"My sweet sugarcube! How's it going?"
The little kwami blinked. How long had she been asleep?
"Plagg? What's going on? Where am I? I don't remember my Miraculous being gifted to someone else."
"That's because I'm your new master." The kwami turned around to see a red haired girl of Japanese descent. "Tikki was it? You're the kwami of Good Luck and Creation, correct?"
"Y-yes. Hold on. Why am I even active? Can someone explain to me what's going on? This is all so confusing."
"Don't worry sugar blossoms, it will all make sense."
"What will?"
Mia closed her eyes for a moment before addressing the ladybug kwami
"Tikki. From what I've heard about you kwamis, if you combine 2 specific Miraculous as well as cast an incantation, a wish can be made."
Tikki's eyes widened.
"Don't! Don't do that!"
Mia chuckled. "Now now. No need to get yourself so worked up. You haven't even heard my wish yet."
Tikki objected. "Don't you know there will be a terrible price to be paid?"
"I'm very well aware of that! Duusu here has told me."
"Did he mention what would happen?"
"Those were only speculations. Besides, it's not like anyone has made such a wish in a long time say aside from the mage who created the Miraculous to begin with."
Tikki started breathing.
"Rest assure my little one that you will be taken good care of and don't worry. I plan on paying for that wish no matter the cost."
Knock
Knock
"Miss Director? I finished compiling the paperwork you sent for me to do."
"Yes, excellent. Just file that away. I'll have the managerial staff look into it."
Mia turned to face her new found kwami Tikki.
"Well Tikki, I hope you and I can become great friends and I know it must be pretty tough getting adjusted when the world's changed so much. I've heard much about you, so I hope we can get along. Erika. Why don't you show her around? I'm sure you're going to love this place… and our Society."
Somewhere back on the island of Brunei:
It's been roughly 2 weeks and I've yet to encounter another Miraculous yet alone a Miraculous holder. And this sentimonster isn't doing much good either. Augh! If I don't hurry up and find one, the Director is going to think I'm incompetent. Eh? Why should that matter to me? The Director has already gotten both Miraculouses she wants, any more is just- 0_0
Well would you look at that.
Looks like owner of the Turtle Miraculous still made it out. Hmph! So the Director thinks I can't handle this? I'll show her.
Grinning I order my sentimonster to focus on me. The horned lizard sentimonster points its horn at me and fires a beam- oh crap. That cannot be good.
The sentimonster's eyes widened as it saw a huge box manifest. It was so sudden that it didn't have enough time cancel its move. How did that box get there and why was so large? The beam was only meant for its master but in either case it didn't matter. Thanks to the cube square law, its master had been crushed and the object holding its amok pulverized.
Kaiju Plastra picked up the Miracle box.
"See? What did I tell you?"
…
"That- that was-"
"Smart huh?"
"I guess. Still, sure the Mouse Miraculous allows you to make copies of yourself but your total power is split amongst them, not to mention you will shrink."
"Yeou Lujeu. At my current stature how many clones do you think I can make? I'd wager I could make a total of 5 copies of myself before shrinking beyond the size of a normal human being. And let us not forget the Mouse Miraculous will split my total power- that means when I have shrunken down to the size I was before becoming like this, I would have 1/6th of my power as a 73.04 meter tall giantess in addition to the nigh indestructible nature of being in my Miraculous super form. Plus there's safety in numbers."
…
"Huh. I guess that makes sense."
"Yeah, well there's just one more thing I need to confirm first. Pollen. Since both the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses can be combined, I'm assuming the same can be said of every other Miraculous, correct?"
"Indeed. To combine 2 or more Miraculous together, all you have to say are the individual names of the kwamis of the Miraculous you are wearing that you want to combine together followed by saying Unify."
Somewhere in a submarine deep in the ocean's trenches:
Subject: Tikki
Species: Kwamis
Description: Subject is 10 cm in height, capable of natural levitation and is able to phase through solid matter. Subject has shown to be immune to even the deadliest of poisons and can survive without air. As for demeaonr, subject has on numeral occasions shown signs highly resembling the stages of grief. Subject identifies as a female.
