Outside (Jean)
-She... didn't really do that much, so saying she did good for her first time isn't saying much at all.-
"I'll probably do much worse in a fight."
-...But still, Jean's happy. She can finally live her dream of being a heroine.-
-To change her life and others' for the better.-
-It's honestly a dream come true for her.-
"...Thanks again, by the way."
Oh yeah, probably.
It'll take skill.
All I've done so far is given you power.
Teaching you skill is something I'll have to get sparring partners for you, for.
Although I could probably teach you some basic techniques...
Just form and all that.

...O-oh... If— uhhm, you're— you're certain of that, then, uhhhm... This— this is relieving as a reassurance, y-yes, because— because despite my divinity and immense, uhhhm... p-power, most of— most of the traits perceived as loathsome are out of uhhhm... m-my control, and uhhhm... Y-yes... Thank you...
(Small smile. why are ladies so kind to him lately...)

...O-oh, uhhhm... I—I am the Resplendent Lord, Prince of the Thousand Stars, Demiurge Eternal Panagiotis Lucien Ibarra... B-but this is lengthy, so— so you may call me Panos, o-or God, but— but most default to Panos... And—and you are, mortal...?

Eires furrowed their brow, thinking.
"...Hold up a moment."
Eires untucked their shirt and ripped the hem off, testing it with a gentle tug in either direction. Working quickly, they tied it around her shoulder, wrapping it around and tying it off.
Standing back up, they nodded once, satisfied with the work, and turned to continue on with Sandra.

...Y-yes... And— and it will be resolved shortly, I assume...
…
(Moment of worry for his devotees/allies.)
Eires and Sandra
(That did the trick! Now she's sleeping soundly and not making a yucky bloodmess anymore.)
(lunch over...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Well done, Midna, you fought him off and saved Gracia! The floor is melting, btw-
-Gracia is whimpering in a hunched fetal position, half-phased through the semi-liquid floor, surrounded by wolves-
You know, she tried to kill us.
-She shrugs, and jumps into the portal-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Panos and Felicia
...O-ohhhhh...! Uhhm— how wonderful, what— what a noble profession, the guarding of lives...
(Wheeze...)
When— when I was a small, less-divine lad, I— I was thrown into a pool by some of my, uhhhm... classmates and peers, and— and I nearly drowned, but— but a lifeguard successfully guarded my life and produced me from the deathly waters... I, uhhhm... still think about that, a-a lot actually...
Eires and Sandra
(Y'all UP, and there's the door, which opens into another fairly dark room...!)
(waitin w/the other one)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-The owner of the hand will feel their consciousness start to slip away into a more distant, half-conscious state of mind-
-Also their arm feels like it’s been shoved into a waterfall of freezing cold broken glass-
“Ooh, may not wanna touch that.”
-Midna clenches her fist, tightening the portal around the arm and, with her other hand, directs her wolves to converge around her instead upon noticing Garcia-
“Everybody’s a critic...”
Midna and Gracia
…!…
(The arm convulses, and Midna can hear a very large gasp echo from outside the room.)
(Uh-oh... But here comes Claudius, inching up the other arm. He presses a few buttons on his shiny, metal gloves before reaching down to the flesh of the large arm and...)
(...SCULPTING, with just the flesh and his hands, a sea of grabby, convulsy normal human-sized arms stemming from the big one, which head right for Gracia.)
(And a big robotic claw slowly descends, attempting to grab the arm in the portal by its wrist and drag it out.)
Panos and Felicia
Ohhh... That— uhhhhm— that is very good...! Redemption is accessible to all, even, uhhm... even th-those who partake in such things...
(Small smile.)

Panos and Felicia
...m-most people do, initially, due to my, uhhhm... a-appearing to be a particularly loathsome person, when— when really this is not the case...
(Short, nervous lil' wheezes.)
Eires and Sandra
(Presto! One easy way up to the top.)
(That sleeping dog snores for as long as she's allowed to lie there.)
Midna and Gracia
…! Porca madonna...!
(Hurriedly scurries up the arm and out of sight.)
(Though the hand remains inside the portal, and starts swatting around for something to smash.)
