[center][h3]~Ghislaine and Viola~[/h3] Collab with [@Pyromania99][/center] [@Shagranoz] -Ghislaine introduces herself to Persephone towards the end. [hr] It didn’t take long for Viola’s little spirit to find a rather interesting target for her shenanigans. An Alraune of all things. How adorable. It had been quite awhile since she had last seen one. They were reclusive at best, and tended to avoid humans but with a little clever guidance and luck she was able to find a small community of them. Well, why not play with them a bit, hmm? That would be quite interesting, whatever the outcome, no?~ Viola giggled, running through the streets and towards where the fox had been heading. She placed a hand on her chest, a feeling of power coursing through her as she called upon her contract. A small number, only one...not too difficult to her bit it meant she had above-average human abilities. The first thing Ghisliane would notice, was an ethereal fox looking spirit standing in front of her, looking up at her with a somewhat inquisitive stare. If she tried to pass it, it would simply move in front of her again and block her passage. Either way, it’d slow her down enough. A few seconds later, Viola would approach from behind the Alraune. In an almost too swift motion for a human Viola climbed atop her plant body and plucked a flower right from her head. [color=a187be]“Such a pretty flower!~”[/color] She giggled, hopping down immediately. [color=a187be]“I think I’ll take one, hehe!”[/color] Likely before the Alraune had time to react, Viola would stick her tongue out and bolt down the street, flower petal in hand. [color=green]“Ooooooouuuuuuuccccchhh!”[/color] Ghislaine cried. [color=green]“That hurt!”[/color] She just stopped to look at the curious fox that halted her when someone ripped a flower petal from her head. [color=green]“That's so mean! My poor flower!”[/color] She reached for where her easily oversized flower petal. It really was gone. She did her best not to cry. It’d give that human the thought that she could walk all over her. She wasn’t going to let that happen. . . Not that she could actually catch up to her. …she wasn't even attempting to catch up with her, was she? Viola pouted slightly, but she wouldn't be defeated so easily! With a harrumph, she turned around and headed back towards the Alraune. [color=a187be]"Hehe,"[/color] She giggled. [color=a187be]"You know, generally people at least try and take things stolen from them back."[/color] The small child-like person continued, flashing the stolen leaf petal. [color=a187be]"I mean, unless you just like getting stepped on…wouldn't mind doing more of that to you, heh~"[/color] [color=green]”Even if I tried, no, doubled my efforts I don’t think I could have caught up to you.”[/color] She was coming back? Ghislaine wondered just what this child was doing. [color=green]”Coming back to gloat?”[/color] She said with an angry looking pouting face. [color=a187be]"Gloating [i]is[/i] pretty fun."[/color] Viola giggled, holding the petal behind her back. [color=a187be]"You didn't lemme have fun by having you chase me and then fall into a well-placed trap…sooo, I'll take what entertainment I can get from you~!"[/color] She giggled impishly again. [color=a187be]"…do you want the petal back?~"[/color] She held the petal out to the Alraune. However, if she made any attempts to grab it she'd find it immediately jerked away. [color=green]”It’s not even worth anything now.”[/color] The Alraune said as she looked down to the side, avoiding the girl’s gaze, her head-flower looking her in the face. Before either could do anything else, something came out of her flower, a tentacle of sorts, and inserted itself lightly in Viola’s mouth giving her a small bit of a sweet tasting honey like substance before retreating back into the flower. [color=green]”This does make me feel a bit better though.”[/color] Viola coughed at the sudden intrusion, eyes widened slightly not entirely expecting what the Alraune just did. She wiped her mouth free of the delicious substance as she swallowed it. [color=a187be]"Usually,"[/color] Viola continued with a smirk. [color=a187be]"People at least buy me dinner before asking if they can shove their various appendages in my mouth."[/color] She giggled coyly. She was quite aware of the Alraunes nectar somewhat addictive substance, though it wouldn't particularly matter too much to her. [color=a187be]"But if that's how you punish people for stealing from you, I might as well steal your entire flower~"[/color] [color=green]”Give it a little bit.”