Description: Ninon and Mignon meeting up! And what will bring them close together!? KITTTTTIEEEEES!
Considering the hour, there are not many people outside of the school. There are a few students about, perhaps needing a breath of fresh air between homework assignments, or planning to sneak off campus for some reason or another. Other then those few, the grounds are quiet and serene. This makes the fact that someone seems to be sneaking around them that much more obvious.
It is no pervert that is out this evening, however, but a student of the school, a student who, apparently, would prefer to remain unnoticed at the moment. This student is, of course, Ninon Beart. Her identity would be obvious to anyone that knew her even without seeing her face, as she absolutely refuses to wear the Seijyun school uniform. What isn't obvious is what exactly she is doing.
You'd almost think that she'd lost a contact lens or something. She seems to be wandering around outside of buildings and leaning over to look underneath bushes. She does this in complete silence. Maybe she is searching for the secret Lost Treasure of Seijyun High or something?
Unfortunately Ninon isn't alone. The terror that lurks in the darkness is not that which tries to hide itself in darkness, much like Ninon, the black clothing keeping her mostly hidden to a point. NO, this terror does not need the darkness, instead, this terror thrives on the light.
And as Ninon seems to be looking around the buildings, under bushes, a different, more pink clad Beart stalks along the lighted hallways inside the building, crying out it's horrible cry!
"NIIIIIIIIIIINON! Where are you Ninon!? Mignon is looking all over and getting scared. Where are you Ninon, it's almost lights out!!! NINON!? Oh if Ninon is becoming disobedient what would they think!? .. Mignon ... Mignon can't let this happen!"
And crashing through a door, Mignon not only throws the doors open to the building, but continues running forwards, tripping, rolling, crashing, and then stopping .. inches from Ninon .. NIIINON! MIGNON FOUND YOU!"
Throwing up her arms into the air .. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" She smiles, sitting on the ground, and happy.
She'd carefully avoided having to spend any time with her foolish sister ever since she'd come here. She'd made sure that her dorm was far away from Mignon's, she'd studied her sister's class schedule to make sure she avoided being in the same hallways at the same time, she'd done everything she could to make sure she didn't have to put up with her frustratingly foolish sibling. But now, because of a moment's foolishness, all her planning had proven worthless.
"Hello, Mignon." She doesn't even bother to mask the distaste in her voice. Her reason for responding isn't out of kindness. She simply doesn't want to put up with a pointless lecture about how she should answer her big sister. "Tell me, why are you here? Did you really feel that you needed to come all to Southtown to make my life miserable? I don't need someone like you to look after me, you know. I am more then capable of taking care of myself. Surely you must realize this by now, considering how far behind me your power has become. Don't y.." But she falls silent as she hears a rustling in the bushes in a nearby building. She stops her insults and turns torwards the sound. "Hmph. Found you already."
Well that's just not nice, Ninon. And as Mignon smiles, happy that she found her sister, it turns out that Ninon is .. less. And at that distaste, Mignon thinks for a second. "Hmmmm... Why is Mignon here ... why is Mignon here..." Tapping her pink hair a few times, she crosses her legs. "... Why IS Mignon here?"
OH RIGHT. Brainstorm. Or drizzle. "Mignon came to keep track of her best ever sissy whom she loves with all her heart!" She proclaims, rather proud, even with the distaste in Ninon's voice. ".. Mignon's not making your life miserable and you know it, Mignon knows you're just joking around, too! Heehee.. That's nice and funny Ninon!" And it seems Ninon found something as well, after proclaiming in so many words that NINON >>>>>>0>>>>>>-infinity>>>> Mignon.
BUT. She's not sad! "Oooh.. What are you looking for, Ninon? Mignon's ready to help, too! Show me, show me! Mignon wants to see! Maybe Mignon can help, Mignon's sure she could help her best ever sissy!" She moves up to her knees to get a good look!
Joking. Right. While there may be some part locked deep inside of her that actually cares about the bubble-headed Mignon, the Ninon that the outside world sees is very much not kidding at all. She would be happier as an only child, the sole heir to her grandmother's power rather then having to share that with a fool of a sister. "Yes, well, that doesn't change the fact that I don't need you. Now be quiet, before...." Before its too late is what she was going to say, but apparently it already is. A shadowy blur dashes out from behind the bushes, running away behind another building. "....before that happens. Thank you so very much for your help, you've just wasted 30 minutes of my life. I don't imagine you intend to give them back, do you?" She sighs. "If you wish to help, then fine. Keep quiet and if you see something running at you, don't let it past you. Perhaps you can make up for wasting my time. Now keep quiet if you want to help. Otherwise, go back to your room, I don't really need your help. I am merely being generous." And without waiting for an answer, she runs off after the mystery shadow.
