[CLOSED]
WHO: Kasen and Jeanne
WHERE: Everywhere!
WHEN: Beginning of August
WHAT: Exploring the town!
WARNINGS: N/A
[ After logging off from the computer, Kasen cheerfully makes her way over to the well to wait for Jeanne. She calls upon Mukou and Kanda to accompany her. If anything, Kanda can probably help them scope out the area from above and Mukou can... cheer them on? In any case, the little raijuu was eager to tag along regardless.
to The well is the same as the first day she crawled out of it, a solid structure in the woods. Kasen decides to take a seat and lean against it, enjoying the nice day out. Mukou nestles into her lap to take a quick little doze while Kanda perches nearby, shielding them from the rays of the sun.
Kasen pets Mukou's fur absentmindedly as she muses aloud. ]
I hear there's something big going down here soon.

[ It's what drives her, and it's what stabilizes her.
She smiles at Kasen's enthusiasm for sweets. It almost reminds her of... well, the Saber she mentions. ]
It's all right. Thank you for the offer. If you still had them, I would've wanted you to keep them.
[ Not because she doesn't want or like them (no, she can eat just as much as anyone), but as sweet as the gesture is, if Kasen loves them that much, she deserves them more. ]
Do you want to stop by the cafe to see?
no subject
[ She's about to say more in response to Jeanne's question when she suddenly feels a sharp, sudden pain in her head, causing her to stumble. ]
Oh!
no subject
[ As she sees fit. It's not like she thinks anyone's above a lecture, if they need one. ]
Kasen? Are you all right?
no subject
She really hadn't expected this to be happening here. All her carefully laid plans, all the training she had given Reimu, it ended up not mattering at all. However, from the brief time she's gotten to know Jeanne, she feels like she can be the one to do the job. She gently presses the cloth coverings into Jeanne's hands.
If Jeanne were to examine them closely, she would notice a small silver fragment, sharp and tapered, presumably from a blade. ]
I will be alright, but we don't have much time. I miscalculated. Please, take this. I feel like you would know what needs to be done.
[ She hadn't expected the arm to be so... angry. She can't really tell Jeanne her plans out loud because whatever she says out loud, the arm will know too. For now, she has no choice but to fuse with it again and hopefully minimize any potential destruction it may cause. She hopes Jeanne will know what to do with the fragment, when it comes down to it. ]
no subject
I will do what must be done, but is there no other way?
[ She's no coward when it comes to shedding blood when it's necessary, but it has to be necessary first. She prefers to explore other options first. ]
no subject
The past always catches up to us someday.
[ She gives a wry smile and holds out her arm, her good arm, out for Jeanne to shake. ]
It would just be a temporary fix to the problem. With this...
[ She trails off again. ]
I'll run over to meet it. I am not going to seem like myself very soon. You will meet the true Kasen.
no subject
Jeanne nods resolutely. She will not shy away. ]
The past shapes our present, which leads to our future. Do what you must. I won't leave and let you harm others. [ That is the sense she gets from what Kasen has told her. How great will that arm's influence be? ]
I'm ready to meet the true Kasen.
[ She shifts her grip on the shard handed to her. ]
