kenoma [backdated to firaseri 17th]

[sterngaze]

[Around dawn on the day of the prisoners’ scheduled burning, a Kenoma-wide ping goes out to both the early risers and to those who might still be in bed. To those who are light sleepers and might be woken up by a communion notification, well… sorry about that. At least the information is pertinent to the day’s activities. Liem’s crisp, businesslike voice can be heard once the message is accessed.]

Good morning, everyone. I have news relating to the conflict we’re expecting to see today:

As we’re expecting to contest the Pleroma’s efforts to traverse the city, I’ve been organizing the distribution of supplies throughout Achamoth, in support of our efforts. Should you need replacement weapons or ammunition, medical supplies, or even just drinkable water, you can visit any of these locations rather than needing to fall back to the Citadel itself.

[An image of a map appears vividly over the communion, marked with numbered points throughout the city. Accompanying this image is a list that associates every number with a more detailed location, such as “Our Dark Regent’s Church of the Exalted Dissolution: side entrance” or “7th Street Guard Station: main entrance.” A large number of the entries on the list appear to be churches.

There is also a short list of items outlining what can be found at each supply point, including quivers of both arrows and crossbow bolts, various smaller handheld weapons, spare bowstrings, bottled water, and bandages and salves to stop bleeding.]

If you would benefit from access to items that are not already on this list, please alert me right away. I will be overseeing the distribution of supplies throughout the morning, so I will do my best to ensure that any last-minute additions are included.

Thank you for this, Liem. It will surely save lives.

[ As Howl is tucking the various locations displayed into the back of his mind for near-future reference, the bigger issue of Liem himself comes to the forefront. He's heard by now about what he did in Venera, and what happened after. Nothing but vague rumors, but seeing as how those same rumors mentioned Barnaby in the same breath and then turned out to be true... No, even worse, as Howl has learned for himself... ]

Please take care, Liem. [ in more ways than one. ] Tell me we'll go out for a drink after this, hm?

[sterngaze]

That is my hope. A more organized defence will better-serve everyone, both today and in the long run.

[Though it might be difficult to recall the locations of the supplies in the heat of the assault, hopefully the communion map combined with the relatively identifiable nature of Achamoth's churches will enable the Kenoma's aions to get use out of them.]

But when we have time, I would gladly agree to an outing. Let's watch each other's backs when we can, yes?

[ He... seems fine, but Howl knows he did not get out of traitorous actions unscathed. The Regent always finds out, Howl tells himself, and they would never leave such treachery unaddressed. Justified as a punishment might be, Howl nevertheless finds himself worrying. It's just so easy for him to sympathize with those who've suffered punishment from overbearing overseers. ]

Yes, of course. It's a date, then. Remember, you mustn't leave me waiting for your Shard to regenerate.

[ and don't get captured or shattered, either. ]

[sterngaze]

Of course. That would be terribly rude of me.

[It is tragically not an exaggeration to say that a desire not to inconvenience others comprises a significant part of Liem's determination to stay all in one piece. He's doing great.]

I'll be holding you to that as well.

[No standing him up, Howl.]