Ninon gets to talking about it, and nodding, Mignon smiles. "Oh come on Ninon, you need your big sister!" She smiles bright and wide, looking over as she goes to get that object.. and when it bolts outwards, a shadowy blur as it dashes and runs away, Mignon screeches. "AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! W-WHAT WAS THAT!? MIGNON'S SCARED!" And, to Ninon's horror, gets closer in fear.
But still, as Ninon frowns and sighs, Mignon awws. "Mignon's sorry sis, and Mignon's going to help you get it back alright, Ninon! Mignon's not going to just leave it up to you after Mignon did something bad! She won't let those 30 minutes go to waste!"
And making a sign for zipping away her mouth, and tossing away the key, Mignon nods and follows after Ninon, a slow speed compared to her.. she has to be suuuuuper secret. And that thing was a bit scary .. but Mignon's not going to just let that stop her.
From helping Ninon! No way at all.
Ninon can't help to be somewhat amused at her sister's fright. The shadowy thing is hardly fearsome as the older Beart will no doubt discover before long. Ninon seems to have kept good track of the thing as she zeroes in on its hiding spot before long. She slowly leans over, hands reaching beneath a bush..and then whoosh! The shadow zips right between her legs. "Oh come on!" Ninon cries out in annoyance, prompting a curious look from a student passing by within the building. A few moments glaring is all it takes for the student to decide that no, she actually doesn't need to know what the weird girl in the black dress is doing.
This leaves Mignon to deal with the horrific beast! The creature zips straight torwards her without a fear in the world. In the light it is obvious that it is no monster, it appears that Ninon has been chasing after a cat, a kitten really judging by its size. With a mighty leap, the feline launches itself straight at Mignon, clearly intent on testing its own Kitten Style against her own! "You better not let her get past you!" Ninon calls out in an annoyed tone.
As Ninon rushes towards it, moving closer .. and failing.. this means Mignon is left alone with the ferocious beast! And the Beart ... can she take such a beast?! The object zips towards Mignon as she follows after Ninon, the witch almost tiptoeing before that object .. BEELINES TOWARDS MIGNON!?
"AIEEEE!" She cries out once more, as Ninon says she shouldn't let it get past her.. and then Mignon, far be it for her to run, is overcome with indecision as the object in the darkness leaps towards Mignon! She's doomed!
Catching it, though, Mignon holds it up.. Is it killing her yet?
It meows, and Mignon's eyes light up, looking at him .. and just beaming .."Awwwww... Ninon's got a pretty little cutie kitty cat! Meeoooooow! Meooooow.. Meeeoooooooow!" Mignon imitates a cat! Badly!
"You're just the sweetest thing .. Ninon, Mignon got your little kitty!"
Not only is the kitten not killing her, it seems that, after she has a few moments to calm down, she seems to rather enjoy being held. "Mirabelle is not my 'little kitty', she is my familiar." Ninon corrects as she steps towards her sister and the kitten in her arms. The kitten doesn't match Ninon's dark look at all. She's a little thing with white fur, and looks entirely too friendly to have anything to do with the younger Beart at all. She's settled into Mignon's arms now that she's calmed down, and by the sound of her, is purring up a storm. "Her mother was struck by a passing car. The other kittens were afraid of me, but she was different. She showed strength and came right to me, unafraid. That is why she is the one I claimed as my own, while the others were left to fend for themselves." Only parts of her words are true. She never left the other kittens to perish. She does not treat many people with kindness, but animals don't have the bad habits that make Ninon hold humanity in disdain. She saw them taken to a proper animal shelter, and would deny it if asked about it. She can't be seen as soft-hearted, after all. "And while I trust that she can take care of herself, I would prefer that she not wander the campus unattended. She is a cat, and lacks the intelligence that sets animals apart from humans. She doesn't know any better then to run into the middle of the street like her mother did." She is trying her best to sound like her normal self, but there is only so fierce you can make yourself out to be when you've just admitted to taking home an orphaned kitten. "Besides, I am fairly certain that this school does not tolerate pets. While I could care less about their foolish rules, I do not wish to have to deal with their whining."
As Ninon looks over, correcting Mignon, Mignon blinks. "Your .. Familiar? ... Oh. You're familiar with her! Okay. Mignon understands now!" It makes so much sense. And with Ninon moves closer, Mignon holding Ninon's little widdle kitty, holding her still, and smiling. And the pure white kitten is so cuuuuuuute. Mignon's so happy, and purring, it seems the kitty is happy too, as Mignon holds her.
And then Ninon tells Mignon that their mother died. And then Mignon looks to Ninon. And as Ninon explains, Mignon sniffs. Once. Then twice ... Sniff. Sniff ..
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mignon cries out, crying and rocking the poor widdle kitty. "Those poor kitties.. having no one to help them .. Mignon is sad for these cute little kitties but Mignon's so proud of her little sis for taking care of them!" Ahhh. No, she didn't hear about her taking them all. Mignon just hears what she wants to at times.
