WHO || Rocky, Thea, Cassie, Deryn, Baal
WHAT || The Knights investigate a series of bugbear raids on a village
WHERE || Stenskind, Denmark
WHEN || Early Summer 2017
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

[ The quiet village of Stenskind is on edge when the Knights arrive. It has a small town vibe, but isn't without its modern amenities. However, there are visible signs of recent trouble - not a lot of people out and about, some signs of burned buildings, traffic signs bent over or pulled out by the roots. Danish police walk the streets, keeping an eye out, and keeping a close eye on the forest line at the village's edge. ]

briefing ♔ trying to put me in my place

Smack You - Kimberly Cole

WHO || Wynn, Rocky, Thea, Deryn, Cassie, Baal [Closed]
WHAT || Denmark Mission Briefing
WHERE || Round Table Room
WHEN || Early Summer 2017
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's keycard to open the glass case beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artwork depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already somehow.

squiring ♔ no pressure, no diamonds

♬ Troy - James Horner

WHO || Wynn, Hal Mason, Jyn Erso, Rocky, Benny Lafitte, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, Caitlin Snow, current Knights attending the ceremony
WHAT || May Squiring Ceremony
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || May 1st, 2017, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

The impressively large Great Hall of the castle could easily pass as a royal throne room, with its length and the red carpet leading up to a set of steps. However, there is no throne set at the top of them, and the Hall is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of Knights. And indeed, several hundred Knights stand in ranks on either side of the wide stretch of red, each wearing the traditional set of ceremonial armor in their possession.

The newest squires have been fitted to his armor after meeting with Wynn as always. It's traditional for them to appear for the first time before the Knighthood wearing it and they are assured that only a very small number of the Knights make use of their armor for other circumstances. It does, however, create an intimidating sense of unity as they stand shoulder to shoulder in rank and file to receive their newest pledges. There's an air of something unsettling in the air - this is, after all, the first ceremony to be held here since the attack on the castle, and while the room maintains its usual air of majesty, it's hard to ignore that the atmosphere has changed for many Knights who once considered this place unassailable.

They enter together, with a flair of orchestral music that fills the hall with as much pomp as possible. It's a lot like that last scene in A New Hope which seems more appropriate than ever. Yeah, you thought I was going to get through an entire post being all serious, didn't you.

At the top of the steps, Wynn waits, wearing a sword on his belt that canny eyes† might recognize as familiar. Mark has, after all, brought it back with him from Andres - the famed sword, Excalibur.

It's one hell of a long walk past all those staring, curious eyes. Luckily, it's a long musical number.
