(The Crown forced a woman who just happened to witness an assassination into an unfair contract.)
(And that Bitch, her Majesty the Queen keeps ordering her to accompany us on missions.)
(And this woman herself, who is so stubborn that she will follow you no matter how many times she gets herself in trouble.)
(I too, tried to test her guts at some point.)
Everything about it is disgusting.
(So I'll end it right here and now.)
Victor: You will spend the day with her. Then sign here at the end of the day.
Victor: What happens if you don't agree?
Victor: At that point, we’ll say goodbye to Kate. Oh, and please keep all of this a secret from Kate.
(I wondered what the hell he was doing calling people out this early in the morning.)
(Fairytale Keeper Continuation Agreement. Ha….stupid.)
Why are you doing this now, don't force this kind of thing on people.
Even if I open my mouth I could be subjected to a number of criticisms though.
I thought to myself as I stared at this shitty consent form.
(Maybe this will put an end to our relationship with that woman.)
Jude: I kind of know whatcha wanna do.
Jude: But the last condition is unacceptable.
Victor: You mean the part about keeping the existence of this consent form a secret from her?
Jude: I don't like sneaking around behind peoples backs without lettin’ ‘em know that they're involved.
Jude: Hey, Victor. I gave ya information and helped Crown once, right?
Jude: Ya haven't paid my information fee yet.
Victor: No way! I gave exactly what you asked for, because you're scary.
Jude: I'm still owed for the interest. But that's all right, we'll call it even.
Victor: Eh.
Jude: I’ll tell Kate everything. Then I’ll kick her out and that’ll be the end of it.
Victor: Hmm. I thought you'd say that since you're a hot-blooded person.
As I turn my back on Victor, who is grumbling, and start to walk away, a voice comes flying in.
Victor: Jude! Spend a day with Kate and assess her. You must comply with this.
(Ridiculous…..)
I headed to the common room and found Isla and Ellis frolicking in front of the arsenal of weapons that that freak was collecting.
Kate: Ellis, this pistol is shaped so that bullets can’t be inserted into it.
Ellis: It's not a real gun, it's a replica.
Ellis: It used by replacing this gun with the opponent's gun or pretending it is a real gun.
Kate: I see.….It looks like it can be used in many ways!
(What are you talking about?)
Kate: Oh, Jude!
Ellis: Oh, Jude. Welcome home.
Ellis: You were called by Her Majesty and Victor. What were you talking about?
As I tossed down the fairy tale keeper continuation agreement, Kate's eyes followed the text, and then her eyes widened.
Jude: To spend the day with and assess ya.
Kate: You’re the one to sign this consent form, Jude?
Kate: So, as long as you sign the consent form, I can continue, right Jude?
Jude: If ya look at the text, you’ll understand.
Ellis: Why Jude? I guess because he’s the most difficult.
Jude: I don't know. If ya have any complaints, tell that Queen's freak aide.
Kate: Do you want to continue as a Fairytale Keeper? Or quit here and leave Crown?
Ellis: What do you want, Kate?
Kate looks up and says in a clear voice.
Kate: I want to continue being a fairy tale keeper.
Kate: I think there is still a lot I can do with Crown.
(An immediate answer).
When she finished speaking, Kate turned her annoying eyes on me.
Kate: Jude, please sign the agreement for me to continue as a Fairytale Keeper!
Jude: If they had asked for my permission and I had said yes, then I wouldn’t have confronted ya in the first place.
Jude: I'm against your continuing as Fairytale Keeper, and I'm against your staying here.
Kate: I thought you’d say that Jude…..
Kate: But I'll never give up. I'll keep fighting until the end, until I get your signature.
Jude: Really? Do as ya please.
Jude: You’re leaving today anyway. Your playing with gifts of the underworld.***
Ellis: If you're happy to continue as a fairytale keeper, I'll help you.
Kate: Thank you, Ellis!
(Shit…..everyone is siding with Kate.)
Ellis: What would make you want to sign it Jude?
Jude: Think for yourself.
Kate: I think it's important that I'm not a distraction to you and that I'm useful to you Jude.
Ellis: Ah, then.
She took us out into the garden and suggested that we have a sparring match.
I guess she wants to prove that she won't be a hindrance even if she accompanies us on a mission, and that she can fight satisfactorily.
(Pointless…..)
I have no reason or time to look at something like this.
But going out with them is just a way to buy time until the end of this useless day called today.
Ellis: Isla, I’ll be your partner.
Kate: Yes, please don’t hesitate.
Kate: Jude, please watch properly.
Kate and Ellis begin to spar, as expected, it looked like a fixed match, like a cat playing with something.
Jude: What are ya showing me? Ellis, if you're going to go easy on her, don't.