Or maybe that's why she's crying.
"Mignon .. Mignon knows that her little sis is really a good person at heart like she had hoped and that she doesn't mean anything at all that she says about her big sis.. because Ninon's just trying to protect all the little kitties out there like Mignon wants world peace..." She's got a few screws loose.
"Hugging the cute kitty, Mignon .. sniffs and cries a bit more.
Is she even listening?
Probably not. She probably also isn't noticing Ninon staring at her as if she'd just decapitated herself and a giant spider had emerged from her neck. No words come to the gothic lolita's mouth, she simply shakes her head. She hadn't missed having to deal with this on a daily basis. "You really are foolish, aren't you?" Mirabelle is plucked from Mignon's arm with a little surprised mew. Ninon holds the kitten up in front of her face by the scruff of her neck. "You caused me a bit of trouble tonight, you know. That is not the sort of thing a familiar should do. You are supposed to help me, not...hey, stop that!" She's interrupted as the kitten starts to lick her face. She holds the cat closer to her chest to avoid being licked. "And why couldn't you of had black fur? You're getting it all over my dress, you know." Much like Mignon herself, the cat doesn't seem to realize that Ninon is anything aside from happy, and curls up next to her. "Hmph. Well, I suppose you did help me this evening, siste. But you must learn to control yourself more if you ever wish to be anything but a childish fool. Not everything in life is going to be as simple as searching for Mirabelle was. This city in particular could be dangerous to someone like you. Or have you already gotten yourself in over your head? I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case."
.. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Mignon's not spidery and if she DID somehow have her head come off hearts and rainbows would fly out with ponies and Unicorns. NOT SPIDERS. ICK ICK ICK.
BUT. Back to the task at hand. As Mignon's hands are kittyless again, but with Ninon holding her, and as Mignon watches Ninon have her face licked, Mignon sniffs .. then giggles. Then giggles a whole lot, and as the fur gets all over over Ninon, even curling up next to her, Mignon laughs a bit and smiles bright towards Ninon. "MHMMM! Mignon is the best at helping! The very best! Mignon's already helped people get better, helped against violent street crime, and help people test themselves! .. I think Mignon helped that. Or Mignon must have gotten beaten alot." Oh well! And as She asks to control herself.. "Wellll .. Mignon's ALREADY found someone who threatened to kill her! But Mignon's alive so it's okay alright! Even if his blades were nasty and hurty!"
"And how exactly is any of that......oh, never mind." Ninon has long since given up any hope of being able to figure out her sister. The two are so vastly different its impossible to think that they're even related. "You are fortunate that this person did not simply slay you. Your lack of power would make that a relatively easy task." She's like a broken record, always wanting to make sure her sister realizes that she, Ninon, is the stronger one. And of course it likely goes ignored each and ever time she says it, too. "You should be less worried about testing others and more about testing yourself. Are you satisfied with yourself the way you are? You shouldn't be." She turns torwards the dorms. "I am going to go back to my room. Mirabelle, she is probably hungry from all her running around, and I need my rest as well. You would be wise to do the same, sister. You can never know what the next day will bring. You may find someone trying to kill you then, as well."
As Ninon gives up, she's right, it's hopeless. UTTERLY HOPELESS. Give up all hope, those who enter here! "Oh .. Mignon thinks they said Mignon was special and they didn't like her! But that she gave it her all so they didn't kill her but they wanted her to return when stronger but Mignon didn't listen and chased him off before being hurt... so Mignon is kind of lucky, yeah!" She's smiling alright. And duh, Ninon might be stronger, but Mignon has the heart!
.. Of something. And as she responds about testing herself, Mignon blinks. "Welll .. Mignon is happy the way she is, mhhmmm, Mignon never ever ever ever thinks she needs to change! ... Oh.. Going so soon siissyyy? Well I love youuuuu. Okay, buhbye! Remember to get in before the bed time!"
She smiles wide. "Oooooh ..... Maybe I should! Good idea Ninon!"
Of course the heart means nothing if its removed and bleeding on the ground!
"Never going to change, hmm? How...dreadful." Not that Ninon would expect her sister to suddenly decide to stop acting like herself. It would take something major to change a person's personality so. The same could be said for Ninon. She is not suddenly going to become a cheerful, happy person solely because Mignon acts as if she were entirely made of sugar.
It looks as if Ninon is simply going to walk away without another word, but before she gets too far away, she stops and stands silently. For a moment, she thinks about showing some small form of gratitude. She would give it to someone else who'd gone out of their way to help her, even if it would be watered down so as to avoid seeming as if she had decided to suddenly become her sister. But when she speaks, it is something else entirely that comes out of her mouth. "Good evening, sister." For once she doesn't sound as if she is trying to be cruel to her sibling, though her tone is neutral at best.
