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!

They haven't even met her! And now I'm going to tell them I went off and got mar-- engaged.

[Smoothest recovery. Bluff 5]

YOU GOT MARRIED WITHOUT ME?? [ um yeah, she caught that. you bitch. ]

Shhh!! Keep your voice down, would you??

Yes. I mean- no. I didn't do it on purpose! Just sort of.. happened.

[This coming from the least spontaneous guy ever.]

Weddings don't just "sort of happen", Gatewood! You're not Britney Spears, you cannae just drive to Vegas and get hitched! You dinnae even have a stag party! You didn't let me throw Bo a bridal shower! [ s-so rude! you aren't allowing her sisterly duties!!!! ]

We can do those things after! Besides- I'm not having a stag party. Who would I invite? You? I'm not letting you get me a stripper, Ella. That's just weird. [He's laughing somehow, even if she's rightfully pissed.]

We were just talking after all the war talk started. And I asked her. Don't really mean to- just sort of came flying out of my mouth. But she said yes. And I figured she might come to her senses if I let that sit for too long so we just ran off to the chapel here in the castle. So it's not really official or anything. Still need to sign some papers in a courthouse, I'm sure.

And we'll have a party when everyone comes home safe. You and my family and your brother and whoever in the castle shows up for free food.

[ her face scrunches up as she shoves everything else she wants to say down and away. ]

Fine.

[ BUT ANOTHER PUNCH FOR GOOD MEASURE. he is lucky it's not lighting or to the face/dick area. his arm will survive. ]

[He winces but takes the punch without much protest.]

You want to be our witness when we do the courthouse stuff? I swear I wasn't tryin to leave you out of anything, Ella. Don't be mad. Please?

I'm not mad, y'cocksouffle. I'm disappointed I missed it and I'm a wee bit sad, but I'm not mad. Idiot. I'm proud of you. And happy. Bo is bloody lucky to have an asshat like you for her husband. [ so... complimentary... w/e, she leans over to wrap her tiny arms around his shoulders. ] You knock her up and don't tell me I might well murder you though.

[He leans into her hug which is probably hilarious because of the size difference there.]

Christ, I can't even imagine me as a dad.

Let's not try right now, yeah? Let's really not. [ one thing at a time ok. ]

[That earns her another laugh.]

Yeah, okay. It's weird enough realizing I've got a wife. Not that it's been that long since it happened. Guess these things take more than a couple hours to sink in.

I snogged Edain. [ SINCE THIS IS SURPRISE DAY... ]

[It's all fun and games until you bring up that asshole.]

...Sorry, what?

I. Snogged. Edain. [ so calm. ]

Yeah, I heard you. I just-- fuckin... Why?

[ her eyes narrow. ] Because I fucking wanted to, obviously.

[For being a so called 'smart hero,' Andrew is so ducking dumb sometimes. He should shut up. Just shut up and nod and not try to tell Ella who should or should not be kissing her.

But he's a moron so.]

Yeah, but him?! He's just so...

[His arms flail about a little, trying to express how he thinks Edaine is gross. And rude. And also an ass.]

So? [ her eyes narrow more, unamused slits. ] I've not said one bad thing about your girlfriend, wife, whatever, ever. Don't you start right now, Andrew Gatewood. I can kiss whomever I damn well please. And you will not have one thing that say about it.

[Andrew manages to keep his trap shut and NOT say the first thing that pops into his head which about boils down to "that's because bo is great and edaine is about as enjoyable as eating cow shit." BUT HE DOESN'T SAY THAT. Thank god (will save 19).]

I just... I think you could do better.

I'm not doing anything, god, just a bit of snogging.

[ shut ur whore mouth. ]

Say "Did y'like it, Els? Yeah? I'm glad."

[He doesn't say anything for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh.]

Fine, you win. I'm happy for ya. [Even if he sounds reluctant, he at least manages a smile at the end.] Really. But if he steps out of line, you let me know and I'll... Well, I'll probably ask Bo to have a word with him. She's really scary when she wants to be.

Oh please. The man wears armor 24/7, if anyone can take him down it's me.

[ srsly. lightning + metal armor = pain. lots of pain. ]

[Andrew snorts and wraps his arm around her, pulling her in tighter.]

Don't know what I was thinking. 'Course you can.

Be safe, yeah?

'Course. I know you'd find a way to kick me right in the ghostly cock if I didn't make it back.

[But he does get a little serious for a moment.]

I'll make it back. And then we can get properly drunk to have a retroactive bachelor party or something. Preferably just in the rec room with me kicking your arse at Mario Kart.