Ellis: But…
Kate: It’s my fault for asking Ellis, who is so kind to me.
Kate: Jude, would you spar against me?
Jude: What, I'm just gonna letcha die, and that'll be the end of it?
Kate: Yep.
Jude: Hmmm, let's do it then.
Facing Kate, we made eye contact.
Kate randomly threw some punches and tried to land some light kicks, but I dodged them.
Kate: I thought you’d come in with a kicking technique, Jude.
Jude: Eh, is that what you’re watching? But your back is open.
I go behind Kate and tighten my arms around her.
Kate: Ah…..***
Instantly, Kate bent down and slipped out of my arms.
(You did it…..)
(But you’re getting too carried away.)
I grabbed Kate’s arm and swept her legs, pinning her to the ground.
Kate: Ah…..***
I glared at Kate at a distance where the tips of our noses touched.
(Ha…….Really, not good.)
(Her eyes.)
[Next] [Master List]
***I'm 99.9% sure this second sentence is incorrect. I have no idea what he meant by this, and I spent forever researching this line. But I assume he meant since she's leaving, so is her playtime with the gifts from the underworld AKA the Crown members. It doesn't have a huge bearing on the story, so take it with a grain of salt.
***When they are sparring, Kate uses 'tsu' つ, (not to be confused with the little っ 'tsu', which is silent.). I changed to this to 'Ah', since I wasn't sure how to translate the noise she was making as Jude was grabbing her both times, and it would look weird with 'tsu' written.

So, I made some impulse purchases recently, including this lovely little gal.
Hai Luna~
When I ordered her, it started a bit of a Gardevoir kick in me. So I went and did some brainstorming about Jamie's Gardie pal, Clover.
This did get very long, but there's a lot of art that I really like! :3 Plus I borrowed a certain someone from @mewtwoandme~
Growing up I always drew the green headpiece as a bony structure with maybe green skin on it, like deer antlers. (Except it doesn't shed lol)
But in my efforts to redecide what it actually is to me, I went to Bulbapedia, and that called it hair. So I tried out hair as well, and I kinda like that better...
I love my deranged Gardie. :>
(Leaning into "Mischievous Fairy/Pixie" energy)
I wanted to draw some Gwen (M&M's Gardevoir), as her and Clover's characters are different in a lot of ways, and I thought it would be fun to draw them together. Turns out Gwen dwarfs my girls, and I adore that in every way. XD
I also came to realize that Jamie would admire Gwen--She doesn't wish change on Clover in the slightest, but she does like the grace that more conventional Gardevoirs possess. Plus she'd be astounded by her sheer size.
For the fun of it, I tried drawing them both in each of our styles. (Or more like "Features" than "style")
I did not like drawing Gardevoir in her style. All the respect and love to M&M, but it felt SO wrong to me personally. XD
Annnnd... I kinda accidentally thought of a different way to take their designs...
And then I tried to figure out the logistics of giving Gardvoir a tail. I kinda like the idea of there being one that blends into the Skirt, splitting and running down the length of the skirt ends.
A little character lore; Clover removed her skirt on purpose.
Growing up, I always had in mind that the skirt was skin, maybe acting as thermoregulation, or something like that. I don't think I ever decided whether they can feel through their skirts or not, but if I want it to be more angsty, then yes, they can feel.
Warning for general and self-inflicted injury in this paragraph.
As a kid I figured Clover cut it off to prevent it from getting caught or grabbed. But now, with the developing idea of there being a tail involved, I got another idea with even more angst. I'm thinking possibly Clover had a tail bone broken, and maybe it healed wrong, causing her pain so she ripped off the whole skirt.
Okay, injury warning is over.
And now a little silly that's not exactly canon, but close enough. XD
Y'all can thank @puzzled-zebra for this, as she brought up the idea during a chat. It was too good to pass up. XD
And now I wish to finish with a nostalgia ramble, because Clover is very precious to me, along with Jamie.
I started a playthrough of Soul Silver many, many years ago--even before the playthrough that would become Jamie's trainer journey over ten years ago.
It was a solo run, with a Ralts egg sent in to be my only companion. (I kept the rules soft, though, as I remember needing help from other Pokemon to beat Bugsy. XD)
My memories of that playthough are faded, but I remember that Clover alone beat the Champion at level 64-65. Sometime within the next few years, she was my first ever Pokemon to reach level 100 without the use of Rare Candy or experience cheats.
That playthough and whatever happened in it has no bearing on Clover's story, but it's what gave birth to her as a character, and I hold that very dear.
Her nature is "Hardy, Likes to Fight", and I'm really proud of little me for taking that in the direction she took it. XD
Anyway, that's my super long love-dump of my beloved gremlin fairy. Thanks to everyone who made it all the way, I know it got pretty long. ^^
