Description

❝I'm not crazy.. my reality is just different than yours.❞



Image



Birth Name:
Colette was her birth name. However, her legal name is Midna Silvera
Nickname/Alias:
Many but the most popular: Puppet Master, Shadow Queen, China-doll etc
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Height:
A petite 4'11
Weight:
78 lbs
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Physical Description:
If someone was filling a blank canvas of vibrant hues, all shades of the rainbow, but had accidentally, right in the middle of their artwork, created a black smear, then that smear would mar and taint the work. On the face of society, much like that ruined piece of art, is also a smear, a flaw, an imperfection. That smear is known as Midna Silvera. Throughout her whole 16 years on this planet, Midna has always been quite noticeable. Whether it be in appearance or academics, personality or power, family or fortune.. orphanage or home, she never seemed to quite blend in with the "normal" crowd. Though.. one look and many see the reasons why. Reaching a petite height of 4 foot 11, Midna is far shorter than most of, or near, her age.."doll-sized" as her height is branded. From the back perspective; Midna's appearance looks to be beautifully similar to that of an Oriental China-doll; a delicate silhouette outlined with a cascading, low-back reaching waterfall of an ebony-hue that, when caught in the sunlight in the most perfect of ways, shines with a brilliant eggplant tint. However, when facing forwards is when one glimpses her true beauty.

The stark bangs have been styled, rather bluntly, to lay straight across her small forehead. With the longest bit barely brushing above her eyes, an air of constant maintenance radiates off Midna as clear as heat rising from asphalt during the days of summer. Moving onto her facial features, Midna is your stero-typical doll-esque luminous pale, not a single blemish or rash pigmentation, save for the opaque rosy blush gracing her cheeks, marring the porcelain surface. However, the tone is paled to an alabaster due to the stark contrast those midnight frames provide. Overall, every last detail on Midna's face holds remarkable similarities to that of a doll: flawless, delicate and inhumanely perfect. However, there is one distinguishing feature that sets Midna out from others of Oriental descent; her pair of large doe eyes. Framed by a thick curtain of dark lashes, Midna's eyes are mesmerizing in their varying shades bright crimson...it's almost as if someone had placed droplets of their own blood on those orbs to provide color to them. Almost always, they seem to be unblinking.. staring into your soul and right through your facade. Often described by those who has made the misfortune of locking gazes with this embodiment of a doll, they are frighteningly entrancing. Coupled with high cheek bones, a delicate jaw-line, a petal-pink mouth, and perfectly shaped eyebrows; Midna holds an ethereal and captivating appearance.

On the note of her form, Midna possesses a rather fragile yet tempting shape. It, just as her facial features, mimics a china doll's body perfectly; equal proportions and flawless curves. The shoulders are slim, not too wide yet, at the same time, not too narrow, the neck of sloping beauty and grace. The bust is of satisfying voluptuousness, not too large for her form, and is harmoniously paired with a nipped and delicate waist. Overall, Midna's body is one of sensual feminine pull that often attracts those of the opposite gender.. however, keeping dignity in mind, she does't allow for herself to flaunt.
Scars/Tattoos/Piercings/Etc:
Midna has, not surprisingly, many Alice Limitations in order to help her remain at a "safe" and "functional" level. The most noticeable restraints that have been bestowed upon her are as follows: an onyx colored cuff on her right ear (much like Natsume's) that has flecks of blood red, a simple silver necklace with blood red pendant in the form of a teardrop, two black cartilage studs on her left ear and a simple black "collar" on her left wrist.

Joined:
Relatively new, Midna has been at Alice Academy for about a week and a half.
Role:
Student
Division:
High school

Alice:
Shadow transformation and manipulation
Class:
Dangerous Type
Alice Form:
Limited
Star Ranking:
Triple
Alice Abilities:
  • Shadow Manipulation: The summoning, creation, manipulation and command of beings made from manifested shadows/darkness. Using these creatures that take any form Midna wishes (be it an animal or a weapon), she can cause physical damage to her enemies.
  • Shadow Barrier: Similar to Shadow Manipulation, Midna uses this power when she wants to create a shell or barrier around herself or her team mates. This ability, one of her more helpful and non-destructive, can withstand most attacks. Only those with strong alices (be it light-based or not) can cause it to fall.
  • Shadow Dim: The ability to control the intensity of the absence of light around her and her shadows.
  • Shadow Eyes: The power to experience whatever her creations experience through their own eyes.
  • Shadow Phasing: This ability, perhaps the one that provides an everyday use, allows for Midna to pass 'teleport' through shadows. How do you think she gets to class on time everyday, despite waking up later than everyone else? Of course, she can not teleport outside of the school grounds.. she has her Alice Limitations to thank for that.
  • Shadow Takeover: By far, this is Midna's most frightening ability. When activated, she enters a different form than that of her human state; a body made of complete manifested darkness. Of course, this means that her real body is actually put into a coma-esque trance. When in Shadow Take-over, her new state is not one of physical manifestation (nor aging) and will stay that way.. unless her true body is being damaged or killed. No one truly knows the full potential of this particular ability..seeing as the ones who have seen it were murdered (before she was bestowed with the Alice Limitations). But one thing is for certain...she doesn't have as many Alice Limitations as she does for fun.
Preferred Weapons:
  • Her alice, obviously.
  • The quick mind and sharp tongue she possesses.
  • A rather sharp-bladed katana that was given to her by the Silvera Mafia family before she was taken away to the academy. Midna keeps it hidden in her room for apparent reasons.. Upon receiving it, the shadow-ess immediately modified it so that she could channel her powers onto the blade.

