**"Dûment noté."** J'ai répondu à l'avertissement de Louis, puis j'ai soupiré, sachant déjà qu'il arriverait quelque chose de ce genre à Paige si elle continuait à la harceler.
**"Je-Ie! Aidez-moi!"** Elle a pris son ami fantôme en utilisant ses capacités et l'a mis sur son épaule.
**"Vous récoltez ce que vous semez. Ne te plains pas, idiot. De toute façon, Louis, occupe-toi de la réunion plus tard. Ce serait mal si on perdait notre gardien de la paix."** Bien qu'elle l'ait dit d'un ton taquin, elle était même un peu inquiète. Elle savait que Louis n'était pas un push-over, mais bien, les choses se passent. Elle vit le chef s'en aller avec son groupe de laquais. Elle se tourna ensuite vers Saoji, avec un petit sourire sur les lèvres. "Saoji, c'est ça? C'est un joli nom. Pas besoin d'être gêné quand on parle à Paige. Je peux vous assurer qu'elle est là."** J'ai piqué la joue de Paige comme elle l'a dit. Mais le fantôme agita faiblement à Saoji en retour. **"Vous devrez cependant l'excuser, cela vient de vider son énergie."**
Elle a ensuite réfléchi à la meilleure façon d'expliquer les capacités de tout le monde. Il lui est venu comme un choc l'année dernière aussi, donc il était compréhensible d'avoir des questions. Elle s'est résolue à expliquer les questions du garçon. **« Oui, il y a des groupes de personnes qui utilisent leurs capacités. Au total, il y en a cinq, six si vous voulez nous compter neutres mais nous ne sommes pas comme organisés. Chaque groupe a une règle au sommet, comme Mme. Zéro il y a quelques secondes. Ils ont tous des compétences comme les nôtres et en ce qui concerne la façon de le découvrir... »** Elle y a réfléchi un peu et s'est ensuite retournée voir le garçon avec un sourire ludique sur son visage. **"Vous pouvez juste leur demander."** Elle a laissé une longue pause pour que le garçon fasse monter ses espoirs, juste pour envoyer ces espoirs s'effondrer. **"C'est une histoire différente qu'ils vous dise ou non, cependant."** Elle se moque un peu de sa propre blague.
**"Alors encore une fois, vous pouvez toujours les attaquer. Ils répondront en nature et peut-être que vous aurez un aperçu de leur capacité, mais les apparences peuvent être trompeuses."** Elle était un peu fatiguée d'être debout, alors elle a décidé que c'était une bonne chance pour un changement de décor. **"Nous devrions continuer cette conversation à la cafétéria. On va devoir s'asseoir quelque part."** Elle a dit, déjà fait son chemin à l'immeuble.
**Name:** Ione (Juliet) Barnett & Paige
**Picture/Description:**
This one is Ione!
![]( "enter image title here")
This is Paige! (She's a ghost. :P)
![]( "enter image title here")
**Age:** 17
**Gender:** Female
**Personality:** One way (Maybe the only way) to describe Ione is as odd. She is aloof, absent and some times, she seems to be looking more through you than at you. All of this combined with the fact that she talks a bit too much about ghosts and spirits make her seem crazy more often than not. You see, Ione has two personas inside her, but of course, this isn't a Multiple Personality Disorder, it is just her playing around, and also, a way to hide her bashfulness when talking to others, after all, who would be able to talk about ghosts, spirits, demons and such without feeling if even a little bit embarrassed? Her first persona is Juliet, a cold, sharp tongued girl who tries to scare others with her stories about ghosts (Yep, she named it). The second one is her real self that often peeks out when she is acting as her Juliet persona and someone shows some kind of interest in what she is talking about, the real Ione that is more of a ditzy, naive and a bit playful girl.
