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!

[She makes a bit of a face at that.]

You have a point. No haggis ever again.

[kineticist]

Nothing in a bowl that smells like mud. [Zoe's face is also one of unpleasant.]

Plus, if there's a ship there might be attractive pirates.

[bredinthebone]

That is true. Pirate action is definitely worth lobbying for.

[She smirks.]

The pros of the Kraken are growing by the moment.

[kineticist]

I know how to pick my large monsters.

[bredinthebone]

That you do.

[And then a beat before she switches to mentor mode, even though Zoe's hasn't been her squire in a while.]

How're you doing with all of this?

[kineticist]

I'm alright. I think it's going to take a while for Adam and me to be back to the usual non-speaking terms, but I'm actually okay with that. I think the truth'll be good for us.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods a bit at that.]

I just got back, so I can't say I've had the pleasure of running into him.

[kineticist]

Yeah, you're referring to it as a pleasure - so I can tell you haven't bumped into him. [SISTERLY LOVE.]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs at that. Yep, gotta love that sibling affection.]

I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll track him down after we're done conquering a small island nation.

[kineticist]

[Zoe lets out a sound that's almost amused, but really how amused can you be at bringing war to the doorstep of an island?]

If he gives you a hard time, just let me know.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement.]

You will be my first call.

[And with that she'll take a step back.]

But I should get packing and so should you. You need anything let me know, okay?

[kineticist]

Yeah, of course. Take care out there - if I don't see you.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement.]

You too.

[And with that, she's off to get packing and ready to go. /scene]
