EVENT #6: By Heaven or Hell

By Heaven or Hell
THE STORY SO FAR...
During the month of Innoseri, the Pleroma and Kenoma were mobilized to the city of Venera to investigate a mysterious affliction of the residents. They were succumbing to a strange apathy that slowly disconnected them from the reality, to the point that many would lose interest in even necessary activities to live. They ran the risk of starving, dying of dehydration, or simply wandering into danger with no sense of preservation.

By entering the city, both sects were exposed to the effects of the illness, which turned out even worse for Aions. In a twist of fate, it was during that time that the Pleroma Aion Estinien met his end at the hands of the Kenoma Aion Makoto, shattering his Innocence-petrified body. It was this act of profane violence that summoned the god-like creature that has caused the illness, sending a great metaphysical scream echoing across the city, demanding to know what had been done to it's child.

The winged being now colloquially known as the Innocence Entity manifested for the first time, in the form of a great cloud of wings floating above the city. It turned it's attentions to the gathered Aions, striking down any that challenged it, enraged by the acts of violence committed in the city it had hopes to envelope in a haze of endless peace. Abel, a Pleroma who had come to Estinien's defense, realized that the entity seemed be acting to protect Estinien, who it considered its ward after he succumbed to the illness its power invoked. Abel beseeched his allies to stay their hand and begged the Innocence leave him and the city be.

The Innocence Entity was reluctant, arguing that life without its 'blessing' would be filled with suffering and strife. Abel, Himeka, Ryunosuke, and Alphinaud, the four Pleroma present at the time, insisted to it that life was worth living despite that pain that came along with it, and promised they could care for Estinien in its stead. Accepting their vow, the entity bound them all to a contract that would be broken if they failed to shield him from suffering. It left Venera and the illness faded.

Last month, the Kenoma were deployed to Venera and to Godsblood with the intent of culling dissenters and citizens who showed disloyalty to the empire. During this conflict, the capture of Ryunosuke and Thoma drew Estinien into a battle against several Kenoma. Outnumbered and disadvantaged, the pain and panic Estinien experienced summoned the Innocence Entity once more. It possessed Estinien's body, using its power to dispense of the Kenoma challenging him, all while lashing against the Pleroma it saw as having broken their vows. This divine punishment fell upon Abel and Himeka as they were facing off against Ciel and Emet-Selch in Godsblood. Taking advantage of their suddenly prone enemies, the two Kenoma delivered them to the Regent.

The Kenoma had long-since hoped to capture Estinien, to use his connection to the entity as a weapon against it, but now the perfect bait had fallen into their hands. As the Pleroma rally to save their captured comrades, the Kenoma prepare to turn circumstances to their advantage, and to perhaps eliminate the Innocence Entity's threat once and for all...

❖ INCLUDED EVENT PROMPTS
β—† BURNED AT THE STAKE: In an effort to force the Pleroma's hand, the Regent will be scheduling the public burning of Abel and Himeka in Achamoth. After the failed public execution in Godsblood, why not try again! This will be set up to occur in a public square near the Citadel. The Pleroma will be in a race against time to save them before both their bodies and their shards are destroyed.

β—† INNOCENCE ON FIRE: As the Pleroma enter the city, the Innocence Entity, previously disinterested in fighting on behalf of Aions it considers oath breakers, will seemingly have a change of heart. It will offer its power to Estinien who will, in turn, temporarily ascend to boss monster level during this siege, wielding both the power of the Innocent and the Firebrand. This will be run as an official boss encounter in collaboration with Estinien's player, the mechanics of which will be explained along with the post. In addition, the radiance of the Innocence Entity will rob most Achamoth NPCs of their will to fight, leading to a conflict largely between Aions. Those of the Innocent Legacy will receive strange communion from the entity itself, which they can respond to as they will.

β—† FIREBRANDS RISING: As if summoned by the Pleroma's rebellious actions against the Regent's empire, Pleroma Firebrands participating in the raid will be blessed with additional power that will amplify along with the strength of their defiant conviction. This power can be extended, to a lesser to degree, by those fighting alongside them that are inspired by their example. In opposition, the Firebrands of the Kenoma will hold a natural resistance to the Innocent's assaults, and will find themselves with the ability to 'inspire' limited amounts of NPCs into defying the power robbing them of their will. In general, all Firebrands will feel supernaturally uninhibited by all that would hold them back from achieving their desires, whether those bonds be emotional or physical.


MOD NOTE: All characters who go participate in the event log will be awarded 1 Token, so please make sure to mark that on your AC. You will not receive the token if you don't claim it. For new players, they will be permitted to spend this token for use during the event, though this will only be relevant for those with the Normie Discount.

We would also like to be clear and say that the outcome of this event has been predetermined by the players most closely involved (Himeka and Abel will escape, Estinien will be captured) but everyone else's fates will be up in the air. The event itself will go up and take place on August 17th.

whew okay! let's gooo

general info
πŸ–€ as mentioned on the shittalking post, she has a petrification ability linked to her sight - and her sight is 3x better than a normal human's, so she can see from a quite the range.