Talents:
  • Extreme Agility: Over many years of fighting and leaping from building tops, Midna has built up rather extreme agility and flexibility.
  • High Stamina: Going hand in hand with her agility training, Midna has also learned how to conserve her energy to the highest form possible.
  • Eidetic Memory: Possessing a selective photographic memory, Midna can scan over blocks of texts then recite them.. that's how she also earns extremely high marks on her school work.
  • Detecting Lies: Going back to her Mafia roots, Midna was trained to be able to pick out a liar from the crowd.
  • Multilingual: When your family has connections in several different countries, you learn how to speak those languages. Primarily, Midna can speak both US and UK English, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, some Spanish, German and some Russian.
Quirks:
  • Doesn't speak in class so no one, besides her Teachers, know how smart she truly is nor how mentally disturbed Midna is.
  • Likes to keep her power hidden from others (the Alice Limitations help with that).
  • Doesn't work with others.. and if she does, she always seems to scare them off.
  • Likes to keep her feelings bottled up.
  • Often daydreams or over analyzes situations.
  • When angered, Midna is quite rash.
Secrets:
  • She's adopted by the Silvera Mafia.
  • She's killed others before entering the academy.
  • Midna willingly enrolled into the academy to prevent a war between A.A and her Mafia family.
  • Despite her doll-esque appearance, Midna's mindset is more than unstable.
Wishes/Dreams:
  • To escape Alice Academy one day.
  • Midna wishes to successfully succeed her step-father's place as the Godfather.
  • To be able to use her power freely once more.




Image



Personality:
Midna has never really been able to interact with other humans adequately nor has the urge to come her way. The lifestyle that was created by her new "family" taught her how to become anti-social, to shun the outsiders, and how large the cruciality in the refusal to convey emotions truly is.. after all, it was essential for her survival.

At the first glance, the word most people might use to describe Midna is “odd.” No, she's not your perky, constantly happy girl that Mitsuki appears to come off as but is more of the withdrawn into her own mind, analytical type of female. Because of this, very few people actually know how to (or want to) talk and captivate Midna's attention with very few actually succeeding. Coupled with an intimidating aura, a frightening Alice, a Special Star and the label as a "Dangerous Ability", it's no wonder why "normals" are terrified of the raven-haired female. They just don't approach her, it's as simple as that.

Generally speaking, Midna is a very calm, solemn-looking individual with a distant, almost crazed, look gleaming in her eyes..but that’s not to say that she’s unfriendly (to her comrades that is). Sure, she may be plotting someone's demise or imagining a scenario that would curdle most's stomachs, but even she is friendly (at times)! Unlike most reserved people, Midna doesn't fully mind the other Dangerous Ability members.. in fact, she'll even try getting to know them for their mind and not their looks. Unfortunately, while she does manage to hold a conversation, Midna is usually fairly awkward to speak with. Unless the other party excels with their words, chances are there will be more than one uncomfortable pause or an abrupt subject change.

Another interesting point about Midna is that she tends to suddenly flip personalities on whim. Especially when angered or prodded by someone else's stupidity (yes, this includes the Teachers). Her mindset is quite the ambiguous one; for the most part she is a blunt, observant and withdrawn female...but this is all quickly masked and forgotten by others when they see her darker side. *when they say, Come to the dark side, this DOES NOT apply to Midna* The personality of her flip is that of a ruthless, merciless and calculating psychopath who has little, if any, problem in using others for her goals or for pawns. Without a shred of hesitation, Midna will resort to using her powers to end another's life.. in fact, she much enjoys the rush it provides.

