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

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!

Oh, is that so? [He says with a laugh.] Well, it'll be good to know you'll be there in case I get in too much trouble. So long as you promise me you'll be careful.

[lastdragomir]

I'm always careful. I have to be with you lot around. How else am I to rescue you if I've done something silly like wound up needing to be rescued myself.

[bluffcheck]

A very fine point. But if you did need rescuing, you know I would be there in a moment's time, don't you?

[lastdragomir]

I know. [ she smiles and touches his arm reassuringly. ] But I'll be fine, I promise.

[bluffcheck]

Alright, I believe you. [He gives her a quick wink.]

I'll leave you to finish getting ready. Take care, lass.

[lastdragomir]

[ she quickly leans over to kiss his cheek. ] You as well, Thoster.
