[For all that he's forgotten, Merlin still remembers a time when he would sleep whenever and wherever he had the chance. He also remembers Arthur catching him when he was supposed to be doing his chores, and the stocks (or mostly just the threat of them.)]

[That had changed with time - with maturity and responsibility. Merlin eventually became one of the last in the castle to fall asleep and one of the first to rise. Months removed from that, Merlin could (and probably should) be getting a good night's rest, because there's always the chance of a mission and no shortage of new things to learn. But instead he's sneaking outside, when most of headquarters has already gone silent and dark.]

[Merlin sits down on the grass with a sigh, takes a moment to admire the night sky that's a constant source of reassurance. It hasn't changed.]

[And neither has he, apparently.]

Draca.

[Merlin smiles at the glowing outline of the Pendragon dragon that forms in front of him, like he's greeting an old friend.]

WHAT || The Flight back to Knights' headquarters
WHERE || On the jet
WHEN || Saturday night into Sunday morning, March 7-8 Backdated
HOW || Actionspam

[This log is for any in-flight interactions on the Knight's jet plane ride back from the mission site. Feel free to make your own threads/threadjack, etc. The flight time is approx nine and a half hours.

The mood of the flight is obviously a whole lot more somber than the flight out, given that Francesca's body is being transported in a body bag for potential resurrection.

The good news, however, is the effect Francesca's death had on the mission. Between Christos, Katniss, and Thomas, the Municipal building was spared a few lives, and the man who Francesca had attempted to save in the last few moments of her life had lived. His name was Pyotr Yakovlev and he turned out to have a substantial amount of pull with the military. After seeing what they were up againt, considering so many powerful personnel had been easily executed by invisible drow assassins, he agreed that the Mayor had been right: they were up against something they could never fight on their own, and their only chance for survival might be outreaching for peace with the sun elves after all. The destruction of the tunnels seemed to have deterred drow attacks on the sun elf city, which seems to have bought some time for a real coalition to formulate.

Of course, all of that is only a small comfort, when someone had to die to attain it - even if they'd managed to complete an impossible seeming mission. ]

WHAT || Settling into the mission HQ
WHERE || Various locales, Magadan, Russia
WHEN || Wed Mar 7th through Wed March 21st (superbackdating go)
HOW || Actionspam

It's a chilly 28 degrees or so out when the Knights land in Russia. The mountains that they flew over looked anything but hospitable, and there was certainly no sign of any movement on the surface. It hardly looks like territory worth fighting over living in, certainly.

The city itself, however, has proven to be much larger and more bustling, as thousands of inhabitants go about their business in the shadow of the mountain. The diplomatic group gets the cushy digs: Francesca, Ethan, and Arthur, while Thomas, Katniss, Christos, and Merlin separate from the rest of the group to stay at a low rent motel that will act as their headquarters for the time being. Luthir set out within a day of their arrival to travel to the sun elf settlement to try and gauge the political climate and any changes that had occurred while he was gone. Elves being elves, it took him about a week and a half before he returned. In the meantime, Thomas and Christos set out to investigate the entrances to these underground tunnels to try and create a map of where they affected the city, as well as the sun elf settlement.

The diplomats have been kept under close scrutiny, but have gotten an equal change to gauge the tension in the air here in the city. Unsurprisingly, things are looking particularly bleak...

There will be a bunch of threads up soon for actual plot relevant events, it just might take me a day or two! I'll ping people as threads go up.]

[ ♫ ]Destiny Will Wait-Two Steps From Hell

WHO || Alainn and Merlin, ota; if you wanna just threadjack/bump into them
WHAT || Alainn teaching Merlin about the finer aspects of technology.
WHERE || The Knights HQ: In the lounge just outside of the Dragon's Fire.
WHEN || Backdated Thursday, February 16th. Just a few minutes past 9:00 am.
HOW || Prose or Actionspam, whichever you prefer!

Merlin would, for the second morning in a row, be disturbed up by an insistent bird pecking at his door. This time, however, it was not one of Sir Thomas's "borrowed" owls, but Fede, Alainn's ever-so-charming hawk. When he opens the door to receive his guest, Merlin would be quickly assaulted by a lot of feathers to the face as she invites herself in, swoops through his room and to his dresser, where she proceeds to hop around apparently in search of something.

When she finds this certain item she somehow manages to pick it up and fly it over to Merlin and drop it into his hands, landing on his shoulder. He would notice a piece of parchment tied to her leg where, upon reading it, it would say "Press the Green Button now!"