On the note of her intelligence, she may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less informed, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge of the world and how she was treated as a child. When it comes to her own areas of expertise -- and trust me, Midna has several -- she will be able to tell you almost immediately everything about that certain topic, to the extent of being ridiculously precise. Yet, despite this fountain of knowledge in her, she knows this important rule; She knows what she knows, and more importantly, she knows what she doesn't know

Bio:
Even as a child, Midna was pretty... abnormal. Well.. that's to be expected of Alice users, but even then. Everything from her looks to her personality, to the power she possessed screamed for wariness and guarded trust to be place in her. Anyways, the household Midna's fate led her to was rather violent.. what else could you expect when your "father" is the head of one of the largest Italian mafias in existence? However, lets go even further back, shall we?


Colette was born into the world by two non-Alices, by two normal people. Unfortunately, Colette’s real mother passed on a few hours after giving birth to their ‘bundle of joy’. Even so, before she was due, the poor woman had extreme complications with her pregnancy.. complications that surpassed anyone's expectations. Of course, this more likely than not could have been caused by the infant's abnormality, by the possession of her Alice. Thankfully, a healthy baby girl was brought forth into this world on, perhaps, one of the oddest days; the winter solstice (December 21).

Colette's birth-father was beside himself, consumed by grief at the loss of his dear wife. Soon enough, his laments turned into ones of hateful spite, of self-pity.. Then finally, one night after Colette was fast asleep, he had decided, as punishment for his daughter's taboo existence, to disconnect himself from the world. When little Colette, only 4 years of age, woke up, she found a gruesome sight. This death was the first of many that would occur within the her twisted future.


Growing up in the orphanage, a chaotic and bustling environment, Colette never quite fit in with the other children. She always off in a corner, consumed by her own thoughts, the need for human comfort never really making it's presence known. But, deep down, there was another reason why this raven-haired girl never interacted with others; she held powers beyond mortal imagination. And, while the other children and workers couldn't place it, people feared this sullen child. Of course, this fear was not only due to her unnatural looks but to the intimidating aura, an aura that screamed danger to a normal person, that radiated off her very being.

The first 10 years of Colette's life was actually spent hidden in the sea of children, in the orphanage. Together, yet separated. However, her time there far surpassed the normal expectancy.. it appeared no one would dare adopt the child that seemed to be cursed. But then it happened, an event that would forever alter the course of her life. One day, as the 10 year old girl was wandering about in an idle manner in the streets, she had accidentally collided into a mountain of a man. Terrified at his rough appearance and the outrage that made his voice quiver, the Alice's powers suddenly activated. From the shadows, a snarling beast, the eyes a red-hot glow, sprung up in front of it's master. In his terror, the man fell to his knees as the creature vanished, leaving enough time for Colette to run.


Intrigued and horrified by what happened, the shaken underling returned to the GodFather to explain what happened. As goes without saying, the Leader of the Silvera Mafia felt curiosity overwhelm himself. Deciding rather quickly, this GodFather sent three of his men back to the orphanage with the demand to find the supernatural girl.

Of course, the workers tried to hastily explain that Colette was "different" and "not quite right".. and of course, the mafia minions refused to listen. After all, it was their Boss's direct orders to retrieve the girl. As soon as they came, they left.. with Colette legally under their charge. Of course, the shadow manipulator was quite wary of the strangers but.. a shred of her still felt exalted at the thought of someone wanting her.


Skipping forward through the span of 5 years, Colette was renamed, "Midna", and was respected as the GodFather's daughter. By this time, they already figured out her she was an Alice, that the Japanese Alice Academy would come searching for her.. but they refused to give in. It was also at this time that Midna first began to go on "missions" (she was well-protected of course). By the age of 15, the young teenager had dirtied her hands in killing several men with her Alice, as well as inflicting serious injuries.. she was far from being pure.

Unfortunately, a few days before she turned 16, the unspoken fear had transformed into a reality; A.A finally found Midna. Sensing the mafia that she loved so dearly wasn't going to give her up without a fight, Midna willingly enrolled into A.A. It was there, within a week, that Midna received a "Triple Star" and a slot in the "Dangerous Ability" class.
Thoughts on the Academy:
She hates the Academy but is also curious about it.

#, as written by Layla


“Welcome to Alice Academy!” a deafening voice exploded through the speakers of the crowded assembly hall. A boy with a spirit-seeing Alice chuckled as the spirits of students and staff alike leapt from their skins at the sudden shattering of their eardrums and the sight of... “I’m Mitsuki Hisakawa, Student Body President and your host for today.”

Students and staff members had been trapped in that assembly hall for the past three hours, listening to introductions of new students, briefings, announcements, rules, subjects, uniforms and speeches. Most notable of the speeches included the junior school principle’s, which droned on for 56 minutes and 22 seconds regarding his pet serpent’s favourite times of the day. Most of the audience had fallen into a deep sleep only to be jarred into wakefulness by bag pipes announcing the arrival of the President of the Student Council.

