[PLEROMA] | I heard a rumor...
[ The communion is clear, practiced, and clipped. Business-like. ]
We have quite a few new arrivals, so... Welcome to the Pleroma. I am sure we will all have the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you, but it's often polite to introduce oneself, isn't it? My name is Akua Sahelian, and I speak to you now of what I wish were a warm welcome, but instead, of serious tidings.
I do not know how many of you have been introduced to the wider group, or how much information you've been presented, so allow me to give you all a basics, hm?
If you can hear this, you have accepted the Pleroma. You may have already met one, or many of them, but regardless if you met them before -- we oppose the Kenoma -- perhaps not the individuals, but the... force of kenoma itself. Pleroma and Kenoma are no mere forces of Good and Evil -- The Kenoma would destroy this world -- and all worlds -- to rebirth a world of their own making from the ashes. If you have joined with us, then you have found perhaps something to save here -- or perhaps you believe that your world is still out there. Some do, but I will not promise that which I cannot see with my own eyes. Whatever has brought you to us, I'm afraid that I cannot promise an easy fight -- or an easy existence here. Even now, the Kenoma have captured two of our own, and I have no doubt that they will come out with an experience that only a True Villain by the name of the Regent could craft. [ In communion, it sounds like a Title, a Name. ]
We will have to rescue them, and though I wish I could say that only those that are willing to fight should come, the truth of it is that we must collectively join together. There is no choice, and we will need every willing person to join in, to save our allies. If you have experienced combat before -- of any sort -- your experience will be more than welcome. If you do not, please reach out to one us, and we will find a place for you. We all have...grand and great talents, and we'll need every single one, to find victory when our allies are eventually retrieved. You will be needed, no matter what your experience was before you arrived, you will be able to find some use of your unique talents. Please, if you are new, speak up, tell us about yourselves, and ask your questions. I'm sure someone will answer it. Even the smallest of talents, can mean the difference between losing more of our allies an assets, or victory.
I cannot provide details at this time -- no plans have been set -- but I will tell you to be ready.
Speaking of being ready, however... I must turn a part of our discussion to something just as serious, but in a different vein. I think it clear, that we will have to continue to fight those who have signed on to the Kenoma, and while it's an inevitability, particularly in these times -- we need to assess our enemies. We will want to share the names, the abilities, and the demeanors of our enemies, those in the Kenoma who may be a threat, those who would be weak to physical threat, or...
[ A pause, then. ]
I was...dissipated recently. As I regrew, I... knew something. [ Her voice now almost sounds...authoritative. Like she is Speaking something of great import, the communion gives her words an emphasis that she can only imagine, as it would not work in person. ]
While no Sovereign, they are sovereign in this land, and though their plans have been thwarted in some small ways, they have been given a gift. The gift of knowing the true hearts of their followers, one way or the other. They have no use for the frail and the convictionless, after all. Venera and Godsblood are not the only ones that face culling, as the light of the Sovereign fades.
I believe... there may be individuals within the kenoma that have less conviction than others. They may be willing to help, or even defect, although we will be racing against the Regent's own touch. We may wish to seek them out, and free them from the Kenoma, they may come willingly, but they may also come by force. If you have spoken to those who lack conviction for their Sect, please, share that as well. It may be invaluable. If we know who lacks the resolve to stay with them, we can then pursue them, convince them, or bring them to our bases, to be convinced. I know some may find that unpleasant work -- but... Well, let's just say occasionally, capturing your enemy and teaching them of your perspective works.
I'd know.
[ A pause, before: ] Well, now. Please chime in, I shouldn't do all of the talking.

Luo Binghe
[It's Binghe!!]
I've only encountered this particular Kenoma twice, and am yet unsure of what to make of him. His motivations and abilities both largely remain a mystery to me, but I will attempt to share what I know. I first encountered him in Venera, when he attacked me while I was in the grip of the contagion. He cornered me, and then tried to... Um...
[...There's really no delicate way to put this.]
...He. Attempted to get me to drink some of his blood.
At the time I hadn't the slightest understanding of why, since he offered little in the way of explanation and opted to use force to try and secure my compliance, but my second encounter with him, which came more recently, shed some light on the matter: his claim is that his blood holds healing properties, and he was merely trying to cure me of the disease.
[A significant pause.]
...I'm sure I shouldn't have to tell you all this, but. If he should make you this offer, I'd. Er. Strongly advise, that you not take it. I don't know whether he was telling the truth of the matter, but the fact remains that we have other... Less, um. Disgusting? Methods of healing available...? Ones which don't involve drinking a strange man's vital fluids.
[So. Yeah! Have fun discussing that tidbit!]
There isn't much else I can tell you beyond that, besides some general observations. He seems fairly short tempered in demeanor, and he doesn't seem to care much for boundaries or propriety when it comes to personal space. If anyone has more information to share, I'd welcome it.

He is faster and stronger than a human should be, and his blade is possessed by some sort of... foul energy. He also took my hooves to the chest and remained standing, somehow, so he either heals or feels less pain.
That man does not even believe the Regent is responsible for destroying our worlds, despite the Regent's own claim... and despite following him still. He is simply a selfish coward afraid to die with his world who thinks that others should perish as well if his is gone.
[............ no, she doesn't know his name, either.]
no subject
...Wonderful. So he's some sort of devil-powered freak as well.
...Wait... so he believes his world is gone, but he doesn't believe that the Regent is responsible? Who or what does he suspect is responsible, then?
no subject
He did not say.
no subject
Strangely enough, I can't say I entirely disagree with him. He's right to be skeptical of the Regent's claim... They've provided nothing in the way of proof, and it's entirely to their benefit for us to take them at their word on it.
no subject
He is but gambling that if his world is doomed he wishes every other to be doomed along with it.
no subject
If it's healing, I'm sure he will have none to spare for us this time. But we should be mindful if he's tending to the Kenoma. Luckily it sounds... easy to spot.
no subject
...Sorry, a... A necromancer? I'm not familiar...

I suppose that does sound like it fits the bill...
