KENOMA | voice, forward-dated to the onset of tdm dreams
[ Hello resident Kenomies, guess who???
Actually if you have no idea who this asshole is, that's okay, because rest assured he doesn't want to get to know most of you either. Unfortunately, business calls, and for the sake of not looking like an absolute gaggle of buffoons in front of the Regent a second time, everyone's neighborhood-(un)friendly furry is here to begrudgingly use Mind Twitter™ to make a public briefing.
It's largely voice only, because Eustace prefers to keep things impersonal, and shot through with an undercurrent of business-like terseness. ]
I'll make this quick. Many of us here don't have the experience to engage in a fistfight, let alone any sort of actual war. [ Or whatever the hell is going on here with the Regent and their plan for world destruction. ] For those of you with no combat experience but wanting to learn, Ciel and I are willing to teach you. Both of us are skilled in hand-to-hand combat, battlefield strategy, as well as various weapons. Emet-Selch has also volunteered his services, if you're looking for something outside the usual sphere.
[ Like magic, maybe.
But wait, there's more! From a different person no less. Still voice, and maybe some may recognize this one as part of a very exclusive club of Kenomas who not only did NOT get chewed out by the Regent, but also seemed to have gained their approval?? She’s sounding just as serious, but oddly also gives off the vibes of a science teacher of some sort, hm…]
I am not well placed to teach it, but I do have experience and understanding of magic. The possibilities in Horos are far greater too, the Regent themselves have said that anyone can develop powerful abilities regardless of their beginnings. According to Xishen, Aion powers don't adhere to any particular ruleset, they are mainly reflective of the person developing them: their wants, their needs, their expectations, towards themselves and the world around them. Those of us who already have supernatural powers merely retain traits we used to have in our previous lives.
Knowing that, we can help each other form ideas for personalized abilities you may wish to develop. They do not necessarily have to be combat oriented either, having combat oriented application is enough. For example, conjuring light: such a power would be most practical in navigating across low visibility spaces, but can be used to blind someone else in a pinch. Ways to harness it inwards instead of trying to influence your environment outwards can also be effective, such as reinforcing your own body to become stronger and more durable if you were mainly used to physical brawls before. Don’t be restricted by ideas of magic if you only knew it as fiction before, there’s much that can be done.
[ Eustace is happy to let Ciel explain this particular bit, because he sure as hell has no practical experience in this department. He's already moving on to cover something else anyway. ]
Additionally, preparation includes researching the opposition. If you know anything about the Pleroma, especially about any skills or powers they have, let the rest of us know.
We’ll start things off and group them by individual, prioritizing the strongest ones in combat. Please feel free to add names or faces, it’s fine if they’re a stranger as long as you remember what they look like and the powers they exhibited. I’ll be making a physical copy of notes for what we compile, it will be available to reference on demand.
[ Thanks for being the minutes keeper, Ciel. To close everything out, there's one last switch back to Eustace. ]
If you have any questions, ask.
[ There are indeed such things as stupid questions here, but at least the Regent won't be the one judging you for them. Maybe.

OOC NOTES—
TL;DR: IC training offer/regain ideas power brainstorming/Pleroma shittalking powers notes comparing 3-for-1! We can handwave the training montages, for the two other points threadjacking is highly encouraged! Pleroma info compiling will happen under its separate TL, feel free to add new TLs under that with a name or url to someone’s icon (because why bother learning what the enemy is called, right) in the subject line if it’s someone your character would ICly want to draw attention to, it’s what Ciel and Eustace are doing based after their own PVP experiences. As per mod clarification to communion, this transmission will “float” around for about a day, which should give characters the opportunity to pitch in on whatever topic they want. We hope this all made sense! Feel free to ping us in the Discord/shoot us a PM with any OOC questions.
Also just in case: black = Eustace, blue = Ciel. ]

[Unlike Eustace Ciel will volunteer for anything and everything, the only downside being there's only one of her. She did agree to protect her back in the caves after all, joke or not.]
no subject
[ See how she doesn't care if she's a burden to Eustace, but when it's Ciel?? She can't go getting in the way of a fellow girlboss. ]
I'll make sure my power will be useful to you first, okay? You're already so strong on your own, you might not even need my help. But I'll tell you if I have plans!!
[ And while she would most definitely feel 1000% better having someone so tough to protect her, she'd likely also feel a little guilty keeping one of their best fighters by her side. The big picture is what counts, after all. ]
no subject
Of course~! It's only natural that we look out for each other. We all start somewhere too, so please don't feel pressured as if you have to get better on your own. With how new everything here is to us and how dangerous and unpredictable a conflict can turn [--and how incomplete their data about the Pleroma is too tbh--], every little bit of support counts. So please don't hold back and let me know if you'd like help with anything, plans or training or anything else!
[The supportive and cheery "yaas gurl slay" vibes can't possibly be faked here, so just hit a fellow sis up if anything comes to mind, alright!!]
no subject
[ """"that other guy"" being emet, who she's scared of learning from solely based on his current (by the time of this convo) status. Sometimes you are a cult follower!! And you're a petty mean girl!! ]
Maybe when I have some of the things I'm planning to buy [ read: weapons she thinks look cool ] I'll ask you for a lesson!