[/color] Ghislaine said looking at Viola for any change. It didn't take long. Viola's body visibly started to relax, shoulders slumping and a generally calm look replacing her previously much more impish grin. [color=a187be]"Ah…Alraune's nectar also acts as a relaxant…"[/color] She giggled. [color=a187be]"Eeeh, how could I forget?~"[/color] She chided herself for being so forgetful. [color=a187be] "Ah well…not like I mind it at all…maybe feed me moooore?~"[/color] She looked up at the Alraune with a somewhat chilidsh grin. Of course, the Alraune wouldn't know this was just another little trap. [color=green]”To be fair, it’s just the Alraune from my area that have it like this.”[/color] The Alraune smiled. [color=green]”But I am suppose to punish you. . . You seemed to think it tasted too good, you know? Well, I guess I could.”[/color] She added as the tentacle escaped it’s place inside the flower and moved out again. . . Instead this time it poked the girl in the neck, slowly injecting the substance. [color=green]”The more you get the slower you feel. Oh, are you one of those things they call a ‘masochist?’[/color] Her eyes widened slightly as the injector pierced her neck. That was a big needle, and it elicited a startled gasp from the girl. Still, the small child didn't seem to mind, giggling dopily as she was injected with the relaxant. Ah, this felt absolutely wonderful. With her body the way it was, she didn't really get to enjoy certain…things all that much. Heh…maybe she could turn this Alraune into her plaything. [color=a187be]"Awhh~"[/color] Viola gave a giggle. [color=a187be]"Assaulting a poor girl like this…you're mean, you knoooow? I wonder if I should call for help and have you expelled." [/color] She giggled again. Ah, that trap was sounding like too much work right now. [color=green]”I mean, you literally asked me for this.”[/color] Ghislaine said as she injected just a bit more in before stopping. [color=green]”But I can’t get expelled here.”[/color] She muttered to herself as the needle retracted itself. [color=green]”Either way, you probably don’t feel like doing much of anything right now.”[/color] She just kind of stood there with her hands on her hips. [color=green]” I may be looking for wives but this [i]totally[/i] isn’t the way I want to get them. I doubt you’d want to be one.”[/color] [color=a187be]"Nonsense!~"[/color] Viola giggled, attempting to prove her point by twirling away and nearly falling flat on her face in the process. [color=a187be]"I am…perfectly fine!~"[/color] This of course, only caused another giggle from her. [color=a187be]"A-ah…wives, though?"[/color] She turned back to Ghisliane with a half asleep smile. [color=a187be]"Hmm…I'm…a kid…you know? I can't really get married…unless you wanna do super lewd stuff with a kid, you pervert?~"[/color] [color=green]’’Eh? Kid? Dunno. Humans get older right? Not like I look too much older than you either way.”[/color] Ghislaine pondered the subject for a couple of seconds but it was too much work. [color=green]”I also resent that pervert comment. You humans are the ones who wear far too much clothing. Humans find that a lack of clothes is indecent, but I don’t see what’s wrong about being bare. Ahh, but, that doesn’t matter. The effect shouldn’t last all too long. You should just feel somewhat drowsy for. . . A bit.”[/color] [color=a187be]"Eeeh? But you're the one injecting me with all kindsa weird stuff to make me drowsy so you can take me and do super lewd stuff to a kid."[/color] [color=green]”Ehh? I don’t even know your name. What’s there in that sort of thing without even the slightest bit of love? Plus, this was just to punish you for stealing a flower petal. The punishment is. . . Wasting your time. I know you humans have a precious limited timespan.”[/color] The Alraune said, crossing her arms and feeling proud of herself. At the words 'limited timespan' Viola couldn't help but to giggle again, seemingly becoming a bit more serious instead of the dopey seeming façade she had been wearing after being injected. She gave the Alraune a bright grin. [color=a187be]"Waaah?~ Wasting my time?~"[/color] She giggled. [color=a187be]"You're not too bright are you, my pervy planty wife seeking friend. The joke is on you."[/color] She offered Ghislaine a smug grin. [color=a187be]"Time is something I have a lot of..."[/color] She didn't seem like she was going to elaborate though. [color=green]”Well, you do look pretty young so even if you do waste a bit of time, you still have plenty.”