regression | KENOS ✦ COMMUNION

Stop.

[another, nicer person would have said "stop thinking depressing thoughts, yjh", but sooyoung's reply comes out all stilted instead. (damb imagine we had yoo sangah instead) it's just pure anger and desperation and the frantic realization that despite all their efforts, despite going through all of those damned scenarios all over again -- the idea of kim dokja having a different idea in his head, a solution all to himself that he'd never told anyone...

well, that's just like old times, isn't it?]

It's because he's a moron!! And because of this shitty universe!! He thought he needed to save us or whatever and decided to fucking die again!!

[he didn't die -- WELL HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE!!! her emotions are ON BLAST, and she's aware of it too -- that if she can feel Yoo Joonghyuk's shock, then he could probably feel her panic wheel of distress]

I hate this stupid telepathy thing! Why are you in Achamoth?!

[WHY IS SHE LASHING OUT AT YJH NOW]

[ She can keep yelling at him... He knows she gets like this when she feels cornered—they've been fighting alongside each other for almost eight years now. His response to it is silence, ruminating on her words. ]

He's a moron.

[ More thoughts agreeing than him saying it aloud. ]

What does Pleroma offer?

[ HE ALREADY EXPLAINED WHY HE'S IN ACHAMOTH HE CAN'T JUST CHANGE THAT ]

[WHY CAN'T HE CHANGE IT AHHHHH]

Nothing!

[PANT PANT HSY ANGRY.... she takes several deep breaths while in the jungle, then]

They're against the Kenoma because they don't want to see worlds destroyed in the first place. Also, the Regent sucks, and it sounds like a lot of Kenoma do too? I don't know.

[there's an underline of 'and i don't care' but that's just a tantrum vibe]

There's no one leader in charge of the Pleroma. Or if there is, then they didn't show up during planning. The only real authority is 'seniority', new Aions listening to the ones who came before, and they sure as hell haven't offered anything like remaking the world. They probably don't believe in the Regent's offer.

So you're telling me they are useless.

[ This is the important part. ]

...Yeah.

[she hates that he isn't wrong, why is she HERE! WHY DOES HER FACTION HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!!! she fought so hard to get a cool sponsor, to become a cool constellation... and now this....]

It's like -- you know, the oppressed vs the oppressor. Kaizenix or whatever. The oppressed have jack shit.

[though in kaizenix, the rebels had yjh? and the tyrant had hsy? how the turn tables]

[ damn they are nothing, but at least they have their powers? to some capacity. ]

Are you all at least properly funded?

[ DO YOU GUYS... AT LEAST HAVE MONEY ]

We're living off the land.

[IN OTHER WORDS.... NO]

[ lmao ]

We receive an allowance. It's generous.

[GRITS HER TEETH]

What about the food? I bet it's gross.

[so is pleroma]

The meals are round-the-clock and look acceptable.

[ He says "look." He doesn't eat it... And sneaks to kitchens to make his own food. ]

I bet they can't season for shit.

[she can say this bc she knows yjh wouldn't know since he COOKS HIS OWN FOOD ALLT HE TIME]

Where do they keep their valuables. Is it next to the dungeons?

[ This is expected, but: ]

In the pockets of the wealthy here. When you come for the raid, see if you can rob some. They're not hard to spot.

How are the Pleroma's forces? Strong?

They're gonna see us coming... But I guess they wouldn't expect me to just steal and run away.

[apparently they just think she'll KILL them, rude]

Hey, wouldn't you know better than me? Aren't you guys talking about us?

[because the pleroma are also talking about them]

I do not know how much focus the citizens will receive from the military. An opportunity to steal is still opportunity.

You guys are talking about us, too.

[ why are they both so smelly. ]

[they really are

also the idea of hsy just ditching to steal from npcs in the middle of a dramatic rescue is destroying me]

Of course. You're really surrounded by weirdos, you know? Like that wizard Howl guy who can turn into a bird monster? Or the Misa girl who can petrify people with her eyes? Or that Silky [SILCO?] ajusshi who makes weird drugs?

I could have said you were just as weird as them, but I didn't. You should thank me.

[This is probably the first time Sooyoung has exhibited a Positive Emotion, and it's just trolling adjacent]

[ it's going to happen because joonghyuk would probably do the same thing except maybe they would have given it to him cause he's a Kenoma Aion. ]

The trade is that I didn't mention you, either.

[they just give it to him because he's a kenoma aion and he has sexy eyebrows]

Yo should! You should totally lie. Tell them my name's Matilda and that I can't do shit.

[CACKLING -- wait,]

Wait, don't. They'll get pissy when they find out you lied.

[ you wrote these eyebrows into existence ]

I wouldn't make it so obvious that I lied. Withholding information is just as effective, anyway.

Matila is also a horrible cover-up name.

[THEY WERE ALREADY THERE]

It's inspired? Apparently that Kaeya guy introduced himself as Sebastian. That's a way worse name!

Who is "Kaeya."

[ THE KENOMA DIDN'T REALLY INTRODUCE THEMSELVES EXCEPT FOR NEWBIES AND CIEL-EMET. ]

[this is killing me it's the same for pleroma]

Um. He's got an eyepatch. He's a knight and has ice powers?

[she tries to communion an image, but she saw ryu's for like .5 seconds and the result is this]

I haven't seen him yet.

[ THIS NETWORK BULLSHIT SUCKS ]

Edited (oops) 2022-08-11 23:20 (UTC)

Are you all just talking in your minds...

[the pleroma are doing that too]

Is it too much of a hassle to meet in person or something?

[the orvs are doing it too]

I am unsure what is the process is here, but it is only through this communication channel for now.

Plans and assignments will come later as well.

Must be nice to have plans.

[damb, what's that like. there's another surge of irritation, she's tired and she doesn't know what she's gonna do besides go to achamoth and pick up yjh somehow (heh)]

Tell me if they involve blowing up the city or something. That way I can leave before then.
