WHAT || Settling into the mission HQ
WHERE || Knights' hotel/various locales in the city(?), Chicago, IL
WHEN || Friday Feb 24th through Sunday Feb 26th
HOW || Actionspam

Arrival in the city involved picking up any weapons or equipment that they had sent to meet them here and moving into their oh-so-fancy hotel rooms on the top floor. It consists of four adjoining rooms with a shared living room space and kitchenette. Each bedroom has two separate beds and roomies are:

Kat & Gar
Buffy & Myri
Martha & Dumage
Spike & Sven

Mark's agreed to sleep on the couch, since there aren't any spaces with five separate adjoining rooms available.

Gar's new job will begin on Monday, which gives the Knights the weekend to explore the city if they like, do research on the Hoffman Institute, scope out the Institute's campus, set up surveillance plans, or otherwise unwind before the real work starts.

Did I...? I must have... forgotten. As for feelings, well I-I-I expect they do, yes. [She tries to reign in her stammer, focusing on the completed stack of books] ... Have them, that is, not have them removed.

[Annnnd thank God, a change of subject, that she will eagerly latch onto] I've not heard why she left though it's possible she did so of her own accord. Or perhaps Wynn wasn't too pleased when she spilled secrets of our organization into print... even if she used pseudonyms and claimed it was fiction.

[It's okay, Gar, you can admit to your secret lesbian relationship with Kat, Martha won't judge. You're not a Dragon's Claw, so it's clearly permissible. UNLESS DAPHNE DECIDES TO WRITE ABOUT YOU.] So what's so wrong with them having relationships with other Knights?

Or maybe Wynn fell in love with her and was forced to choose between her and the Knights. [Martha smirks at Gar, who, given her fail!sense of humour, will probably not appreciate this as much as she ought to.] I'm just kidding, Gar, that's ridiculous and doesn't make any sense, I know. Plus Wynn doesn't seem like the type to fall in love with anybody.

[rationalizes]

I... h-hardly think Wynn's the type, no. But I suppose anything is possible. [She'd just rather not know about it. She nervously twines a piece of hair around and around her finger]

The way Wynn sees it, the Dragon's Claws need to put their loyalty to the Knighthood above all personal concerns. There's an inherent danger in their splitting their focus, therefore, by the sort of investment... personal relationships can bring. Families, et cetera.
