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!

[He actually feels better than before he got punched. That's nice.

Vi you're a doll.]

Thank you. I know you were probably busy.

[graveflowers]

I was bored actually. [ but healing dimitri reminded her she can actually help so she pushes to her feet to start gathering stuffs for the flowers she's going to give failboat. ] Good luck, break a leg, well, I mean, don't actually break a leg, that would be horrible! Just break a leg in spirit...

[ someone shut her up wow. ]

[likeagod]

It's alright. I understood what you meant.

[His smile is warm, despite the emotional turmoil on the inside.]

1/2

[graveflowers]

[ she flashes him a grateful smile. ]

Be safe.

[ and lila reaches over to take dimitri's hand. ]

Come on, starshine. [ she adds a soft "thanks" to vi before starting to pull dimitri out of the wing. ]

[likeagod]

[He gives Vi a slight nod of his head in thanks as well before he allows Lila to pull him away, tilting his head side to side as if testing the healed damage.]

I still haven't gotten used to that.

[Insta-heals that is.]

[bittersweeter]

Maybe you need to get hurt more. Immersion therapy.

[ she's mostly kidding. ]

[likeagod]

Good thing we're all headed off to a battlefield then, hm?

[He's...not really kidding.]

[bittersweeter]

Good thing. [ :| that wasn't funny, dimitri.

and lila

punches him in the arm with her tiny, tiny fist. (atk 19) yes, she just dragged him to get healed just to... punch him. cats, man. ]

[likeagod]

[Since he could easily dodge that, I'm just going to say it didn't do any damage w/e]

Promise me you'll take care of yourself.

[bittersweeter]

[ accurate. what a good big brother, letting her hit him because it feels like a draft. lmao. ]

Please, I am too young and pretty to die. [ besides, she's going to die in some really dumb way like a stroke. ]

[likeagod]

That you are.

[His voice is all seriousness, though. She's not allowed to die. :|]

[bittersweeter]

I'll be fine, don't turn all emo on me. You're too handsome to be pathetic.
