Description: Mignon is a super-duper heroine, fighting the gangs of Bobo in Metro City! But while on the prowl as her SECRET IDENTITY, she finds a VILLAINOUS FIGURE by the billboard. Munin may not THINK she is a villain, but Mignon has super special secret witch powers to sense when there is good or evil! Mignon fights to stop the evil, no matter how tough it gets!
It is Evening in Metro city. The streets, sadly, are much emptier than normal due to the hightened gang problem. Still, there are signs of life. Cars move through the streets, people walk up and down the sidewalks in small groups. The police presence seems slightly more moderate for the moment, and generally there is a sense of peace for the time being.
This is all taken in from above on a rooftop, as a lone figure sits under a large neon bilboard. Munin has only recently come to the city, taking in the sights from the odd angles most people don't use. Lately, she's been keeping her eyes open for wherever she may be able to assist, but so far, the night has been uneventful, and so she's found refuge here to relax for awhile.
Leaning back against the base of the sign, she pulls out her tin whistle, and begins to gently play an irish jig.
A lone figure only barely cast the light.
Munin, even if she happened to be dumb, deaf, and blind right now, could sense the presence coming. A presence revealed by the loud slam of the rooftop entrance. A presence highlighted by the gasping of a long climb up the stairs. A presence now almost upon the billboard as the ladder rattles noisily.
A presence of endless SQUEAKING.
"HUFF! HUFF!" Was the gasping as a young woman finally pulls herself to the edge of the billboard. She was purely pink, in this evening light. Pink clothing, pink hair, and a pair of pink eyes hiding behind a pink lucha mask. Studded with rhinestones and with vinyl whiskers plasted on, the young lady gasps in exhaustion, having finally rushed up the building all the way to the very top in blazing time. Struggling to pull herself over the edge, she seems to be having trouble finally. Not that her spirit would show it, as she throws a finger pointed right at Munin.
"Halt right there *wheeze* baddie!"
Munin keeps playing, seemingly heedless of the incoming encounter. At least, that is, until she's called a 'baddie'.
Her tune abruptly stops, and her blinking is almost audible.
Lowering the flute, she eyes this strange looking person with defensive inquisition for a few moments before responding.
"Is it a crime to play a whistle on a rooftop nowadays? I was unaware..... " she raises an eyebrow, and her eyes flash briefly with dim purple light "if it isn't, then i would ask what proof you have of me being responsible for something immortal or otherwise illegal". For the moment, she remains seated, whistle in hand, during this exchange thus far.
Mignon finally pulls herself up.
Laying flat on her belly under the billboard, she just continues to breath heavily. "Wowwie wow! That was tough! But Mign- Oh! I mean." Mignon corrects herself, adjusting her mask a bit as she starts to sit up. "I mean La Tierna! I am La Tierna! Heroine of Metro City! ANd I am here to stop violence and crime and evil!"
"And you are suspicious!"
Mignon points another figure at Munin. "Only villains would hide up on the rooftops playing terrible music like that! Mig- La Tierna has never heard such evil and sinister music! As Mr. Dora has told Mign- La Tierna, I must stop all the evil crime in Metro City! And you are a criminal because..." Mignon pauses, thinking for a moment.
"... Did you steal that whistle?"
Blink? Act 2.
Munin can't help but smirk. The girl IS trying.... just failing patheticly, almost. "It's actually an old Irish folk song called 'Toss the Feathers'. Look it up". She idly spins it between her fingers like a miniature baton. She then holds it up, so Mignon can take a good look at it.
On close inspection, this thing has seen some years, though is still well within playable condition.
"Why would i steal an old irish whistle, which would be lucky to be sold for a dollar, let alone more? No, i've carried it for years. Your thief is in another castle".
She then tilts her head "So, 'La Tierna', tell me precisely what makes sitting quietly by myself on a rooftop indicitive of evil intention and or action?"
"Mignnnnnnnnnlaaaaa Tierna does not CARE if it is an old Irish song!"
Mignon gives a stomp of her foot on the mesh metal walkway under the billboard. A loud clang is only quieted by the louder squeak. "You are not in a castle! And you are just trying to trick me! I am too smart! So do not go trying to trick La Tierna!" Suddenly, she puffs out her chest.
