[pleroma] backdated to night before the raid

[ he's never used his shard to try and communicate with so many people at once before, and he's not particularly excited about attempting it; still, he was a celebrity, once, so he's at least used to interacting with the public, which becomes obvious in his confident greeting. ]

... Hey.

[ okay, maybe not.

While he's calm enough, through communion, his vague dissatisfaction can easily be felt - especially by other Firebrands this month, who likely find the simmering frustration he's feeling familiar. Of course, his stems partially from the fact that he's unable to help with this upcoming raid, specifically. He doesn't feel a need to announce that he's not coming - anyone to whom it would actually matter would already be aware. Even so, it colors his words just slightly. ]


If you're going to Achamoth, do me a favor. I've heard they've got better technology over there than we do here - electricity or magic, maybe both. It doesn't really matter. If you see a chair over there that looks like it'll haul me around faster than this rickety piece of junk, and you can grab it without getting yourself killed, I'll pay you for it when you get back. I've got some jools - I've been saving 'em. And, uh...

[ this part, he's a little more hesitant about; he pauses, his frustration becoming a little more watery. ]

... I ain't seen Yuuta around for a few days and I can't get him on his Shard. So keep an eye out for him while you're over there, too. They might have taken him. He sure was causing them trouble in Godsblood, so it makes sense they'd want him out of the picture, you know.

[ a beat. ]

That's all. Don't try being a hero over there. You'll screw the rest of us over if you get caught.

I suppose it's easier to worry about others than myself.

[ Mostly because he's a little terrified for himself.

Maybe a lot terrified. ]


I'm no stranger to battle, but marching into the heart of Achamoth– I just want to make sure everyone is taken care of in case I don't come back soon, you know?

I don’t think so either, but I would feel bad if none of my chores get done. That’s extra work on everyone else’s shoulders...so I’ll try my best to make it back in one piece.

[ His appendix may or may not be making it back with him though. ]

And I can do pyromancy outside of wielding my spear. It’s mostly to create shields and shoot fire, so maybe I’m not that badly off from everyone else.

I just thought it’d be great to train to use other weapons, especially long range ones. There might come a point where I’ll need to fight at a distance, and it’ll come in handy.

[ He just wants to be at least one step ahead instead of seventeen steps behind... like he currently feels. ]

Not really. I can’t shoot it...I guess sometimes it plumes out, but it’s for a short while.

[ Shooting fireballs would be too convenient, but that’s not quite his territory. ]

Plus, we could find ourselves without power again. Before I attuned with our sect in Godsblood, I couldn’t access my vision, so all I had was rocks to fend myself with.

[ Thankfully, he didn’t have to defend himself from much at that point. ]

It’s better to be prepared for the worst at this point rather than wait for it to actually happen. Not to make things extra bleak. We probably have enough to worry about.

[ Like the whole raid and all... ]

It's hard not to, but I'll do my best to stay focused. I still want you to make use of my fish and lizard meat stores in Greentruth if I don't make it back.

Take care, Johnny!

[ He'll probably stock it up with some extra things before he leaves anyway just for everyone's benefit. ]
