[It should come as no surprise that people come and go through the lodestone chamber. But that one of them stops immediately, a sharp gasp escaping her throat at the sight of him? Small and gentle hands help tug off the coat, if he will allow it. Meteion takes less care with the shirt--it's a loss anyway. Though it helps to clean up some of the blood.]

What happened to you? Tell me what to do, tell me how to help! [Best to begin with that. There is another, far larger presence with this small girl--from the way she addresses him, it's likely her retainer.]

Gurbahl! Go fetch me warm water and a clean cloth. And if you please, fetch some food? [She knew it was fairly important to eat for most folk, after all. He might not want it immediately, but it can only help. Even if that help comes later.]

When he gets back, we can help you to your quarters, but first things first. [Meteion was created as an exploration and discovery probe; noticing things is something she does easily.] You sewed yourself?

continued from here.

[ The platitudes Howl offered in response to Makoto's answer do not stand alone for long. Less than a minute later, he communes with the demon again, but this time the trail is silent and uncluttered, closed only to him. ]

That thing did something to you, didn't it?

[ A shot in the dark, but he doubts a creature capable of "smiting" its foes would have left M alone for what he did, and it's the only possible explanation for M's cryptic response. ]

[ As he suspected, then. But being right in this instance brings Howl no pleasure, only concern, and a distinct sense of dread that transfers along their connection. If what he'd briefly discussed with Binghe is true, this was no "creature" that has forced itself into M's Shard. And if it's still there — no. it had been fun. and yet, this dread. why?

Howl has half a mind to get up and seek M out in person, if only because the physical movement would help distract him from the conflicting emotions rising within his own Shard. But, no. He recognizes the defensiveness in the demon's answers to him. It's significant that M is telling him anything about it at all.

Who else knows about this?

that's fine!

[ If he hadn't been stripped of two of his senses in quick succession, he would have gone to find Makoto himself after the worst of the hubbub had died down. Even the loss of one would have been surmountable, a stumbling stone instead of a complete roadblock, but he'd only be a risk to both himself and the rest of his teammates if he tried to strike out on his own like this.

Still, it feels wrong not to check in with the other man somehow, after all they'd been through—and especially after all Makoto had been through. If he can't find the other man in person, then he'll have to settle for a communion message instead, even if the thought of invading someone else's mind still makes him feel uneasy.

At least Makoto can always rebuff his message if he's not feeling in the mood. ]


This is Eustace. [ Obviously. ] I saw what happened. How are you feeling?

[ There's a brief burst of surprise at the comment, a trickle of which makes it way through the communion channel. It's not that he sees Makoto as heartless but the Kenoma as a whole tend to be a mistrustful bunch, placing their own personal needs above those of others. Most people don't tend to ask after him.

But he answers quickly enough, tone still brisk. ]


I have a few injuries from previous altercations but nothing serious. [ ..... ] Though I still can't see.

[ No point in hiding it, when he'd reported as much to various others. Overall, his condition is less than stellar in many ways, but there's no time now to troubleshoot solutions to his (many) problems. Later, when they return to Achamoth.

Surprising that Makoto came out of all this largely unscathed though. ]

In Achamoth: A handwritten letter delivered to Makoto's door while he's self-isolating.

[personal profile] tohell 2022-06-02 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The mass Communion which all Kenoma were able to tune into had been very informative. If not for the looser lips of his kindred Aions, there's no guarantee Makoto would have disclosed much if anything to J pertaining to the events which transpired after they parted ways in Venera. He'd not given an account of the details revolving around the stretches of time they'd been apart in times past, whatever other shades of unsavory (besides Kieran) that he'd come across during his tour of Hell's slums and, assuredly, places beyond where his nose had picked up traces of J's scent. And things haven't changed enough since his arrival to suddenly make Makoto more forthcoming- not with J, in any case.

Contrary to his ward's beliefs, J is and has always been respectful of choices made of his ward's own volition, such as his six-month excursion into his past or even those long years under Datenshou's employ. Provided those decisions don't interfere with his own plans. For now, Makoto's choice to remain sparse while others congregate in the plague's aftermath, coming together more closely after their traumatic excursion, is apparent but left momentarily uninterrupted by his master. The only exception is a letter on artisan parchment, with flecks of tiny pressed flower petals in muted pastel pinks and purples and rippled edges left untrimmed, that designate it as something handmade. The envelope it's nested within is neatly sealed with red wax atop two tails of gold ribbon that dangle below; its texture soft to the touch. ]


Makoto-dono,

I hear congratulations are in order on account of your most recent achievement.
How does it feel to kill a man not by means of signed contracts and sated desires-

But with your own hand?

In lieu of immediately commemorating this event, allow me to send you a small token to make use of as you will.
Consider it a temporary proxy, until at which time you find yourself in a more celebratory mood.

