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!

You aren't, though. You already have more than just your own life to look after.

[graveflowers]

Kat doesn't know that! She's just going to think I left her there. And-- [ she cuts herself off from going off on a tangent about francesca because she knows the woman is one of finnick's best friends so she just snaps her mouth shut. ] If Elena's gone there, she's going to think the same thing. Amaranth is going to think he wasn't worth it. [ her babies. ]

[65]

Your safety matters more than what other people may think.

[witchwoman]

[fuck 'em tbh.]

Kat and Elena could never think that of you, Vi. They know how much you love them. And you know how much Amaranth adores you. He could never think you didn't care about him. [She smiles, even if it's hard to fight the worry out of her eyes.]

There will be questions, surely. Because you are just as important to them as they are to you. But they'll all understand.

[graveflowers]

[ her expression betrays that she doesn't quite believe them. the last thing she wants is for kat to think that vi didn't want to be there for her. the smile she summons up to return myri is wan at best. her fingers creep up to rub her shoulder where myri had healed one of her gunshot wounds. it's the right choice, for her, to stay behind.

but vi kind of sucks at thinking of herself. ]

I guess.

[65]

And if they disagree, we'll just leave them on Andres.

[REALLY FINNICK??? IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU'LL DO????]

[witchwoman]

Finnick. [Myri scolds him lightly, even as she laughs at the end.]

They won't disagree. I know they won't.

[graveflowers]

[ with a quiet sigh, vi smiles the tiniest bit before she gets off the bed. ] Okay, okay, I get the point. I'm gonna go..

[ make bad life choices :) ] Sleep in my own bed for once, who'da thunk.

[65]

All right. Take care, Vi. You know that our bed is always open to you. Well ... usually open to you. [hell yeah gonna get some last night on earth nookie after all B) ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri jumps up out of bed too so she can kiss Vi on the cheek and walk her out.]

If you need anything tonight, just let us know. But... maybe knock first.

[gonna get laid, son]

[graveflowers]

[ her nose scrunches up dramatically like wow too much info of my sister and best friend doing it when it was actually no info at all. ]

Yep, got it, totally not coming back now. Later. [ flowers out. ]

[65]

[now that she's gone ... finnick doesn't say anything but he is definitely making some sexy bedroom eyes at myri. yep.]

[witchwoman]

[Myri closes the door after Vi leaves, leaning back against it and hearing that click as it latches. This girl doesn't even try to have a will save against those bedroom eyes. Teeth tugging at her bottom lip, she still manages to look shy about it, even if they're doing it on the regular.]

It looks like we have the rest of the night to ourselves.

[65]

Looks like. [he gets up to join her against the door ... so he can make out with her. why else? he starts kissing her mouth, then moves down to her neck.]

[witchwoman]

[Her arms move around his neck, kissing him back eagerly. She doesn't want to think about how this may be their last night together like this, but... it could happen. So she's going to appreciate every second she has with him here and now. Pressing up on tip toe, she leans her head to one side to allow him better access to her neck, because wow he is good at that. He damn well should be for how long they've been together.]

[65]

[he's with her on that mentality, okay. aerosmith's don't wanna miss a thing should be playing in the bg. maybe it is. here's your song cue. ♬

ANYWAY. while he's so awesome at kissing her neck, he also puts his arms around her waist so he can lift her up and start carrying her to the bed. (str 10; multitasking is hard ok. but he manages.) he's not terribly subtle at all about where this is going, but subtle is not a time when they're not going to war tomorrow and actually have an idea of whether they'll live through it or not. ]

[witchwoman]

[She lets out a small, surprised laugh as he lifts her. It may be a little clumsy, but she's not complaining. She also doesn't need him to be subtle because subtlety is for chumps who are going to war tomorrow. Her arms tighten around his neck to hold on, fingers combing through his hair.]

Oh, Finnick...

[In case he forgot his own name. She's here to remind him. No, she's just getting caught up in the moment.]

[65]

I love you, Myri. [it's okay, he's caught up, too. IT WAS THE HEAAATTTT OF THE MOMENT. TELLING HIM WHAT HIS HEART MEANT. THE HEAAAAT OF THE MOMENT. anyway. he pulls her down onto the bed with him as they get closer. and because they have sex pretty regularly, i'm assuming there are condoms in her nightstand ok. he rolled a wis 20 total to remember them, so his hand is snaking over to grab one.]

[witchwoman]

[So if he's pulling her down onto the bed is she on top?? You lazy son of a bitch, Odair. No jk she's into it. She also notices his hand going for the nightstand and can't help her smile from growing wider.]

I love you too. So much.

[65]

So much. [EXCUSE YOU HE IS A GENTLEMAN. he knows myri likes it on top ok. he watched game of thrones. so ... yeah. SEXY TIMES.

str NAT 20 AW YEAH SON

So with his str score I just imagine he's just like...lifting her at his whim. But don't worry- she's nimble as fuck. Everything else is above average so yes. Good job. Successful nookie.

After, she curls up beside him, head laying on his chest.]

No matter what happens, I need you to know how happy I am to have found you, that you found me.

[65]

[probably. and look at myri's dex nat 20. aww yeah good to know their last night on earth sex was a success, ok.]

I know. [he lazily twines his fingers through her hair.] I love you so much, I just — I can't imagine a moment of my life without you in it.

[witchwoman]

Good thing you won't have to. [She says, arm reaching over his torso to hold onto him tighter. It's rare for Myri to feel comfortable sleeping through the night, and stranger yet that she might manage it the night before such a large battle will take place. But somehow she manages to drift off, wrapped up in knowing how much they care for one another.]

[65]

[he makes a little mhm noise in ageement before cozying up to her and sleeping, too. he doesn't even have nightmares. (i rolled for it!) he has happy dreams about his future with myri. :) /vomits from how cute they are.]
