[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!]

Ah. [She smiled slowly] This is quite different than anything my world has... ah, had, I should say. Our worlds do not exist anymore. So, like most of my world, the realm of the written eludes you?

It is quite strange, yes. I highly doubt I would be able to use such a device at all if I was not shown how to upon my arrival.

[Her own smile fades.] Mm, that is correct. It is not an uncommon thing, where I come from, but here, where so many rely on communicating through writing... [She sighs.] It is somewhat frustrating.

I wonder what else this device could do.

Hmm... [The noise was low, almost a purr] Perhaps you should be taught.

I have only ever seen people use it as a communication tool. If there are other uses, I do not know of them.

And I have had offers to be taught. But with all the strange things happening one after the other, there hasn't been much time to progress.

I see.

Perhaps you have not had the right... [That smile. It's on the edge between being seductive and bloody scary help she's going to eat me] ... incentive to learn quickly.

[... Yeah, she is not liking that smile. Her own doesn't fade much, but something in her expression hardens.] Believe me, I wish to learn quickly. I understand that being illiterate here can be a bit of a handicap, and I wish to remedy this as soon as possible. It is hard to focus on such things, though, when our daily lives are so often upturned by chaos.

There could be ways to keep your attention.

[Yeah, she's just hungry. And she's interested about the divinity she nearly burned herself on since she has no idea where it might have come from]

[Yeeeah, good luck with that.]

My attention, when focused on something, does not wander easily, mademoiselle. I simply choose to prioritize the safety and well-being of the residents of this tower over my personal education. Something such as that can wait.

[She has high aspirations and apparently the need to get her butt kicked]

Then you haven't had the right incentive to keep your attention on education. Perhaps we should meet...

[She may not be very knowledgeable about modern-day courting, but she's not completely oblivious about that kind of thing. She had to keep on guard for it, being surrounded by men all the time.]

Can you not tell me what sort of incentive you might have right here?

It's much easier to be shown.

We are communicating over a device which shows us each other's actions, are we not? You can show me here.

It's not quite the same.

Then I'm afraid I must decline your offer. I apologize, mademoiselle.

Hm. Too bad. It would have been quite easy to teach you.

The easiest method is not always the wisest, no matter the goal you are trying to achieve.

Hm. Is that what you believe?

Indeed, it is.

How sad. If you wish to taste of the other side, then I will be waiting.

I assure you, that is a temptation I will never give in to.
