[Kenoma] Discussion

( ๐ŸŸฃ - Emet, ๐Ÿ”ต - 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 weโ€™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.

[ Itโ€™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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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, youโ€™ve unfortunately arrived at a tumultuous time on Horos. If this is all too much for any reason, thatโ€™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.
cutlery: (isnโ€™t that Prime Directive violation?)

[ ME, SAD FOR CIEL!!!! ]

I suppose so. If nothing else, those that already possessed such ability will at least be at an advantage of experience... A normal human suddenly granted such ability would wield it clumsily for a while, I would imagine.

[ While he doesn't actually sigh, there is certainly the vibe of a sigh ]

Well, I shall look forward to sparring all the more, certainly.
cutlery: (gently sparkles)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-12 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I hope it is not coming off as bragging too badly...

[ He says with a sparkling icon, so, no. He loves the indirect praise. ]

But I hope that my skill and experience can be of use, certainly.

[ The sentiment is duly noted โ€” not like he's one to pry, let alone for someone he actually likes, let alone in such a public forum. Amos' concerns are withdrawn, back to himself, figuring that Gen will open up to him in a time and place he sees fit.

So probably never and nowhere, and that's just gonna have to be fine, too. But this'll linger in the back of his mind. ]
cutlery: (new dildos are getting ridiculous)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-12 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what a question... He considers answering honestly, but decides that it's easier to just not get into his actual diet for now. ]

Hm.... My tastes tend towards the decadent, I must confess. [ only to cook though ] So I would certainly like to sample whatever the finest dish at the table is. Ah, and to pair it with wine, naturally.

[ Preparing his congregation? ...Which would all be Achamoth citizens, would they? Howl pauses. ]

What preparations are those, may I ask? Or do you mean you're preparing them to take shelter? [ the reference to 'assistance' makes him think that isn't it. ]
galdorleod: ([black] rest)

[personal profile] galdorleod 2022-08-12 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sorry, Emet-Selch... if it helps, Howl isn't remotely thrilled at the idea of having to face her again either. ]
galdorleod: ([black] look away)

[personal profile] galdorleod 2022-08-12 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No... not exactly. I encountered him on my way back to the jail in Godsblood, after we got separated. He attacked me and stole back the Shard I'd managed to collect. I was heavily injured at the time, so it's somewhat of a blur, but I remember his face.
fallingsand: (26;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-12 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[ Makes sense, actually, but alsoโ€” ]

Alright, that's terrifying.
galdorleod: ([black] calm smile)

[personal profile] galdorleod 2022-08-12 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you know... not wanting to erase this world to create the new one. Defending all the people who'd be lost in the process. Feeling there's enough good left in this world to keep it around.

[ Most of which are not unreasonable when one thinks about it. For as much as the Regent has seen and heard the injustices of the multiverse, few Pleroma have, and Horos isn't exactly filled to the brim with daily atrocities. ]
regressor: (BOUND)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-12 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Does he? If so...]

... I have to ask.

Why are we so sure they'll come? It seems almost suicidal.
cutlery: (tell her you want to be pegged)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-12 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, so far I have few complaints, but I also do not want for very much.

[ Which might be weird for a Celebrant to say, and especially one who openly admitted to being a hedonist... But his expression of it is atypical (and bad)... ]

Horos is quite unlike my own realm and certainly not like any time or place I had been summoned, so the novelty alone is definitely something I am enjoying thus far. [ He continues just as lightly, but he's also not sure if Howl's comment was a joke at all ] Granted, with an invasion on the horizon, there is ample opportunity for that opinion to change, but I shall hope it does not slip to misery!
fallingsand: (39;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-12 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess? Yeah?

[ Misa and Gray both sure think that's somehow a skillset. Maybe it is after all.

He always just put it down to as plain old fate that he was never caught, Dolores and her super-hearing aside; why she never snitched on him remains a mystery, although it doesn't seem relevant now... now that she's gone.
]

A lot of people might be harder than just me, though.
fallingsand: (39;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-12 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's... [ Not fine, but. He sighs. ] Thank you. You don't need to have something better to say, that's really all there is to, isn't there?
fallingsand: (57;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-12 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, so it's a guessing game. Alright, let's see.

[ Bruno, no, no it isn't, and he is well aware of that but here we go anyway. Sadly for Silco, prophets tend to be experts on the cryptic. ]

Touch-based, yeah? You made that, uh, pretty obvious there, so. Green thumb? Comforting pats on the shoulder? Hmm, no, no, you. You don't seem like a plant guy or a... [ Nice guy haha. ] What else is there?

regressor: (CARMINE)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-12 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
... Mmm. That's all I can think of. That, and...

It's nice to meet you. I'm Carmine.
fallingsand: (55;)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-08-12 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, it's fine. [ Apology immediately met with an apologetic reply. ] To be honest, my visions have a bad habit of just... being bad, and... people usually don't like them.

[ Unfortunately, Bruno's an open book. He makes no attempt to hide โ€” or more like, he isn't even aware of it โ€” the resignation over the rejection of his gift yet again, even as Ciel tries to backtrack. He's used to that. ]

It's easier to show than explain, though. I'm sure I can think of something to test it with. I just need a, um. Target, I guess? Like, what the vision is meant to answer about the future?
cutlery: (man I hit a wall in Elden Ring)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-12 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, the basics then.

[ Sebastian at least understands it perfectly, but there's such a distance to his perception of it that it's little surprise that accepting the Kenoma had come easily. ]

In that case, I at least have some ideas on how to approach it, though only time will tell their effectiveness... I shall simply have to take it as a challenge.

Just think of him as the appetizer before the main course. I'm sure it will be a worthwhile adventure, nonetheless.

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-12 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're a coward. [ Tiredly: ] Why are there so many of your ilk? This is a war, not a picnic.

regressor: (SMILE)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-12 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's sort of the time for it, so if it is... perhaps it's best to get it our of your system.

I might have to be one of those people, after all.
uproared: (i think you've said enough)

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-12 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. Did he insult you or something? [ Because that's enough reason to kill someone... ]
entsetzt: (scarecrowicon10)

[personal profile] entsetzt 2022-08-12 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[A dry chuckle.] Forgive me my overcautiousness, my dear. I knew another Knight not so long ago who made the same claims, but regrettably failed to demonstrate control of his impulses, when the object of his hatred was standing before him.

His obsession with killing the enemy who had wronged him nearly brought our plans to ruin. How pleased I am to hear you will not repeat his mistakes.

Mmm, untrue, I can set fires with my mind.

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-12 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's all about the quality for you? I guess I should've expected that...

Me, I just wanna fill my stomach as fast as possible. Preferably with meat. But you'd better not drink all the wine!
