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!

[Yay hugs! Hugs are best. She tucks her chin over Vi'a shoulder.]

Are you going to be okay here? While we're gone?

[graveflowers]

Yeah. Worried out of my mind and in a perpetual state of freaking out, sure, but I'll be fine. Nothing can actually hurt me in here. You don't need to worry about me, Myri. [ she squeezes her a little tighter though, hand lifting to smooth over her hair. ]

[65]

[and then finnick comes back from ... wherever he was. (spoiler: it was the moon.)] Well, if it isn't my two favorite ladies.

[graveflowers]

[ she pulls back from myri to look over at finnick, still keeping an arm around myri. ] Hey, just in time. Myri and I are getting married! [ :D ]

[witchwoman]

It's true. [She says with a nod, laughing, despite everything.]

You understand, don't you, dear?

[65]

[look at his sad, heartbroken face. (bluff 36) it's like you punched his heart in the dick.] I guess I'll ... leave you alone then ... [ turning to leave ... ]

[graveflowers]

[ omg you asshole, she trusted you. SHE REALLY THINKS HE IS UPSET. HER SENSE MOTIVE IS A SIX YOU MONSTER. ] Oh, Finnick, don't go! You know I'd never.

[witchwoman]

[Myri's sense motive is 25, which is much better but STILL A FAILURE. How dare you lie to your fiance, Finnick Middle Name Odair.]

No, please! We were only joking.

[65]

[he turns around and grins. asshole.] I know.

[graveflowers]

You dick! [ brb gonna throw a pug pillow at you. ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri waits for the pug pillow to go soaring at him before she approaches and gives him a little shove. And then kisses him because how could she not when he grins like that. It's just a quick kiss though. She's not gonna try to make out in front of Vi or anything.]

That wasn't very nice.

[65]

[he just lets the pillow hit him bcuz ... he knows he deserved it a little bit tbh.] Yeah, you're right, of course. I'm sorry. Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?

[graveflowers]

[ she makes a face and flounces back to the bed to sit down. ] Nope, never. [ already done. after a second she sticks out her tongue because these three are the most mature. ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri can't even fake being mad at him. It's kind of gross tbh. Slipping her arms around his waist, she hugs closer to him and looks over at Vi.]

I think that means "yes but you owe me another pizza."

[65]

[mmmmm hugs. he takes the hug as a yes from myri, okay.] You're a horrible liar, Vi.

[graveflowers]

[ KANYEST OF KANYESHRUGS, ] I really am.

[witchwoman]

[She gives Finnick a playful shove.]

It's not fair when you're such an expert. You know, I've heard that some of the new squires actually think you're a celebrity.

[65]

[he lets her shove him, but then goes farther into the room to sit down and not be awkward doorway lurker.] One asked for my autograph awhile ago. Said she was going sell it on eBay.

[graveflowers]

Yeah, Stiles is a little bit in love with you, I think. It's adorable. [ and weird, because it's finnick. finnick is finnick. FINNICK IS A LAMP. LAMPS ARE NOT SEX SYMBOLS OF THE FISHING DISTRICT MODERN POP MUSIC. ]

[witchwoman]

Hopefully I won't be forced to deal with fighting off your fans around the castle. [Myri heads back into the room and shuts the door behind her. No one else needs to join their cuddle pile tbh.]

[65]

[he laughs and then, jokingly] Maybe I'll give the castle a concert once this is all over.

[graveflowers]

Watch out, they might just hang out outside the door while you're in the shower.

[witchwoman]

That's disturbing. [She says, shaking her head. Uhm, only she's allowed to see that, thanks.]

You could sign their weapons, though. For good luck.

[Which is...also disturbing. This conversation is weird.]

[65]

Yeah, we'll see. Wouldn't want anyone thinking I've become delusional about my own self-importance. It's a slippery slope to becoming Archer from there.

[graveflowers]

Nooo, Archer is a gem among men, there will never be anything like Archer. He's like.... Jesus. Once in a lifetime thing.
