KENOMA // voice+memory

[ This takes place the evening after the first event described in the Event Wrap Up post, the entity having withdrawn its influence from Venera.

Binghe is in a bit of a bad mood, having had to haul Makoto's unconscious body out of the street when he would have preferred to drop him in the ocean, and as things are currently he can't really be bothered to pretend that he's not. There's some attempt to be polite, but mostly he sounds kind of tired and cranky. ]


My apologies for the interruption. I am Luo Binghe. No doubt many of you have heard at least a little of what has happened lately in Venera. I was there for the event at the heart of it, so I thought perhaps it would be of some use to share a few of the details.

I am sure it will not come as any great shock to learn it seems to have been the fault of that dog Estinien Wyrmblood. The spirit that seems to have been responsible for what has been happening was so angered by his death that it appeared to smite anyone who tried to keep it from... I don't know, I think it wanted his shard. I don't know what it would have done with it. Kept him as a pet, perhaps, in one of its illusions.

If I am honest, whatever this thing was it seemed rather simple, like the ghost of a child, but it clearly possessed immense power. The Aions of Pleroma who were there, their unconvincing promises about—taking care of him in its stead, that kind of thing. That was enough to convince it to retreat.

I think it did something to them, though. I'll show you.

[ He shares his memory of this moment, when the mass of wings demanded that those gathered keep their promise, grasping onto those closest to it with its ethereal hands.

The image fades and Binghe's voice resumes: ]


So the problem has been solved, but only temporarily. The spirit was not destroyed, and it seems if these Aions fail to fulfil its whims it may return with something worse. It might not be so easy to persuade next time.

It doesn't like it when people try to hurt it.

[ he is so helpful....... sorry, gray. ]

[ Mr. Kaeya........ ]

I see...

[ If the lesson is "do not attack," she guesses that's good enough for her..... ]

Though I'm a little worried that the other Legacies might not be as, um, negotiable as this one.

Maybe not. I imagine some would be downright unreasonable, [ like firebrands or something ] but I have no way of proving that right now.

Of course, there's no guarantee we'll encounter the other Legacies like this one either.

If it happened once, I can only imagine it will happen again... In which case, I hope you'll be sure to run far away if you see one.

[ Please!! ]

Which Legacy is yours, Mr. Kaeya?

Oh, don't worry. I'll run once I know I won't survive its attacks.

[ he did say he has an appropriate amount, not an abundance, of self-preservation. ]

As for my Legacy, I was told it's the one called Lover.

[ He gets another albeit smaller puff of satisfaction for his prudence. She probably can't expect someone with gods-given magic to be flee at the first sign of danger, but at least he sounds happy to flee when necessary. ]

That month just passed...

[ That seems to be all she was after because she continues with complete sincerity, ]

Then please continue to practice an appropriate amount of self-preservation.

I could say the same to you. It's fortunate that the entity this time around wasn't interested in harming you, but who can say if that will hold true for others?

[ if there will even be a next time, that is... ]

Do be careful, Gray.

I will.

[ He doesn't need to tell her twice. She'll be the last person to take an overpowered spirit lightly. With that confident (for her) reassurance, she signs off of their mindlink to go... get reinfected with Innocence plague, probably. ]
