[ magic, huh? she doesn't comment on it much but does look away for a moment before she answers. ]

Satan. Lucifer.

[ flatly. she could explain but we'll start there, especially it's not like they actively plan to end humanity but just.... well. stuff and things. ]

...and the people stupid enough to want to follow him.

[discernments]

[ Jeanne is silent for a moment. There is something heavy in the thought of that.

She has to consider that it means they're from different worlds. ]

Did those people say why they followed him?

w0; sunday

[discernments]

[ Jeanne remembers their last conversation, and she remembers the kindness that Izumo showed in the trial. She wonders how she's handling the last few days and searches for her.

In front of the inn, she calls out to the other girl. ]

Izumo. Do you have a moment?

[sacredchants]

[ oh. jeanne is not a face she suspects who would call for her but she walks over nevertheless. ]

I do, it's not like there's much to do around here.

[ which is a huge problem considering what they're up against...or seemingly up against. ]

w1; friday

[sacredchants]

[ ara still won't find me a meme but here's a starter—

others might be running around looking at other sites and locations as a reaction to the "message" they received but izumo is perfectly fine with her flowers—daisies and other field flowers—to keep her mind occupied for the moment. depending on how loudly jeanne approaches her, she'll be met with a different response.

so? loudly? quietly? this is actually very important. ]

[discernments]

[ fine HERE

Jeanne isn't loud, only purposeful. Everyone calls her a saint for a reason. (Don't call her a saint.) She's quiet as she approaches, as is her voice when she calls out. ]

Izumo?

wk 1; sunday

[sacredchants]

[ do you know how much i wish it was wk 2?? so badly...at least then i could come up with a better excuse for any of this.

but, by some miracle of izumo being freed from certain people wanting nothing but to comfort her, she'll approach jeanne as she stands there at the docking bay. she doesn't have anything for her injury but she doesn't know if she cares to treat it. regardless, she'll push through. ]

What did he say to you?

[ before he attacked you. ]

[discernments]

[ what is the lore naru i want to know!!!

Jeanne doesn't expect anyone to be kind to her. She doesn't expect anyone to accept what she did or what she let happen. She turns to face Izumo and says not unkindly: ]

He did not want it to be heard.

[ It is the least she could respect, for all that he died because of her. ]

w2; friday

[sacredchants]

[ hello jeanne, izumo is on a very strange mission to tell people about something that is...uh. not something that she should just drop on anyone out of the blue but jeanne seemed like the kind of person who could handle this "well". ]

Ruler.

[ she'll be brief since...she has places to be. well, "places". ]

A moment, if I can.

[discernments]

[ Well. Honestly, Jeanne doesn't think Izumo would want to approach her so soon after yeeting Kano into space, but she never turns anyone away. ]

Of course.

[ Jeanne smells strongly of fish. ]

What can I help with?

w2; saturday

[sacredchants]

[ wow! WOW!!!!

honestly her head and heart's even more of a mess and she has no idea what she should or could be doing? she'll just be staring out into the horizon when jeanne finds her. her hands are still trembling because she didn't care for a moment about the effects of breaking a rule.

as jeanne approaches her, she'll be overwhelmed by the feeling of pure hatred...but also deep sadness. betrayal. ]

[discernments]

[ Izumo will feel Jeanne's very sincere and gentle concern.

However, when she speaks, it's all very neutral in order not to goad or push. ]

Would you like to talk about what he means to you?

wk 3; thursday!!

[sacredchants]

[ izumo is up and out pretty early which is, uh, a thing but sometimes you're just restless because of a number of things that happened the night before. ...and you don't want to bother someone with your troubles because you want to spare them of drama.

honestly, izumo doesn't know who she's looking for but when she catches sight of jeanne, she'll make the effort.

maybe...? ]

Do you have a moment Ruler?

[discernments]

[ Does Jeanne need to sleep? Not often and not usually, for all that she knows. She's up at all times of the day, and sometimes you can't feel anything but notice you're injured, so you have to get that treated.

Jeanne, of course, will stop for most. ]

Yes, of course. How can I help you, Izumo?

w4; monday

[discernments]

[ Jeanne likes to see everywhere a new place holds and doesn't avoid any place in the normal town of the Realm, so wherever she can happen across Izumo. ]

Izumo, hello. I hope this new week is treating you a little better than the last.

