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!

I suppose I do know what it feels like to be so isolated, in the past. This world wasn't always one that accepted the existence of my kind as fact, and they certainly weren't quick to adapt the beliefs of another world into their own.
I've always known, since I came here, which is the first thing I can remember in my life, that the gods were real, because they're a part of me. Yet here I was in a world that insisted those things were a fantasy, or any other number of ways to write them off. That aspect of my lineage was a huge part of my identity, but it took me a long time to meet anyone else who would even acknowledge it for what it was.
It's a terribly lonely feeling.

There's nothing more lonely than believing in something no one else believes in. It makes you feel like you're gonna wake up one morning and everything about it will just be gone. Or worse, everyone you know will just start calling you crazy and write off the whole thing, so you're left with two options- cut it out of your life entirely, because that's what the sensible thing to do would be... Or keep fighting until someone else- anyone else- believes you.
no subject
No one should have to compromise their beliefs.

[He reaches up to put his hand on hers.] If it were easy to explain- if I could explain most of it- I'd have done it a long time ago. Because God knows I don't enjoy it being this way.

concern wends its way across her features, and she looks pained on his behalf, as she urges: ] Maybe it's the hardest thing in the world, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
I've been there. Maybe not precisely where you are - I have no idea where that is, obviously. But... when the Unicorn sent me back to New York to fulfill some unknown destiny, I felt so alienated by what the city had become, the cynicism and sense of loss that permeated so much of what surrounded me, that I thought it would be the end of me. I couldn't bring myself to explain it to anyone for so long: the crushing weight of my own memories of that place, things that had been lost to me forever, combined with the hopelessness I found everywhere.
It felt so melodramatic. To everyone else who lived there, that was normal. It was just how things were, and they couldn't understand why it seemed to tear me apart the way it did. Why it was all wrong.
If I hadn't ever found a way to talk to someone about it - anyone - I don't know how long I would have lasted, Des.
I don't want you to feel trapped the way I did.

He chews on the inside of his cheek, unable to speak, looking horribly lost and sympathetic and a mixture of other emotions, and then he pulls her in a direction.]
Not out here. It's not a... polite company story.