Sincerely Yours,
J


[ Ever cautious when the situation calls for it, J doesn't draw attention to this exchange or risk its examination by permitting his retainer to submit the missive directly. Hypothetically speaking, if J were the Regent, he'd make sure those assigned to care for the Aions were actually spies planted to monitor their every move. Not unlike how Fjord and Datenshou quietly ferreted information to him about Makoto, making it as though J himself were there to keep an eye on his wellbeing and orchestrate whatever needed to be done to maintain it while he was out of his physical scope.

Assuming the worst, taking into account the ease at which history has shown letters can be opened, read, and re-sealed without raising suspicion, he personally delivers the item, leaving it in front of Makoto's door as he happens to stroll by.

Tucked within the envelope, causing its unusual weight, is a single ornate key set on a chain of the same metal; both solid gold and forged with impeccable workmanship. Curiously enough, the key itself is too small for normal locks. While the delicate chain, with links practically light and uncumbersome as a spiderweb's thread, is surprisingly durable. It appears to be both the chain of a necklace or worn at the wrist once the length is looped around and latched to itself. The reason behind such versatility is not yet apparent, when it's only half of the final product. ]

[personal profile] tohell 2022-06-08 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's no doubt in J's mind that even though his ward's more honest self at its most lethal has climbed the stage to finally debut, there surely exists a number among their ranks who yet remain loyally adhered to his orbit. Other Aions who have likely expressed condolences or reached out to ascertain Makoto's condition. Heartfelt efforts stemming from assumed connections; the saccharine-sweet illusion of camaraderie. All of these efforts are feasible purely by circumstances entirely unique to their collective placement here in this artificial, forced collective and not by means of the sincerest forms of choice. But what if it was any of them in the place of this month's victim of Makoto's inherent cruelty; by necessity or personal gain? How easily will those commiserating now hold true to their sense of brotherhood should the worst of a person end up aimed their way?

If Makoto's own wounded admission holds the weight J trusts it to, his ward has already sensed the tenuous and entirely conditional nature of his new companionships. The murder of an enemy in this war is all it takes for a potent deluge of criticism from his peers. It's the most effective litmus test for what awaits in the future when already those fragile binds have begun pulling apart at the seams. Nothing lasts.

Good, better that Makoto relearns this lesson soon as possible if his ridicule on Earth has been so quickly forgotten. If he's to survive the war just now rising across the horizon, he needs to be reminded, after too long in Hell, how wholly fickle the human heart is. Whereas demons are often much simpler in their goals of reveling in the immediacy of pleasure- not clutching pearls and their moralism that benefits whoever sits within the highest ivory tower.

The most familiar of all ties, J maintains the distance Makoto establishes. Lines are written in the sand which he doesn't trespass over. Neither by demanding entry across the threshold of Makoto's present haven or through a litany of coddling words that infantilize someone who had blazed his meteoric rise through Hell by means of the harshest of paths. Roads littered with a thousand souls, paved in their immortal corpses stacked and hidden away in storehouses, for insanity and extinguishment to claim them with time.

Make no mistake, there is ample advice nestled between the elegant sweeping loops of J's lavish cursive. Those words, however, don't root themselves in any belief that perceives his ward as deceptive first encounters or new impressions paint him to be: merely a teen of inhuman nature. Of course, he knows better than any when it was by his own hand that Makoto was shaped and forged into a weapon that craves to cut down its own maker.

J's wisdom offers itself up to someone reaching ever nearer to the status of an equal; if not within the food chain of Hell's now-debunked hierarchy, then here where he's already usurped J in kill counts and firsthand experience of Horos. ]


Mako,

The chatter will die with time, once concern inevitably shifts to greater matters.
This experience has taught us there are more forces at play than previously thought.
Those not so easily overcome compared to the flesh and blood of an opposing faction.

As for further altercations with the enemy-
Those you plan to go up against will not make the same errors either.
Their numbers will gather close; anticipating your next move against them.
The only way to defeat an enemy expecting your arrival is to do the unexpected.
Take them off guard, attack in a way in which they cannot possibly conceive of.

Most importantly, take what you've said and apply it to yourself:
The impermanence of death in this land, provided the endurance of a shard.
Above all else, Makoto. Protect yours.

P.S. Should the need arise, may this gift provide that means.

Yours,
J


[ As before, there's a second gift bequeathed on the same day he receives Makoto's correspondence. Wrapped in a nondescript brown paper intended to not draw the eye or present of much value to Aions freely gifted with gems and jewels, this small package is placed with the letter outside Makoto's room. Only upon unraveling the several-layer thick packaging does the real gift-wrapping show through. White like the feathers of his master, and faintly textured, there's a quality to the paper that suggests, like everything else he's presented, it was selected with no shortage of cost and careful deliberation.

