stay sharp.

[Reflex 12. Spike is just... not that invested in Archer's safety. But if that's enough to catch him, at least he'll be able to hold him up with a str check of 24.]

[Meanwhile, Klaus is putting a little more effort into it than Spike with his reflex save of 20 total, though he wasn't counting on Archer being such a fatass (strength 17). What a bunch of winners.]

Wha- [Archer doesn't even stand a chance, flying off the stage. He's just such a pawn to all of the telekinetic powers ever.]

Oh, wait - you guys? It's about damn time someone came to help me kill myself.

[ keijen watches him go flying like it ain't no thang, and then directs his attention back to rose. ]

How could I ever resist such a tempting offer? [ it sounds as if he's mocking her, but he snaps his fingers and... archer stops wanting to kill himself. he doesn't really remember being 'mind controlled' though, just that he was enjoying himself at the concert and now he's in klaus' arms. maybe there was some extreme crowd surfing. ] Now run along, my dear. And tell your friends back at your little club house? That they are in over their heads.

[Like an idiot, Rose hesitates, a question in her eyes but given the time, place and the fact that she's gotten what she wants out of this... she's going to chalk this up to a win and be happy she's not leaving here in a body bag. (Wisdom 13)]

I'll be seeing ya. [As she backs away from him then turns back to the audience (don't expose your back to him you idiot) and moves to jump (jump 15) off the stage to join the others.]

Think I've had my fill of this concert. [Spike raises his voice, because he's an asshole and someone should have really gagged him.] I've heard better music in elevators.

[Archer tries to struggle free of the dudes and to his feet, with a Str of 22. Where was that roll for your will save, Archer.]

Woah! Guys... No homo, alright? Also were we drinking like... extremely heavily? Because I may or may not have blacked out a little... or a lot.

[Archer doesn't have to try hard because Klaus will legit drop his ass at the first opportunity. And back to Tia, because the rest of you are dead to him.]

I think it's best that we make our exit before our friend up there reconsiders. [Because they were still very much surrounded by a crowd of rabid fans who could turn on them at the slightest suggestion.]

[ keijen just offers one last shark-like grin down at them before launching into the next song as if nothing just happened. none of the crowd seems to give a shit that there were just almost suicides and/or murders going on up there either.

♬ did my time - korn ]

Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

Betrayed
I feel so enslaved
I really tried
I did my time

Oh God, the anger's changing me

I think you're right. [ she nods to klaus, and upon seeing that archer is recovered... ish, and rose is with them again, she casts a glance back through the crowd and nods at spike and klaus to lead the way in pushing through. ] We definitely got what we came for.

No arguments from me. [Rose ready to push through the crowd when the group starts moving (Str 18) but before she does that... she sure does Crit Fail her Will Save on whether to look back at Keijen or not and ya know... stares, pretty openly for longer than is strictly kosher. For reasons.]

[Spike is a little more delicate in his crowd shoving this time (str 12). I guess he doesn't want to piss off the mob of fans. He does put a hand on Rose's back and raise his eyebrows, urging her to get over the staring.]

You can send him fanmail later if you like him so much. For now, walk.

[That earns a scowl from Rose but, it does snap her out of her thoughts and she manages a gruff; Shut Up as she stops staring and starts moving.]

[Klaus is also being delicate-chans this time around (strength 13). Which is odd because he wants to murder something. Maybe it's because those somethings are like 80% of his teammates and not the innocent bystanders.]

[ oh my god you pussies, does she have to do everything herself

tia will nudge people out of the way with subtle tk as they move through to help with... all that gentle shoving. to the back of the crowd they go~ ]

[Archer stomps along after them, muttering;]

I frickin' hate this ass-douche... [And he cuts a glance back at Blade.]