While it may seem that her ghost ramblings are nothing but nonsense, Ione does indeed have a talent for contacting the occult. Such talent allows her to speak with ghosts and even see them, and, given her lack of friends because of her odd personality, she spends a lot of time talking with her ghost friends. Given that she is one of the few people who can actually do that, she is often seen talking alone or with some imaginary friend, as they guess, though the reality is actually more spooky than that. Ione also has an unwavering love for Horror movies, though she often comments on the many discrepancies between the movies and actual ghosts.
Regarding her constant companion, the ghost Paige, she is a bit of a pervert that is deeply attached to Ione, and would do whatever Ione wants as long as it is reasonable. Regardless of her appearance and due to the fact that she's been dead for a long time, Paige is more mature than she lets others know, and also someone with very strict morals. She likes playing pranks, but she would never abide to do something that would put others in danger and will also pressure Ione to do the right thing sometimes. The two of the get along really well and are almost like sisters, so Paige is very prone to feel jealous when someone else interacts with Ione.
**Talent:** Mediumship, Ione is able to communicate with and see ghosts, to a really frightening extent, as she claims that, sometimes, she can even touch the ghosts without the use of her ability, though it is a limited and scarce number of ghosts she can actually touch. The reason as to why she can touch those ghosts is still unknown, but she thinks it is because of some kind of grudge they hold.
**Ability:** Poltergeist, Ione has the ability to secrete ectoplasm from her body, a substance invisible to those without her talents of mediumship. Through the secretion of ectoplasm, she can give a ghost the ability to touch things in the mortal realm, from objects to humans, giving the illusion that she has telekinesis instead. With enough extoplasm, a ghost can become visible to the naked eye of any passerby. Though her ability is useful, it does not give her the ability to control ghosts, so there are few ghosts who actually listen to her, though, luckily, she has one she is very good friends with. A ghost covered in her ectoplasm can also posses someone, however, the subject must be unconscious for it to succeed. It seems she can also use the ectoplasm for battle, but given that she barely knows how to fight, she doesn't know how.
**Bio:** Always the odd one out, Ione at first cursed her talent for seeing ghosts, since it caused nothing but troubles. In the past, she was always bullied, because of how she tried to include her invisible friends into conversations with others. Unable to see what Ione was talking about, the other kids merely tried to tell her that there was nothing there, and that she was crazy. At some point, and tired of being called crazy for believing in her ghostly friends, she distanced herself from them. She pretended as if they didn't exist, as if she couldn't hear them. She saw how they detached their own heads and things of the like in comic ways in an effort to make her laugh, but she choked down her laughs and put up a poker face.
She lived a normal life for a while but, to be honest, she found it boring. After being able to talk with ghosts that had been decapitated or had died young, well, she just found everything else boring. She had seen gory scenes before, but she didn't seem to really mind, in fact, that helped her develop one of her greatest interests in life, her love for horror movies. After a while, she finally realized that her fun days were because of her ethereal friends and decided to go back to them, instead of trying to be someone she wasn't with the other kids.
She apologized time and time again and the ghosts that were her friends eventually forgave her, with the sole condition that she wouldn't turn their back on them ever again. After agreeing to it, she was then introduced to the newest additions of the gang. Juliet and Paige, a pair of sisters that strayed all the way to where they were. Ione grew close to both sisters in a short time, but one day, Juliet, the bigger of the sisters, disappeared. Juliet always talked about how it would be great to finally pass on and let go of all her regrets and things left undone, though there was still something holding her down. Ione soon connected the dots and figured that she couldn't pass on because of her little sister Paige, but after Paige grew close to Ione, maybe Juliet knew that her little sister would be able to pass away eventually too, and left this world. Ione was now resolved, knowing that Juliet must now be able to be born again, and she decided to help all the other ghosts pass away and thus, her Juliet persona was born. She helped every and each one of her friends pass away, except for one. Paige was the only one that remained there and, though Ione didn't knew why, she decided she would think about it as it went, given that Paige never left her side.
**Other:** She likes to wear gothic lolita fashion. She is quite good at sewing and handicraft of the like, though she is terrible at cooking.
