animus_network | Second Prayer [video]

[It had taken several days since she and Lancer were swapped back, but Jeanne eventually got up the courage to show her face on the network. Even though some time has passed, she still looks incredibly embarrassed and humiliated at what she'll be talking about.]

If anyone recognizes my appearance as someone who they ran into during the chaos of the past few days... I would like to take this moment to apologize. As some may have guessed, I was not myself, and had no control over what the pervert within this body did while he was occupying it.

[Man, she really looks like she's kicking herself for something she really had no control over.]

If I may ask a small request of those he has spoken to and possibly wronged... I would like for you to forget such things. I do not wish for his deeds to sully any potential alliances or friendships in the future with bad memories. I know it is... somewhat selfish of me to request such a thing, and I completely understand if you do not wish to associate with me due to reminders of what he may have done, but I still want to ask this of you.

That is... all I have to say, I suppose.

[OOC: ONE QUICK OOC REQUEST PLEASE! Due to a bit of confusion, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to retcon any mentions of Servants/Heroic Spirits/the Grail War or Jeanne's true name. Sorry 'bout that!]

As you have said it yourself, you were not yourself. As from someone who speaks from experience regarding these matters, it is he who must carry the guilt - not you.

[ Then, she shifts into a smile. ]

I would not mind pursuing a friendship or an alliance with you, though, regardless of this.

Yes, I know, but I still feel the need to apologize. I should have been able to do something... [But no, she was too busy trying to contain her own freak out. Because of that, he defiled her body and harassed several others...]

You are religious, yes? Then, God shall punish him how He sees fit for his actions. You have not lost your hope in Him because of this event, right?

Of course not! [She sounds... not quite offended, but still deeply shocked.] I would never lose faith in His word.

But even so... I spent too much time occupied with my own problem. I should have been keeping an eye on that man instead.

[ That's android logic for you. ]

Well, have you told him that you are disappointed in him? If so, there is nothing you can do than let time take care of it. Maybe he'll wise up and make sure to not repeat history.

I told him that I did not approve of his actions, yes. Shortly before I told him to cease all contact with me.

Though he may learn from this, it does not take away the damage he has done. It is truly unforgivable.

So I see...

I knew of a very wise man who acted as both a prophet and a savior. He told me that if one wished to rid the negativity that one could spiritually cleanse themselves. I have his book with me in this tower and I could perform the service for you.

His name is Joshua, if you would like to know. He is not in this tower, but he is with me in spirit.

[A prophet and a savior...? Interesting...]

Ah, I mean no offense, mademoiselle, but... of what faith are you? I would gladly accept such an offer, but surely you can understand that I must stay true to my own faith.

None has been taken, I assure you. To put it in to terms you would be more familiar with, it's Catholicism. I also realize that it's important to stay firm with one's faith.

[Ah! That brings a warm smile to her face.] Wonderful. As I said, I will gladly accept your offer, if doing this does not inconvenience you in any way.

[ Friend get? And, hey, Sertoria's smiling just as warmly herself. ]

It does not. Where would you like to meet?

[ \o/ ! ]

I do not have any specific area in mind; whatever is most comfortable for you, I suppose.

How about floor thirteen? It has a cathedral in it.

A fine suggestion... but can we be sure that the cathedral is one built for our specific faith? It would be insulting to perform services in a house built for a completely different branch of worship.

[That's why, though she liked spending some time there, she would save all her prayers for her room or another one of the less dangerous floors.]

Good point...

Then, we can perform the service in either my room or somewhere on the dormitory floors.

[ Those are safer, after all - the safest one can be around here, actually! ]

Your room sounds fine, then, assuming your roommates will not mind.

They will not! In fact, I think I lucked out in the roommate department.

[ A very kind and gentle human girl, a valkyrie and a powerful mage? Yep, she likes her roommates. ]

That is good to hear. I, too, seem to have gotten lucky with my own roommates.

[Ah, but no reason to get off-topic!] What is your room's number?

Floor Three, Room Five. Shall I meet you halfway?

[She nods.] That sounds acceptable. I shall see you seen, then.
