Who: Open to Camelot and Friends (BYOT)
When: Thanksgiving (Event happens at 5:45pm)
Where: Avalon

The Gym was decorated with holiday decor and tables and chairs had been set out in rows. A long table at one end was reserved for the King and Queen and their Knights of the Round (opposite them at the same table their families sat). Along the far walls food was served cafeteria style with lower knights and squires helping to dish out food before getting their own plates and taking a seat. A few of the community partook of food and left, but many took seats and stayed. The King's son could be seen helping by handing people corn or a small cob of corn for a while until he was replaced and he joined his father at the table.

Once everyone had been served (some had already started eating as a lot of people were fed there was no kibosh on eating early), the King and Queen stood to give welcome and thanks for everyone joining. A reminder was given to everyone to stay safe and if anyone wanted company on the way home they just had to find a knight and ask.

At 5:26pm Lancelot received a text about possible Cybermen in the territory. The team said they'd report in when they knew more, and when asked if they needed back up didn't believe it necessary at that point. Arthur and Guinevere were informed and the three of them started to make arrangements for a larger patrol that night.

At 5:45pm one of the squires came in, sheet white and reported to Arthur and Guin that something was happening outside. When the two, along with Lancelot (and unfortunately others who were curious what was happening), went outside they saw their four man patrol strung up on light posts that lined the walkway leading to Avalon's front door. And they were burning.

Esme

Once Esme and Jason were told to look at something, what came next was like a movie. She watched as her men were burning, the smell alone was horrible. "On it." Was all Esme said as she started moving others back into the building. "Let's get everyone back inside." She said in a stern tone as she made sure none of the children, especially Jason son would see what was happening outside.

Once everyone was inside, Esme would look to those knights and squires around. "No one leaves alone. Anyone who does go home is to be escorted by two people. Take them home and come straight back." She said as those around nodded and went to check on the others.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips, she was pissed. But she had to make sure everyone was okay. Before she and Jason talked about what steps to take next.

Esme/Mickey

Mickey had a great time at the dinner. He had been a welcome guest, along with his mother, and it was quite honestly the first time in a long time that either of them felt like they belonged. When the King and Queen were alerted of something being afoot he exchanged a look with Zel. They both knew that things weren't good between the red and white, but it wasn't like they chose to fall in love with who they did.

He told his mother to stay with the Kennedys, who assured her that she would be OK and he excused himself before helping to get the children as far away as possible, getting the older ones who knew that there was something going on to start an activity to keep the younger ones distracted for as long as they needed to be. Mickey may not have been their leader, but they listened to them all the same.

Once the children were secure, Mickey made his way to the front door. As he opened it, the smell overwhelmed him. The beautiful aromas of the turkey dinner couldn't even get rid of what was now presented to him. He frowned, knowing exactly who the victims were. He didn't have to know them by name, he had seen how young they were and how nice they were when they had greeted him and his mother when they walked in. It was senseless, but it was also war. One that he was simply an ally in, but there were certain lines that should never be crossed, even in cases of war.

He found Esme and walked over to, bringing an arm around her and kissing her temple. "I'd be willing to launch a cyber attack after this," he shook his head, looking over to the sheets. He let the door close once more and held his girlfriend close. He knew that ultimately, this was Jason's call, but in his mind, things weren't any different than they had been a few months ago when he had offered his services.

From the distance, she watched as Jason and Digs exchanged words. And as Mickey approached she watched the officer leave, giving her a slight nod of his head. Politely she returned it just as Mickey kissed her temple. A sigh escaped her lips once he pulled her into a close embrace. "That's up to Jason." She replied as she came to look at him. Pulling away slightly as she exhaled.

It wasn't because she didn't want to be in his arms, but more so she was in Queen mode right now. "Without any evidence of who did this" Despite them knowing who it was. "We can't form any attacks off assumptions, we need proof on who it was before we can strike."

Slowly she shook her head as she kissed him quickly. "Thank you though... Right now, that means a lot to us.. To me."
