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."
no subject
I'm gathering that. Still, it's nice to have so much back up. That's something I'm not used to.
[It's almost always just been a group of two or three. This is almost weird in comparison.]
no subject
[Her however tone is light, like she might be joking. Protip. She's not.]
no subject
[Or less than half. Depending on the day and if that third person was there...except that third person was dead now. =/]
no subject
Oh yeah, I can relate to that. [She at least sounds more fond than annoyed.] I just got back from a long stint working with somebody. About the only thing we really agreed on was food and even then...
no subject
I never even got that. [Dean liked his grease. Sam liked his veggies.] But you're around someone that much, it doesn't really matter. What matters is what you've been through together.
no subject
Yeah it, changes things I think. [A wry chuckle escapes.] Lets just say a year ago I wouldn't have picked him as the person I most wanted to have my back tonight. [Grinning now.] Not even on the shortlist but, like I said. Change.
no subject
I'm glad you have someone you trust watching your back tonight.
[Because he would...really like that.]
What assignment did you get, anyway?
no subject
I'm, leading up the group going after Kyp and Elena... the - [She shakes her head, expression a little pained (ws 10).] - Doppelgangars.
no subject
He recalls her saying she was out of the loop, didn't know the new people. Because she's been gone.
Chasing doppelgangers. Just like a certain someone else.
Something in his face changes (will save 6 l o l), because he suddenly knows who she's been talking about.
...Yeah.]
You've been on the road with Dean, haven't you?
[It's not...really a question.]
no subject
Gone is the light conversational Rose, this is the Guardian, the one who is sizing up a threat and she levels Sam with a scowl as she legit gets a sense motive of 6.]
So, what? You decide you milked enough information out of me to reveal yourself?! I mean - [She lets out a laugh that's very much lacking in humor.] You are "Sam" right?
no subject
[Several things occur to him at once and none of them are...at all good. Oh boy.
His hands go up because jfc he does not want another fight. Why does she have a STAKE of all things?]
What kind of information do you think I even got?
[Seriously, what the hell. And why would he out himself? HE IS NOT THE BAD GUY.]
He told you what happened didn't he? Please just tell me. I need to know what he thinks I did.
[He sounds...pretty fucking desperate. Wow guys this is not the time for this.]
no subject
Rose takes another step back, putting a healthy distance between them because they silently agreed on one thing, this was not the time or the place for this, the stake dropping a little further but her knuckles were white with the tight hold she had on it. (WS 12)]
I don't know, you were the one fishing... [Spitting the words back like an accusation as she replayed their conversation with the weight of what she'd learned from Dean behind it.]
What he thinks?! Wow... You're good, I'll give you that.
[Rose at least has enough sense to realize that if he is going to try and pull something, it's not going to be in the middle of the Castle where there are a hundred or so Knights all geared up for War (Wis ... Nat 20) so that at least, is finally enough to make her put her stake away, closing the distance between them now so that she can discretely - for her - pass on a message.]
I don't know what kind of game you're playing by being here, but I want to make one thing clear to you. [Another step in because Rose is in no way intimidated by his hulking form.] If you do anything at all to screw with Dean, you will have me to answer to.
no subject
[No really, that makes no sense. Why does this keep happening? In the freaking Castle of all places.
At least it's not at his throat this time. Yet.]
I swear to God, I'm not playing games. I've been through every book in the freaking library trying to figure out what's going on and now he's here and he won't tell me.
[And to think he's only had a couple hours to stew about it. This will get worse. Way worse.
He's not intimidated by her, but he takes a step back anyway, because again. NO MORE FIGHTING.]
I can't fix it if no one will listen.
no subject
And that's quite enough of that Metaphor.]
Lets say - for five seconds, that I even believe your - I'm innocent routine... [Clearly, she doesn't.] Some things can't be fixed. Not ever.
no subject
[Well, he does and he doesn't. He wants someone close to Dean to believe him for Reasons, but he...doesn't care if it's her.]
He's my brother. I have to try. [His lips press together as he looks down at her.] And I'm sure as Hell not going to let you stop me.
no subject
no subject
Basically, fuck you.]
So what, a few months on the road and you think you know him?
[His voice is strained, incredulous.]
I guess we'll see, won't we? But newsflash, if it's up to him? Then he doesn't need you getting in the way.
no subject
She, doesn't have it (Will Save 9) and in the blink of an eye, she's driving forward, ready to slam
Moose-boySam back into the nearest wall (Strength 22. Lets all be happy she didn't actually attack okay.)]I think you made one hell of a mistake in coming here. [Intimidate 39. No really. 39.] Now get out of my face before I help you leave through the back door.
[Mostly, she just wants him gone before Dean returns but ya know, after that, she just wants him gone, period.]
no subject
And if he wasn't listening before (he was, he just didn't care), he sure was now, his eyes growing a little wide because he did...not expect that.
It doesn't stop him from being pissed, but he's done with words, because no one is listening to reason and the last thing he needs right now is a black eye going off to fight against whatever kind of hideous they're headed towards.
But he sure is giving her an angry glare as he stands straight, brushes himself off, and walks away without another word.
If there was a door to walk through, he'd be slamming it behind him like a kid, js.]
