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

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!

I wish it were as easy as chanting those noble aspirations over and over again.

[daredtobelieve]

I know. But until we get out there, there's not much else to be done, is there?

[telekinect]

I suppose playing darts with a picture of Dimitris' face doesn't count.

[daredtobelieve]

Well, if you've got one lying about, I could go a few rounds.

[telekinection]

Too bad the printer's out of ink.

[daredtobelieve]

A pity, that.

[telekinection]

I should probably-- [ she sucks in a breath ] Do you mind if I caught a ride with you?

[daredtobelieve]

Of course. Do you need to pack up anything here?

[telekinection]

Not much. Just give me a few.

[daredtobelieve]

Of course, dear. Take your time.