"Hah! I remembered not to say Mignon!"
Suddenly, though it is not obvious because of the mask, she turns bright red. "I mean La Tierna! I mean I didn't say Mignon! I mean I am La Tierna!" She blurts out. "Do not tell anyone about my very secret identify! Mignon is a masked heroine!" Mignon suddenly gasps. "But you are a villain! Or very likely one! Because everyone knows that the evil villain waits on top of a rooftop to gaze evilly at the good witch heroine! But Mignon is smart! She ran up here to cut you off so she can fight you and capture you, and help stop Bobo and his gangs!"
Mignon pauses for a moment.
"I MEAN LA TIERNA!"
(hhhmmm....) Munin ponders this response. (She has little to no grasp of sarcasm or irony, and the media references went completely over her head....).
She smirks a bit as Mignon goes into her long explination "Oh, no worries. Your secret is safe with me". She scoffs "Abobo? Sorry, i'm not part of any of that. Though i wonder..... Batman watches from rooftops gazing over Gotham city. Spiderman can be found on buildings watching from above. SO does Spawn. Sometimes so does Raven. Are you saying their all villains, as it were, simply because they use the same tactics?".
She slides her whistle into her pack, just in case.....
"Batman?"
Mignon cocks her head aside, much like a confused puppy. "Batman... you mean like DRACULA!?" She suddenly shouts. "Oh no! And SPIDERMAN!? Like.... DRACULA!? EEEEEEW" She was cringing. "And Ravens are terrible! They are scary birds! Oh no, you ARE a bad person! And giving an evil person speech, saying a bunch of horrible icky animal people! Oh, EW EW EW!"
Mignon was practically SCRAPING off the yucky feelings.
Shaking his fists, she takes a step towards Munin with a SQUEAK. "By the WITCHLY POWERS given to me by my grandmama, I! La Tierna! Will go and capture you for the benefit of all that is good and just in the world, to make the world a much safer place!"
"... Please?"
Blink? Act 3.
Munin actually starts to slowly smile as Mignon goes on her rant.... and by the end, she breaks out laughing!
It takes her a second to catch herself, narrow, humor filled eyes glowing again for a moment. She makes a mental note of the 'witchly powers' remark for later. "You really don't know anything about comic book characters, yet you want to emulate them?". She pulls herself to her feet, and walks over to Mignon "Sorry 'La Tieirna', but i've done nothing wrong".
As she gets close, she folds her arms across her chest, one eyebrow raised "Just think, while you've been up here bothering me, how many gang members are more than likely doing who knows what to the innocents below? Yet here you are, wasting time with my whistle playing". She tilts her head slightly "Not the mark of a very good crime fighter....."
She was LAUGHING?
Mignon was TREMBLING with anger now. And she was being so nice. Stomping her feet, the squeaking returning in full force. Ignoring Mignon was one thing. Even teasing her was another. But openly making fun of her? By LAUGHING at her? That was the last straw. As she walks close to Mignon, she finally loses it, flinging her arms spastically in the air as she just SHOUTS DEEPLY!
"OOOOOH! HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MIGNON!"
Mignon had seemed to drop the cunning disguise as she just loses her temper. "Now Mignon really means it! Mignon is going to make you regret making fun of her! Oooooooh! Mignon will teach you a lesson! With her... KITTY FU! NYU!" Mignon throws up her guard, revealing that, for all her ignornance, she was in fact SOMEWHAT trained martially. But she was VERY ANGRY right now.
Who knows what this loose cannon would do!?
(Hhmm? Interesting....)
Munin remains standing there, smirking, as Mignon puts her guard up, noting that the pink wonder DOES have ability despite her whimsical look "I didn't make fun of you. I found your lack of knowledge concerning the nature of your chosen 'super hero profession' amusing".
She slowly moves into a relaxed, balanced position with her legs, just in case ".... so what kind of super hero threatens to attack someone who may or may not be able to fight back? Hhmm.... ? Also, don't heroes wait for the vilain to throw the first attack? Seeing as i'm not attacking you, that makes YOU the villain, i would think, roaming the rooftops and attacking any innocent bystandards that may be up there".
