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[ This takes place the evening after the first event described in the Event Wrap Up post, the entity having withdrawn its influence from Venera.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

[ The only dog she can think of on that side is a cute, fluffy, golden retriever?? Is there an ugly one over there all this time??? ]
But I mean... wait... this is a dogboy we're talking about, right? Can guys be ugly cute?
[ wouldn't that just make them plain ugly??? ]
no subject
Like Mr. Eustace?
[ A dogboy, she means. She missed the second question. ]
no subject
[ Look, talking about dogboys is way more important than (wide gesture to everything this post is about,) ]
I thought they must be talking about another one of those types on their side... right?
no subject
The man I am speaking of has an ordinary human appearance, excepting his height and his ears, which could perhaps be compared to a dog's, if you meant a dog with mange. The comparison was meant as an insult—although he deserves worse.
no subject
Luo Binghe's description continues to just sound like Eustace except for the mange, and Gray descends into two seconds of confused and distressed silence before another normally filtered thought comes bubbling out. ]
I think there might be better ways to insult someone... I think everyone likes dogs?
[ extremely important, ]
no subject
A dog is a lowly, grovelling, worthless animal. What would you call him instead?
no subject
[ this conversation gives her the sense this guy has never met a cute dog before??? ]
There's too many dogboys to get confused with if I were to call him that.
no subject
I think there must be things that are universally disliked... like, um, pimples.[??] Though it might be better to avoid namecalling altogether.
[ Yes, let's all just be peaceful and polite. ]
no subject
extremely begrudgingly: ] I suppose it could be confusing. But I'm not calling him a pimple.
