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!

[ 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.]

[sorceresslite]

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.

[sorceresslite]

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."

[badexample]

[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.

[sorceresslite]

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. ]

[badexample]

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

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

[sorceresslite]

Be safe, yeah?

[badexample]

'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.

[sorceresslite]

Sounds like a plan. [ she leans over to give him a brief hug. ] For the record though, the only arse that'll be kicked will be yours.
