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."

But when she opens her mouth to speak I swear I can't make this shit up if I tried, she crit fails her Will Save.]
I met Sam.
no subject
no subject
Hey – no. [Shaking her head as she tries to meet his gaze, her own steady, like showing him that she could be calm might rub off somehow.] I'm fine. Seriously, he didn't - do anything exactly. I think he was just... fishing?
[Her brow furrows with what looks like confusion but there's something more, a flash of anger as Sam's words ring in her head.]
And he... might have pissed me off and I might have slammed him into a wall but other than that? Nothing happened.
no subject
no subject
Wow... [Voice tight. She doesn't need him to finish that sentence, she knows exactly what he means and Rose nods slowly, the slam of Sam's words having a context that made it all make sense to her. He'd played it well, undersold it even. He could have gone right for the sucker punch but that would have been a little too telling.] I... really should have punched him.
[She pulls in a slow, shaky breath before meeting his gaze, managing at least to push down some of that anger, again, nodding slowly, processing new information and trying to fit it into her recently altered view of the world.]
Okay. [It wasn't okay. It was anything but Okay, but it didn't change anything. It wasn't like she'd blindly stumbled into this. He'd given her a choice, every step of the way he'd tried to get her to turn back and this wasn't about to change things. Once Rose decided she was in, she was all in, for better or worse, regardless of the unspoken 'us'.]
Okay. [More certain now.] Though... When we get back, we should sit down so you can tell me how all this works because he probably got a - lot, out of me. [Offering a meaningful look of her own.]
no subject
It's probably a poor idea, since what happened between them no more than like an hour ago or two is still a fresh and terrible secret, but he can't help himself from grabbing her shoulder lightly and drawing her against himself, murmuring in a thick, troubled voice: ] It's alright. [ He does not sound remotely convinced of that. Quite the opposite really. ] Promise. We'll... figure somethin' out.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I know... I'm just... [She exhales hot air against his chest before lifting her chin to meet his gaze.] Mad at myself, that's all.
[Like she had allowed herself to be used to get to him and the whole point of this, of all of it was that she wanted to be the one to have his back, not the one letting him down. (As for you Will Graham! Bluff 29.) ]
no subject
yay...
will would also swear that he heard some of his jumbled thoughts alluding to worrying about archdevils coming after her. so. there's that. ]
no subject
So, uh. Doppelgangers.
no subject
With a supreme Will Save (haha. Will. get it.) of 10, she looks like the kid with her hand still stuck in the proverbial cookie jar when she breaks away from Dean, clearing her throat and trying to seem all 'nothing to see here folks' when in reality her face has 'busted' written all over it. Good times.]
Will.... Hey. [Crickets may in fact be chirping.] So you're... good to go? [Gaze very briefly flicking towards Dean before she forces her focus on Will.]
no subject
Let's move.
no subject
Yeah. [he adjusts the strap of his messenger bag slung across his shoulder.] I'm ready.