πŸ–€ she'll be stealthing around in different buildings and will try to hide and use her power for as long as she possibly can

πŸ–€ additionally, she will openly offer her support to other kenomas, and will accompany them into battle if asked

looking for
πŸ–€ kenoma who'd like her help in battle! her petrification is explained more in depth here. she might be helpful for any attempted captures, or things like that. she can also provide shoe-in healing for allies by petrifying them to stop blood flow, though this works best on wounds directly in the limbs

πŸ–€ pleroma to run away from/get caught in her petrification! since she'll be moving around a lot, i imagine she could be seen by a number of people, and if caught, she will favor escaping rather than outright fighting, as she wants to keep herself safe until the Burnening. in these kinds of pvps, she'll focus on stopping the movement of her opponents (going for the legs/wings/things like that).

πŸ–€ my only hard line is that she can't be dissipated in that kind of encounter, as due to prior planning she needs to be Alive in order to put down bearserker amos, but other than that i'm fine with discussing injury and consequences. she can get what is coming to her, i approve it

πŸ–€ if she does end up in over her head/captured due to the above, a kenomie to bail her out...... if the chips fall that way, waves hand

πŸ–€ and this is a very Personal want, but... i Just gave misa a chaotically destructive dark magic, and currently she has very little control over it, very baby snake doesn't know how to control its venom vibes. i was kinda hoping if she gets into a physical confrontation, she might cause some severe physical damage to someone by touching them, as described here. basically, it's like being touched with an Evil Hot Iron. so if u want a big ol jagged wound from her evil magic i'm open to her doing this mostly by accident... for injury flavor

PLEASE JAMS I NEED TO RUN INTO MISA AGAIN

i think dokja would opt for talking first, pvp if absolutely necessary since..... this is misa..... and despite the pleroma being like hey she is DANGEROUS, he'll be like How Bad Could It Possibly Be

but i'd be so okay with any petrification and if need be/it gets to that point i can pull someone in to help him while she gets away!!

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-13 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
YUUL... REACHES FOR YOU AND DOKJA!!!

i'm crying they can definitely talk for a bit, maybe if dokja approached her somewhere where she couldn't easily get away (room with only one door, an alleyway, a roof... idk something like that), she'd probably be amenable to talk for a bit/stall for time while she brainstormed how to escape, before just making a run for it..... dying at dokja being like 'how bad can she be' meanwhile misa is like 'i hope this guy doesn't rip my arm off???' since she saw what happened to gen

but i'd be very down for things to turn towards pvp/petrification at the end of their interaction if u wanna...!! she would really only go for his legs to keep him from chasing after her, if that would be ok with u, and ofc i am open to her getting hurt in the process of her escape πŸ‘€

WHY IS MISA ON A ROOF??

but yeah some place where he can corner her would be great..... honestly it doesn't even have to end in a pvp I DON'T KNOW I GO WHERE THE WIND TAKES ME i just want to play with you and misa

and for dokja to cement his "i don't like her" feelings

"cement his 'i don't like her' feelings" honestly he's valid

BUT OKAY SOUNDS GOOD!! i'm not tling this event so i can set up a closed starter for us maybe?? of her being somewhere... catchable.... so they can have a lovely, not at all bad chat and we can both fly by the seat of our pants from there!! unless you are tling in which case i can go there and/or wildcard you 😈

i want them to meet up somehow and talk so i can Suffer
lifespanned: (pic#15725200)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-13 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
closes my eyes i'm going to suffer as well.....

she'll be hopping around the city so they can definitely run into one another at some point amidst the chaos... maybe post the burnening but before the boss battle???

also i'm sorry i'm sure u have gotten a lot of qs like this but what is the level of awareness of his defection that she would theoretically have at this point, would she still reasonably be able to believe they were on the same side or has he already Actually jumped ship by leaving the city prior/changing attunement by this point πŸ₯Ί i'm good with either way but want to make sure i am following ur timeline!!

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-08-14 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
post-burnening but pre-boss battle works for me.....


also it's really up to you and what you think would be more fun for you/misa! timeline-wise he is still officially kenoma when he goes back to achamoth (he was t1 kenoma when he left) and then he's unattuning for like an hour to untouched and then attuning to pleroma after that, so theoretically you could have misa bump into him at any point. as far as IC knowledge, so far the only one he's admitted to for sure that he left is ciel (though i'm sure other people have Assumed that he left) so really however you wanna swing it is fine by me, if you wanna have misa be delusional and just pretend he's off on Business(TM) and super busy or that she actually knows For Sure

i realize that's not super helpful, i just like giving people options
lifespanned: (pic#11709527)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-15 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
HMM... OKAY!!

i have thought about this and i think she would probably gaslight herself into thinking he was away on business for the period that he was gone from achamoth, so she would likely think everything's fine by the time of the raid.... i'm going to say her seeing him unattuned is best for the dramatic pain route, because she will still be able to delude herself into thinking he can come back from it and it will hurt me, personally

if that sounds good to you, are you doing closed starters or something for this event... i am happy to write a closed starter or wildcard you as well!! 😈

[personal profile] lockedon 2022-08-15 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
coughs blood, i'm ready to Suffer.......