Yes, she is fucking with Mignon. Simply cause this is too amusing.
"YOU ARE JUST MESSING WITH MIGNON!"
Mignon was at the end of her rope. "MIGNON IS A VERY GOOD HEROINE! AND MIGNON WAS SO POLITE IN LETTING YOU GO FIRST!" Stamping in a circle, every squeak is only more and more furious. Face now beet red under the mask she was utterly livid. "MIGNON IS SO UPSET, SHE CAN'T EVEN SEE STRAIGHT. MIGNON IS SO MAD, SHE.... SHE....'
And finally, the unthinkable happens.
Mignon suddenly charges Munin, head first. Thrusting with her forehead, she was not striking Munin, no. She was actually trying to shove her over. Pushing with her head again and again, she was trying to bowl her over, to send her to the ground with a great push of her head;
With a Buttling.

The attack was likely. Munin was ready for that.
What he did NOT expect was Mignon to stop on getting head contact, and push. When Munin flicks her sword into her hand, she is prepared for more momentum.
Sadly, this throws her off just long enough to not realize it, and backwards she goes. She DOES manage to stay on her feet, however, and not fall off the ledge alongside the sign to the roof below.
(This should be interesting..... ) she thinks to herself as she hops up quickly, weapon held at the ready.
Mignon was a lot tougher than she looked!
Shoving Munin hard down to the ground, she seems to me moving with shocking speed and, more importantly, shocking vigor. "YAH! Take THAT NYU!" She mewls. Every step was enhanced with loud squeaking. SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK was her approach, heralding the arrival of the perky girl. But she was a witch. Where were the witchly powers-
Oh.
Raising a hand in the air, she suddenly begins to channel chi. A gust of air suddenly fills the rooftop, blowing through. Centered in front of her, the wind begin to chop and ebb, building to incredible speeds. Attempting to blast Munin right off the ad... and right to the roof top itself!
"DIVINE WIND SPIRIT!"
COMBATSYS: Munin blocks Mignon's Windstorm.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////// ]
Mignon 0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0 Munin
Without missing a beat, Munin plants her sword into the ad sign, anchoring herself, while raising the other arm to protect her face and body from any flying debris.
As the wind ebs, she pushes off with her legs, pulling the weapon out of the ad and flipping it "Nice try!". She feigns a stab, hoping to make the girl watch the sword, while grabbing at her with the free hand, attempting to flip her off the advertisment instead!
COMBATSYS: Munin successfully hits Mignon with Medium Throw.

Mignon 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Munin
"WHU-WHU-WHOOOA!"
That was the cry as the windstorm dies down. Munin, moving with the speed of a true warrior, pounces on poor Mignon. She was still looking at the sword, of course, as she is suddenly and swiftly hurled right off the billboard.
"OH NOOOOO!"
Landing right on her bottom, Mignon whines loudly. "OWIE OW OW! Mignon's bottom is SORE! Oh no!" She whimpers. Slowly, she rises back up, glancing back up at the troublesome girl. "You big mean bully! Mignon is going to make you so sorry!" Raising a finger up in the air, it begins to spark with fiery energy. Building to a ball of flame, she aims it right at Munin like a gun. Aiming it CAREFULLY. "GRANDMAMA GIVE MIGNON STRENGTH!" Blasting it away, she attempts to hit it right into Munin... or into the billboard behind her.
"FIREBALL!"
COMBATSYS: Munin overcomes Fire Ball from Mignon with Shadow Wave.
- Power hit! -
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
Mignon 0/-------/-----==|===----\-------\0 Munin
%Wao! A fireball!? Likely chi, but Munin doesn't want to take any chances, and with the narrow ledge, she will almost surely fall!
Her sword glows with deeper violet chi, and with a swing, a wave of chi is sent towards Mignon, plowing through her fireball and continuing towards her!
Munin tries to take full advantage of this, running to the ladder and sliding down, hopefully before Mignon can recover from whatever effect the attack may have!
COMBATSYS: Mignon fails to reflect Shadow Wave from Munin with Water Shield.