[/color] Ghislaine admitted as she looked the girl over again. [color=green]”Ah! Wait! I’m not pervy! And I have a name! It’s Ghislaine!”[/color] She wouldn’t deny she wasn’t the smartest in the bunch, but she didn’t think she was especially pervy or anything. [color=a187be]"Ghislaine the pervy Alraune. I like it!"[/color] Viola giggled impishly, teasing the Alraune a bit more. The needle shot back out and stuck itself in Viola’s mouth, giving her a taste of nectar. [color=green]”How annoying. I’m not ‘pervy’.”[/color] That was another bit of Viola’s time wasted. The needle retracted back after a small dose of nectar was given and Ghislaine asked a question, [color=green]”Are you a student here then?”[/color] Viola of course, had been expecting the needle this time. She coughed slightly at the sudden intrusion but didn't seem to entirely mind too much. [color=a187be]"F-from the way you keep shoving your needles in my mouth,"[/color] Viola chided, wiping a bit more nectar off of her chin. [color=a187be]"You my planty friend, are definitely just in denial~"[/color] She gave the Alraune a languid sigh before continuing. [color=a187be]"Ahh…that's really good, you know? Anyways, yep. I'm a student here."[/color] She continued with an outright lie. She mostly ignored the girl’s comments. [color=green]”Oh, I guess I should also ask your name. I’ve not heard that yet…[/color] That probably should have been the first question to be asked, but it’s whatever. [color=a187be]"Aha, my name?"[/color] Viola giggled. [color=a187be]"Hmm…not telling! You'll find out soon enough on your own, my planty little friend~"[/color] She gave the Alraune a coy smile. [color=a187be]"…if you play with me, I miiiight feel inclined to tell you though~"[/color] [color=green]”Play with you? What do you mean?”[/color] Ghislaine asked as she tilted her head slightly and looked at the girl. [color=a187be]"Hmm~"[/color] Viola hummed for a few seconds to herself. [color=a187be]"How about…let's see, you'd fail really hard at tag. You'd probably be terrible at hide and seek…you're not a very fun person are you? Eeeh…hmm…"[/color] She seemed to attempting thinking for a few more seconds, the relaxant not entirely helping her. [color=a187be]"Hey hey, can you get out of that flower of yours?"[/color] [color=green]”You are a very rude person.”[/color] Ghislaine stated, looking a little irritated. [color=green]”But, yes, I [i]can[/i] get out of this flower. Though I’m not too sure if I want to.”[/color] She said cautiously. [color=a187be]"W-waah?"[/color] Viola pouted. [color=a187be]"Don't trust me? And you call me rude."[/color] Without warning, Viola walked up to the Alraune, reaching over the side of her flower and grabbing her hand and started tugging. [color=a187be]"Come oooon~ I just wanna go look at the hedge maze! But your flowers waaaay too big so it'll get in the way."[/color] Hedge maze? That one thing that people always get lost in, right? Ghislaine was a bit concerned. [color=green]”Going gods know where with you for a name? Doesn’t sound worth it.”[/color] [color=a187be]"Aww…."[/color] Viola pouted, climbing off of the Alraune's flower. She stared at the ground, seemingly in disappointment, clasping her hands behind her back. [color=a187be]"T-that's fine I guess…I guess you don't like me after all this, huh?"[/color] Instead of pressing the issue though, she turned on her heels. [color=a187be]"Understandable, pretty flower, I guess I thought we could be friends…"[/color] [color=green]”You [i]did[/i] steal a flower petal from my head with little worry or care. . . At the very least you could say a certain set of words, unless Alraune are the only ones with manners.”[/color] [color=a187be]"I thought it was pretty, though…"[/color] Viola replied with a disappointed sigh. She seemed slightly uncomfortable as she contemplated apparently apologizing, however. [color=a187be]"…But fine...I guess that was pretty wrong of me, huh?"[/color] She replied with a chuckle, offering Ghislaine a smile. [color=a187be]"…Say, how about…is there anything you want to play?~"[/color] She turned back around to the Alraune, giving her a hopeful seeming look. Ghislaine sighed, this girl seemed very sad didn’t she? [color=green]”Well, apologies are the first step.”[/color] She stepped over the the girl and patted her on the head. [color=green]”To be blunt, you’ve not really acted all too much like a friend. Your apology is the first step in that direction. But, anything I want to play? The Harem Game?”