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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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

You lose your hand and get stabbed by the same being two months later, and you'll also stop being quite so shocked by all of this, I can assure you.

It takes adjustment, but you've simply... been pulled in by the undertow. You'll have to learn to swim, if you wish to survive.

[ Ah, Silco. Always with the drowning metaphors. ]
settingup: (i'm running and i'm just enough)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-08-15 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Holy shit... ]

That really happened to you?

[ Here?! I-is that going to happen to him? ]
zauneyete: (What were the terms and conditions)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-15 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It really happened to me.

[ It's dry, when he says it. ]

Would you believe... before this I just ran a bar?

[ The "Just", of course, is the lie. He wasn't that normal, he was a drug kingpin. ]
settingup: (no no no)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-08-16 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You're kiddin' me....

[ BRO... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK THOUGH?

What the hell is going to happen to him in his world...? The immediate panicked spike is nice and "loud" through the shard connection.
]
zauneyete: (smug)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-18 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Do I sound like I'm "kidding", boy?

[ He might be downplaying other things, but... ]

You don't really have much of a choice now, do you? You may as well accept it, rather than... getting upset with each new detail.

You are entitled to...one tantrum, though. Guaranteed.
settingup: (uh-oh)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-08-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Somehow this is hitting him harder than any other conversation he's had so far. Even if Silco is being a little dishonest about how normal he is, the prospect of a seemingly normal man having gone through all of this is putting into perspective for him just what he's in for... ]

I ain't just gonna accept gettin' mauled and losin' bits!
zauneyete: (Oh you)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-22 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Good, you shouldn't.

[ It's said bluntly, plainly. ] You'll just have to become strong, like the rest of us are, and learn to operate within this new...very different reality.
settingup: (running to the waves below)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-08-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
So what... the rest of you just pick up weapons and start swingin' until you're good at it in a month or something?

[ It took him years of grueling work to be as good as he is at the sport he plays, and he can't imagine it's any different when it comes to combat. He's at a huge disadvantage not knowing anything about fighting, and while he'll still train, he has to wonder just how steep that learning curve is going to be.

And how painful.
]
zauneyete: (this is a horrible little man)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not.

I'm not a fighter. [ It's said with all of the derision one can muster, for something like that. ]

That doesn't mean that you won't be able to, oh -- perhaps convince those that need convincing, to join in. Or perhaps you'll gain the power to heal.

There's a wealth of possibilities.
settingup: (i see another mountain to climb)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-08-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
To heal?

[ Do you hear that? That lack of enthusiasm in his voice at that prospect.

This boy was apparently never meant to be a cleric of any sort.
]

I ain't good at convincin' anyone of anything anyway.
zauneyete: (Shifts Eyes right)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-25 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ A snort, and a smirk. ]

We'll hope that you get a martial power then, hm?

Otherwise, you'll have to learn

[ Martial power certainly would be easier for him. He's good at hitting things hard and fast mostly.

The way this guy talks though... it's got real villain vibes to it, but Atsumu is writing that off as best he can, because he's at least not purposefully riling the kid up like some of the others have.
]

I'll leave it to you if that's something you're good at.
zauneyete: (I have so much shimmer)

weeps my broken html....

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-28 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I had to be.

[ There's a shrug. ] One can't...inspire, or run a city, without learning to tell people what to do -- nicely.

[ That's fair Atsumu. He is a villain, but he doesn't think of himself as one. Gen thought the same thing, though so it's fine. ]

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find something that will make you fit...right in with the rest of us.
settingup: (i see another mountain to climb)

it's okay! we're pretending that didn't even happen

[personal profile] settingup 2022-09-04 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sometimes you might just be a normie, but you get a real off vibe from a guy. He’s not saying anything about it this time, but there’s an obvious spike of incredulousness at the word “nicely” being tacked onto the end of that statement. ]

It ain’t that comfortin’ to hear something like that.

[ Look, he doesn’t want to die, but uh… considering how messed up everyone else seems to be…? ]