Anomalous reportings: Shortly after the Director of our Society equipped Tikki's Miraculous, various members of the Society have been selected to run field missions. In the past week 500 staff members were told to purchase lottery tickets. The lottery tickets were not altered and no foul play on our end was to be conducted. All 500 lotteries were won, furthermore these were mega million lottery jackpot winnings which have a 1 in 302,575,350. Through simple math we see that works out to a 1 in a 2.61079133373292923676727E4240 probability. It should go without saying that certain lottery numbers are statistically more likely to be winners though seeing how only 500 lottery tickets were purchased by our Society in the past week alone is nothing short but amazing.
Update 1: Our statistics department has verified all 500 lottery tickets were completely full of numbers known for having poor results.
Update 2: The results of last week's lottery ticket winnings have been consistent with last month's findings.
Conclusion: Though it is hardly scientific, it may very well be that the Earring of the Ladybug does indeed grant Good Luck as a "super power" of sorts.
The B staff member sighed. This was just unbelievable. Shelving the report away she murmured to herself. Luck? Had the Society fallen so low that they now relied on such unscientific conceptions such as luck? Still, it was hard to deny the power these so called magical jewels had bestowed the leaders of the Society. Now what was it that the Director wanted to test out next… oh. That's right.
I awoke, eyes blurry. Where was I? I don't remember where or when I passed out. As my vision readjusts I try to take a step back in amazement of what lies before my eyes but find that I can't. I'm- in a test tube of sorts? Is that a Japanese girl with blond hair? Why is she so- Her icy cold blue eyes pierce deep within my ever fiber. No! This isn't right! Why am I so small?!
"Miss Director. The sample you requested has been prepared."
"Good. Send it over immediately."
Sample? What could they talking about? My heart raced as I was carried down a large hallway and past a couple of doors. There I was exchanged with a red haired Japanese girl wearing a school dress.
"You shouldn't do this. The Miraculous are only meant be used for good, never for evil purposes."
"And I assure you, my dear Tikki that the wish I have will be beneficial to everyone. Trust me on this."
"Yeah, but why a wish though? Maybe you can find another way?"
"Believe me, I tried. Look, I know you miss your previous owner and I heard she was quite the heroine. But desparate times call for desparate measures. Yeah I know there's a great price to pay. Had that mage from eons ago never introduce these magical jewels, who knows where we humans would've end up? That mage trusted you kwamis back then. All I'm asking of you is to do the same with me, us."
Tikki floated a few inches back. Sighing Mia closed her eyes.
"Look. The only way we're going to get through this is if we can trust each other. Will you be willing to work with me? I promise I will not misuse the Miraculous."
"And your followers?"
"If any of my followers decide to give you a hard time let me know and they shall be reprimanded accordingly. Now as a sign of good faith I have a little treat for you."
"For me?"
"Yes, but in order to see that we can trust each other I'm going to have to have you close your eyes."
"O-okay."
What was going on? From my position I could see the titaness red haired Japanese girl was talking to someone, but who? Then I felt my world flip upside down. When I came to I found myself slipping feet first into a cavernous- no! I know what this is! I'm in a mouth! Oh god get me out of here! Panicking I try to run but lose my balance. The tongue is so slippery and slimey that I can't get any good traction. A blot of saliva drips down from the ceiling of the mouth.
"Well Tikki? What do you think?"
Tikki grimaced.
"Oh don't worry if it moves. That's just one of the many advancements in food reconstruction that we here at the Society have developed. It allows us to recreate the sensation of living organisms without having to use actual living creatures. Isn't that amazing?"
I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Oh god. If I ever get out of here I promise I'll-
"You don't like it."
Tikki nodded.
"Here. Spit into this tissue paper."
Tikki did as her master commanded.
Nooo! Goodbye cruel- eh wait. What's going on?
Before the shrunken man could take a moment to register he had been spit out his life was unceremoniously squished to a red paste as the Director of the Society simply just close the issue paper he was in crushing him to death.
"That snack you gave me… it tasted like bacon."
"I take it you don't like eating meat."
Tikki nodded. I see. So kwamis do have different taste preferences.
"Well I'm sorry that didn't go so well."
"It's okay. We all make mistakes at times."
"So what do you like to eat, Tikki?"
"I'm a real fan of sweets, cookies are fine, I enjoy leafy greens-"
"Are you okay with eating eggs?"
"Um, if it's in a bake confectionary I'm fine but overall I just don't like to harm living beings. It's just not in my nature."
Huh, duly noted. These results are truly fascinating. So Tikki is more or less a vegan- no. She still eats eggs but only if their used as part of a desert. It looks like I won't be able to dispose of the samples with her.
