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.]

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?
goldendeceiver: (i'll take back the city for me)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-14 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it didn't seem like he was a caster to me either. Still, you give a guy the right weapons, and he can be just as dangerous as one.

I'm kind of hoping not to cross paths with him again, to be honest. I imagine whatever their situation is, they're probably going to be much better armed than they were last time we saw them.

[ What a genuinely admirable guy. Ernesto does respect the hell out of that. ]

No, we can't. I agree with you there. If we're in need of supplies, I think those of us in the city are in a better position to grab weapons and items as needed before we regroup though.

Think you could get us a list of requests? We'll see what we can do with the funds we have.

[ You just have to be willing to make money through... questionable means.

Don't worry about the details.
]

I can't speak for all of us, but I think most of us have been living pretty frugally since coming here. It's let us save up as we make a little money here and there. I think I can probably manage a spear and a sword at least.

No promise I've got enough to get something really high quality, but I used to be a weapons dealer. I should be able to find something decent for the two of you, even if I have to do it on a budget.
goldendeceiver: (god knows you put your life)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-15 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding? I'm not sure what all of you have been up to exactly, but that sounds handy.

And I imagine you'll blend in just fine. The pointier ears seem to be pretty common among a lot of people here. I've even been able to ditch my hooded cloak without too much fuss being made.

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. ]
goldendeceiver: (no need to)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Eustace, huh? Good to know...

You didn't know the name of the bastard who stabbed you until now?
goldendeceiver: (into its hands)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-14 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
He refused to tell me when we were on better terms.

That cagey idiot...
goldendeceiver: (no need to)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-14 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I kind of get it though. When I asked him, he said he wouldn't tell me unless we made it out of the cavern alive. I got the feeling he was trying to keep himself closed off, and given the situation I can't exactly blame him.

[ FROWNS...... can you feel him frowning through their connection yes ]

... You better stab him back if you see him.
goldendeceiver: (your broken records and words)

[personal profile] goldendeceiver 2022-04-15 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather not if I don't have to.

[personal profile] salvageable 2022-04-15 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'll stab him for you.

Yeah.

[ But Eustace doesn't have a tail? Maybe it was Lost..... ]

I guess his personality was rather cat-like.

[ He doesn't know his animals, but Estinien sounds like the expert here so he'll go with Eustace being a catman. ]