“Mommy!!!” wailed a small child from the elementary school. He received a glance from the self-proclaimed host on the stage and he very literally seemed to turn grey. His jaw touched the top of his chest and he swayed like a paper bag in a rainstorm as he sat rooted to his seat.

“Listen up, kid,” Mitsuki said slowly, clutching the stage podium. “Your mama’s swimming in a sea of gold right now and you’re probably never going to see her again. Suck it up or I’ll suck you up into a big, black whole of oblivion. Unless you’d rather be my roommate, of course,” she added with a baring of teeth that might’ve been a feral snarl or a grin.

The stage podium turned to ashes.

Mitsuki laughed.

“Haha, these stage props sure are fragile, huh? Wood these days!” The audience laughed nervously.

“Moving on. Welcome back, oldies, and newbies, welcome to the next decade of your life stuck with me if you don’t follow the rules,” she chirped, her wavy snow blue hair bouncing merrily on her shoulders. “Seeing as I’d rather be contemplating the meaning of life under running water, we’ll skip the formalities, alright?” she declared.

“First up’s the annual Search and Conquer tournament!” Dramatic bagpipes drum rolled. There was a mass intake of breath from the older students. “That’s right, kids! It’s the annual 71st Hunger Games!” Mitsuki clapped loudly before returning to standing on her toes to reach the microphone. “No, seriously. Stop acting like I’m sacrificing you to the Fertility God. Woooo, excitement!”

She grunted and snatched the microphone from the stand. They needed shorter microphone stands. “I said excitement.”

A roaring cheer followed the initial splatter of applause.

“For those of you who’ve yet to experience the joy of Search and Conquer, let me explain to you what it is.” She beamed supportively, rolling her weight onto the heels of her booted feet and then to her toes, and back, and forth, and back. Her eyes darted left and right. Man, she needed a sugar hit.

“14 students will be randomly chosen and given individual flags they must keep on their persons. They will be sent to the Northern Woods.” Suddenly, the interior of the assembly hall transformed into that of the menacing outdoors. The crooked fingers of the trees loomed over the audience, threatening to engulf them. Students from the technical abilities class panted as they spun and tapped at the mechanisms maintaining the illusion.

“The” – she grinned – “’volunteers,’ will be scattered throughout the woods during noon and in the woods they will remain until sunrise. The game involves stealing an individual’s flag. Those whose flags you steal will join your empire and you will be their Queen or King.” But who was she kidding, a woman would win this. “Anyone under their command, will also become your slaves. For example, Billy steals Dicky’s flag, Billy becomes Dicky’s king. Lily steals Billy’s flag, and becomes Billy and Dicky’s queen. If Dicky steals Momo’s flag, Lily also becomes Momo’s Queen.

“The person who manages to survive unclaimed until sunrise wins a prize, as does the person with the largest empire. The prize?” Mitsuki’s pale aquamarine eyes darkened with glee. “The former, 1000 rabbits” – there was a collective gasp, that was even more than Special Stars received – “and the latter, a one day ticket outside.”

Silence drenched the student body just as the illusions made by the technical abilities class evaporated, the assembly hall shimmering into focus.

“Now for the rules of the game!” she announced, her aura leaping into a fluff of pink cotton.

“One: once a person has claimed another’s flag, you cannot claim their flag unless you’ve claimed the flags of the people they are ruling. Two: you cannot steal the flag of your own monarch. Three: killing or permanent injury of students – or teachers – is not allowed.” She tossed a glare at Midna Silvera, emphasising each word with venom.

“Fourth: you may not bring items – dangerous or otherwise – outside of what is given to you. Fifth: your flag must be tied around your wrist at all times. Losing your flag will result in removal from the game. Sixth: no communication is allowed with those beyond the Nothern Woods. Seventh: no teleportation or human locating Alices or any other similar Alice may be used.” Mitsuki’s gaze flicked over to the wings of the stage for a brief moment before returning to the student body. “This year, Nero Sceer, the Head of the Dangerous Abilities class will be overseeing the tournament. He may use lethal force and interfere with the events. He may aid the participants or act as an obstacle,” her voice dripped with disdain. “He will reinforce the rules to ensure the game is fair.”

Mitsuki beamed and clapped her hands together, bouncing just as a lanky man – or gigantic rabbit shaped like a man – appeared beside her. He bowed and lifted the tall hat from his head, holding it out before her.