[ Since her other castmate died.

There may or may not be any bubbles nearby. Jeanne is doing her absolute best to avoid them, and she's doing a good job. The only problem is that she has a dilophosaurus that likes to jump on bubbles.

And before Jeanne can catch it, it goes and pop goes the bubble! They are in a chapel and the dusted remains of what was once a Servant and Master turned vampire are on the floor.

There is a startling clarity and realization that comes to Jeanne upon seeing Shirou Kotomine. Have some visuals even though I know you're fate/ familiar. The first five images are for the first part, and the last four are for the second part. ]

[sacredchants]

[ she was going to greet jeanne in the best way that she could which is about...as well as anyone can given her circumstances. which ironically was for the most part rather decent compared to her track record.

shame that it gets completely ruined as she is immediately met with the memory and it's overwhelming in the fact there are a lot of things being said that almost make sense. there is archer (chiron?) and jeanne (jeanne d'arc???) and a talk of a war? salvation for humanity...?

hm. that sure puts things into context for her with their first conversation here. ]

Jeanne d'Arc, is it?

[ sorry if that's widely known but izumo has had no idea. ]

week 5, friday

[discernments]

[ Jeanne is slowly walking through the gardens in a fancy dress and comes to a stop once she sees Izumo. ]

Should you be out here, Izumo?

[ As if Jeanne can talk from her own CYOA but shhhhhh ]

[sacredchants]

[ izumo will be still in her cute outfit in favor of anything else. it's...a little beaten up from her cyoa but it's largely still intact and that's what matters. ]

Was I supposed to stay inside? It seemed like it'd be a more hazardous if I stayed inside.

[ you know. all of the investigation sites. ]

week 5, saturday

[sacredchants]

[ i have no idea how izumo got here but she is. she's here.

and she'll be slumped against the wall across from the barrier because this is going to be her current state for a while. ]

Was your thinking for what you did the same reason that I've been considering?

[discernments]

[ it's fine. how is anyone moving around when everyone is super poisoned?

Jeanne is kneeling, her hands folded together as if she were praying, but she is aware enough that she'll get visitors that it's not actual prayer.

She immediately looks up whenever Izumo comes. ]

You offered to die. I offered to kill.

[ And she still offered to die because Jeanne always meant to be found. She couldn't make that murder any more transparent. ]

w5; sunday i'm going to laugh if this catchall surpasses when we were castmates

[discernments]

[ Jeanne is around!! She can be around wherever Izumo is. She thinks she's settled into being alive again. It's not like she's unused to dying and getting a second life, but this situation is different?

It's different.

She walks around like it's different still but raises a hand in greeting when she sees Izumo. ]

STOP....but they will probably.

[sacredchants]

[ well, i have no idea where izumo can be but she might not be as chipper as jeanne is with her new chance at life? if anything she seems to be perplexed by a number of things but.

she'll lift her head to greet jeanne. in her lap is perhaps familiar carbuncle? something that should be following someone else around instead of being with her? hm. ]

Ruler...or Jeanne.

w6, friday

[sacredchants]

[ well, if jeanne wants to look for izumo anywhere, she can be found by the pier just hanging out at the end of it. she's...not surprised about how there were two bodies.

enough of them knew that would be the case, right? though the fact that she's still sitting here... ]

[discernments]

[ Izumo just erased a whole third body. Wow.

Is she sitting at the end? I assume because of her leg. Jeanne takes a seat next to her. ]

Did your team hit the waves last night, Izumo?

w6, saturday

[discernments]

[ Let's say this is in the inn lobby, so Izumo can be sitting because of her leg.

Jeanne takes a seat next to her, and there's almost a sadness to the way she sits down. ]

You... were angry at the reveal.

[ She thinks she saw that. ]

[sacredchants]

[ works for me. perhaps she's waiting for a certain someone to pass her by. or, well, just needing a moment. either way, she's not against jeanne joining her. ]

I was. [ everyone was sad and yet there was izumo low key pissed. makes sense that she would stand out. ] Is it surprising?
