PLEROMA | VOICE, ALSO FORWARD DATED TO AROUND THEN

[Estinien still isn't sure how he feels about this method of communication, but now that it seems like something may be on the horizon, he'll sacrifice his mental well-being to get it done. He pushes inexpertly into the psychic realm, reaching out to all of those touched by the Pleroma.

It comes through roughly like his voice, but with a persistent sense of wary anticipation tinging it.]


Hail. This is Estinien Wyrmblood... with any luck, I have been able to reach you.

My dreams have been plagued by queer echoes of the selfsame vision we all had upon our arrival. It feels as if the shrines are once again stirring, and that more lost souls have fallen within their hold. If so, we can be sure that the Regent and their new thralls will one more move to claim the victims as prisoners.

We cannot allow this to happen. This time, I plan to meet the Kenoma's forces head-on, challenging them for the strategic positions around the shrines they took for granted last time. I know that not all of us have the training or abilities required to fight against such odds, but for those that do, I implore you to join me. 'Tis possible that we can spare these new arrivals the same dire fate.

Regardless of whether you join me on the field, I would find great value in knowing everything you can offer concerning the nature of the Kenoma's Aion forces. I fought a handful of them in the caverns, but many more escaped my focus.

For those that will lend their strength, but who have gone to the city... it is now within our power to guide you to our more secure location. There are those we can confer here that will help us plan our best way forward.

[At this point, he will let his message drift. Compiling information and threadjacking are very much welcomed! We are shamelessly ripping off the Kenoma here.]

[ because his bleeding heart diatribe didn't endear Estinien to him enough, now he's going to talk about CielElesia!! ]

...It may be wishful thinking, but-- I don't think that woman was truly trying to prevent us from leaving. If she was--

[ well. frankly, Abel doesn't think they would have made it out of there - not without permanently putting her down, first. ]

She's incredibly strong and inhumanly fast. I'd warn against close combat. In fact, I'd advise you just run away if you see her.

And the whip... She knows how to use it like our captors to put you under her influence.

[ ... No? Nobody else? Just him? ]

She has a talent for martial arts, certainly. I fought with her, briefly, but when my power to create a firearm manifested I was able to force her back.

[Caitlyn's thoughts here are rather...muddled.]

She's a strange person. She went over to the enemy almost immediately, but also seemed to be caring for those of us who were injured or suffering badly prior to our escape. I have a feeling she thinks of herself as some sort of martyr.

I'd argue with that nothing exceptional. The guy nailed me pretty good when he tossed one of those daggers into me.

Not sure what his deal is, honestly, but he seems to know a pretty good amount about fighting and weaponry. I'm guessing some kind of soldier or mercenary before coming here?

His name is Eustace. He's not much of a talker and stubborn about it, too. The annoying lone wolf-type.

He's an expert marksman. I've seen him hit a small target from a formidable distance. He's also told me himself that he's skilled with most weapons, with a preference for firearms. I'd say maintain your distance but it wouldn't help.

[ Get absolutely read, Eustace. ]

I hail from the country he became ruler of, though he was known as Solus zos Galvus, founding emperor of the Garlenean Empire, and looked significantly older than how he appears to us here. Though I am not the sort to bring it up often, I am the son of a high-ranking member of the military, and met him on more than one occasion in my youth.

I can't deny anything Estinien has said about him, I defected from Garlemald for a reason, but I will say in Garlemald he is much beloved as Emperor Solus. Our national dish is named after a time he unexpectedly visited troops during a military exercise, and sat down for supper with them.

Mayhap it was all an act, but I'm not entirely convinced.

That being said, I've no idea how to begin to confront him. His goal was to save his world, it seems odd now that he would abandon that goal in favor of despair.

[ It's hard to describe Emet-Selch, especially knowing what she does now. But the man she spoke with back in the caves was certainly the culmination of his own worst fears. Not someone to be taken lightly. ]

No, he did not. I can only assume he didn't think it worth the effort.

[ That, at least, is consistent across his lifetimes. ]

As Estinien said, his main goal is to return the world to what it was once. Unfortunately for the result of, that meant destroying what has become now. He wasn't always this way and a part of me believes that that part of him can still be appealed to...but that doesn't mean he should be taken lightly. Or that we should count on it.

He seems to believe that the Kenoma may offer him a new way to bring his world back though he didn't sound like he was fully confident in it either. I believe he'll align himself with whatever gives him the most favorable outcome.

CHILDE

[ she's been listening to all the conversations all this time and also debating if she should say something. they want to survive, don't they? in any case, she projects an image of childe. ]

Childe or Tartaglia has extensive combat experience, can use Hydro and Electro magic and summon a whale, and is proficient with any weapon you can think of. Even if he can't aim a bow to save his life and would rather throw the arrow instead ...

[ shots fired, pew pew.

should she say about his foul legacy form? ... no, she'll keep that to herself, for now. loyalties, etc.

I understand everyone owes him a beating, but can I have the first punch?

Silco, the Industrialist

[personal profile] superbshot 2022-04-17 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Caitlyn can at least offer information about this smug guy. She knows him quite well at this point.]

This man is named Silco, a man from my homeworld. I should note for transparency's sake that he is a personal enemy of mine due to my status as law enforcement at home and his operations as a crime boss.

He is on the aged side of things, getting closer to fifty, and he is in relatively poor health due to a lifetime of smoking and what I believe is exposure to toxic chemicals. Silco is a drug-dealer by trade, distributing a drug known as Shimmer throughout the city of Zaun, and it's quite possible that he can reproduce Shimmer here in this world.

Personally, I would not consider him a major threat to anyone possessing supernatural abilities due to his advanced age, but he is an incredibly vicious man who favors knives. He may be dangerous in other ways. He is also highly intelligent and will attempt to distract you to gain the upper-hand. It should be noted that he prefers skullduggery and backstabbing if forced to fight, and he is faster than he looks. He is an experienced streetbrawler, presumably from his youth.

If Silco manages to recreate Shimmer here, then that may be an issue, as it bestows supernatural speed and strength on anyone that ingests it for a time, but it wracks the body in the aftermath of a high. Shimmer is an iridescent purple and causes the eyes to glow the same way, so if you see an opponent exhibiting such, use caution.

If you are forced to deal with him, don't let him sway you with words. He's got a black heart, and he really only cares for power and profit, outside of a limited circle of associates he regards as family. I do not have evidence of the presence of his associates at this time.

[The conjured image allows a few things to click for Kim about meeting Silco before he could properly see.]

Ah.

[Unclear if that thought is shared entirely voluntarily, but the weight of contempt and the lack of surprise are very intentional.]
