[ Well, she doesn't want it to attack anyone, so she doesn't want to lead it back to the castle, but.

Maybe there is something else in this fog that could help her?

Jeanne runs back into the fog. Away from the being but not towards the castle. ]

[retellers]

[ The king is still frowning, and then sighs. ]

This might not be working out. Why don't we try again?

[ Well, the being just turns and starts following after Jeanne, because of course it does.

As Jeanne runs, the fog thickens until it's hard to see anything at all. But then, for a second, it vanishes, and if she looks around, it's like she's in a modern, large city. Then it's back to fog. ]

[stillnot]

What do you mean? I need to know what you want if you expect me to do it.

It's not too late.

[discernments]

[ Uh? ]

A city?

[ Hello? She slows down in her running and tries to see through the fog some more.

CITY COME BACK. ]

[retellers]

I want something fun for once. So that I stop being bored.

[ Jeanne, if she squints, can see trees.

The being approached. ]

[stillnot]

We can do that. Forget the entire feast.

What would be fun for you?

[discernments]

[ If she can't see anything else, she's going back towards the castle. They're just going to go back to the castle.

Maybe she can outrun it. ]

[retellers]

I want you to perform a neat trick. Right now.

[ Clem can do this because she is a jester.

The being just follows behind Jeanne slowly.]

[stillnot]

[ she doesn't think the juggling thing is going to count.




and yet, she knows literally no other tricks. so she reaches into her jester bag and pulls out some beanbags to juggle. she juggles them for a tiny bit longer than last time. not that i think that's worth much. ]

How's that? Your favorite.

[ clem you can't double down on this lie TO THE PERSON IT'S ABOUT ]

[discernments]

[ Jeanne's going to keep running until she can see the castle grounds again!

Maybe she gets lost. Maybe she find somewhere else. Maybe she runs in circles. Who knows. ]

[retellers]

[ She frowns after Clem finishes. ]

It'll be cooler if you had more bags.

[ or maybe there will be part of a tree thrown at her. ]

[stillnot]

[ she didn't expect to get this far. she picks up her beanbags... and reaches into her bag for even more beanbags.

she tries to juggle More Beanbags but again, does not really know how to juggle so it's more like she just. tosses them up in the air and watches them all fall.

how's that. do you. do you like that trick. ]

[discernments]

[ THE part of a TREE CLIPS JEANNE FROM THE BACK why is it always her back and she eats dirt. She's going to be bruised to hell and back, not to mention the scrapes she's getting from tree bark.

it's amazing nothing is broken yet. ]

[retellers]

[ As Jeanne is not here to vouch for Clem, the trick is just greeted by silence. The king looks at Clementine and then to the dropped bags, and back to Clementine. ]

I think I'm going to make things more fun now.

[ Goodbye Jeanne...

The being just keeps walking, trying tp catch up to her now. ]

[stillnot]

How?

[ clementine... picks up her beanbags... ]

[discernments]

[ Jeanne gets back up because she doesn't know how to stay down.

She's going to stumble her way into a run, but her injuries have slowed her down a bit and she keeps looking back for more thrown trees. Can't believe this is her life now.

Back to the castle!!! Or at least an attempt. ]

[retellers]

[ The girls looks away from Clementine, towards the direction of the forest that Jeanne went into. ]

I just have a feeling it'll all work out.

[ Off Jeanne goes! at least, the being does still walk slowly, so Jeanne can probably reach the castle without too much incident. I mean, it's definitely still following her there, but at least she can reach it. ]

[stillnot]

Ugh, fuck this. Fine, whatever.

I'll be back later.

[ clem is?? going to head towards the forest?? ]

[discernments]

[ CLEMENTINE PLEASE

yaaaay castle!!

i just realized i should have asked if any horses stayed in the fog so she didn't have to run the entire way back injured as fuck

oh well

She's running and she's going to yell. ]

Guards! Are there guards? Knights? Soldiers?

[retellers]

[ I was actually going to ask about horses in my last mod tag and decided not to, because it's funnier this way.

A few groundsmen look up as she yells, wondering what the fuck is the aide yelling about? And then they notice the giant blue being following behind her, and they do the intelligent decision of running away.

Clem is gonna walk into some shit. ]

[stillnot]

[ she has a gun it's... it's probably fine! ]

[discernments]

[ wish jeanne were mean enough to call those groundsmen useless nut no she's glad they ran ]

Clementine! We need a way to counter this! It needs be something magical. [ Probably. ] Regular weapons don't seem to work on it!

[ aka the gun is not fine but clem can try ]

[retellers]

[ Please try.

The being is still walking behind and it... reaches over to grab a fleeing person who ran in the wrong direction, and is now throwing them at Clementine. Yeet. ]

[stillnot]

[ clementine is very good at QTEs. i guess juggling just wasn't a QTE. anyway she dodges to the side and

despite the warning

pulls out her gun to shoot two shots at the being! ]

[discernments]

[ Well. Okay.

She watches to see if it does anything or not, but as she does, she's going to keep yelling at every rando to get out of here. ]
