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

♬ 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!

Sorry. [He feels bad for not being more helpful.]

[impetere]

[She shrugs.]

It's not your fault. At least now I know to avoid him if he shows up.

[killingtodeath]

He ever remind you of your uncle? Because they both have a weird 'i'm the best alpha to ever alpha' vibe going.

[impetere]

[Fortunately, at this point, Cora knows Peter is alive - at least back home. Thank you, Allison. But it's the other part that gives her pause, her head tipping to the side ever so slightly as she tries to make sense of what Stiles is saying.

Because he couldn't have -

But that's not how -

.... ]

Peter is an alpha?

[killingtodeath]

Was. He killed...an alpha and took the power to help him heal from his coma after the fire. Or something. The details aren't important.

[The details involve Peter killing Laura and stiles doesn't want to go there right now.]

But even without alpha power, they both have the same supreme douchey quality.

[impetere]

[Yeah, she crit failed that sense motive, so she won't think anything of reading into the fact that when it comes to Peter killing another alpha what alpha that might be. It's probably for the best. For right now she's just trying to reconcile the Peter Stiles is trying to tell her about with the one she remembers, and it's not exactly easy.]

He can be a bit of a dick sometimes, but I think "supreme douchey" is a little harsh.

[killingtodeath]

I'm gonna guess its either you got a free pass for being his niece or the Veil sucked out enough memories that you just don't remember. But Peter Hale is a sociopath. And that's on a good day.

[impetere]

[Yeah, she recoils from that a little. It's not his doubting her understanding of Peter - she was eleven, he's probably right and she didn't really get to see all of him, but "sociopath on a good day" isn't even close to what she remembers. And she hates that she doubts her own memories because of the Veil.]

I haven't seen Peter since the fire. I thought he was dead until I talked to Allison at the squiring.

[killingtodeath]

Look, I'm not... This probably isn't a great time to get into this.

[War coming up and all.]

Just forget I said anything. And good luck with Derek.

[He should go. He's going to go.]

[impetere]

Yeah.

[Only the problem is, now it's the only thing she can think about. She'll probably start dissecting what she does remember of Peter and seeing if there's something she's missing on reflection, no matter how fruitless it is. Even if he's not even here for her to deal with.]

Thanks.

[She'll just grab her legal pad again and turn her attention back to that, giving him room to go do what he needs to do. Whatever that is.]
