[Kenoma] Discussion

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 Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do.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

Ah... Is this working? Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

Hello... Everyone? My name is Carmine... I'm not really sure what to say about myself. It's been a long time since I've had to fight anyone... and my body isn't in the best condition anymore... But I'd like to be of help, if I'm needed.

My powers are... rather destructive.

I'd rather not use them unless I have to, though...
regressor: (TURNAROUND)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ah… I’m sorry, maybe it sounded like I meant I didn’t want to be cooperative…

I do.

It’s just… I don’t want to hurt any of you or the people who live in this city by accident. If you’re the strategist… maybe you could make sure that doesn’t happen… ?
regressor: (RESIGN)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I would prefer that, yes…

Thank you, sir. Any time or place is fine with me… as long as I can find it. I haven’t got the layout of this place down just yet…
regressor: (BLUNT)

[These retainers had the potential to be useful. She would have to see about assuring that she received one that could be made proper use of, while also being trustworthy enough to keep physically near her. A matter for later.

First... She had to ascertain what the other Kenoma had to offer.

So she follows Emet-Selch's retainer to the training grounds. He'll see a petite, unassuming slip of a woman, noticably underweight and malnourished, with sallow skin, dull hair, and somewhat deadened eyes above deep bags under her eyes. But when she is pointed to the man she's come to meet by his servant... a slight, somewhat awkward smile appears on her face, and she raises a hand (with two splinted fingers) to offer in a handshake.]


You must be Emet-Selch... Sir?

[Until she understood better... manners were the safest route.]

[ She'll bite... ]

Hello. My name is Gray... Um, what kind of powers do you have?

[ She feels like she should know, if only to get out of the way as efficiently as possible... ]
regressor: (INTERROGATION)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, ā€œGrayā€ā€¦ Miss Gray?

[She stares out with that, but…]

They’re a little hard to explain… honestly, I don’t really understand the science myself. But I can make things happen to people and things without touching them.

Horrible things.
gravings: (042)

[personal profile] gravings 2022-08-11 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Some people would find confidence in that power, but Carmine seems haunted by it. It seems terribly sad... and in a small way, Gray feels like she can relate. ]

Does it strain you to use them?
regressor: (GIVING UP)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
… Yes, it does.
gravings: (050)

[personal profile] gravings 2022-08-11 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Then... is there anything we can do to help you if your powers become necessary?
regressor: (QUIET)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
There’s a few things.

I might just need… a lot of space. For one thing. Where I can do it and not worry about hurting anyone I shouldn’t.

And after… maybe if someone can take care of me. I hate to be a burden, but… I might be tired.

[I should probably start eating more…

baltimores: (083; without being a good person)

[personal profile] baltimores 2022-08-11 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. Name's Amos.

[ She sounds somewhat hesitant; Amos'll do his best to convey something supportive. We're all friends here. Or at least we're supposed to be. ]

Destructive ain't a bad thing if it gets the job done. You just got here, though? Don't stress it. You'll probably be more up to it in time.

[ A beat, and then, with a bit more cheer, ] You could always be an ace in the hole, if it comes to it.
regressor: (LOST)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, Amos… I can hear you. As odd as this is…

I just don’t want to hurt anyone I shouldn’t. If those Pleroma people need to be taken care of, I could probably help a lot, but…

We don’t want to kill a hundred people just to kill one, do we?

[… that’s an answer she’s interested in. do we?]
baltimores: (131; anyone who wants to leave…)

[personal profile] baltimores 2022-08-11 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, takes a bit to get used to it.

[ Her response does give him pause, though. Shit, she's got that kind of power? Her uncertainty is noted. And, in a way, kind of admired. ]

Not if we can help it, we don't.

But this is war. There are going to be casualties. If it can't be helped, then it can't be helped.

... Maybe try to be ready. Just in case.
regressor: (RECOLLECTION)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
How long did it take you… ? I suppose I should prepare to be here… for the foreseeable future.

[Hmm…]

I’m a little rusty. But I’ll try to be. Ready.

It feels like the people here almost worship us… I don’t want to give them a reason to hate us.
baltimores: (090; people are tribal)

[personal profile] baltimores 2022-08-11 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Not that long. Depends how often you use it, I guess. 'cept some parts're weirder than others.

[ That whole. Feeling others' emotions thing. Your own coming through at the same time.

He's never really going to get a handle on that. ]


All any of us can really do is try. Don't think you've got anything to worry about, though. They're not gonna hate us.

[ He has no proof with which to back that statement up, though there's a sense of knowing as he says it. Full confidence, and it might even be inexplicably earned. If all they have to do is exist to be worshipped, then they're probably safe in these peoples' books. ]
regressor: (INSIGNIFICANT)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that’s how it is any place…

[The emotions thing she’s at least learned she’ll have to be careful with. During communion, she keeps her presence so unobtrusive as to barely be noticeable, so small that it’s distracting to try and make the words out to keep people from noticing the guarded walls. In person, she apparently shouldn’t let anyone touch her shard…]

Are you sure?

[She tries to sound worried.]

In my world… People like me were hated.

Feared.

regressor: (RECOLLECTION)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-11 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ah… I don’t suppose there’s anything wrong with it as a concept. No.

But if it’s used haphazardly… I don’t know enough about this place yet.

… To not maybe hurt a lot of people fighting just one.

There's likely little danger, there.

[The way she’s playing it for now… Oh, no, they might… how terrible.]

Be out of the way of everyone else.

… and crowded buildings.
zauneyete: (Calming down)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-08-12 04:02 am (UTC)(link)

Ah, yes.

Well, property damage is bound to happen. Might as well be for our cause.
regressor: (DARK)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
People usually care a bit more about the collateral damage, but... Yes.

The stakes are... very high.