“Now for the volunteers!” She dipped her hand into the hat and pulled out a bundle of lollies. She unwrapped them and stared, reading out the names before popping the candies in her mouth with fervour. “Sylvia Cauthon, Hiroki Seijun, Maya Shinozaki, Midna Silvera, Jules Carter, Kana Nishino, Lorelai Bay, Michel De Angelo Robutton, Feris Lilliand, Alexander Rammis, Azeal Rowens, Shino Terr, Naoya Watanabe and…” She narrowed her eyes at the sweet.

Mitsuki flipped the candy around, rubbing at it as if to ensure it was real.

She tasted the candy.

No, it couldn’t be.

“This is wrong,” she told the towering rabbit man. Her only reply was a disappearing bunny act as her useless assistant vanished in a puff of smoke. She opened her mouth, closed it, turned to the audience, and glared. “And Mitsuki Hisakawa.”

She turned away from the stage for a moment, her softly flowing pigtails twitching as she faced the back of the stage. The Alice limiting rings on her fingers flared, the gems flickering like embers in wood that was about to ignite. She exhaled and spun around, her usual smile already in place.

“Now for your gifts! For Sylvia Cauthon, a bottle of water.” The items would appear midair and fall into their laps. “For Hiroki Seijun, all seven books of the Harry Potter series. Alexander Rammis, a pineapple. Naoya Watanabe, a jelly fish lamp. Maya Shinozaki, inflatable earplugs. Midna Silvera, a detached showerhead. Jules Carter, chicken bones. Lorelai Bay, chinese tea leaves. Kana Nishino, a piece of nylon string. Michel Robutton, tarot cards. Feris Lilliand, a king sized mattress. Azeal Rowens, a bottle of salt and pepper. Shino Terr, a cup shaped like Pokemon. Mitsuki Hisakawa… Men’s underwear... 100% cotton."

“All Search and Conquer participants and Nero Sceer must report to the edge of the Northern Woods at 1147 hours to commence the tournament. Other students and staff may view live footage of the tournament in the dining hall or common room. Students may return to their respective rooms if they so desire,” she mumbled absentmindedly, her gaze drifting already to a realm no one else could see.

“By the way, I was serious about my request of cookie dough pop tarts in your welcoming letters. New students who fail to provide me with sugary goodness…” She paused, tilting her head in thought. “Will die.”

The assembly hall was filled with people, both old faces and new, so it was obviously going to be very loud. In this crowd it was very easy to get lost amongst them and have no one take notice of you. This is exactly what Jules Carter wanted. While the rest of the students were laughing loudly and climbing over the chairs, Jules sat patiently in her seat for the assembly to start. Her friends had gone off to the other corners of the room but she knew not to take it seriously, they always did that.

Her pale brown eyes crossed the room, silently searching for a certain somebody in the audience. After a few minutes of looking, she finally found her target. Michel Robutton was sitting at the back of the room, casually drawing candies and popping them in his mouth. She couldn’t help but giggle at the uniqueness of the scene. As he looked up from his sketchbook, Jules’ pulse quickened as she ducked behind her seat. ‘I hope he didn’t see me staring.’ She thought worriedly.

However, before she could sneak another glance, a loud and familiar voice filled the room. “Welcome to Alice Academy! I’m Mitsuki Hisakawa, Student Body President and your host for today.” The small girl smiled as her friend walked on the stage, her steps filled with the overwhelming confidence Jules hoped to gain one day. She laughed quietly to herself. ‘I hope she doesn’t fall down again like last year.’
A small boy began to cry for his mommy, prompting a very side remark from her friend. Jules’ sighed and buried her face in her hand. ‘C’mon Mitsuki, there was no reason to be mean.' Even though they were best friends, she still didn’t know why Mitsuki always had to say mean things. You catch more flies with honey then vinegar. The fact that Jules hadn’t even set a trap yet is beside the point. She pulled her hand from her face just in time to see the podium fall to ashes.

At the mention of Search and Conquer, she sank a little down into her chair. She’d never been picked to compete and she would like to keep it that way. God knows she wouldn’t stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning anyways and she might get hurt or worse. With a small flicker of fear, she awaited the participants of this year’s game.
“Sylvia Cauthon, Hiroki Seijun, Maya Shinozaki, Midna Silvera, Jules Carter, Kana Nishino, Lorelai Bay, Michel De Angelo Robutton, Feris Lilliand, Alexander Rammis, Azeal Rowens, Shino Terr, Naoya Watanabe and…” Shock and fear shot through the young girl’s body. Not only is she taking part in this but she had to face Midna Slivera, the disputed strongest in the school, but her friends Feris, Michel and Alexander might be hurt!

“And Mitsuki Hisakawa.” At this sudden new development , Jules let out a sigh, though she wasn’t sure if it was for relief or concern. On one hand, Mitsuki would definitely protect her (after taking her flag of course) but on the other she didn’t want her friend to get hurt or hurt other people. Judging from the waves of depression and anger coming from her friend, she wasn’t too happy with the situation either.

