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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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

Syrlya
[ See: this mental image of a tree-looking dude with a shield and sword. ]
He was part of the group that retrieved the prisoner in Godsblood. He was able to use barrier magecraft... And, ah, he can put arrays on the ground that hurt to step in, but if you put your mind to it, you can kind of ignore it.
[ not actually advisable, these are bad circles ]
no subject
[ said in most flippant, least sensitive way possible. im so sorry to syrlya, she's just a petty and ignorant mean girl ]
He can teleport? Or make copies of himself? I saw him do it in the Celebrant shrine, but he knocked me out before I could learn more... he was annoying, too.
no subject
[ you're scandalizing gray ]
It sounds like he can do a lot of different things... Did your eyes not work on him?
no subject
[ Unfortunately.... she has yet to join the short girl super physically strong club. But maybe one day, ]
Still, it didn't look like he could dispel it. Even with all those powers.
no subject
I had to try a few times, but I was able to hit him through his shield and barriers eventually... so it might just take a more concentrated effort to fight him.
[ the power of friendship...... and bloodlust probably ]
no subject
[ There's a note of humor folded into that last question, but to be honest? With her restricting his movements, and with Gray being able to take on the more brutal aspects of fighting him? She has no doubt they really would be able to pull it off. ]
no subject
[ She's caught by surprise; hardly anyone asks for her help without her insisting nowadays. It's just a sad fact that she's currently surrounded by (semi-)responsible adults. But it's nice to be relied on... even though Misa might just be teasing her. ]
I know you were injured in Godsblood... Let's do everything we can to prevent that from happening again.
no subject
[ She's doing the mental equivalent of winking and giving her a thumbs up, totally in approval and confidence. ]
no subject
no subject
[ The fire weakness, not the spriggan comparison. A flaming death sounds objectively awful, but clearly it's Syrlya's fault for being so resistant to every other avenue? ]
I wonder if there's anyone who knows fire spells.
no subject
no subject
I don't think the Regent would be happy if we set the city on fire, either...
no subject
[ Petulantly, like a child called out for saying something stupid. Because that's literally what she is. ]
no subject
Maybe you could... light your weapon on fire?
[ she finishes feebly because even she knows this sounds dumb ]
no subject
Are you a fool? That sort of thing is the domain of the Knight of the Sun, not I. [ ... ] ... But a flaming sword, huh? Hm... [ She wants one... ]
no subject
The Knight of the Sun? Do you mean... um. [ Full stop. ] Is your identity supposed to be a secret?
no subject
[ Then stop leaving giant clues in mind twitter, idiot. ]
no subject
Would your identity really put you at a disadvantage?
[ She only has elementary knowledge about Holy Grail Wars, not the ins and outs of participating in them... ]
no subject
[ After a pause: ] ... Personally, I don't really care if people know who I am. I have no regrets over the life I lived, nor any guilt. But it seems prudent to act as a Servant would, until the time comes to reveal myself. [ Ominous... ]
no subject
More importantly, Gray decides not to mention that Mordred's legends as Gray knows them weren't especially illuminating except to show that Mordred was a rather ornery character — true to life — and that she was brought down by King Arthur's lance, which Gray also decides not to mention she's in the possession of. So really, Mordred blew the point of her secrecy from day one when she announced her name to Gray, but Gray is happy to let her think she's doing great. Why make things awkward if she doesn't have to. ]
Um... to reveal yourself... I think I understand.
[ She's talking about her Noble Phantasm?? Gray thinks?? ]
Since you're a Servant, do you have a Master...?

[ Hell, the teleportation made him so much more annoying. ]
Said he was a... [ ... Sylvari, but... ] Fuck, I don't remember. Some kinda plant alien I guess. [ Nailed it. ]
Anyway, he's one of those ones that's full of himself. [ But who isn't among the Pleroma? ] No real point arguing with him unless you wanna waste a whole lotta time running around in circles.
no subject
Did you end up fighting him...?
no subject
[ But if he could have just landed one good blow... the wistfulness shines through for a moment. ]
I don't know if he just wanted to give me shit or if there was something else going on there.
no subject
He's really good at making himself hard to hit with magic, too. Must be ingrained into the melee combat style he trained himself in.
no subject
His barriers really seem troublesome... I wonder if he has any particular weaknesses.