[/color] She joked, poking fun at her own desires. That wasn’t really a game or anything, she just didn’t quite know what game they could play. They didn’t have too many back home. [color=a187be]"…heh!"[/color] Viola couldn't help but giggle. [color=a187be]"Harem game? And you say you're not a pervert! But let’s see…I suppose I wouldn't mind playing if you're part of my harem! I promise I’ll be a good little mistress~"[/color] [color=green]”Nono. I’m the one that gets all the girls.”[/color] Ghislaine complained jokingly. She didn’t know just how serious this girl was but it was probably a joke, right? [color=green]”Ahh, but seriously, I have no idea what we could even play.”[/color] [color=a187be]"You? Get all the girls?"[/color] Viola giggled. In a swift motion, she took a seat on the edge of the Alraune's flower. She leaned closer, demeanor seemingly changing in a near instant as she offered Ghislaine a confident smirk. [color=a187be]"You've never even been with a girl before, have you, my adorable planty friend?"[/color] She reached a hand out, touching the Alraune' girl lightly on the cheek. [color=a187be]"You don't know the first thing about getting girls, do you? So young, innocent, and naïve…you're lucky Mistress Vi is here to help you."[/color] She smiled. [color=a187be]"What if I told you I already have a harem and I can teach you how to get all the ladies, hmm?~"[/color] [color=green]”I’d call you a liar. And I have been with a girl before, thank you. It was another Alraune, of course.”[/color] How could this small girl have a harem? She was calling Ghislaine a pervert for considering just marrying the girl later. . . So there was some taboo with humans or something? [color=a187be]"Ouch. Calling me a liar? And you call me rude."[/color] Viola giggled, hopping off the flower. She had her ways of proving her slight harem-ness to this Alraune. Or at least, convincing the Alraune of that. [color=a187be]"Watch and learn, Ghislaine, hehe!~"[/color] Without another word, she walked over to a student that was walking by. She tugged on the taller blondes sleeve lightly. The ensuing conversation would be within the Alraune's earshot. "E-eh? M-miss Vi?" She seemed somewhat nervous [color=a187be]"Enjoying the opening ceremonies, dear?"[/color] "E-erm, well yes." [color=a187be]"Aha, that is good to hear…and I dislike asking, but will you do a small favor for me?"[/color] "O-Of course, miss Vi!" [color=a187be]"Aha, excellent. I am holding one of my usual…[i]parties[/i] this evening. I am however, missing something…mind picking it up for me and dropping it off at my place of residence, then?"[/color] She handed a small list of seemingly supplies of some sort to the girl. "Y-yes, of course I can." Her face seemed somewhat red by now. [color=a187be]"Excellent, thank you dear. If you don't mind I have to convince this Alraune to join us this evening~"[/color] With that, and leaving a slightly flustered blond behind, Viola walked back over to Ghislaine wearing an impish grin. [color=a187be]"So, how was that for proof?"[/color] Ghislaine had eyes of slight surprise. She was called Miss Vi? How odd. Rather than that, [color=green]”I don’t get it, are you throwing one of those “Opening Parties” I’ve heard of. Ah, well, she seemed a little embarrassed for that.”[/color] [color=a187be] "Never mind her embarrassment, my dear Ghislaine. She was probably thinking about what we did last time I invited her over."[/color] She giggled, taking a seat on the Alraune's flower again, giving Ghislaine a coy smirk. [color=a187be]"And you, my dear planty friend, are invited this time."[/color] She gave her a gentle poke on the nose. [color=a187be] "Believe me now? Or do I need to go find my other…companions?~"[/color] Ghislaine was curious what this “Vi” was talking about. If she put two and two together, it was probably something about. . . Well, [i]that[/i], all things considered… [color=green]”It’s a. . . Tempting? Offer? But, I feel like what you imply is, both shady and odd. With as vague as you are being, I can only assume things.”[/color] She patted Vi on the head, [color=green]”But I don’t think there’s anything there for me. I don’t see a point in doing certain things with people you don’t have a bit of love for.”[/color] [color=a187be]"Annnd if I said I did love you?~"[/color] Viola pouted slightly. [color=a187be]"Who says I don't love all of my little companions? Awfully presumptuous my adorable Alraune."