“Now for your gifts! For Sylvia Cauthon, a bottle of water. For Hiroki Seijun, all seven books of the Harry Potter series. Alexander Rammis, a pineapple. Naoya Watanabe, a jelly fish lamp. Maya Shinozaki, inflatable earplugs. Midna Silvera, a detached showerhead. Jules Carter, chicken bones. Lorelai Bay, chinese tea leaves. Kana Nishino, a piece of nylon string. Michel Robutton, tarot cards. Azeal Rowens, a bottle of salt and pepper. Shino Terr, a cup shaped like Pokemon. Mitsuki Hisakawa… Men’s underwear... 100% cotton." Jules jumped as ten chicken bones of assorted sizes fell into her lap. “Chicken bones?” she asked questioningly. This must be some sort of joke. The sound of laughter drew her attention. One of the students had was pointing at her, holding his sides as he chortled. Eyes soon became drawn to the quiet girl, making her sink lower into her chair. “P-Please stop looking at me.” She protested softly, not sure that anyone could ever hear her.

As soon as the assembly was over, Jules gathered her chicken bones and slowly walked over to Mitsuki, cautiously avoiding the eyes staring at her. However, her heart skipped a beat as Michel stood in front of her. ‘Oh god, it’s Michel. What do I say? What do I say? Alright, I’ll just walk up there and say Hi Michel. There simple…right?’ Looking much more nervous then she had previously had, Jules approached the man of her dreams, her face a mask of bright red. The words came out as quietly as a whisper. “um, H-H-Hi Michel.”

”Can’t... this be over yet? came the monotonic voice within Midna’s head, displeasure at the roaring sounds produced by the crowd of adolescent males and females making itself quite apparent. Giving a soft internal sigh, the young woman crossed her arms over her chest before, almost in a sense of uncomfortability, hastily uncrossing them to return the limbs at their rightful place; her sides. A silence, thicker and far more intense than before, washed over the shadow controller as she took to watching the people, her “peers... most of which were currently shying away from her form. Typical.... almost my second week and yet, they are scared. echoed the twistedly amused thoughts as, much to a random boy’s dismay, her red orbs connected with green ones. Immediately, the high school male’s skin turned a sickly shade of white, beads of sweat appearing around his hairline as he endured the misfortune of the piercing gaze. Tossing him a sly smirk, quite enjoying the terrified thump of his heartbeat, Midna casually watched as he rushed off in order to find sanctuary at the heart of the crowd.


It was at this time a rather obnoxious voice shattered the tedious white noise, the sound system a tad bit too loud for some. Hmph. How amusing. whispered the voice within her head as several other Alices around her jumped at the sound, obviously startled. Not showing even the slightest twinge of a reaction, Midna’s crimson gaze trained on Mitsuki, her supposedly assigned “senpai”. Studying the blue-haired Student Council President for a few seconds, not really caring about her ‘sickly over welcoming’ introduction, the ex-mafia member allowed for her gaze to wander about the room.


Almost in an instant, the doll-esque girl’s orbs had latched onto her “teacher”, Nero Sceer. His expression displayed perfectly what currently was plaguing her; painful boredom. Maybe.. he’s far more like myself than I thought. contemplated the metacognitive thoughts, a slight smirk pricking at her petal pink-hued lips. It was also in this time, the time of Midna’s scrutinizing stare, that Mitsuki apparently started to rip apart an Elementary Boy’s sorrow, the sound of a disintegrating podium vaguely snaking it’s way into her thoughts. Giving the Dangerous Abilities’s teacher one last analyzing glance, the Alice flickered her bloodily colored eyes back to the head of the room.


It wasn’t until the Student Council president sent a venomous glare at the new Alice that Midna was jerked back to the present. Of course, like usual, no emotion was given in acknowledgment of her senpai’s distaste towards the newest member.. after all, it wasn’t Midna’s fault that her methods tended to lean more towards lethal solutions. Giving another soft sigh, the brief interest already vanishing, Silvera casted another quick scan of the room as Mitsuki begun to draw names for this ‘game’. Then she heard it, the words that suddenly caused adrenaline to course through her veins.. the words that caused the need for bloodshed and violence to surface.