Mignon 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Munin
OH NO SHE WAS BREAKING HER FIREBALL
"GRANDMAMA NOOOOOO!" Was the cry as Munin hurls back the dark energy, blasting it towards Mignon. The girl stands there, looking blankly... until finally, she reacts. "MIGNON REMEMBERS!" Throwing a hand in the air, she begins to chant the magical incantation. "Mignon calls upon the magical powers! DIVINE WATER-"
And she is knocked to the ground by the blast.
"OWIE OW OW OWWWWWWW!!!"
Sliding down the railing, Munin turns at the sounds of pain. She kinda feels sorry for the kid. She means well....
She's just painfully misguided.
She casually walks over, weapon ready, but holding off on attacking "Well? Stop this now? Or you wanna push it? You DID throw the first punch, after all....."
COMBATSYS: Munin takes no action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
Mignon 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Munin
"No!"
That was the cry as Mignon rises up. Dusting off her bottom, she adjusts her clothing. "NO NO NO!" She continues. "Mignon has a SACRED DUTY to FIGHT for TRUTH and JUSTICE! Mignon will not let a meanie butt like you make her angry and sad!" She exclaims. Finally, she thrusts a finger into the air. Suddenly, sparkles begin to flow from her tip. Spinning it in the air, she begins to twirl in place. "MIGNON..... MAGICAL....." The Sparkles finally fall upon her body, beginning to fill her with magical energy.
"HEAAAAALING!"
Oh boy..... healing.
Can't have THAT now, can we? Without another word, Munin moves in, splitting into two copies of herself! One comes from the high left, the other from the middle right! Her eyes also begin to glow steadily as she moves.
No more freebies for this one.
COMBATSYS: Mignon blocks Munin's Intercepting Strike.

Oh no, now there were TWO of her!?
Mignon was staring blankly as Munin splits in twain, and starts charging her from TWO different angles. "OH NO!" Mignon exclaims. "MIGNON is in LOTS and a LOTS of trouble!" She spiels. As the magical sparkles begin to cascade over her, she finally, desperately picks the middle one as the real one. Throwing her arms up, she curls up tightly.
And chooses the correct one.
The other illusion fades, as Munin, opening her eyes again, begins to flinch. "THAT REALLY HURTS! OW OW OW!" She exclaims. Glaring furiously at her, Munin begins to rush back at her. "Mignon will knock you down and pull your hair!" She shouts. And should she very well knock Munin down with that clumsy stumble...
She would in fact pull her hair!"
COMBATSYS: Mignon successfully hits Munin with Awkward Tackle.

This is..... definately not something Munin has ever expected, nor experienced. Well, at least, not in this particularly unusual way.
She stops as shes block to calculated her next attack when Mignon suddenly knocks her over! Before she can stand up, YANK! "OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!".
She breaks free, using her sword to actually cut her own hair near the ends where Mignon is holding it. Turning around, she's GLARING angrily "You little bitch.....".
With a vicious swing, she aims for Mignons neck with the edge of the blade!

Mignon had not only fallen into Munin, but was now pulling her hair with renewed energy. Squeaking and pulling, pulling and squeaking. "Hah hah! Mignon is showing you who is the boss with her KITTY STYLE!" Finally, she pulls so hard... that she goes falling back when Munin finally cuts it. Looking at her with wide eyes, she has only one response to her terrible, terrible language.
"WHAT NAUGHTY LANGUAGE!"
Mignon was suddenly grabbing her neck. "OH NO! MIGNON IS NOW BLEEDING!" Blood was flowing freely from her neck, the gash cutting her fairly dangerously. Stumbling off of Munin, she was suddenly whimpering... and crying. "BWAAAA! BWAAAA! BWAAAAA!" Was the long sobs. "Mignon is hurt and she is tired and you are STILL A MEANIE BUTT!" She says. Woozy on her feet, she rockets up, blooding rolling right on her front. "Mignon will teach you a REAL LESSON!" She declares as she bursts forward. Ducking low, she will attempting to catch Munin, and with stunning agility, simply try to hurl her up in the air.. while blurting out numbers with no real sense of rhythm or timing.
"ONE TWO THREE!"
COMBATSYS: Munin endures Mignon's Pony Throw.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Mignon 1/------=/=======|=======\=------\1 Munin
Munin stops herself suddenly as her temper flares. That strike was too much, and potentially crossing the line. She doesn't verbally respond to Mignons banter or commentary as she stops to take in the effects, and hope the sword didn't do TOO much damage....
