[It had been about five months. She had been here since March. A birthday had passed since then, silently, as it always did.

But something hadn't been brought with her, and that was more important than her birthday: her self-conceived source of courage and hope, the rosary that Fin had given her when she first appeared. As Jeanne she could do anything, she was strong, and she was brave. Just being Maron she wasn't any of those things. Or so she's thought.

Still, Maron kept holding out that it would appear in the item shop and she'd find it here. It wasn't much different than waiting for the mail at her apartment in Momokuri...

So, as she's done for the past five months, Maron will be making her way to the item shop, hoping to find her precious rosary... only to come back out with nothing, just like normal.

Maron will return to her room, looking to the ground as she walks. She's definitely not herself at the moment. Her mask will be back on soon enough. Maybe she'll have better luck tomorrow.

[Later on, her voice will come on over the journals, where she sounds normal.]

I guess I'm going on a mission. The Malnosso let me know of it a couple days ago so... wish me luck if you're not going! If anyone is going, how do they work? Well, besides that we go and work for our captors.

Er, anyway! It sounds like I'll be doing some acrobatics for it. I should practice.

[And out she goes! She'll have her journal on her, but she'll be out by the lake again, practice props with her as well. Hopefully she won't be distracted and leap into the lake by accident.

Or maybe, you'll find her in the lake from an unfortunate leap. Whoops.]

Guess I'm going too. What's your name, little acrobat?

[Might as well meet those who would be in his ring.]

[voice]

[windofgod]

Oh! I'm Maron. What are you going to be doing?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Captain Jack Sparrow. Ringmaster and pirate. Pleased to meet you, lovely.

[voice]

[windofgod]

Oh, you're our Ringmaster? How exciting! It's nice to meet you too, Jack~

You won't work us too hard, right?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Remains to be seen, that. I tend to get the best out of my crew without runnin' them into the ground, as a rule.

What about you? How acrobatical are you?

[voice]

[windofgod]

That's a relief. That means I'll be less stressed out about things!

[Oh. This is something she could brag about, but... well, she won't brag too much.]

I'm decent enough. I do a lot of gymnastics where I'm from. It's what I'm best at, in fact!

[Perhaps as you're looking for your things in the item shop, you might notice a little girl standing behind you! Or you might not. Either way, she's looking pretty curious. Whatcha doin' there?]

[action]

[windofgod]

[She, unfortunately doesn't notice Eiko just yet. It might take her a few minutes. Like when she turns to go elsewhere and whoops there's a kid under her feet.]

Er... hi? I didn't accidentally step on your feet, right?

[ Even the months felt too short here. One month already and he had barely gotten used to the village. Most of the time, he was with Yuri, so getting lost wasn't an issue, but he figured he had to get to know the area sooner rather than later.

Of course, he wasn't one to avoid scenic detours either. Getting to know the area didn't mean just the village and shops, but the wilderness around it. And lake? The lake was beautiful. It made him smile, the serenity of the whole scene just infecting him, almost making him feel as though he was at peace with himse-

...Did...did he just see someone fall into the lake?! ]

H-hey! [ Oh come on, the peace, the peace! ]

[windofgod]

[sputter cough cough GASP God that sucked. Going from lake shore to face first into the lake was... was... NOT COOL. Maron will stand and trudge her way back the few feet back to shore and... oh no is that someone over there?!]

Keeeh just my luck...!

[ action ]

[blowmypinwheel]

[ Jeez, what was this girl thinking? He ran over to her, obviously worried about her state. ]

You alright? [ Of course she wasn't, she fell into a lake. ] You gotta be more careful than that.

[ action ]

[windofgod]

Er... ahahaha yes! Yes I'm fine...!

[Soaked through, but fine.]

I guess my mind was elsewhere while I was practicing. I slipped, tripped, and then fell into the water. [She was so graceful and ladylike! Her teacher back home would probably kill her.]

[ action ]

[blowmypinwheel]

Y-yeah, I figured. [ Whew. At least she was okay...That's what was important, right? ]

At least your not hurt. What were you doing anyway? [ Swan diving? Olympic diving? Regular diving? No one just falls that...well, gracefully, into a lake normally. ]

[ action ]

[windofgod]

Practicing gymnastics, actually. [A short, embarrassed laugh.] Usually I make mistakes in what I'm doing, not falling into lakes.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Eeeeh, you're signing up for missions, Maron-chan?

[voice]

[windofgod]

Ah, I didn't really sign up for this one! But I guess the Malnosso know that I'm pretty good at gymnastics, so I'll give them credit for that one! [And the fact that she's good at sneaking around because of her 'other' job-- but she'll leave that out. NO need for anyone else to know.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

...That's not right- Maron-chan, you can't go on things you don't sign up for, or get approved for? If you don't want to go, you should have said no.

[voice]

[windofgod]

Oh, I don't mind! It sounds like it will be fun. I'll be doing what I like to do the most.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Hoooo. Fair enough then, good luck!

[voice]

[windofgod]

Thanks~ I have to think up a routine that will knock some socks off. That's the best part about this. Too bad no one here will get to see it.

voice;

[menial]

Huh, Kusakabe-san, what is it, exactly? The mission, I mean.

voice;

[windofgod]

Well, the most I was told was that I would be doing acrobatics. My normal gymnastics routines would work just fine for it, so it's going to be fun. I guess we're entertaining someone.

voice;

[menial]

... I'd kinda think it's more like you're breaking into a high-security vault to steal a diamond or something. That sounds more the usual speed.

voice;

[windofgod]

[There's a nervous laugh at that.]

E-even if it was, I don't think I'd be too good at stealing something...

[So she says.]

voice;

[menial]

['...Huh.']

... You sure about that? I mean, I can imagine you being pretty cunning behind that innocent expression.
