🦢 our lady of sorrows 🕯

[thee-joan-of-arc]

how did your first kiss go like?

I've never kissed anyone except for Dhruv. *glances at his hunched figure studying at his desk* And it was very nice.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🐈‍⬛🦇🕷️

Look! *giggles, sitting on porch stoop and pointing at destroyed pumpkin on step* A squirrel and his girlfriend have been gorging on this pumpkin all /day/! The last I saw of them, they were both twice the size from when they began. *shakes head, smiling* Creatures are so fun to watch.

Could you tell us the story of your "coming back from the dead" experience?

Shhh... *sits cross legged on floor with eyes closed, hands resting on knees* I'm meditating.

More than one god? *gazes at them thoughtfully, rubbing own cheek* You seem to be very much an enigma wrapped inside of a mystery, Nisse. One almost wishes to grab a tiny thread and proceed to slowly, methodically pull until the secrets fall away and reveal the true inner nature of your being. *smiles, leaning against tree* Though I shall not be grabbing at your strings. My own time is early 15th century France, the Domrémy region. Are you familiar with France?

*looks up from their lute and cocks it's head* Alas, the face before me remains but a stranger. Though, a stranger is always a seedling to a possibly great harmony.

A sacrifice… *looks into the distance, rubbing thumb on the webbing of her hand distractedly* Yes, many lambs have been sacrificed in the name of god, haven’t they? *trails off, silent for a moment before shaking head and turning eyes back to them* I would very much enjoy joining you for a drink and palaver. Stone kingdoms and white lilies… *tilts head* The Stone Age?

Oh no, I’m no nun. *quickly shakes head* Not now or in my previous life… *pauses, thinking* I suppose you could say I had nun-like qualities in my first life, yes, but I never officially pledged myself to god such as nuns do. *gazes at them for a moment* It’s difficult to pinpoint what time you’re from… *squints harder* Usually I can tell but not with you. Somehow you seem ageless.

*gazes at them in wonder* Do you- *lowers voice* Do you speak with the spirits? For sometimes the spirits speak to me, and I’m able to respond. Is it the same for you as well? *blushes lightly, clearing throat* I suppose I sound a little mad, don’t I?

Joan of Arc Kissing the Sword of Deliverance

1863, Dante Gabriel Rossetti

[thee-joan-of-arc]

There might be spirits, yes, but none that I can see at the moment. I just- *clears throat* I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before, the sight took my breath away for a moment. *pauses* Do you see spirits?

*hesitates, gazing at them a long moment before giving a small wave* Hello. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, I'm Joan.

Have you ever taken part in psychotherapy?

Psycho...therapy? *looks confused, slowing coming to a stop in middle of sidewalk* I'm not entirely sure what that is so... *begins walking again* I don't think so, no.

[thee-joan-of-arc]

What’s your favorite Fall activity?

*finishes filling up giant water bottle, screwing on top* The fall meant harvest and finally time to spend in the fields.

[thee-joan-of-arc]

Thirsty? Has it been going on long?

I'm not sure, maybe... *places bowl and spoon in sink, cleaning and putting in dish strainer* a week or so?

Happy Bi Visibility Day!

Bi? *pauses eating ice cream, standing in kitchen in tube socks and oversized t-shirt* Bi visibility? This is...a holiday?