The phone (cuz that's what it was that Fede had found for him) would start to buzz in his hand, all the different lights and buttons on it suddenly glowing, though there was thankfully only one Green Button. Now, banking on the fact that Merlin won't drop and break the phone, all he has to do is press the mysterious Green Button and find out what this could possibly be...

WHO || Wynn, Thomas, Christos, Francesca, Luthir, Arthur, Merlin, Katniss, Ethan [Closed]
WHAT || Russia Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the Round Table room
WHEN || Mon, Feb 27th, shortly before 5pm.
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 access card to open the glass class 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 artworks 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. Wynn will be with you all shortly.

[Merlin would actually be woken by a bird pecking at his door insistently: a fluffy gray owl, to be precise, that hoots and hoots until he opens the door and then flutters a ways down the hall to land on top of a suit of armor there. It stares at him expectantly, somehow managing to look quite put out. ]

♬ Can't Take It In - Imogen Heap

WHO || Wynn, the new Squires, any and all Knights
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Feast & Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Dining Hall & Ballroom
WHEN || February 9th, 2012, 7:00PM / 9:00 PM
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam

While every dinner served in the Knights' exceptionally large Dining Hall manages to have a sense of occasion, given the sheer quantity of food necessary to serve the hundreds who take their meals there, the 'feast' Wynn's ordered for after this squiring party outdoes the norm. It's not a problem to produce so much food at the drop of the hat when mages can magically summon up entire banquets, and so the room teems over with the smells and spices of hundreds of unique dishes. Centerpieces built with peacock feathers and sweet smelling flowers dot the table at intervals. A silver cage in the very middle of the table includes several live birds, their feet and tufts each appearing to be silver as well. A banner hangs from the top of the cage, with the Knight's symbol of a black dragon on a silver field.

The food has a distinctly medieval flair to it today, which several of the older Shadowkind Knights express their boisterous appreciation for as they dive in. The first course consists of a civet of hare, a quarter of salted stag, a stuffed chicken and a loin of veal, the latter two covered with a German sauce with gilt sugar-plums and pomegranate seeds. At each end of the table is an enormous pie, surmounted with smaller pies, which form a crown. The crust of the large ones is silvered all round and gilt at the top; each contains a whole roe-deer, a gosling, three capons, six chickens, ten pigeons, and one young rabbit. Serving as seasoning or stuffing, a minced loin of veal, two pounds of fat, and twenty-six hard-boiled eggs, covered with saffron and flavoured with cloves.

A second course follows: aroe-deer, a pig, a sturgeon cooked in parsley and vinegar, and covered with powdered ginger; a kid, two goslings, twelve chickens, as many pigeons, six young rabbits, two herons, a leveret, a fat capon stuffed, four chickens covered with yolks of eggs and sprinkled with spiced powder de Duc, and even a wild boar.

Next came wafers and stars; a jelly, part white and part blue. A fourth course of cream with Duc powder, covered with fennel seeds preserved in sugar; a white cream, cheese in slices, and strawberries; and, lastly, plums stewed in rose-water.

Besides these four courses, there's a fifth, entirely composed of wines, and of preserves, which consist of fruits and various sweet pastries in the shapes of dragons.

WHAT || A second February Squiring Ceremony...? WHAT GO ON
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || February 9th, 2012, 6:00PM
HOW || Actionspam
MUSIC || ♬ King Arthur - Steve Mazzaro

The incredibly sudden announcement yesterday of an impending Squiring Ceremony to occur today has caused considerable uproar among the more seasoned knights, who have been talking non-stop about what in the world the break from general tradition could be about. Mentions of an incredible feast to follow, before the usual ball aren't doing much to die down the gossip either. So it's hardly surprising that the Great Hall is packed to the brim with everyone who could potentially attend, craning their necks to try and see what the big deal is. As before, the Knights stand in ranks on either side of the wide stretch of red carpet, each wearing the traditional set of ceremonial armor in their possession, worked in dark blue and silvers.

Wynn seems to be waiting with a great deal more expectation than usual for the doors to open and reveal the squires, each garbed in their own newly fitted suit of armor, as is the tradition for the ceremony. It's striking as always how much of a sense of importance the event is given just by the uniform appearance of the Knights, as they stand shoulder to shoulder in rank and file to receive their newest pledges. Wynn's eyes are fastened on the door at the end of the Hall, seeming to stand more proudly than ever, one hand on the sword† hilt at his side.

The music sounds: loud, bold, proud swells, a military march. Just as the group did last week, the seven new squires are ushered inside as the large doors swing open slowly, walking in a line, side by side, past the ranks of their soon-to-be brothers and sisters in arms. There's a lot more hushed whispering rolling through the crowd this time, however, as people speculate what in the world is going on here.

Now would be a really awkward time to face plant, squires.
