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. ]

[retellers]

[ The npc that was just thrown breaks their neck and dies. Anyway.

The gun doesn't do much, except make it pause walking for a moment before it continues on. It's heading for the carriages so it can pick them up and then throw them at the two girls. ]

[stillnot]

[ it's fine they're not... REAL real.

clem's microraptor jumps out of her hood, where it was apparently napping this whole time. it grows to as big as it gets, however big that is, then heads towards the carriages to try to keep the being from doing - whatever it intends to do with them.

clem calls out to jeanne: ]

I don't have anything else!

[ all she has is gun, dinosaur, and... beanbags?? ]

[discernments]

Where is the king? Do we know where the king is?

[ Jeanne also doesn't have anything else. Can't write this being's name on a wedding invitation because

1) don't know its name
2) it's not a participant ]

But maybe your dinosaur can hold it off for a while!

[retellers]

[ Well, I guess this thing is now wrestling with a dinosaur, so the two of them will have some time to catch up. ]

[stillnot]

[ go dino, go!! ]

She's in the garden and she hates my act!

[ ........... was that last part important ]

[discernments]

... I think she needs to like your act for things to go well. Let's go see her together?

I think the dinosaur can keep the being preoccupied.

[retellers]

[ The dinosaur and the being are both still vibing. Don't mind them. A carriage is being thrown somewhere, probably towards the castle. ]
