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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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

[ claude erasure???? no im jk ]

He was the only one... that's so amazing! He must have summoned you for something crazy if it was such a big secret.

[ Though she has just enough tact to not go digging into that right away, apparently satisfied with knowing that he's a demon alone. A bit abruptly, if remembering that she's been the one asking all the questions up until this point: ]

—As for me, I'm a regular human, but I'm used to seeing all kinds of things living here, so don't be a stranger, okay? Let's be friends— I consider everyone in the Kenoma a friend of mine. Call me Misa!

[ i would never erase that tapdancing goblin of a demon, sebastian, on the other hand,,, ]

[ He does briefly consider whether to share at least the reasonable part of the terms of his contract with Ciel, but that's also forgotten in the open surprise that she surely feels in response to the rest of what she says.

Sebastian had been quite surprised for Agni to call him a friend, and Agni had no idea what he was. So it's even more surprising for a human who does to offer it so openly. He's a little baffled, and a bit uncharacteristically caught off guard by such a simple thing. ]


I... am not sure what to say, Miss Misa. You truly wish to be friends with a demon?

[ he's used to and fine with being a friendless loser demon? ]

I don't see why not! I've got no reason to be afraid of you, do I?

[ They're on the same side, it's simple as that to her. And anyway, what could he do to her, a loyal agent of the Kenoma, while in the heart of Achamoth? She's not worried about it. Besides, with the frankly cute way he seems surprised over her offer... what if he's just lonely...? Or not used to humans like her? That just makes her want to be his friend more. ]

I might be a human, but I've been friends with stranger beings. It's no big deal. Unless you're trying to say you don't want to be friends...

[ She adds, a bit teasingly. She leaves the matter of her strange friends vague, not elaborating further on whether she's referring to her time before Horos, or her time here in Achamoth. Nevertheless, the point remains: she apparently has no fear of the supernatural, obvious through her steady, bubbly ease through their connection. ]
cutlery: (same as it ever... was?)

Not at all. I do take my work seriously, so that includes alliances, of course.

[ Since "work" is pretty much how he's chosen to contexualize being in Horos at all. It may have not been a summoning to bring him here, and he may have no master he's tied to through a covenant, but the concept isn't that different. Someone has desired his power, and he has incentive enough to work towards their goal. It's an area that's surprisingly straightforward for him.

Friendship on the other hand... ]


It is merely a surprise, I would say. There is only one person that had called me a friend, and he did not know what I was. It is just not something my kind is offered? [ for completely fair reasons, which is also why he doesn't exactly mind never having it ] I admit, I would not know how to return such a sentiment, but if it pleases you, I do not object.

[ what a way to say "sure, we're friends, i guess" ]

So we're just "work friends," huh....? Well, I guess that'll do for now.

[ The implication being that she fully intends to make the move to being "real friends," eventually. Alliance is such a stuffy word, and he just openly admitted he doesn't know how to return the sentiment, but that's fine. It wouldn't be the first time she's had to gradually (forcibly) nurture an affection for her in an unwilling party. Actually, she's feeling rather confident since he at least agreed to being... "allies." ]

In that case, if you have any questions here "at work," [ Her words are shortly interrupted by a giggle. ] then I'll hope you'll rely on me, Sebastian. Or maybe I should call you Sebby?

[ she's joking................. or is she ]
cutlery: (Oooh BIG steppy!!)

Ah, I would very much appreciate the consideration. I am doing my best to learn as rapidly as possible so that I am not a bother, as there is much to be done... But should I have any questions, I will be certain to ask. If nothing else, I am grateful that you have all be quite accommodating to those of us newly arrived.

[ But he does end up laughing a little, and his tone turns more playful. ]

...And as for the name, you may call me whatever you wish. I do not mind.

[ as long as it's not sebas-chan, he's fine with nicknames rly ]
