Singing in the Dark

[Vyn]

Seibeisina was alone in the big park, dancing on light paws and singing in her light, lilting voice. She was in another one of her pleasant moods, looking for company and possibly something fun to do. However, until she found someone she would content herself with her blissful singing.

"The monsters make me hide,
Perhaps I'll eat myself alive,
Internally what is there left for me to be?"

"I can't care for what's left me behind,
And stare at light that makes me blind.
These broken walls trap me inside,
I'm isolated."

Just a kit and already a perfect little Marionette, skunk-like tail held high; a beautiful plume of white and purple for the world to view. Sei was not vain...at least she didn't believe so, no, she was just aware of her beauty and unafraid of flaunting this knowledge.

Handsome Kujien always approved of her flaunted beauty, her effortless grace, her careful elegance and if it pleased Kujien she would stop for no one... Well, perhaps if Ly'onien or her sweet human friend Lyra suggested it, but they shared Kujien's lack of concern.

Alone, but happily so, Sei danced beneath the heavy moonbeams that dappled the Onyx Park, reveling in the wondrous night and wondering if anyone would come along to keep the little Mustildae company.

[silvertip]

a little skinny dog heard the sweet singing and wnet to investigate. she had black and white markings being mainly black. she saw the Mustildae and barked at her. "red alert! red alert!" she barked being her usual yappy self.

[Vyn]

Daintily little Mustildae jumped at the loud yapping from the left of her. Springing backward a pace the Bebe curled her tail protectively about herself and stared in uncertainty at the black and white canine.

"Who are you? What do you want?! Red alert?"

The child was obviously confused, her lovely little voice twisted with an icy uncertainty. Was it the dog creature going to eat her? Why was it barking Red alert? She'd done nothing wrong.!

[silvertip]

her back fur bristled as she tried to be bigger. she act all tough but she was more afraid of the mustildae than she was of her. slowly the little border collie crept little by little to the small euclide trying to catch a scent.

eventually she cooled down and talked. "I'm juun." she told the little kit.

[Vyn]

Seibeisina's hollow eyes were wide, fearful. Inwardly she found herself wondering if she resembled a Paranoid as much as she thought she did. Slowly, using slow deep breaths, the Rhapsody forced herself to calm.

One moment, two at most, where Seibeisina's fear was replaced with tranquility. It didn't last long.

Seconds later Seibeisina exploded into a righteous rage. Growling the tiny skunk-like Euclide stalked toward the dog. When finally she was only a few feet from the dog she paused, glaring daggers and shaking in her rage.

"I'm Seibeisina." She spat, still glaring. "And you're weird...I'm just a kit and I know better than to come at someone barking 'RED ALERT' like some malfunctioning robot."

[silvertip]

the little dog growled at the mustildea. her fur bristled back up. she looked at the kit sternly. curiousity was in her eyes as she still scanned her but did not say a word more. he tial was curled much like a huskys but not touching her back.

[Vyn]

Sei was miserably confused by the creature before her, and soon her anger poured out and she did the only thing she could think of: she withdrew. Tail curling about her paws, Sei took a step back and allowed herself to sink into silence.

She had reacted rashly, Kujien would be unhappy to have seen her acting like such a little fool.

Without anything to kindle conversation, not even an apology for having frightened her, Sei did not bother to restart on a friendlier foot. Kujien would've been proud at that form of action.

[silvertip]

the little bordercollie confused at her silence just decided to leave. she trotted of down the hill and that was that. but that wasn't all the excitement Sei would get.
(would you mind if I brought in my new euclide?)

[Vyn]

(Not at all...Go ahead and bring 'em in.)

Seibeisina growled as the collie left her, not even speaking. The bebe resisted using the foul language she often heard in the human back alleys and simply turned, stalking deeper into the park.

She was feeling miserable, sorry for herself. Seems she had more of the Musical moodiness than she had previously thought.

a grey smog type noticed the little ket and walk over to her. whatsa matter? said his musky deep vioce. he smelt quite wierd, like native american leather or herb potions. his pale yellow pupils looked curiously at the mustildea. his coal coloring blended in the dark well as his eyes reflected the moon. like most smogs he rather not get into things like this but some things are just to irresistable to get into.

[Vyn]

Hollow eyes flickered to the form that had approached her. The scent of him was oddly soothing, though it was not freeing. The little Rhapsody was still tightly knitted in her inner world and she was not planning on opening up without a fight.

Yet she peeked up at him tentatively, head tilted ever so slightly as she examined him. A Smog type? She'd never met one before...then again, she was rather young...she hadn't met many creatures at all.

"I was assaulted by a crazy, common-type dog." The little mustildae muttered unhappily. Shaking her head, as if the simple motion were enough to cast off her displeasure, she turned a renewed smile on the Smog. "I'm Seibeisina." She announced.

[silvertip]

well now, I'm JanJenShi he said quietly to her, his deep voice somewhat soothing but rusty. he sat next to her and hummed a rythum he made up. his eyes has lens and black pupils that sparkle in the moon. the lens that he did have wheren't that noticeble. alittle tint of yellow curled around it while his pupiles were blacker that the deepness of space.

around his feather necklace potions where hung there. more like purfumses actually. he toke out of the tubular vals and shoke it up. then he took the cork off it and a sweet herby fragrence ran around them. he did it because he likes the smell and hoping that the Rhapsody would uncurl.

[Vyn]

Seibeisina watched JanJenShi wish curious white eyes. She'd never seen an Euclides with both iris and pupil...in fact, she'd never seen one with just a pupil or just an iris either. How strange.

"It's very nice to meet you mister JanJenShi... You can call me Sei if you'd like."

Her lovely skunk-like tail uncoiled and she leaned toward the canine curiously.

"You have an iris...and a pupil... I've never seen anyone like you." A short pause, a little smile on her beautiful features. "I like the way your stuff smells."

The little Marionette bebe nodded to the sweet smelling potion.

[silvertip]

he smiled back at the little marionette. hello Sei. he siad to her. with her little pupil and irisis he said well I guess thats different from most euclides. giving that statement some thought. then he took a big sigh of the potion.

he then paused. do you have any parents? or guardians? he asked knowing that she must have had someone judging on her healthy looking status. by this time of night it has been getting colder. the chills of fall nights nipped at there toes as wind sent chills up there spines.

[Vyn]

A delicate shiver danced along the young Marionette's spine and the beautiful child wrapped her long fluffy tail about herself. Delicious warmth. Though the cold would eventually become too much for her and she would sent dancing back to the Theatre, however, for now, she would say and talk with this strange Euclides.

"Parents? No...none of 'em. I'd been staying in the Euclides Theatre ever since I can remember. However, I live with Kujien now. Puppet Master of the Cast of Blood and Cool."

Adoration tinted her beautiful white eyes at the thought of her Puppet Master. He was so very grand...she couldn't help but adore him.
