[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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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.

It's nice to see that you're so committed.

[ not surprising, given how that whole recruitment went down... ]

We're counting on you. And afterwards, I'd like to see what makes you 'one hell of a butler'.

[ :) ]

Not to worry, Misa. I'll make sure to give them a difficult time.

[ are things going to end well? who knows. only time will tell. ]

[ It's fine. He also thinks that way, and she and her girlfriend partner just pushed a tower on him. ]

Quite so. She was rather useless during our last encounter. Mind, that could change, but... I find it highly unlikely.

[ Wrong. He's going to be wrong. ]
zauneyete: (light em up)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-13 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes. I now know who to call when I want my cigar lit. [ A beat. ]

I can do that too you know. It's hardly impressive these days.

[ Yes, Silco has been learning his cantrips. Everyone marvel at that fact. ]
zauneyete: (sob story)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-13 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I believe you already answered your question, merely by guessing.

[ Silco knew who was in Piltover, after all. He'd had to manipulate them, and listening to Marcus prattle on at times about the dangerous ones gave him a bit of an insight. Mind, while Silco thought she was dangerous, it was a personal dangerous. He was the type to take things personally, after all. Planning revenge for half a decade just...did that to people. ] ]

She's made a nice little distraction from the frivolities to play enforcer.
zauneyete: (What were the terms and conditions)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-13 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ A pause.

Oops.
]

Oh, I wouldn't know anything about that. You'll have to ask about, and see if you can find any who would admit it.

[ When some stranger catches him on his way to the training grounds, his kneejerk reaction is to ignore it and continue on his way. He doesn't owe anyone his time after all, and he's hardly been in a sociable mood. But, well ...

Maybe it's because he doesn't recognize this woman -- who can be pinpointed as a newly-minted Kenoma Aion quickly enough with a brief squint of True Sight -- and it piques his curiosity. Or maybe it's because she looks so pathetic that he has to assume dealing with her will be effortless and easy. Or maybe it's because he's just been that fucking tired lately and thus willing to procrastinate on his training a bit, but. For whatever reason, he finds himself stopping to look to Havoc. ]


... yeah, I've been here a while.

[ The impression he gives off isn't a particularly pleasant one. His tone of voice is a brusque deadpan, his expression trained into a hardened stare. But if one can see past the dark shadows under his eyes, it's not hard to guess that he's still a teenager -- the line of his jaw, the rounder edge to his cheekbones, and the texture of his skin are all lacking in the distinct sharpness and weathering that comes with age.

Even if he carries himself with all the grace of a seasoned thug, fixing Havoc with a flat stare. ]


What're you looking for, lady.

[ There's something he finds distantly pleasing about such easy, direct orders, even though they would make most balk. It's probably just a bit natural to him. Not all demons chose to make contracts and follow orders, but there was always something he enjoyed about it, and these circumstances could hardly be better suited to his kind. ]

Understood in both respects. I shall keep a close eye on our allies, since at least expedient rescue and retrieval is also something I would say I am well familiar with.

[ Taking care of a very normal human had its advantages, he guesses ]
cutlery: please do not take! (too bad mirrors aren't real)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-13 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, would you?

[ He of course focuses on acknowledging... his bad joke... because of course he does ]

Well! Personally, I would advocate my culinary skills. I quite enjoy cooking, and my dishes are very literally suited to royalty. I would hope that my skills would be able to produce the best meal you have ever had, to be honest.
cutlery: (i s2g)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-13 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, then somewhat different!

[ ...He was never glad to take them on, exactly. It was forced upon him, and Ciel was just exceptionally lucky that Sebastian had ended up taking enjoyment from them. But. ]

But the manner of speaking is certainly similar, so... If you would indulge my curiosity, as it is something I am still thinking on myself. How do you find it here, not having a master?
cutlery: please do not take! (too bad mirrors aren't real)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-13 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps so! As protecting allies is a great priority, please, do not hesitate to rely on me.

[ At least he takes his orders seriously... A small positive of being a demon ]
cutlery: please do not take! (been gay for years and I'm waterproof)

[personal profile] cutlery 2022-08-13 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Very much so. There is something I find especially charming about food that not only accomplishes its simple purpose, but also provides a full sensory experience. It truly elevates the whole thing.

[ meaning, he's pretentious ]

Ah, but you needn't worry for the wine! I truly never would be so rude as to hoard it all for myself. Drink is certainly best with company, yes?
zauneyete: (Ring light look)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-13 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ So formal. Silco paused. Was he too catty? No, he's never too catty, that point cannot be reached.

But, the man backed off, so he should offer him some guidance.
]

You would be in good company either way. You'll find a little in both the chaotic camps, and the more... restrained camps.

It isn't really up to what my opinion on it is, though, so your reassurances aren't quite necessary. No need to be so serious about it.

[ Says a guy serious about almost everything. ]
zauneyete: (Shifts Eyes right)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-13 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ A scoff. ] No, I am certainly not a Plant Guy.

You'll just have to wait. I don't make it a habit of...advertising.

[ A pause. There is a yawning chasm of angst behind it, like an elephant trying to hide behind a tree. ]

...Even before I came here, it has been some time.

[Crane has never had a working moral compass, and he finds that very fortunate. Batman had allies, his proteges and various helpers, and though he'd done his best to keep them at arm's length, it was by targeting those allies—Barbara Gordon and her father, the current model of Robin—rather than Batman himself, that had led to Crane's ultimate victory, however cut short it might have been by his world's dissolution. The fact that the majority of the Kenoma do not share that weakness, those bonds of loyalty and camaraderie that get in the way of The Mission, is welcome. It means no distractions.]

Well then, I shall endeavour not to disappoint, though I'm confident the results will be to your liking, Mister...?

Only you just did? Kind of? Now I'm not going to stop wondering what it is and you're not going to tell me.

[ Mordred is just opinionated, it's fine, fiiiine. ]

Useful about hiding... what, you mean like helping the Achamites evacuate? Is it really going to get that bad?

Of course. I also plan to collate the information being given for the Pleroma, for what it is worth. It is perhaps being set in my ways, but I simply prefer something written to this, I must admit... But regardless, having organized dossiers for our foes would be a helpful asset that I am happy to provide.

[ It's a sensation that's a surprise to him, since you like your master? What a concept. But Sebastian's mood stays easy and light. ]

Ah, how loyal... Though you have my apologies, naturally. It must be especially difficult here if so.
regressor: (DOWNCAST)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-13 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Hmm.]

If I have to ask around hoping someone would "admit" it... It sounds like something I'm not supposed to ask about.

[And surely a nice senior Kenoma would warn her if that was the case...]

... Hi, Bruno.

[Is it? Is the question, but-]

I meant it. "Good luck".
