[Kenoma] Discussion

[lachtara]

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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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

[Though Carmine does her best to maintain a steady pace, there are occasional breaks in her stride, as if she's just... tired. Just very tired. But she seems to appreciate the consideration.]

That's a nice record so far... I hope you keep it up.

[The picture she's been painted by some other members of the sect she's spoke to so far had included quite a bit of vioence and grapples for power... so technically, it did seem notable he had supposedly not been injured enough to need those services in that many months' time. Or perhaps the others had been exaggerating. She didn't yet know who was more accurate in their representation of this world, it would need to come with her own observations, in time.]

I'll ask them.

[The infirmary staff should at least be able to tell her what equipment there was available in this place. If there was anything like a phlebotomy kit, or if such technology was beyond the level of this world's advancement. But until then...

She puts a smile on her face again.]

After the rest of the tour.

[One in which she will strike the delicate balance between "capable of casual small talk" and "a coworker wishing to do their job well". Between the kitchens, the library, and the training ground, she shares just a bit about herself as it comes to be relevant commentary. She liked to bake sweetbreads, a recipe she learned from a woman she stayed with when she first fell ill. She liked a book called Family Happiness, but she doubts they have it in this library. She used to be much more physically fit, it's been five years or so since she was, though, she'll have to try and get back in shape if they expect all of the Kenoma to do their part.

And by the end of things, when he leaves her at the entrance to the infirmary... she seems just a bit more invigorated than before, as if having blossomed under his instructions.

Certainly enough to thank him for the tour, and to promise she'll do something for him in return. As for when she'll get that chance, well... that depends on their enemies.]