Under the veil of ostentatious trappings is a trinket box; not composed of flimsy cardboard but pearl-white porcelain, garnished in gold filigree along the corners and in the center of every surface. One look and the style reeks of the same rococo style emanating from every corner or trapping within J's castle.

Not that any of this is of much importance. Once emptied of what rattles within, Makoto could throw the trinket box out his window without any real loss. It's the contents inside that matter. A non-descript leather-covered case is wrapped in a white satin handkerchief of a similiar design to the box it came in; all gold-licked and embrodiered with a swooping, curling "J" in one corner.

Plain as can be, the black leather case gives the impression of practicality and an ability to blend in as a non-descript item like a wallet or notebook. Appearing to be nothing of any particular value. But that's the intent. For when Makoto's paranoia surely goads him into dissecting this item, he'll find the leather cover can be unlatched and pulled away, to expose the harder case hidden within.

There, in forged steel set in a shade of darkest black, engraved with a flourished "M", strong as any of the city's best swords and set on a thick hinge none could easily break, is a case not quite thin enough for cigarettes but close. Clearly pocket-sized for portability, it opens to reveal an interior cushioned on both sides by a red-velvet material that's suade-soft and meant to prevent the jostling or damage to what could be placed within. While the cover's interior is flat, the other side sports a dip that can be felt. Whatever cushioning lies under the fabric, it's been shaped and trimmed to support the placement of an object almost in the precise diameters of the most valuable item in Makoto's possession: His shard.

When placed there, the shape of it carved by the powers here to resemble a vertical eye, it settles snug and immobile. If closed, the case automatically locks, airtight and secure. Unlocking it ought to pose little trouble when it's clear there's a lock built into the case, identical in size to the key Makoto had been given earlier. ]

communion; an early june evening;

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-06-06 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sometime after dusk has settled but before one might consider retiring for the night, Makoto might be gifted with the familiar itch at the fringes of his mind that indicates someone is reaching out. someone not of his sect, not of his legacy - a certain silver-haired Pleroma, and not the one he had left in a pile of ash and dust within Venera.

should he be kind enough to accept - maybe he'll feel, hear, the gentle wash of his "name" floating across the abyss of their link of Communion in a tentative greeting.

it feels... uneasy. ]


Mr. M...?
inutilis: (☼ quietly.)

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-06-06 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ one could hardly blame him if the priest had thought he'd been rejected.

Abel did not attribute the silence to any malice on M's part, even if it made the sinking pit fall all the further where it sits in his stomach, hard and uncomfortable like a rock. perhaps he had been deluding himself, wanting to believe a version of events that differed from Estinien's recollection. Makoto having a hand in that man's dissolution...

...all of this - all of it - carries a weight that goes far beyond any one of their lives. it's larger than Makoto, larger than Estinien - larger than Abel, and Himeka, and Eustace and Kaeya and--

the first blood has been spilled, the first life taken in this war none of them asked for. it's inevitable that tensions continue elevating from here, isn't it? inevitable that more will suffer, bleed, in the name of their 'causes' - even if Abel fervently believes none of this is right, deserved, at all. the Aions are victims of circumstance, and for all of them to have been embroiled in this...

...Makoto. what have you done...?

imagine his surprise, then, when someone reaches out across that wall in return. perhaps it takes the gnawing press of several hours, but Makoto stretches a proverbial hand outward against the odds, and Abel... Abel, of course: ]


--Mr. M?

[ oh, wonderful! wonderful. they know one another's names; what a glorious source of relief!!! ]

...It's been a while. Hasn't it?

[ there is no trickle of emotion through the communion, this time. Makoto has kept it spartan; minimalistic. barebones.

it's surely impressive, then, if Makoto might manage to feel some pulse of the priest's unwieldy ruefulness despite those best efforts. maybe a hint of it passes through. maybe; just maybe. ]

communion, the last day of the soviseri event

[personal profile] passio 2022-07-29 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ dextera doesn’t even wait for everything to come to an end. he can maintain his purification for a while, but he can’t do it while he sleeps and ice will melt in time.

once he’s back in godsblood, safe away from anyone who might have seen him in venera, he withdraws his shard.

the message he sends makoto is a bit unlike his usual—he’s still skittish, afraid of being caught. rather than words, dextera conveys a series of impressions and emotions. it’s all in images like a montage: the guard he chose, the murder itself. dextera’s heavy breaths and his own hands carefully extracting all he can find in tact. he particularly lingers on the heart, savoring the way it continues to beat for some moments longer than the person himself has lived. in dextera’s memory, shown to makoto through this, the color is a bright and unnatural red.

he’s careful about the way he sets it aside in his mind, and with all those thoughts given, dextera knows makoto will understand. ]

cw: fantasized decapitation, violence and blood

[personal profile] tohell 2022-08-01 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ On better days, running into Makoto's retainer makes for quite the amusing experience. J had caught onto the reasoning behind his choice upon their first encounter with the ease of looking through a pane of glass. No matter how others may perceive his protégé as some incomprehensible fiend that can never be puzzled out, comprised of opaque smoke and mirrors that reflect nothing but deception, the owner of this lair is practically transparent to him. Why wouldn't he be, when J was the one who had taken Makoto by the hand and led him every step of the way to becoming who he is today?

