[Kenoma] Discussion

( 🟣 - Emet, πŸ”΅ - Ciel )

Good Evening.

There are some within our ranks who we have not had the pleasure of meeting. I am Emet-Selch. Ciel and I serve as tacticians and teachers to the Kenoma.

I function as acting counsel for devising strategies. Additionally, some of you may find yourself in possession of new magical abilities that you did not have before. I am available to assist you with honing your newfound magical skills. To those of you who find yourself injured, I can provide my magic to heal your wounds so that you may be hale and whole once more.

[ He sighs. My, is this a mouthful. ]


My name is Ciel. I am versed in martial arts and am proficient with most types of weaponry. There are various means of developing melee combat prowess across Achamoth, but if you would like personalized instructions at any level, please contact me and we’ll arrange for a schedule. I can also perform magical healing along with Father Paul.

Unfortunately, We do not have much time for pleasantries. The Pleroma will soon be at our doorstep. Their goal is to retrieve their allies who remain captive inside our walls, and our goal is to lure them deep within the Citadel where we may enact our own plans. You will be provided assignments once it is closer to the promised hour. Prepare in your own way meanwhile; The Citadel is host to all manners of weaponry and the army's training grounds.

[ It’s kept a little vague and unspecific. Though they do intend to give adequate information, there is also no question that they have had traitors in their midst as of late. Everything will be doled out with due caution. Although, there will be a silent message sent to each person asking them to respond with some information of their abilities. ]


We are at war, bloodshed is inevitable. We will be attacked soon, and we must defend our keep. Consider this communion address a formal hub for discussion and organization of the battle to come. We will begin with information sharing of the Pleroma: knowing their names, appearances, and capabilities will better prepare us in dealing with them in combat. Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do. Anything you may have witnessed at the shrines can be helpful, including other newcomers you may have met that did not return to Achamoth..

To the third wave of newly awoken Aions, it is regrettable that we cannot welcome you better, you’ve unfortunately arrived at a tumultuous time on Horos. If this is all too much for any reason, that’s fine. Contact me privately, and we can at least arrange for you to be somewhere safe during this. To those used to wielding great power, please get some practice in and verify your new limits. Becoming an Aion may have weakened you, do not let that catch you off-guard on the battlefield.


To those who are new, introduce yourselves and ask any questions you have. We will answer your questions as best we can, and I encourage our fellow Kenoma to chime in where they may. Do try to keep your questions interesting enough to be worth reading.

Are you and Ciel assigning me somewhere specific, gramps?

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-11 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Yeah...

Uh, probably? Julieta got along with everyone, way more than Pepa or I ever did. She would have loved new recipes.

Yeah, can't give you something to be laughing your ass off about, I guess.
cutlery: (gently sparkles)

SIGHS MORE HEAVILY

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, of course.

[ He sure doesn't seem offended! Wow! ]

I am simply one hell of a butler.
cutlery: (this is so overly sweet I'm going to vom)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well!! He is going to take it as praise! Because he refuses to perceive any other possibility! ]

Thank you very much. It is quite a lot, I know, so my apologies for speaking so at length.

[ Yoo Joonghyuk signed off at XX:XX PM.

he's out ]
cutlery: please do not take! (his calves are glorious)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, very much so, to be quite honest. There is something to be said for the idea of it being in our very nature.

[ And yet, he still says it so politely and pleasantly that he might as well be talking about his favorite kind of weather... ]
cutlery: please do not take! (been gay for years and I'm waterproof)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that's fair honestly ]
fallingsand: (37;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-11 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
How good am I at running away?

[ Really? Uh. Good question? ]

Wellll, I hid in a village for, like, a whole decade, and no one ever caught or found me, but I'm not sure that's a skill so much as... not... wanting to confront people...

[The last time Amos said as much, Liem accepted the offer with politeness, but no real intention of ever taking him up on it. Now, although the offer seems no more or less genuine than before, he considers for the first time that he might actually call it in.]

Of course.

And if there is ever anything I can do to assist you, please let me know.

Johnny

[personal profile] expiera 2022-08-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a regular image attached of a jock (literal) in a wheelchair.]

This man's name is Johnny.

[Ciel got it thanks to Misa's help. Anytime you find yourself wondering "literal who", check with Misamisa! It's honestly a huge asset to be able to ID basically everyone, true MVP tbh.]

Do not be misled by his disability. The man cannot walk, but he has a special ability with his fingernails. He spins them and shoots them like bullets, they are capable of warping both space and matter. He can include himself in his bullets too to travel over distances, I've seen him fight up close back in Godsblood.