”...Midna Silvera...” resonated within the walls, a name that brought sudden dread to those around her. Instantly snapping her gaze onto her senpai’s, a disturbed gleam seem to have set those crimson eyes aflame. Finally.. a game that suits me. came the buzzing voice, those slender hands ever so slightly curling and uncurling. Briefly, memories of a similar game, more like a training exercise, flashed within the confines of her mind... Of course, they had used guns and hand to hand combat to fight each other and of course, there were no limitations.. but it was still a close enough concept. Almost as if a new aura, an aura of lethal intentions, an aura of domination, was poisoning the air surrounding the ex-mafia female, more students created a wider berth, a zone of inhibition near the sullen teenager. In her reminiscing, the words ”a detached shower head”meant little to her.. after all, Midna was far more entertained with the fact that her “beloved Mitsuki-senpai” was also competing.. in fact, all of the members of the Dangerous Abilities were. My my.. this is going to be fun. taunted the chilling inner voice, the thoughts only causing that twisted smile to grow.


However, at the sudden end of the Student Council’s announcement, Midna quickly dismissed such a look with a soft cough. Replacing that once demented mask with one of a stoic nature, the shadow-ess threaded her way through the crowd and back to the entrance.

"Welcome to the annual Search and Conquer!" a voice chirped from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously, echoing through the minds of the contestants in the menacing woods. Well, in sunlight, it was actually quite pretty, ignoring the poisonous snakes and mud swamps that probably plagued it. Mitsuki felt her jaw fall a little at the familiar cheer. Coffee boy? she thought incredulously. "I'm James Franklin, our student body president's personal assistant." She snorted at his self-proclaimed title. Please, he was her foot rest and slave and had been since they were six. "My lady, my nights have been dark with worry for you," he moaned and Mitsuki grunted in response. The feeling was not mutual; and weren't nights meant to be dark?

"Seeing as both prez and vice-president Rammis were chosen for this expedition, I'll be your guide for this tournament." Mitsuki shielded her eyes with a hand to look at the afternoon Sun, memorising the shadows the trees around her cast and the position of the star so she would roughly gauge the time. She wished she'd worn a watch but each of the participants had been magically teleported to random parts of the Northern Woods at 12:00pm sharp and seeing as she'd been too busy with almost dying in the school hospital, she hadn't had much of a chance to even get dressed. She shivered in her thin hospital gown and thanked her luck that it at least wasn't one of those that left her entire backside bare. She'd prefer to have a pair of pants on but an ugly off white dress with pale blue polka dots was close enough. Her vacuum packed bag of men's underwear was tucked under her arm, despite her having no recollection of having it. She supposed their 'gifts' simply appeared with them even if it wasn't on their person at the time of the transfer. Luck was working in her favour today. You never knew when you could use a pair of 100% cotton underwear, even if she honestly couldn't fathom a situation that would call for that, and she was pretty damned creative.

"As you can tell, you've all been scattered throughout the Northern Woods and you'll find a green and red flag with the face of Santa Claus wrapped around your wrist. You must keep this on your persons at all times. When your flag is stolen, the face of Santa will become that of your new team leader. Team leaders will have the faces of their victims printed on their flags."

Mitsuki was already moving, searching the woods for prey. Having been sent on countless missions, she moved quickly and silently, her eyes tracking every rattle of a leaf or skitter of an ant. She had no idea how she'd even ended up in the hospital but she remembered gasping as a surge of life like a shock from a defibrillator jolted her awake only for her to succumb to unconsciousness moments after. Her earliest memory besides that jolt was giving Azeal half a dozen Howalons.

She listened intently to James as he recited the rules she'd memorised before and put a halt to her prying altogether when he began reading through the names of participants. She racked her brain trying to remember every small detail about every student. She knew most in person and knew all from reading their personal folios yet perhaps it was whatever had happened before, but she couldn't seem to remember anything all that well. She thought she might've understood most of their Alices but the names were being thrown into a large, boiling pot of mud, and it didn't look as if it was going to be salvaged any time soon. She bit the inside of her cheek. She wasn't one to give up.

"Search and Conquer will end when the sun rises tomorrow and your gifts will disappear. The person who remains unclaimed through the entirety of the tournament will win a thousand rabbits, and the leader with the biggest team will win a pass to the outside. Be warned, there are Alice traps scattered throughout the Woods that will transport you to the nearest competitor should you make contact with it. These are very well hidden and unlikely to be spotted, but here's a tip: watch out for anything and anyone that's out of place."

Like that gigantic rubber duck over there?

A massive rubber duck sat a ways away. When did that get there? She gawked at it, puzzled, and then they made eye contact. Wait, what? Eye contact?!

"CHEEEEEEEPPP!!!"

"What the f-" she cursed just as the rubber contraption slash beast bounced towards her. She screamed and spun around, running as fast as she possibly could as the neon yellow creature leapt distances no bathtub deco should've been able to. Mitsuki was in no way slow, having spent most of her days every day chasing after idiots who broke rules, but the duck was one crazy piece of plastic.

