[Kenoma] Discussion

( ๐ŸŸฃ - Emet, ๐Ÿ”ต - 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 weโ€™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.

[ Itโ€™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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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, youโ€™ve unfortunately arrived at a tumultuous time on Horos. If this is all too much for any reason, thatโ€™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.

Wow, how cool....

[ Said just like a badass protagonist in a comic series... can you feel it, Mordred? The feeling of her eyes sparkling in excitement??? ]

Are you some kind of hero or something?

[ ... She doesn't know how to handle this?? Her voice suddenly grows far more nervous and flustered. ]

W-well, I'm a knight, so... [ Ahem. ] Most would call me a villain, but you have nothing to fear, if you remain at my side.

Hee hee, aww, you're so sweet. I guess even lady knights are chivalrous, huh?

[ Never mind the villain part, it probably doesn't matter. Way cooler to focus on the cool lady knight portion!!! She'll just continue on breezily: ]

I promise I won't burden you if we stick close together, so let's team up sometime, okay? I'll give you a helpful advantage against those guys.

[ There's a wave of something angry through the communion, a sharp stab of rage at being described as a lady knight. Don't step on that minefield... ]

That has nothing to do with it. I possess a sense of common etiquette โ€” one worthy of a future king. [ lol. anyway, ]

My sword is all the advantage I need... but if what you say is true, I have no reason to deny you. Tell me, then, how I might know you on the battlefield.

[ whoops..... she certainly didn't mean to do that,

She jumps a little on her own end from the sudden spike of rage, though (smartly) decides not to dig into that topic farther. It's clearly a sore spot... ]

[ A hint more sheepishly than she had sounded before: ]

Oh, um, if you see me around the Citadel, I look like this! You can say hi anytime.

[ She'll communion over a fairly normal image of herself, smiling in a mirror. With that out of the way, ]

Have you ever heard of Medusa? My power is a bit like that.
uproared: (saying to someone)

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-12 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pictured: talking to Mordred.

A brief image of herself flickers through in return; clad in armour, but without her helmet. A shame she'll probably be dressed ten times more skimpily when Misa actually sees her... ]


Medusa, Medusa... the gorgon woman, yes? So your power is... petrification? [ It seems she's over the accidental insult, at least. ] Impressive. But can you defend against multiple opponents with that?

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-14 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! You bet. Whoever I look at gets it, so I can switch to different people no problem.

[ So long as she doesn't get blinded by something exterior.She's probably gassing herself up more than she needs to, but she can't help herself, getting called 'impressive' like that. It makes her want to gloat a little!! ]

The only thing is, it's not so quick as a gorgon might be... but that hasn't been much of a problem for me.

Then your greatest foe would be one who conceals themselves from view, like an Assassin.

[ She emphasizes the word like it's a name, rather than just a description. ]

I could cut down a hundred of those cowards without pausing for breath. If they attempt to employ such tactics against you, then call for me. I, Saber, shall answer your summons.
lifespanned: (pic#11700862)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-15 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Saber, so that's what you're called! That's a cool name.

[ Said completely genuinely, because being named after a classy weapon seems very chic to her. And fitting, for a warrior, she guesses. ]

Call me Misa, okay? I promise to call you, but only if you promise to call on me if there's someone far away giving you trouble. I can see much farther than most, ahaha, so it's no trouble for me.
uproared: (look i just want what's best)

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-15 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Happily: ] Hah! It is cool, isn't it? The coolest name for the coolest knight!

[ Which is definitely not her. Filled with glee from the compliment, she doesn't bother trying to maintain her more serious tone from before. ]

Why limit our acquaintanceship to the battlefield, Lady Misa? I would be glad to accompany you within the city, should you have need of a knightly escort. [ Simp... ]

[ Someone suggesting they hang out with her first, without her having to drag them into it???? how the tables have turned... excitedly: ]

Really?! In that case, I'll have to show you all the best spots next time... I know, are there things you like to go shopping for, Saber? Or maybe something special you like to eat...? I'll be sure to make our outing fun for you too!

[ The wheels are already turning in her head, all the fun things she can drag this very tough, very proud seeming Saber into. A magnificent itinerary in the works.... ]
uproared: (wow i've never thought about it)

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-17 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Again, she feels a bit overwhelmed. Few ever spoke to her in Camelot, much less spent time in her presence willingly... and even though she'd been the one to extend the invitation, Misa's enthusiasm for it takes her off guard. ]

... Not particularly. I simply ate whatever was available, both on and off the battlefield. I didn't need to purchase anything, either: all the necessities for battle were provided to me, as a knight in the king's service.

[ Her early days serving her father had been joyous, but fun never entered the equation. King Arthur only performed actions necessary for his rule, and Mordred prided herself on doing the same; imitating him in every way possible so as to first equal, and then surpass him.

It's an unhelpful answer, but if the sudden, conflicting emotions coming across their communion link are any indication, it's also a completely genuine one. ]


I suppose that... I enjoy meat. And eating in the company of others. [ Not that she really could, since she had to keep her helmet on. That part is more something she longed for, rather than something she actually did. ]

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-19 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a small laugh over the connection— not directed at Mordred specifically, but.... Misa just can't hold it in. What simple, pure, cute wishes! She supposes the life of a knight is treacherous, so maybe even the plainest of pleasures seem fun. Her conflicts don't go unnoticed, either, though Misa's natural reaction to them is to try to put them at ease. ]

Well, the latter part was just guaranteed, silly.

[ She sing-songs,as if that's the most obvious thing in the world. Without knowing why her mentioning 'eating in the company of others' was significant, Misa simply assumes she prefers to be in the presence of others— mabye she's the lonely type? ]

Let's see, eating meat, surrounded by people... I'll have to find an all you can eat around here. That'd be perfect for you! And I bet you've never been to one before.

[ Based on the information she's gathered over the span of ten minutes, at least. She's confident!! ]
uproared: (this is becoming a problem?)

[personal profile] uproared 2022-08-21 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Later... ]

"All you can eat", huh? That's quite a bold claim. [ A beat, then: ] Hah! I like it! Either we'll feast to our heart's content, or cut them down for spreading such falsehoods! What could be better?

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-23 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Have a big appetite, do you? I guess a knight would need one. It's not like you could eat all the food in an entire restaurant, though, right? Or like a whole cow or something...

[ or... Could she??? she doesn't know what to expect with aions anymore, might as well just find out right now, ]
