In less than twenty-four hours, everything has turned on its head.

A Knight and her allies were kidnapped by Iscariot agents for execution in Rome, barely escaping with their lives.

A mission meant to free one Knight from the influence of a dark god succeeded - at the price of another's life.

A simple recon mission at a Keijen Blade concert nearly led to two Knights committing mind-controlled suicide in front of an eager crowd.

Several Knights went to see Draken Crombe, leader of the Church of the Lord's Humanity, speak in person, and learned just how sinister his religion's dogma is.

A call from Sir Hathaway alerted Wynn to the escape of the doppelganger from the Knight's dungeons, an escape perhaps aided by Elena Gilbert.

A demigod interrupted what might have been a simple smash and grab retrieval of an artifact.

And most horrific of all, in the middle of the night, hundreds of Shadowkind in New York City awoke, and walked in a mindless trance down to the Hudson River to drown themselves. Only the quick thinking and combined efforts of the Knights present and their allies prevented all of them from succeeding.

Beset on all sides, a dark time awaits for the Knighthood - who were already suffering from the capture of Dragon's Claw Sir Thomas Bancroft at the hands of their long time enemy Dimitris Sarandis of Andres Isle.

In times such as these, the light can be difficult to find. Hope itself seems somewhere just out of reach.

No doubt he's using his songs as the method of spreading his psionic influence. during his live performances As for the specifics of how exactly, you'd be better off asking our resident telepath.

[He nods over toward where Tia is sitting. Hey, boo.]

[likedillinger]

[asuma]

I take it you've encountered their kind previously?

[Dish the deets, gurl.]

[likedillinger]

You could say that. [ lmfao he does not sound

inclined to share ]

[asuma]

[Meanwhile Klaus is pouring his little hybrid heart out.]

How vaguely menacing.

[likedillinger]

Let's just say it wasn't a good experience.

[asuma]

So I'm gathering. [People tend to want to share about the good experiences and he can read between the lines.]

Just be sure and remember that sweeping generalizations seldom take into account those few who have proven themselves entirely different than what you might expect.

[Tia has proven to be the most useful person here besides himself tyvm. Don't start none won't be none, son.]

[likedillinger]

Yeah, yeah, party line around here. So I gather.

[asuma]

Happy to have you along, in that case. [Smile. You're basically dismissed now.]