i honestly have no idea if i'm doing closed starters or not, i will check in with the people i have plans with and see what they are doing and report back to you!!! also one q: since i need him alive so he can die later, would misa disengage by herself at some point....i'm just not sure if they're both leaving with her still deluding herself that he'll come back or if she'll be hurt enough that she'll just leave him to die there bc he's unattuned and largely useless
lifespanned: (pic#11743290)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-15 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
she can deffo get pissed enough to disengage or be forced to leave by exterior forces so long as she actually finds out/puts the pieces together about his defection πŸ€” idt she would disengage if she still had her delusions bc she'd wanna stay and protect him bc hes unattuned.... πŸ˜”πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ

so i'll come up with some way for her to leave him there post finding out if that works?? πŸ€”πŸ€”

I ended up with Thoma staying in Venera last event so didn't get a chance to get stoned by Misa. I am here to rectify this great injustice. Please stone him good.
lifespanned: (pic#15666249)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-13 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
omg yes lets do it πŸ‘€ i can have misa try to stone him to interrupt whatever efforts he's doing in the city, if that works!! and if you really want him to get Got, the pleroma don't yet know that she can go farther than half the body (she just has to like. make eye contact with the person while close πŸ˜”), so he can be the first one to receive this kind treatment... it can be dispelled through time being passed without her being there Or slowly by healing magic, so he wouldn't be stuck there forever dw HAHA

but if not she can just get him a considerable amount and we can go from there!! would thoma fight back at all or would he try to diffuse the situation instead πŸ‘€
emblazer: (015.)

[personal profile] emblazer 2022-08-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, please use her upgraded abilities on him. Maybe while he's escaping, she can cut him off. He'll probably try reasoning with her first and fighting only defensively, but he'll still be trying to get past her. So maybe when chatting fails, she can demonstrate her new upgrade.
lifespanned: (pic#15666278)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-15 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
ok great!! i'll have her try to catch him while he's escaping then πŸ€” if you'd like, you can arrange for a pleroma to drive her off before she fully petrifies him into a Full Statue, or i can make up some reason for her to be drawn away and to leave him there! just lmk which you would prefer or if there's an upper limit on the amount of stoning you want to happen to him πŸ‘

also, will you be top-leveling this event? i won't be, so i can either come to your tl, or we can do a closed starter situation!!
emblazer: (112.)

[personal profile] emblazer 2022-08-20 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Belated, but maybe she can stone him up to his neck and leave, possibly due to Innocent!Estinien finally being captured and the Regent getting what they want. I'll see if anyone on the Pleroma side wants to free him from the stone. And I'm not top-leveling this time around, so I can toss her a closed starter to take place post-pyre rescue, if you'd like?
lifespanned: (pic#11743288)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-21 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
that sounds like a good plan to me! and a closed starter would be awesome if you don't mind πŸ₯ΊπŸ™

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-14 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Me realizing that that Havoc is alsooooo gonna be sniping with eye powers from a distance......... If Misa would like a rooftop buddy to girlboss attack people with??? Alternatively, if she needs a Kenoma on another rooftop who can spot her in trouble and do a lil' rescue?
lifespanned: (pic#15666255)

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-15 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
omg i didn't know havoc's powers were long ranged too!! πŸ‘€ right now i don't have anyone lined up that they could both co-girlboss attack on (tho that sounds amazing and we should definitely do it in the future), but i do have one instance where misa might need havoc's help!! basically at some point during the raid she's gonna get lowkey mind controlled into walking back to the citadel, so maybe havoc could see her walking away/heading towards danger in a daze and snap her out of it??

alternatively, we could also do something pre-raid with looking for good places to do long range attacks from/places to hide out plus learning a bit about each other's powers, if that might be a better place for them to start off cr... i am open to either or any other suggestions you may have!!
regressor: (WAR [β˜„])

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-15 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yesssss, it could be very long-range girl bossing eye power o'clock if they teamed up! Maybe next time for that!

HMMMM... Either of those options could jump start us pretty well, I think? Havoc is super down with the idea of getting people endeared to her through debt or favors so she would stop her attacking to go help if it seemed like Misa was about to get into danger on her hypnowalk, but she also would not mind getting some pointers about long-range sniper spots from someone who has been in Achamoth longer!

So I guess it just boils down to whether you're interested in a more high-strung, potentially shorter thread that would probably end ig with them both getting back to work orrrrr a potentially longer one with more set-up and talking?

I'm game for either!

[personal profile] lifespanned 2022-08-17 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
HMM.... honestly now that you said that, i think it might be super interesting to go with the first route with misa indebted to havoc!! because she'll definitely want to make this up at a later time, plus it would bring up her trust in havoc a lot too since she went out of her way to help her πŸ₯Ί

if that sounds okay to you, i can probably write up a starter for this, since misa will be the one hypnowalking HAHA just let me know if that sounds solid!!
regressor: (UNBRIDLED)

[personal profile] regressor 2022-08-17 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Let's go with that, then- ! EXCITING! :D And once there's some trust, fufu maybe another time they can long-range eye power girl boss some stuff.

I would love a starter, thank you!