[And Ciel is including memory footage as 1. transmitting memories directly IS possible through communion, good to show the newbies as a direct example, 2. she really did get a close and personal look at whatever the heck Tusk does Johnny is capable of, and 3. she left him a burning crisp anyway even if he shot her in the leg so he was kinda worse off tbh, lol. TLDR:
β†’ Something busts into the cell room, a wormhole ft Johnny's upper body poking out
β†’ There's something pinkish around him (???), it's what Ciel could perceive
β†’ He shoots his fingernails, and they spin. Yeah she's not exaggerating. He can suck himself into his bullets and they're quite destructive (nvm the fact that Ciel is throwing swords too but w/e it's from her POV)
β†’ But as 'warped space', you can also supposedly throw things in after him. She manages to fling a Black Key engraved with the cremation rite into the wormhole he made for himself, at the cost of her POV tilting like a camera being knocked askew and a splash of red and her periphery: it's when her own kneecap got shot, no gore warning and don't mind it since the actual injury never comes into view.
β†’ The end result is crispy charred BBQ Johnny whom she couldn't finish off because some big ghost entity came out to protect him, and that's where the feed ends; it thoroughly covers what she's witnessed of his abilities.]


I would also appreciate more information about that ghostly entity, it must be attached to one of the Pleromas in Godsblood who came out to rescue Vaeka. Please start a new [top level] discussion if anyone has more information about that spirit.

Can we fight sometime?
vapour: (pic#15103302)

[personal profile] vapour 2022-08-11 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a real warrior. I like it.

Finally, it feels like its been forever.

Running is as good a start as any.

What else can you do?
cutlery: (Step Up 30: Antbarktica)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly. It would be my pleasure, since it is good to keep one's skills sharp, especially considering the circumstances. Though if I may return the question slightly, do you also enjoy fighting, or is this more business or for enjoyment?
vapour: (pic#15074376)

[personal profile] vapour 2022-08-11 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's definite excitement coming from this side of the communion space, even if it's technically silent. ]


I enjoy nothing better! There's nothing more desirable to me than fighting strong opponents and learning to become even stronger from them. Nothing compares to any part of it.

[ oh... so far as he's capable of feeling it, sebastian can't help but find the enthusiasm a little charming! ]

That is good to hear, then. I think I will prove to be quite an adequate opponent, in that case! There may be some adjustment on my end, as I shall have to learn my own new limits the hard way, but how better than a fight taken seriously? And of course, I do hope I am able to learn from you as well, sir.
vapour: (Default)

[personal profile] vapour 2022-08-11 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah he's especially excited to hear Sebastian saying his powers are clearly less than they usually are. To Childe that can only mean that this individual has to be really promising somehow, right? ]

Can't wait, it's been a long time since I got to face anyone quite like a demon. [ he noticed that information with Emet-Selch, which helped pique his interest further ]

I'll let you choose the time because you just arrived and may want focus on other things prior. Ah, right, you said your name is Sebastian?

I'm Tartaglia. Most people call me Childe, though.

[ unlike everyone so far, here's kaeya who appears to appreciate the very thorough list. he can only hope sebastian sees and hears him clap because of how amazed he is. ]

You're a man of many talents, Sebastian. I look forward to seeing you in action.

[ that is: he can't wait to popcorn. ]
cutlery: (room temp IQ on that one)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You said indulge!! So he did!! Gosh!! But, no, it's a response he's well used to after serving the young master, so his response is simple. ]

Understood.

[ And so, more importantly, ]

...Well. It is always a bit surprising, but not unheard of. If my fellow Aions are in need of etiquette lessons, I can certainly provide, though I will be the first to say I am a strict teacher.
cutlery: (tell her you want to be pegged)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? Was it demons here, or at home, out of curiosity?

[ Since at least where he's from, running into an actual demon is exceptionally rare, so he's curious! But that is just curiosity, so he continues regardless. ]

It is a pleasure, Mr. Childe. I suppose the question of "when" very much depends on the sort of fight you would like. If you would like something a bit more serious, then I am afraid it will have to wait until this business of the upcoming invasion is resolved. From what Miss Ciel said, it would be unwise to get into too much of a spat and need to recover.

[personal profile] subsist 2022-08-11 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I take offense at your words, good sir. When have I ever laughed at you?

[ oh, he knows when, but he wants to hear what childe has to say. ]
