WHAT || Andres War Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, Round Table Room
WHEN || September 19th [forward dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, please call dibs in the dibs plurk!


On the eve of battle, an impressive array of Knights gathers in the Round Table room of the castle.  The usually cavernous room seems tightly packed with this many bodies, and places at the Table are reserved for Wynn, the Section Heads, all those who have had any hand in the Talisman mission, including New York, and Christos, but who's going to argue with him, really.  The air buzzes with a mixture of impending dread and on some fronts, excitement.  It's hard to deny that there are those in the room who have wanted to make a move on Andres for years.

Wynn waits for the appointed hour, before nodding for the doors to be sealed and calling the meeting to order.  

"Before we begin, I'd like to thank each and every one of you, many who have traveled an extensive distance at a moment's notice to join us here today.  I understand that many of you have little idea what you have agreed to, but I hope that before the end of this meeting, you will come to understand what we are doing, and why it must be done.

Andres' Isle has been held under the sway of the man who calls himself their "Prime Minister" for nearly a decade.  In these ten years, he has turned what was once an idyllic country steeped in tradition into a tightly controlled fascist nation disguised as representative of its people.  

Andres is far from the only country to fall to such a fate over the course of history, and it has never been the prerogative of this Knighthood to enforce our own personal vision of some sort of world order onto any nation.  We are protectors of justice, and our enemy has always been both that which comes from the darkest depths of Shadow, and intolerance and prejudice that stems from this world. 

But Dimitris Sarandis has proven to be an exception, an embodiment of all the ideals we stand against, who has aspired to systematize the kind of violence and hatred that threatens the welfare of countless innocents under his rule.  He has used his position to exploit Shadowkind on the island to the point of conducting torturous experiments on them, designed to help him accomplish his goal of forcibly enslaving non-humans, so that they may serve what he sees as the superior race of homo sapiens.  

As if this were not enough, Dimitris knows of our existence, and wishes to tear down our organization, understanding that we pose a threat to all he seeks to accomplish.  To this end, he has conspired against us, kidnapped members of our organization and subjected them to brutal and vile torture, and attempted to blackmail us through detaining Sir Thomas Bancroft and now Sir Samcelot, into complying with his whims - to leave his regime alone entirely, to turn over our most ancient, powerful artifact, and for me to submit to death at his hand.  

Killing Dimitris alone will not stop the system he has created, and will not help free the people of Andres.  Most citizens of the country remain innocent, terrified into compliance, or completely ignorant of what Sarandis does behind closed doors.  These people deserve our help, and the only way to do so is to show them the evil that lurks at the heart of their government, gain their support in uprooting that evil, and assist them in stabilizing their country thereafter.   

To do this, we will need to go beyond the usual parameters of our missions, with a militant, strategic push into the island designed to seize the castle, and take down Sarandis' rule."   He pauses there, letting that sink in.  "What I will not stand for is a callous attitude towards the innocents who we seek to protect on the Island, during this insurgency.  Their safety will be paramount to our operation, and as such, speed is important to what we will be accomplishing.  Dimitris expects retaliation, but he also underestimates our tactics.  As such, rather than attacking the castle with an army, you will be deployed about the Island in a number of small teams, each with an objective that will help us cut off Dimitris from contact with his supporters, secure Sir Bancroft and Sir Samcelot's safety, free those who are imprisoned, and confront Sarandis, taking the castle in the process.

Details of these individual operations not withstanding, I imagine there are some questions.  I open the floor to you to speak."

[ kadir raises an eyebrow at rocket and the skepticism is clear on his face as he looks at wynn like AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICE CREATED BY A RACCOON. IS THAT MY JOB HERE TODAY. ] I hope you won't mind me taking a look at it before we go.

The raccoon talks and makes explosives? Am I on acid? I have to be tripping balls, man. How does he do it? Does the little bugger even have thumbs?? [he knows all about raccoon penises, and yet ... ]

[personal profile] bredinthebone 2014-09-14 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Will you shut up?

[That is directed to Nathan. But really she's peering at this explosive device with interest. Did you bring her a toy, you lovely talking masked mammal you? Is Kadir going to kill her for wanting to play with the dangerous explosive just because it was built by a raccoon?

The answer to both of those is yes. Malina generates her own explosives, she doesn't need to play with new ones.

Felicity, on the other hand, is just going to peek around at this "Brendan" person as he waves, then tip her head to the side, almost as though she's appraising him. Then she shrugs. If he's okay with Wynn that's good enough for her.]
bigbad: injuries (But tell me now)

[Spike looks extremely innocent.]