"Prez! Prez, are you okay?!" James asked frantically, his voice deafening from the invisible speakers in their heads. She heard a muffled voice in the distance scolding him for using his telepathic broadcasting Alice inappropriately. She scowled. No one was allowed to yell into his ear and use him as a personal broadcasting station except for her.

I don't know, Franklin. I'm being chased by an oversized bathroom utensil. Do I look okay?

"Uh, by the way," his voice returned. "There're some obstacles to overcome in the Woods."

Mitsuki chanced a glance over her shoulder and found the glint of the rubber duck's dark eye.

No shit.

She screamed and ran harder.

"I'm so glad I'm not any of you right now," James laughed for a while before sobering up. "I love you, Tsuki. Survive and come back to me. My body is yours to use and dispose of."

Mmm, disposing of him did sound quite nice.

"CHEEEP!!!"

Maybe later.

Upon closer and slightly less brief inspection, she realised the duck wasn't a duck after all but a gigantic chic. Hope fluttered in her stomach - or maybe hunger, it was hard to tell - and she wondered if she could eat it.

Her eyes darted around, searching for an escape but finding nothing but trees the duck would only crush. Maybe she could dig a hole and bury herself, and maybe the medicine they gave her was making her stupid, crazy, or both. She glanced at the rings on her fingers as she ran and touched her ears, her Alice limiting devices had been replaced. Could she take out a duck giant made of rubber? Did her Alice even work on rubber?

You're not freaking electricity, Tsuki.

For one reason or another, she hesitated to stop and stand in front of the duck with her arms wide open for a hug. Maybe it was the highly plausible chance of death by flattening or her mistrust of self-guided, supposedly small baby chickens, but she wasn't quite ready to die.

But she stopped, spun around, and held out her arms.

"CCCHHEEEEPPP!!!"

The bundle of yellow fuzz grasped her hands and spun her around, tears glistening in the corners of its eyes. It pranced through the garden of trees, although from this vantage point, they looked more like pieces of broccoli. The humongous chic clutched Mitsuki to its neon chest and twirled, emitting sounds of joy or calling for more crack, there was little differentiation.

"CCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!"

Well, stranger things have happened.

Tmp. Tmp. Tmp. floated the eerily soft footsteps, the sound easily getting lost in the noise of the forest. Giving a small tch of annoyance, the shadow controller sent a crimson-hued scan between the thickly growing trees, not a single soul to be found... just shadows. It feels.. at home. came the pleased thoughts, obviously very comforted by the darkness that stretched from the base of the trees. As Midna kept on walking, a very unusual reaction began to fill her being, a reaction that was polar opposite to the adrenaline that would have been normally felt; boredom. So far, the Dangerous Ability student hadn’t come across any out of the ordinary events, nor people... in fact, she had just been walking around for the duration of the game. Not to mention the hand that was clenching the broken shower head was cramping.


Abruptly, Midna came to a halt dead smack in the middle of the dirt path, annoyance causing her eyebrow to twitch. ”Jinx.. come here.” came the casually monotonic voice that belonged to Midna Silvera, a slight sense of commanding authority present. Giving a slight, circular flick with two of her tapered fingers, the shadow controller activated one of her powers... of course, it was restrained mostly by the Alice Limitations she was adorned with. To anyone watching, it must have been a bewildering sight; a tiny circular shadow from a nearby tree had disconnected itself from the bulk and was currently snaking it’s way through the grass and rocks at an alarming speed. Finally, it paused at it’s summoner’s feet before slowly rising out of it’s 2D form and into one of a feline. However, unlike real animals, this particular one’s fur was pulsing and wavering... much like a shadow did. Giving a slight meow, it spiraled around Midna’s body until it landed on her shoulder before rubbing it’s head against the girl lovingly. Returning the affection with a slight scratch, Midna sent yet another quick scan around their surrounding area. Nothing yet. As if reading the ex-mafia member’s mind, the shadow creation known as Jinx slithered back down to the ground to rest at it’s creator’s feet, the glowing red eyes trained intently on Midna. Tossing the feline the brass showerhead, Midna watched in amusement as the feline sprung up into the air, fluidly catching the handle of the useless object, before landing. Nothing was ever said about not using your powers to carry your object. came her smug thoughts as the girl continued on her way.


Sending another glance back down at her creation, satisfaction made it’s appearance well-known within Midna’s heart. After all, Jinx was dutifully walking next to it’s summoner’s feet, the random shower head tucked firmly in it’s mouth... who wouldn’t be proud at the fact that you found a loophole? Another sigh was given by the Dangerous Abilities student as the boredom quickly grew. ”I wish I’d run into someone already.. hell, I’d even deal with Nero right now.”.

[OOC: sorry it's kinda short and rushed >< I just really needed to get something in before I went shopping lol]
