::In the area surrounding the tower in the middle of Domino, called "World's End Palace - Carcosa", you find Kanan, Kamala's friend who is apparently a relative of Kanan the Sword Mistress. She is in black and crimson robes with several figures resembling D.D. Guides, as you hear ominous(?) chanting in an unearthly tongue, before a collection of rose bouquets.

Maybe you should ask her what's going on once the services are done.::

Comments

[itkananbe]

It is within the standard services, but not The Standard Service, if that is what you mean.

::Hands rested on her lap, wearing the cloak.::

[becomeanwarrior]

Hrm...

[ Tapping an index finger against his leg. ]

And if this was not the standard service, could you explain to me what this service entailed, Ms. Kanan?

[itkananbe]

Revelation, Milord Protector and Defender of the Faith.

[becomeanwarrior]

Revelation?

Can you... expand on that?

[itkananbe]

There is a sense of a need for Gnosis and Revelation of the future, Milord, for the second seal cracks on Her Majesty's power.

[becomeanwarrior]

...The second seal cracks on Her Majesty's power... You mean "Lady Abraxia", yes?

So this ceremony is preparing the followers for the destruction of the second seal?

[itkananbe]

It is breaking. The second seal of Darkness is breaking.

It's what we should do about the breaking of the third seal of Glory and the grand seal of Divinity.

[becomeanwarrior]

[ In translation: Kamala is going to ascend, whether he likes it or not, it's a matter of handling it. ]

Tell me about these seals, Ms. Kanan. What do you believe should be done? You have held counsel with the Lady often, after all.

[itkananbe]

The First Seal is Undeath, she is blessed with life eternal.
The Second Seal is Darkness, for she is an agent of the gentle darkness.
The Third Seal is Glory, for she is the daughter of queens
The Grand Seal is Divinity, for she is the Ruler of This World.

I desire the path of least suffering for The Lady, as well as the path where I get to kiss her.

[becomeanwarrior]

[ ...Well, good to know it's still Kanan under there. ]

I agree, largely, with your stated goals, as Protector of the Faith - the path that leads to the greatest happiness for the Lady is my utmost priority.

What will happen when each seal breaks? The fourth seal is obvious, but the second and third...

[itkananbe]

The Second is tied to her anger and her power as the priestess of the Crimson Extinction, she shall gain the power of the Earthbound in full.

The Third is tied to her desire and greed, who can said, but The House That Does Not Exist will inch closer to reality, perhaps, Lord Protector.

[memoryistime]

That didn't answer my question, and you know it.

*... raising their hand in turn, imitating you.*

[itkananbe]

The lack of the answer is the answer, so no, it usually does not.

[memoryistime]

Oh, only figures.

But is your, uh... Service here, all done with for now?

[itkananbe]

Yes.

Might I recommend getting yourself a taco?

[memoryistime]

If you accompany me to get it, then sure, why not. I'll try a taco.

*I feel like I shouldn't let you out of my sight while you're in an altered state...*

[itkananbe]

... it might be good to clear my head, yes.

::It's not like my congregations is going to abduct me, place Armaments of Ascension on me, and I'm going to end up an extremely curvy 15 year old.::

[becomeanwarrior]

The power of the Earthbound, and The House That Does Not Exist... [Which almost certainly means some certain divinities I am privvy to, of course.]

So, then, what are we attempting to do to make things easier for Her Ladyship?

[memoryistime]

*the fact that thought just popped into my head gives me no assurances, and you know that.

Going with you then to where the food is.*

How often have these... services been going on, here? In this location?

[itkananbe]

At least once a week since the Tower formed, infrequently before that.

::It'll be fine, nothing dumb will happen by September 15th.::

[itkananbe]

Find the Golden Path, and know what challenges she faces.

[becomeanwarrior]

[ He's going to narrow his eyes. Not in suspicion, but contemplation.]

And how do I find the Golden Path, Kanan? I've been looking for it, but I need a thread to pull.

[itkananbe]

At the farthest end of the other side. She must go there, as she is hunted by many enemies. Far beyond the stars.

But the seals must be broken, so that she is strong enough to travel. She must awaken from the dream. The sleeper must awaken.

[memoryistime]

*why am I suddenly worried about a specific date?!*

... what's the purpose of these services, anyway?

[itkananbe]

::Probably just paranoia and a bad piece of meat.::

Most are just normal religious services to give praise and worship and adore the Neverborn Queen, Abraxia, the embodiment of Freedom both adoring and cruel. See what Shinto matsuri or Christian services are far. Veneration of the transcendent and divine.

This one in particular was to seek revelation of how to ensure the salvation and protection of the world, as well as her majesty's ascension in full.

::Yes, but it's elder god cult worship of a cute girl who still thinks light up sneakers are super neat.::
