HAYAME ➳ PLEROMA (VOICE)
[One member of Pleroma has intentionally avoided Communion for months, but now... perhaps it can actually be of use. Now, she actually requires something that she cannot accomplish through strength or stubbornness alone, so-
A hard, cold voice barely comes through, mixed with an inexperienced jumble of vague (violent, dark) images until the words solidify as:]
Who amongst you has the ability to write?
I require a posting for the Achamite heads.
[OOC: please be warned there will be (cw: beheading) in this post]

[She’d seen once, hired to cleanse a battlefield nearby of lingering spirits, heard tale of the itako in the mountains…
“Rika”, admittedly, she likely ascribes in her mind to some sort of intensely powerful shikigami, so it makes enough sense, but…]
I am not staking them. They’re not executed prisoners.
[… Not that she wouldn’t, oops, it’s just… a different circumstance of beheading…]
They are enemy combatants. I will set them on a table.
[People here really just don’t know anything…
The chuckle makes her hackles raise, though.]
Worried isn’t what I am. I just don’t want the annoyance of voices in this shard whining at me.

( it wouldn't be very impressive to her.
there are plenty of sorcerers back home who think of rika similarly, though she technically defies the classifications of one as far as jujutsu sorcery is concerned. shikigami typically require a medium — paper talismans, shadows, strands of hair, something physical and tangible to tether them to the world and give them form. though much of her power is sealed within rika's ring under a binding vow, it isn't a medium for her form, which seems to exist invisibly around yuuta and manifests through his power. both here and back home, she's a bit of a mystery... but, then again, so is yuuta. )
Oh. Okay, sure, table them, then. ...Is that better or worse?
( yep, the contextual color for the type of beheading completely escapes him. )
They'll just go away when you put it down anyways. Don't worry about it. I mean, their heads are already cut off, right? It's not like complaining about it is gonna fix that.

Her annoyance at all these people she's "talking" to not knowing the difference between a head on a spike and one displayed on a table is... probably very clear with how inexperienced she is with Communion, but...]
It's more respectful.
[She said that with her whole chest.
But also, he is right. What do people expect her to do, just stick it back on???]
no subject
( he's going to say something stupid in 3, 2... 1... )
Well, yeah, that makes sense. If I was a head, I'd rather be placed on a table than impaled on a spike, any day.
( logic )
no subject
If you were a head, you wouldn’t want anything at all!
It’s about the difference between just execution as a criminal or serving as proof that justice was done and as a warning to others who might think to follow your filthy ways!
no subject
( he can't really think of anyone with a cursed technique like that... but he's also pretty sure that panda's head could've probably come off, just like how his arm had when he'd fought getou. but panda was full of stuffing instead of blood and guts and stuff, so maybe that's not... a great... point of reference... )
Wait. So if you're killing both the prisoner and the soldier for the sake of justice, what's the difference between staking them and tabling them again? Aren't you just putting one in prison first? ( please stop )
no subject
[So there!!!]
The difference is the message! And the rank! Do you think they put warriors and men of standing on spikes? No, they should be used to spread a message to the populace.
Common criminals can just decorate the prison gate and be content with that.
no subject
( but anyways, he'll take her word for all of it. it... mostly makes sense? )
Alright, well... I hope it sends the message you want it to.
( you know, namely that there's a giant samurai centaur woman running amok and wreaking havoc on achamite soldiers. )
no subject
But he did provide her with text to copy for the sign, so.]
The message is simple. If they pervert it, that is the fault of their own minds.
[There.]
