WHO || Cora Hale, Belle, Kate Bishop, Faith Lehane, Gus Harrison [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a monster tearing up a tenement building on the night of the full moon...
WHERE || Knights HQ, the briefing room
WHEN || July 12th, evening [forward dated]
HOW || Actionspam. 

While most missions are assigned with a few days or weeks of leeway for preparation, naturally some situations call for a much more immediate response.  Such is the case on the night of this month's full moon, when Wynn is forced to call on Knights who are already out and about in London for whatever reasons, delivering their instructions via video message on Drakenet.    It seems that some kind of creature has been spotted in a low-income neighborhood of London, destroyed some property, and appears to have retreated into a tenement building where screams have been heard.  Wynn suspects it to be some kind of Shadow creature, and considering that it's a full moon, well--  

He advises caution, but also reminds the Knights that it is their duty to investigate the matter and decide how best to proceed - not to charge in hunting something without understanding what it is or what is motivating it.  

So together they gather, from whatever brought them into London tonight, in front of the rundown brick building, which is... for the moment... rather quiet.

[Faith still focuses on the driving, but fills her in with the short version.]

A girl that gets mystically chosen then given the benefits package with super speed, strength, stamina - basically it crams us full of whatever we might need to take on vampires by ourselves. We get memories of the previous Slayers in dreams, some sort of 'What not to do' debriefing.

[She'll make a LEFT! and keep driving.]

Watchers are sent to guide us. Like a supernatural handler, but more British and by the book.

That's... nice. [ he looks over at belle like LETS NOT TELL HELLSING SHE EXISTS, 'KAY? 'cause he doesn't trust anyone but wynn to not use people like weapons and faith sounds like she could be exactly that. ] That's why you can punch people asleep, I like it.

That's part of the whole Slayer package, yeah.

[DO THEY ARRIVE? POSSIBLY?]

[ LMAO WELL ITS AN HOUR DRIVE so we can... fast forward if y'all want ]

I'm just grateful so many of us were close by.

[IT'S COO. I just didn't know... how to estimate that.]

She alright back there?

[The sun's coming up soon. It has to be because she can feel the exhaustion after the adrenaline coming on. The wolf isn't fighting her as much to stay prominent, and her body is giving in to the need to rest after being up all night, so while she is fine, safe, and breathing normally, she's also pretty close to passed out, as well as looking like a normal girl again.

Sans claws. Those are still in the process of retracting slowly.

Don't mind her, she's just going to take a nap.]

[She doesn't hear anything, but she figures that is good news. She'll just keep driving...

If no one has any other questions about Slayers, then the rest of the 40 minute drive can go pretty quietly. Faith makes a few quips here and there, but it's mostly about the other drivers.]

[ and so they bring cora to the castle to meet with wynn, where she decides to stay on... whether there will be consequences to their little run-in with hellsing remains to be seen...
