EVENT #5: SOVEREIGN CITIZENS

Sovereign Citizens
All across Horos, even in lands that have long since forsaken the Legacies, Soviseri is a month of political action. Most years, this simply means annual elections; for the faithful, organizations and governments big and small take this opportunity to bask in the wisdom of the Sovereign while reassessing their leadership and strategies, while the more secular simply see it as a convenient waymark on the yearly calendar. Soviseri allows them to face the remainder of the cycle with fresh eyes.

Most years, these customs will pass uneventfully, barring the moderate confusion that can result when too many leaderships change at once. This year, however, is not like others: for the one that considers themself the most sovereign of sovereigns has witnessed the seeds of revolt take root in the most fertile soil. Though they have not yet begun to sprout, let alone flourish, the Regent knows full well where such small things can lead. It's because of this that they intend to salt the earth and remind the cities of Horos the value of the 'peace' they've experienced while allowing them their reign.

This event will last from the 13th to the 25th of Soviseri.

INCLUDED EVENT PROMPTS
◆ THE REGENT'S ADDRESS: On the eve of the 13th, near the height of the Sovereign's Moon, all Aions will have their spirits summoned into a metaphysical court of the Regent's making. They'll only have enough time to seat themselves somewhere before the vision overtakes them, bringing them into the Regent's presence for what will be the first time for many. It is in this meeting of souls that the Regent will express their intent to punish the Pleroma's supporters in Godsblood and Venera, and to declare that it will be at the hands of their Kenoma followers. The Pleroma will be able to leave the communion unharmed, but the message is clear: without intervention, Godsblood and Venera will suffer.

◆ AN EXECUTION (GODSBLOOD): The 15th would normally be a day of public debates and speeches, a time for those in power to prove their worth in full sight of the Sovereign, but all of that will be thrown into discord at the public announcement that Vaeka Lovenskol is to face public execution for her crimes against the Regent. What crimes? Well, apparently she has been working as part of a resistant unit intent on aiding the Pleroma menace... a fact that any Pleroma in Greentruth will know to be true. Vaeka has been one of the brave souls working to keep the entry to Greentruth concealed, guiding what new Pleroma they become aware of to its gates.

How she was exposed is not exactly clear, but she is scheduled for a public execution in Godsblood's main square on the 20th. That means there are five days to snatch her from the Kenoma sent to guard her, lest she be made an example to her people.

◆ TRIMMING THE VINE (VENERA): While the execution in Godsblood is a public affair, what happens Venera is far more insidious. Despite the meek and escapist nature of its citizens, a spark has been lit beneath the surface, spurred by the Aion's actions within the city during the Innocence's contagion, as well as the Achamite's and Hylician's inaction. Some Venerans that were either spotted supporting the Pleroma or that seek to resist the Regent's will have been rooted out, and will be made to pay for their transgressions by the Kenoma first and foremost.

From the 15th to the 25th, the Kenoma will be ordered to work their way through a hit list of sorts, finding and imprisoning Veneran troublemakers, with the intent of essentially 'disappearing' them. Prisoners will be held for a day or so after capture for a meaningless trial by the Achamites present, and then be executed.

◆ MARCHING ORDERS (KENOMA): As the Regent has observed there is a finite limit to what the Kenoma will do without orders, they are now being explicit; all Kenoma are required to participate in the subjugation of either Godsblood or Venera during these activities. Whether or not Kenoma players are available to play out things on an OOC level, all must be at least handwaved to ICly participate in this mission by signing up for duty in either Venera or Godsblood down below. Failure to perform IC will be met with IC punishment.

In addition to their mission duties, the Regent is also ordering all their Kenoma to attempt to lure out and capture as many Pleroma as possible. How they go about this is up to each individual, but the Regent expects that most Pleroma will not be able to resist making an appearance at either location.

toge inumaki | pleroma | innocent

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-10 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
hello! for this event, toge will be found in venera. he's personally attached to this place, especially as an innocent, and will be doing his best to keep the kenoma from being successful in their hit list endeavors. which means, while he may be focused on defending them, he will certainly be on the offensive when it comes to protecting any potential targets!

toge will purposefully put himself out in the open. he'll hope that his presence will make him a more tempting target, baiting out any potential kenoma, and using his cursed speech to pacify them. he doesn't WANT to hurt anyone, which his voice will allow him to do, but just know that he can certainly cause any listener to be impacted. so yes, i am down for some pvp and failed kidnapping shenanigans.

(as an aside: it's up to player discretion how affected they wish their character to be when it comes to the cursed speech! )

obviously he's going to try to work with anyone who wants him, though it might be awkward speaking in onigiri ingredients while in the thick of things but. hey. that's the curse that comes with the blessing that is his curse i guess.

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-07-10 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
thank you, robin the benevolent overlord

they can do a lil pvp beforehand if you want, i'm not fussy, as long as there's a sit involved
snakeandfangs: (pic#15418459)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-10 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
there will certainly be a big sit...

he's going to be a little upset that he has to stop and/or fight eustace! but at least he's a pretty capable fighter so

i'm now trying to wrap my brain around how it would go
lockedon: (Default)

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-07-10 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm rooting for you, toge.....

as far as how things go, i'm definitely flexible! i don't think eustace would jump immediately to violence if toge stepped in while he was marching some rando down the street but he also wouldn't stop what he's doing. they can slowly transition into pvp from there or toge can just go directly to a sit.

he can knock eustace out for a little bit and let him rot on the street if he would be comfortable with letting him go eventually, or chuck him in some abandoned building somewhere, w/e.

but regardless, i am happy to do whatever, i will twist this man into a 🥨 for you, just say the word.

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-07-10 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
if your wish is to see your boy get a little bruised and bloodied then i would love to make that happen for you 🙏 we can definitely have a little scuffle before toge gets tired of this untrained dog and tells him to sit!! happy to play that by ear or if you have a certain image in mind, we can draft a loose outline and go from there.

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-11 02:08 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-07-11 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
in that case i would also like a lil bit of blood and bruising.... 🙏 as long as we keep it within the moderately injured limits (ideally no broken bones), i'm game for anything! so we can definitely yolo it for the most part

and thank you, my hero...........i will keep my eyes open

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-07-11 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
that would work if only he had an ass, and by extension, ass bones
snakeandfangs: (pic#15418450)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-11 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)

Would you like a potential team-up with Toge to protect some ...other innocents? Actual innocents, I suppose.
snakeandfangs: (pic#15435872)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-10 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] emblazer 2022-07-10 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
well he has no knowledge of pop culture but if it's about food and animals, he's your man at guessing things. well... maybe.
snakeandfangs: (pic#15418452)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-11 02:52 am (UTC)(link)

I don't suppose he needs a Pleroma(-y) person ignorant of his abilities to question what the heck he's doing just standing in the open for the targeting?

Hayame is really good at... making friends...
snakeandfangs: (pic#15418452)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
YES! please, he certainly does!! especially a cool jinba lady...

i hope she doesn't get too confused by how he talks. actually most people tend to be on first meeting SO. honestly, this will be fun and exciting
warmare: (気付く)

[personal profile] warmare 2022-07-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I am totally canonblind so we could be confused and/or surprised together!!!!

She cared .05% more about her fellows post Regent announcement so might as well share… her… particular brand of love…
snakeandfangs: (pic#15418452)

[personal profile] snakeandfangs 2022-07-11 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