What, plastered on something that doesn't even have antimatter particles?

[Meanwhile Drax looks pleased... until it registers what Rocket is saying (wis 8). Then he looks up with a puzzled frown. He still uses streets what is Rocket even talking about.]
nothingsodivine: (just next in line)

[personal profile] nothingsodivine 2014-09-14 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Des looks up at Wynn's last comment, all SHIT SON, but doesn't say anything. Even Gold and Bambi are like FUUUUUUUCK over in their respective corners.

Meanwhile, completely oblivious to how important this is, Rocket looks at Nathan and holds up a disconcertingly human hand/paw/something and slowly drops down each digit into a fist until the thumb is the last one.

Yes. He has a fucking thumb you jackass. He also knows how to make a fist. Your move.]
bittersweeter: (♔ well...)

Sorry, like King Arthur? The actual "Once and Future King"? [ she was pretty sure wynn was punking her when he said he was just holding excalibur for arthur because he's the badass dragon lady in the lake (that is paraphrasing if you're unclear). because arthur died. like a millennia ago. she saw the movie, it was very dramatic and that bird was pretty chill. so she is just looking for some clarification here. ]

[Who looks a little bit smug? This guy over here.

He tries to catch Lila's eye after she speaks, giving her a very telling shrug of his shoulders. He told you, gurl. He likes to be right.

He knew about the King Arthur thing too. Whoops.

This has been a tag.]

[what if nathan flips rocket off in response? yep. that happened. casually flipping off a raccoon.

and all my other characters who aren't fucking brain damaged are like woah son shit jut got real. to wynnie the pooh being in the field. and also king arthur???????

except finnick who's like yeah that dude was my roommate. we had some times.]

[ FIST BUMP

but, i mean, the are the coolest, so it shouldn't really be that surprising, right? ]

[ lila sticks her tongue out at sam because she is the most grown up. SHE NEVER SAID HE WOULDNT GO EVER OMG. ]

[oh. his name. it finally came. he searches the giant mass of people in the room for dean and rose, and probably spots them bcuz his spot is +5 million. i'm too tired to roll ok. but he's okay with his placement, since he's already invested a lot of time and energy into doppelhunt (despite not actually being on that mission.) ]

When you say keep them from interfering in matters, how would you prefer we ... handle them? Or is that up to our discretion.
familybusiness: (pic#8045013)

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-09-14 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Meanwhile, Sam sure did hear his brother's name, which means he's probably in this room.

He sure as fuck can't find him, thought it's pretty obvious he's looking (spot 7).]
likedillinger: (| time for plan b)

[personal profile] likedillinger 2014-09-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ probably because after hearing his assignment, dean cuts rose a nod, and then turns around and pushes his way out towards the doors. hunt the doppelgangers - that was what he was planning on doing anyway, and he looks concerned about other shit right now than the specifics of how many times he's allowed to shoot either one of them.

he shoulders his way towards the hall, and vanishes behind the crowd. ]
graveflowers: (Ω whokay)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2014-09-14 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay, so that is the dude trying to find elena. cool. and there his is leaving... okay? she sees this with her spot of 34. sorry sam. she also takes in the bastard son of the brawny man over there. ] So, like, no killing Elenabanana, basically. That's what we're getting at. [ or vi will kill them :) ]
beatupgrass: (✘ i'll give you something)

[personal profile] beatupgrass 2014-09-14 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rocket suddenly remembers something.]

Wait, wait, wait. Before we get dismissed, I need somethin'. It's a necessary component of my plan.

[he points directly at hook.] That guy's hook.

[(bluff 16) Goddammit someone sense motive that...]
mydesigns: (pic#8257591)

[personal profile] mydesigns 2014-09-14 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[sense motive 30 just for you rocket. :'| ] I seriously doubt that.
unhand: (check out my perfect pirate teeth)

[personal profile] unhand 2014-09-14 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Never have I been so sad to roll well on a sense motive check. Hook's 19 means he ain't fooled at all.]

Funnily enough, my plan has a necessary component as well. A new fur hat.
isisagent: (I had something for this...)

[Archer takes that as his cue to shuffle out of the room. He's pretty hung-over, as is his custom for briefings. As he's slowly shuffling toward the door, he thinks of something to pipe up on his way out;]

Also, if anyone happens to see like... an impossibly old wrinkled man with an accent... His name is Woodhouse, and you should pistol whip him, or shoot him in the kneecaps... or something. get creative.

[Archer out. He needs to buy a new slightly darker black suit for the mission.]
