WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

Mhmm.

[pathology]

I can't imagine that guy shooting anyone. He's so ... [nerdy.]

[theminotaur]

[ abigail doesn't get that, but her first impression of will was watching him shoot her father right in front of her while she was exsanguinating so.... ] Capable. Is the word you're looking for.

[pathology]

No, I'm pretty sure I was thinking of nerdy. He's not like Jason Statham or anything.

[theminotaur]

[ her eyes narrow the tiniest bit. she's very protective of will, okay. ]

He's a profiler, he catches serial killers. I don't think that's very "nerdy".

[ /takes back her compliments. ]

[pathology]

Did he really shoot a guy six times?

[theminotaur]

Might have been five. [ she shrugs. she knows every single detail, okay, she made the doctors and nurses tell her, she read tattlecrime, she made freddie lounds tell her. she knows exactly what happened in her kitchen, but she makes it seem casual. (bluff 28) ]

[pathology]

[why did i roll sense motive on that when astrid doesn't really care???? why did i get a nat 20???? of all the fuckin useless nat 20s. SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO CALL HER ON IT BC SHE DOESN'T CARE. she's just automatically suspicious i guess. like all the hannibal characters were of abigail's entire life.] So you guys are like ... from here, right? Not Andres, like ... this world here.

[theminotaur]

Yes. [ i'm just keeping that original roll bc why would astrid be suddenly less... suspicious...? abigail can't tell, so she just keeps lying like a liar. ] I'm from Minnesota, Will is from Baltimore.

[pathology]

[INCORRECT, WILL IS FROM WOLF TRAP, VIRGINIA. not that astrid knows that, but she does know this much bc ana is a member of the dragon's light and she was there to pick up this dragon's light gossip (i rolled for it ok):] I heard Anastascia O'Keefe picked him up from a Shadowkind shelter in Atlanta.

[lurings]

[ gdi will graham why do you always foil her lies. abigail just looks at her like ok you caught me. not one iota of shame. ]

[pathology]

It's fine, like whatever. Kinda cool that you're from the same place and ended up here together, I guess. I'm not racist.

[lurings]

I think he got here first. But I got to the Knights first.

[pathology]

Yeah? I think the Knights are pretty awesome, for what they are. I mean, most of the time, when Shadowkind fall through, it's like, you're basically an illegal immigrant, right? Even if you're passing and not a Lord of the Rings reject, you don't ... exist. Not on paper. So your options are kind of shitty. I just, I dunno, I think it's nice that you ... have this.

Except for the whole war thing right now. But ... yeah.

[lurings]

[ she feels astrid so hard, head bobbing in a nod and her appreciation for the woman growing. ]

I like it. Not the war, obviously. It's better than what I had back home. [ anything would be better than living in murder house ok. she reflexively tucks her hair behind her ear. also better than jail. probably better than death, that one is up in the air. ]

[pathology]

What was back home? [besides... murder. she's not counting that. she doesn't realize the murder was home, ok.]

[lurings]

More serial killers. [ an astounding amount. like wow. ] My parents are dead so I had to live in a hospital. I had nowhere else to go. Then I spent three months hidden in a cannibal's basement.

[ and now she is on torture island. yay? ]

[pathology]

Oh. [now she's kind of staring at her like awwwwkwaaaaardddddd.]

[lurings]

Yeah. [ a beat. ] So you can see why this is better. Surprising lack of people trying to kill me.

[pathology]

Apparently. Fair, um, trigger warning, some races around here practice ritualistic cannibalism.

[lurings]

I've heard that. [ and she still doesn't sound super duper excited about it wow. she even shudders a little but other than that doesn't comment. ]

[pathology]

I don't think anyone does at the castle, though. At least not like, on the grounds. [/tries to be reassuring, ends up rambly. this is why astrid doesn't do feelings.]

[lurings]

Fred said he would jump in front of me if that came up. [ did he really????? ]

[pathology]

Fred is cool. He was my mentor.

[lurings]

[ OH LOOK SOLACE IS TALKING. (listen 16) it's not will, abigail doesn't care. she marginally cares, cora was near the prison... but hell no is abigail going near a prison. nope, no. nyet. she glances over at astrid like go go gadget medic. ]
