debriefing ♔ in the emptiness there's a solution | just look within yourself for absolution

[nepotism]

♬ locking up the sun- poets of the fall

WHO || Wynn, Buffy, Myri, Finnick, Spike, Gar, Archer, Des, Vi, Rafael, Fred Jr., Dumage, Mark, Rocket, open! [Closed]
WHAT || Andres Mission Debrief & Aftermath
WHERE || Knights HQ, lobby etc.
WHEN || September 18th [forward dated*]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

There are plenty of missions that return to the castle a success - most of them, even. The defeated air of the solemn group that returns from their diplomatic mission to Andres Isle to hear the demands of dictator Dimitris Sarandis makes it quite clear that this wasn't one of those.

Starting with Sarandis' actual demands - for all Knights to withdraw from Andres under penalty of death, or for Wynn to offer his own head in return for Thomas' safe return - and ending with the unexpected, disturbing confession from Kat that she intended to stay behind on the island because she had "fallen in love with" the dictator, the events of the island made it very clear that Sarandis was cannily playing his hand to get the Knights where he wanted them.

Fred Jr. shoves open the doors with his unnatural strength, stalking in ahead of the group into the lobby. Whoever's on desk duty isn't going to have to roll a high wisdom check to see that these people are pissed... and distraught... and a myriad of other emotions on the bad end of the scale.

*I am changing the date of the briefing log and Andres log/live session to have taken place in September, to avoid us being in backdated hell forever, and to allow for a September squiring ceremony before apps are closed. Carry on... in the future!

astrid | open

[pathology]

[well, first after this announcement, astrid is going to the dragon's light wing to make sure everything in her medkit is stocked to perfection. and then she's going to text her people. if you've talked to her more than once, you'll probably get this text. maybe you'll get it even if you only talked to her once. we just don't know. she's not that picky.]

anyone up for a starbucks run before shit gets all saving private ryan? i need like 50 strawberry frappuccinos.

[nepotism]

not sure even frappuccinos are gonna improve the situation

[pathology]

incorrect, frappuccinos improve all situations.

[nepotism]

[ there's no text back for a long time, before finally: ] he's got kat.

[pathology]

[she knows he ... was friends with kat??? but belligerently ignored that he might like-like kat bcuz of her own fickle crush on fred. until ... now. (wis 21) oops.]

oh :(

[a pause between texts]

do you have like a favorite food or something? i'm a big proponent of comfort eating.

[nepotism]

i think everyone has a favorite food, a.

steak, definitely steak.

[ex_psionic439]

[He really doesn't need another excuse to puke right now. She can have the frappuccinos tbh.]

Gross. Count me in.

[pathology]

what's so gross???

[ex_psionic439]

Fifty frapps.

Well, more specifically fifty frapps coming back up when someone's head gets blown off and you have to run for like ... a mile.

But fifty frapps is kind of gross all by itself too. Unless you were like that girl from Precious or something.

[I apologize for his existence.]

[ex_psionic439]

Hey, speaking of heads getting blown off...

[pathology]

so you totally insult me and call me the girl from precious, then you want me to blow you? YOU ARE THE WORST!! [but then there's like the cat crying laughing emoji at the end so she's probably not serious.]

[ex_psionic439]

I think it means something that I'd still want you to blow me even if you were the girl from Precious, honestly.

Which you aren't, for the record. [Insert boy and girl kissy emoji heart suck up chans, followed by the a-ok sign and finger pointing to it s-so subtle.]

[beatupgrass]

[There are people in the world who understand simple things like the concept of ownership or asking permission or acknowledging that "fuck it I'm gonna do the thing" may, actually, be the worst idea ever.

And then there's Rocket who primarily follows his Id impulses, because he is an animal regardless of what he believes. Claiming you're a dragon on the astral plane will not make you breathe fire and sprout actual scales. It's sort of the same principle.

All that really serves as a lengthy set-up to say that Rocket is not fucking around with medical professionals right now and would feel much better if he just casually liberated a few things from here to avoid EVER HAVING TO DEAL WITH ANYONE. Sure, it's rude to steal from the people keeping your bitch-ass up for the night, but it's not like he's stealing the silver. Sheesh.

And all that paragraph does is explain why Astrid keeps hearing drawers open and close from across the room EVEN THOUGH THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYONE ELSE THERE?????]

[pathology]

[looking around ... looking around ... failing to see anyone even with a spot 26???? da fuq.] Hello?? Is anyone there? [/violently weilds a scalpel. she's not doing this horror movie shit tonight when she's on her way to get oral sex ok.]

[beatupgrass]

[well, d'ast it. maybe he could have been subtler, said the guy with the nat 20 hide check.]

That's not the kinda question you're gonna get a good answer to. [He backs away slowly into some shadows. Maybe if he psychs her out, he can slip off unnoticed... (move silently 26, which is obscene because I rolled a 4). Damn Africa.]

Either I don't say nothing and you think you're losin' it or I do say somethin' and you're left wonderin' who's even talkin'.

[It's your conscience. Your conscience has a Brooklyn accent. It says no bjs and starbucks for you.]

[pathology]

[NOT LETTING GO OF THE SCALPEL. not scared, just 100000 percent done.] Shut the fuck up, you Newsies reject. I don't have time for this. What do you want?

[fixyourproblem]

I guess you could forget about diabetes at times like this. :) [That's a joke, no matter how corny it is. And yes, he has learnt how to use smileys, just a short while ago.]

[badexample]

I'll pass.

Guessing that means you're signing up, then? Gotta say I'm relieved to hear it. Makes it a little easier to someone out there might patch me back together when I end up stepping in it.

[pathology]

boo :(

yep! i'm a medic, it's like, my sworn duty to go. it's weird to imagine you there, tho ... are you gonna wiretap the castle or something?

[badexample]

Gonna pretty much do w/e Wynn asks me to tbh. And put a lot of energy into not dying.

[pathology]

sounds legit. um ... can i be totally straight with you for a minute? if we die i have to like, cleanse my karma or something.

[bittersweeter]

[ like... five hours later or some shit. it's been a while. ]

If I bring you Starbucks on my way back will you restock my drugs pretty please?

[pathology]

i *guess* i could do that. just because we're friends and all. what do you need?

[bittersweeter]

Everything basically. I've been going through it faster than normal. You were gone and the guy I usually go to is on fucking holiday in Switzerland like he's trying to relive my boarding school years.

[pathology]

just bring me your shoebox and i'll try to match it with whatever we've got.

are you going?
