march
summary: the “end” to the pale plots… at least for now. fucking hell this is where i stopped logging anything oh god oh fuck
- march 11th | private icc| comms with lilith.
- jean sees lilith for the first time since their fight. once he confirms lilith is normal and not armed, he tries to make amends, and lets lilith know that it’s okay to be mad at him for the whole pale thing, because jean is mad at lilith for the whole trying to murder him thing. they discuss guilt and caring about others and how much of a pain in the ass it is.
- march 13th | a strange home spine-chilling cluster to un-fuck | drabble.
- jean finally gets his wish, and wild pale yonder pulls back her influence from lilith, beck, inay, tidus, and agatha… as well as everyone else he’s ever cursed. in return, jean’s mind is wiped clean, and he’s forced to live in a state of jamais vu, 7 years younger. what might look like sacrifice is more an act of trickery, but upon reflection, he’ll realise that he was kind of stupid for thinking wild pale yonder would make anything simple.
- march 14th | private icc | with lilith sphinx.
- lilith realises he's no longer in pale symptoms hell and goes to ask jean what's going on, only to find a very confused and oddly polite cigarette bird. lilith tries to help him while wishing he'd just call him a slur or something already because this is freaking him the fuck out.

- september 2nd | private icc | with lilith & dante from devil may cry.
- while out searching for harry after almost 48 hours missing, jean is drawn to the devil may cry headquarters by his skills insisting that harry might be hiding in there. upon breaking in to the garage, all jean finds is the gun that triggered lilith's rampage as furiae, which is impersonating his skills to convince him to pick it up. furiae attempts to possess him, only to be swallowed by wild pale yonder, but not before it turned jean himself into a half-demon. already emotionally unstable, he transformed into his devil trigger form and rampaged, alerting dante, who promptly began playing with his food. lilith arrived on the scene to prevent dante from killing jean, instead pacifying him until he was able to return to his normal self. just another tally mark on the "reasons for jean and lilith to feel immense guilt for the harm they bring upon each other" wall!

- jean decides he's finally had enough of echo and needs to move on for good this time. when he goes to retrieve his belongings from the motel, harry baits him into another argument, then a physical fight. of course they get horny about it. harry asks him to come to the lake one last time. jean agrees, despite and in spite of himself, and meets harry at the lake for one last conversation. harry explains that he felt compelled to come to echo by shivers, and the town itself drove him to his death -- by suicide. he asks jean to put him out of his misery, for both of their sakes, and jean agrees to drown him. with harry well and truly gone, jean heads to the smoke room for a drink in his honour, and to mark the last time he'd ever visit echo by choice.
- november 6th | private icc | with jaskier, bob & suspicious canine.
- drunk on both alcohol and grief and determined to prove he can be cool about harry's death, jean heads to the back of the smoke room, where all the gay furries are engaging in all kinds of debauchery. he attempts to hit on a canine, but is cockblocked by two humans who are looking for answers regarding the motel murder. as the stranger explains himself, all around them, the other patrons begin to succumb to the hysteria, and the orgy turns to acts of cannibalistic violence. jean and the humans manage to escape.

- november 28th | private icc | with lilith.
- after breaking away from the hysteria in the middle of the town, he finds himself looting a liquor store and happens upon a trail of dead bodies. he gets kind of weird and horny about a dead pig that he considers eating (?) but thankfully (?) lilith (?) interrupts him. high on adrenaline and grief and hysteria, jean isn't able to understand that it's lilith he's attacking. he discovers his demon energy powers, and just how powerful the gun is. it's the second time this month that he's asked to kill someone he cares about for their own good.