[/color] She hopped off the Alraune's flower, giving a quiet sigh of disappointment. [color=a187be]"I suppose I can't force you though…but here,"[/color] She handed the Alraune directions to her own place of residence in the campus. [color=a187be]"If you feel like dropping by later…you are still invited. My doors will always be open for you, heh."[/color] She started walking off, the spirit fox once again sitting on her shoulder and waving bye to Ghislaine. [color=a187be] "Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do, companions to play with and other things. Ta-ta, darling and have fun on your first day of school~"[/color] [color=green]”Ah, uhh, bye then.”[/color] Ghislaine waved goodbye as Vi walked off to wherever. [color=green]”I wonder if she understood I meant that I don’t have a bit of love for her?”[/color] She muttered to herself as she turned around and headed to the dorms. It seemed the roads weren’t exactly safe even in a prestigious academy such as this. She soon enough found herself at the dorms, they really weren’t that far from where they were. It was a bit of a struggle to get through the doors, but with enough fidgeting she made it through, plant body and all. She was just lucky her body was a bit flexible. [color=green]”Uggh, got through at least.”[/color] This was her dorm room, 132. It seemed like someone was here. . . Well, it felt like more, but only one door was open. It was difficult to move around in here so she let her pant half go rest in a corner as she peeked her head in on the open door. There was a snake girl. She looked like a snake, what were those called again? Lamia? Or something. [color=green]”Hello there! Which one are you? Najwa? Persephone? Maia?”[/color] She memorized the names of her roommates since they all might be cute girls ready to be swept off their feet. [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/IwXdIbX.png[/img] [color=d76317][h3]~Najwa Attar~[/h3][/color][/center] [@Empress] [hr] As soon as she entered, she started making the place her own. Admittedly, there wasn't much she could do to make the place more homey for her, but it was the small things at least that could make it easier being so far away from the sands. She first placed an oil lamp on the desk at the end of the bed. Next, was the bed - which would be getting the most drastic change in the entire room. Claiming the one near the window, she removed the pillows, blankets, and set about making it at least as similar as she could to the one back home. She pulled some drapes from her bag, and went about hanging them up over the walls near the bed - especially over the window, blocking out the natural light in the room. Next, she placed the sheets upon the bed, and made sure the drapes could be pulled to completely conceal the bed from the rest of the room. Next was some books, a few other miscellaneous items...and then there was an intrusion. [b]“Hallo there, Maia. How d'you do? It seems we're to be room-mates. Interesting décor.”[/b] Najwa turned to face the intruder, frowning slightly as she had yet to even finish with the room. [color=d76317]"People usually knock to enter a locked door of someones residence."[/color] The Ifrit's frown turned into a small smirk as she continued. [color=d76317]"I suppose I can at least admire such boldness...especially in a mortal, just don't make a habit of such disrespect or I might forget I'm not supposed to cause trouble."[/color] Najwa chuckled lightly. [color=d76317]"Ah...where are my manners? I am Najwa Attar. One of the Ifrit of the few remaining tribes."[/color] She gave a polite and respectful, if somewhat curt bow towards Maia. [color=d76317]"Now, If you have any idea what we are, then before anything else understand that while I am far from as violent or as domineering as my brothers...I am still a proud being and demand some modicum of respect towards myself. As long as you remember that, then we shall get along juuuust fine, my funny little mortal."[/color] Without waiting for a reply, Najwa walked over to her half-made bed and took a seat on it, lounging upon the plethora of pillows she had brought with her as if she was sitting upon some sort of luxurious throne. [color=d76317]"I suppose you want the other half of this room then, hm? I should inform you I am not used to sharing...let alone share the same sleeping space with a mortal such as yourself. Be grateful that I am even allowing your presence in the same vicinity as mine."[/color]