As J's entry is momentarily barred, it's not the first time he weighs the pros and cons of helping Vandy instantly shed some extra weight, by evicting his thick skull from its body. In a moment hedged by questions unanswered and contact severed days ago, the demon is hardly in a magnanimous enough mood to tolerate being restricted access to his own ward. An aggravation worsened by someone who cannot suffer speaking through more than a crack in the door. The fact Makoto is cognizant of the tension and calls off his guard dog possibly spares the interior a quick redecoration.

Crisis averted, J slips into the room without paying his fill-in much ado and instead zeros in on the one he'd been combing the streets of Venera for, to no avail. ]


There you are. [ His master affords Makoto a long leash, with the latter dictating the terms by which J can reach out. Whether it's done out of sportsmanship or for the sake of humoring a child's game, J has refrained from using Communion when it trespasses upon an intimate sense of self his ward balks at inviting him into. So, in playing along, he's been kept in the dark as to the lion's share of what happened to him since they parted ways.

There's no need to ask about Makoto's well-being when his ward's sedate and bandaged state, eerily too bedridden for his traditional greeting, tells J that it resides at the cross streets of wounded and mending. A victory in itself when the traitors and captives from this recent venture may not escape it quite so unscathed. And it's with that thought that an unrealized knot gradually comes loose in some distant corner of J's mind. His exasperated concern is swept under the rug, in favor of a more typical and breezy response. ]


I'd say you're a sight for sore eyes, but- [ With a sweep of his open hand to indicate the noticeable gloom they've been cast within, J points out why that's an ill-suited greeting. ] The whole Ominous Gothic Deathbed mood you've got going on here kind of spoils the chipper sentiment.

[ The benefit of J's extremities is that they don't disrupt whatever atmosphere of quiet respite Makoto has set up for himself. (His mouth, however...) There's no jarring scuff of shoes or heavy thud of boots that might stomp about if any with the Archduke's size were to traipse through the space. All that sounds is the shuffle of feathers. Their rustle announces him with a softer alert than footfalls when J is apt to prowl; weaving liquid-like through the darkness. ]

Yes, what is it? [ J purposefully slots himself in the space where outstretched hands reach for him. Slender fingertips brush by the fabric of his shirt but don't manage to successfully grasp what eludes them; so close yet still so far. With the right of his hands grasping the headboard, J uses it to loom over the bed Makoto's small frame barely fills. It's more than apparent what Makoto wants, but J's conditions for fulfilling his requests have rarely deviated from their original pattern. If Makoto desires something from J, he should know better than to utter anything vague or indirect. Or maybe he's simply being decisively petty in retaliation for the last few days, now that J believes his little troublemaker is safe. ]

MISSION FROM THE REGENT

[personal profile] aionpcs 2022-08-03 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Shortly after the events of the recent TDM, Makoto will be presented a long case made of dark, polish wood by their retainer. They will be told that it is from the Regent and that it is to be handled with the utmost discretion. Within the box is a void-black crystal spear that is about three feet in length.

Along with that is a note, dictated from the Regent themself. It will warn them against touching the crystal with bare skin, first and foremost, and then go on to make a peculiar request: they are to stake it into the earth at a particular coordinate in Achamoth, with its point angled towards the center of the city. This coordinate will be marked on a map that is included with the letter, and is in the southern-most sector of the city.

They are not to speak of this to their fellow Kenoma. The stake must be planted at the very start of the 5th of Firaseri. If your character would do anything other than plant the spear as asked and keep quiet about it, please let us know!

Communion - Post 6th of Firaseri

[personal profile] tohell 2022-08-10 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
( ooc: Continued from here. )

[ It comes on so subtly, emotions filtering in through his shard like a second sense, that J only fully acknowledges the depth of this milestone belatedly, a few moments after the fact. Their first communion. A step his ward had staunchly evaded, even for the sake of expedience and his own wellbeing. Makoto's mind locking J out and denying him entry to this singular place he was forbidden to tread for the longest time.

Once that door is opened, J isn't eager to see it shut in his face. So there's the sense of him feeling out the shared connection between them, seeping in like a breath on skin or the roaming of covetous eyes. ]


Is that all? [ Curious, J poses a question with the familiar taunting slant to his words cut away, leaving only a note of patient expectation. ]
