EVENT PLOTTING: THE EMPTY THRONE PT 2
The Empty Throne Pt 2
By the end of the seventh day, more and more of those that have resisted the Kenoma's pull will be awakening to the power of the Pleroma, expelling what remains of the ritual's poison. Though they are still being held within the cavern, any lost powers will begin to return... which means that conflict against the ones imprisoning them is inevitable. Xishen, the orchestrator of the ritual, has not made any orders and the Hylician soldiers are increasingly agitated and unsure of what to expect. Are those that remain free of the Kenoma's influence meant to be executed? Imprisoned more securely? Freed?
Unknown to the rest of the Regent's assembly, a short while before this impasse, Xishen bestowed the secret of teleportation to Father Abel Nightroad, suggesting to him that he could use it to escape and bring the other survivors with him. Though her motives for doing so are yet unknown, Abel and any other Pleroma attuned he explains this process to will be able to use the teleportation spell as explained on the powers page to escape the cavern. Two to three casters will be enough to plausibly bring all of the newly christened Pleroma with them; the trouble is that the ritual takes up to a half hour to cast, and once they begin, it will become apparent to their captors what's happening.
Once the teleportation ritual is discovered, Xishen will order the Kenoma inductees to put a stop to it, though she does not step up to fight herself. From there, the Pleroma will have to hold off the Kenoma for 20-30 minutes while the ritual completes, the exact speed depending on how many people are dedicated to casting. Player versus player conflict can occur during this time, and mod-rolled RNG outcomes to individual match ups will be available if they are desired.
Of course, the Kenoma have had time to recover and the Pleroma have not. As if to compensate for this disadvantage, the hope granted by this change of escape will awaken a surge of power in the Pleroma. Similar to how the Kenoma felt upon accepting it, Pleroma will receive a boost in endurance, strength, and magical capabilities during this time, though the effect will gradually fade afterwards.
When the ritual ends it is expected that the Pleroma will be able to escape, whether it's on their feet or by having their battered body hauled into the ritual area by a comrade. All characters who participated in The Empty Throne will be awarded 1 Reward Token which can be used to purchase new abilities and regains.

❖ INCLUDED EVENT PROMPTS
◆ PVP COMBAT: Those Kenoma that are willing to listen to Xishen's orders will have the opportunity to clash against the Pleroma as they try to escape. Fights and mod-rolled RNG results can be requested here. Kenoma are not required to fight but those that do will receive a boosted positive reputation among the Regent's forces.
◆ REGAINED POWERS: All characters who have attuned will have their canon powers returned with the nerfs indicated on their applications. This include all Kenoma and all Pleroma. Pleroma characters will be receiving a hope-based power boost during the escape. For those with the Normie Discount, your Reward Token can be spent immediately and any new powers can manifest during the fight if that's something you'd like to play out.
◆ TELEPORTATION RITUAL: At least 2-3 Pleroma characters will be needed to cast the ritual, but the more there are the faster it will go. Past magical experience is not required for this plot role, though it may help make it more intuitive ICly.
◆ AFTERMATH LOCATIONS: Both sects will have a unique 'aftermath' location to thread in taking place after the escape has happened. This will cover the immediate aftermath of the event. Further locations and travel opportunities will be posted on April 2nd.
◆ ATTUNEMENT TRACKER: As of this event post, most sect attunements should be locked in! Please go update your Attunement Tracker with your character's current sect status.

SECT: Kenoma
NATURE OF CONFLICT: basically, if you're a pleroma looking for a win (and maybe an emotionally fraught battle with a side of betrayal), you can hit her up ✌😔 Misa is small and not very good at fighting, so she will take the more manipulative route:
🍎 she will go as far as pretend like she's going to change sides to stab you in the back (literally) at an inopportune moment
🍎 or it may be something as innocuous as hashtag ✨WASTING YOUR TIME✨ by slowing you down. clinging to you like a koala? a possibility. pretending like she's gonna run away with you, but walking ridiculously slow and/or pretending to have a terrible injury? she is not above it.
🍎 she will also try last ditch attempts to convince pleromas to come to the dark side, if that's more your cuppa. she feels very passionate about reforming the world and will plead her case with grand emotions!
as far as the results, she will give up very quickly if injured seriously as she is a normie, so she will most likely lose all conflicts. i'm 100% down for her to get her ass whooped for being fake though so feel free to come at her with everything!
she'll probably(?) need some post fight healing, and will be a huge big baby even over the smallest cut, so there's that too. let her annoy your battle worn healers/charas who have dealt with much much worse 🙏🥺

And I think what you've got up should work perfectly!

Would you have any interest in Matt vs Misa? He definitely believes in remaking the universe, but he's gonna try helping Pleromas escape because he doesn't want to force Kenoma on them.
He's very easy to trick, however, so if Misa wanted to subdue him (literal backstab?) she could definitely fool him long enough to do that.
For a more combative route, I have some potential options spitballed in my own comment, but the short version is tripping, trapping, and trying to steal her weapons ... but that's only if he actually catches onto her.
no subject
she wouldn't do anything lethal, but i think the "trick him long enough to subdue him with a light stabbing" would be good! i'm down either way if he wants to catch on to what she's planning, or if you'd like her to succeed in her plan. just lemme know which route you'd prefer! and once we get everything settled i can throw up a starter for us? c:

on my way to hit it up!

He can also interfere if it's convenient and not a hindrance to any pvp encounters she has.
no subject
as of rn i think she will probably scrape by without getting in any serious pvps, but this is good to know regardless, because she will 100% call for his help if she ever has serious problems down the road once she sees how strong he is 😔
no subject
yes hi please ignore the fact that your healer may have been among the ones who bled the most on the cave floor, Ciel would take her seriously though! either for girl times on the boat or post PvP care, would you have any preference potentially? I'd happily do either/both o7
