[open] some Kenoma come up to Godsblood the other day...

WHO: Amos, Gen, Eustace, Childe, any Pleroma
WHAT: Amos wants a gun, Eustace wants to make a portal, and in order to make it happen they go to...
WHERE: Godsblood.
WHEN: Towards the end of Visoseri/start of Soviseri
WARNINGS: None, unless you count bullying of various Pleroma; will add as necessary


The content of this entry is intended to be an OOC explanation of what's going on to keep everyone up to speed; any characters who may be in Godsblood during this time period are free to top level or tag out. This is not an event and simply a unique instance that some characters are kinda sorta technically in enemy territory, which opens itself up to thread opportunities that would not otherwise be possible.

Basically: four Kenoma are journeying up to Godsblood, albeit not all together and through different means.

Amos and Gen will be arriving via a boat directly from Achamoth, and accordingly, will be outed as Kenoma Aions right from the get-go — the populace should know who they are, and word of their arrival would likely get around. Amos is there because he wants to build a higher quality gun than what they have in Achamoth and Godsblood is the place to do it; Gen is there to serve as backup/moral support/because they're friends, okay. Story plotting link here for more details.

Eustace and Childe will be sneaking in via carriage from the Artisan shrine/a portal and will therefore not be known as Kenoma Aions upon entry to Godsblood — unless there are characters there who already know who they are, that is. Eustace is setting up a portal to facilitate travel between Achamoth and Godsblood. This is not public knowledge and non-Kenoma Aions/NPCs are unlikely to know about this. Story plotting link here for more details.

The mods have also provided some guidelines for how interactions could go between characters so that any Pleroma wouldn't necessarily have to out themselves as Aions when it comes to interacting with Amos or Gen, who are publicly declared as such. Highlighting what was said further down in Amos' plotting comment:
It wouldn't be unreasonable for a visiting Aion to be chatting up people within Godsblood so sharing a meal ... wouldn't be a dead give away, but it might tie them to the Aions on the rumor network if they do it in public. Whether they are just strangers Gen and Amos are dining with or whether they are connected to Achamoth won't be clear, but it would definitely have implications ... It's definitely a risk, at any rate.

As for meeting in a busy street or a public park the connection is still possible but a lot less likely, since the odds of them chatting up some rando in the park is a lot more likely than sitting down for dinner with them. It'd also be a lot more obvious if someone was spying on them, unlike a closed environment like a pub or eatery, so that'd probably be the safest option without going somewhere deserted or private.

["Oho?" The shopkeeper is genuinely flattered to hear that. "Well that's mighty kind. Our s'more's cone is our popular treat every Visoseri! Chocolate chunk ice cream with toasted marshmallow swirl, served in a graham cone and dusted with crumbs for a real campfire taste."

It's a very practiced pitch, and it works.]
Ah, that sounds so good... [He's practically drooling at the thought as he approaches the ice cream counter and stares in at all the flavors.

And then he looks over his shoulder at Amos.]
Two of those?

["Comin' right up good sirs!" The gentleman gets to work on the first cone, leaving the jools on the counter for now to provide them with their treats first.

Yuya peels away from staring at the rest of the ice cream to watch this instead. When the shopkeeper offers him the first cone he takes it with a wide grin.]
Thank you!

[He barely, barely manages to refrain digging in while Amos's cone is still being made. He can wait, at least until Amos is handed his and the shopkeeper is counting out the jools.]

[He has some manners.

Not while eating, though. One he takes a bit full of graham cracker and ice cream he proceeds to talk before it even finishes melting in his mouth.]
So good!

[He grins, offering the shopkeeper a thumbs up. The old man chuckles as he leans against the counters, happy to see the simple bliss that ice cream brings.]
