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!

I'll see what I can do.

[flyingsolo]

Glad to hear it. [ she hovers there, obviously not in a hurry to move, but in the end, she's the one to pull away ] I should probably hit the showers before the meeting.

[cuivre]

[He's reluctant too, but she's right. That's coming up soon.]

You do that, beautiful. I'll see you there.

[flyingsolo]

Yeah. [ she starts to go past him a few paces, but then slows, stops, does an about face, and crosses back towards him in two steps, reaching around to grab his collar and drag him into a second kiss. because why not. ]

[cuivre]

[Oh, hello. Yes, please.

His hands catch the sides of her face, and he sure isn't complaining about any of this, nope.

When the kiss breaks again, he laughs quietly, staying close.]

Careful. At this rate, I'm going to need a shower before the meeting too. A cold one.

[flyingsolo]

Maybe that's what I was going for.

[cuivre]

Well, now that's just mean.

[flyingsolo]

Just keeping you sharp, Cuivre.

[cuivre]

[He'll smirk at her, leaning in to steal one more brief lip lock before he's pulling away.]

Like I said. Mean. [He doesn't seem all that put out, though.] I'll see you in a few hours.

[flyingsolo]

[ she closes her eyes at the contact, indulging for a moment, before nodding at him when he draws back ] Yeah. Save me a spot.