She is once again suprised as Mignon moves with such speed, despite a slit throat. She can't dodge in time, and is THROWN into the air! (I can use this.....) is her first thought, and as she comes down, she brings her fist down hard, using all the gravity from the fall to try to add to the impact.
This doesn't mean that the landing doesn't hurt like heck, however!
COMBATSYS: Mignon blocks Munin's Power Strike.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Mignon 1/----===/=======|=======\=------\1 Munin
Mignon was still bleeding out!
Hopefully Mignon would not DIE! Mignon really was bleeding though. As she launches Munin straight up, she spins around a bit. "Wowwie Wow! Mignon is actually doing it!" The young woman states proudly, throwing her arms in the air. But as she comes back down, she was coming back with a FIST! The punch was fortunately caught by her idle, celebrating hands.
"Yaaaay- huh?"
Catching Munin partially, she winces. Arms really sore, she finally lets Munin down. Standing tall, she looks at Munin. "You are a real meanie butt for cutting Mignon's throat! But Mignon will use her ultimate of magical powers!" Holding out her hands before her, she begins to cry out. "Grandmama! Lend me your strength! And give Mignon a tool with which she can finally get back"
And suddenly a bomb falls out of the sky into Mignon's arms.
Mignon stares at the bomb in her hands.
"BOMB!"
"BOOOOOOOOMB!!!"
Mignon was screaming now. Running around in circles, she had a LIT BOMB in her arms. *SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK* Was the sound of every step."HELP HELP MIGNON HAS A BOMB HEEEEELP HEEEELP!" Was the scream. Finally, she stops in front of Munin, jogging in place. SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK. "YOU! TAKE IT!" And promptly, Mignon throws the bomb at Munin, before running away screaming.
"AAAAAAAAAAA-"
*KABOOM*
COMBATSYS: Mignon successfully hits Munin with Heartful Present.

Blink?!? Act.... something. Munin has lost count.
She sees the bomb, and stops for precious seconds contemplating which way to move to try to dodge, when it goes off, enveloping her in the blast!
With what strength she has left, she moves, hoping it may be enough.....
COMBATSYS: Munin can no longer fight.

Using the explosions lingering flaring as cover, throwing herself forwards, and around Mignon. With the last of her strength, she drives her fist, and her sword into the poor girls lower back!
Mignon covers her ears, as the bomb does KABOOM!
And then, there is silence. "Wowwie Wow wow! That was a close one!" Mignon announces, chest puffed out heroically. "And now! Mignon has saved the day by beating that meanie butt! Now Mignon does... huh. What is Mignon supposed to do when she beats a villain? Mignon has never gotten so far-"
Suddenly she has a sword in her back.
"OH NO! MIGNON HAS BEEN STABBED! NOOOOOO!" Was the scream. Falling to her knees, she grips her throat, and her torso. "URK! GACK! OH NO! THIS IS THE END OF MIGNON!? MIGNON IS DYING AND IT IS SAD! MIGNON NEVER TOLD HER BABY SISTER THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICER TO MIGNON!" And then, Mignon collapses, passing out upon the ground. W... Was she really dead?
And suddenly, loud snores are heard from upon the rooftop, Mignon having fallen asleep
COMBATSYS: Mignon takes no action.
COMBATSYS: Mignon can no longer fight.
The strike successful, Munins sword clatters to the ground, and she falls to her knees, then prone, losing consciousness.
This proves to only be brief, as several minutes later she comes to with a near-panic.
She eyes the sleeping Mignon slowly, as her memory kicks in.
That strike to the throat was nasty.
Pulling herself painfully up, Munin limps to retrieve her sword. That stashed, she pulls out a small roll of gauze she has been keeping, swiped from the hospital after her stay due to Vegas inflicted injuries, juuuust in case. For large gaping wounds, it wouldn't be enough, but the slice is localized enough to at least bandage up while the misguided girl sleeps.
Once Munin is sure the bleeding has stopped as much as possible, she stands, and without a word or look back limps off.
She wants to be long gone before Mignon wakes up.
