HAYAME ➳ PLEROMA (VOICE)

[warmare]

[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]

Comments

[dragonmount]

For the what?

[warmare]

[Was her message not going through? Tch, this is what she gets for attempting magic-]

The Achamite heads.

1/2

[dragonmount]

[ he really spends a full minute staring at his shard, like

opens mouth closes mouth ]

[dragonmount]

[ with a tone like, this might as well be happening, ]

Why have you got Achamite heads?

[warmare]

Why?

[The question is so foreign to her that honestly... She's confused. Why... ?]

Have you yet to claim one? Or are there more of the Kenoma ilk in Godsblood than the Regent's black soldiers?

[And, as if he might not be aware-]

Supposedly the Kenoma heads will disappear, there is little point to displaying them.

[dragonmount]

[ HAHAHA WE'RE GOING TO scoot right past the topic of killing achamite soldiers, wow, who would do such a thing,,, ]

You're going to display them? What, in Venera?

[ well, he reflects, she did mention needing signs. ]

[warmare]

[He doesn't answer... Of course, he must be embarrassed if he has yet to take one. (Like she'd been, once.)]

Where else?

[Well, actually-]

If there were a proper general here to present them, too... That Tehri woman, perhaps...

But I have no brine. There are other concerns.

[dragonmount]

[ there are many concerns, yes.

a pause, then, ]

How many heads do you have?

[ JUST TO. GET AN IDEA OF WHAT HE'S DEALING WITH HERE. ]

[warmare]

Two.

[So… far…]

[dragonmount]

[ oh, that's not so bad actually. ]

Do you think you could, [ suggesting this is just how he lives his life now, he guesses, ] wait on taking more until you come back? To bring to Tehri.

[ sorry tehri. ]

[warmare]

Why would I wait?

[It’s still so bizarre to her, that something so obvious and accepted in her own world would baffle someone]

The more I take, the more I prove my skill. The more the Regent’s men fear battle against me.

[dragonmount]

[ as if reminding her, ]

You haven't any brine.

[ HE'S BEING SENSIBLE, clearly. ]

[warmare]

[See, that is a problem, but… if she’s bringing them to that Tehri woman…]

If I have to, I could just cut the topknots-

[… gods be damned these people didn’t even have the right hairstyles—]

The hair from these early ones if they start to spoil. The fresher ones should make the journey.

[dragonmount]

I'm sure that'll be more than convincing enough [ about your skILL ] to her.

[ he is not even going to argue about the displaying in venera thing, pleNTY OF PEOPLE are doing that already. ]

[warmare]

Now if only she was an actual leader.

[Is Hayame a democracy hater who doesn't get how they could be a so-called sect without a clear Number One? Maybe.]

[dragonmount]

[ listen. does rand even know what a democracy is? p. probably not. ]

Isn't she?

[ though he kind of sees hayame's point. tehri doesn't really give them orders or the like, is more a source of information and guidance. ]

[warmare]

No.

[... She sounds pretty sure of that.]

She said to me that she was "one of many leaders in the Resistance".

[And to her... that doesn't make sense.]

[dragonmount]

Huh.

[ yeah, he guesses that makes sense. ]

I've never spoken to her much, to be honest.

[warmare]

I demanded a single audience.

[... She actually displayed her version of manners, but whether that came across...]

But I did not receive a single satisfactory answer.

[dragonmount]

I've been hard-pressed to find any of those in Horos.

[ wry. if only literally anyone knew what was going on, ]

[warmare]

I cannot believe they claim to have had aions a century past and yet still have not a single accursed answer. That is so much time to have found a way back-

[And if they hadn't, if that Tehri woman had been here that long and found no way to return to her own world...]
