[b][i]Maria Hamada[/i][/b]

"Indeed," Maria spoke to the sleazeball, "my idea -" Then everything went into chaos as people began attacking the ghosts, and someone with a very large Yokai head entered the building. She also barely noticed Sume-san entering the area; she knew of the cute 'friendly' Yokai with hidden powers. Deciding that no one here was going to give her any payment, Maria walked to the sand-shark who held a blobfish in his mouth, and said, holding out her hand:

"Hello, Sume-san, my name is Maria Hamada, Alchemist. Can I pet you? Also, what do I need to do to have some of your sandshark fur given willingly to me?"

She was actually smiling; the Yokai's sight brought a light note into her heart rivalled only by the Ponies from My Little Pony. But that would not stop her from bargaining seriously for Sume-san's body parts, because she knew that the Yokai was more powerful than people thought he was. How? Well, she had her ways, ways involving powders and parts of weaker Yokai. Speaking of Yokai, the reason she didn't look at the man who brought the large Yokai head was because said Yokai head, being no longer willing to give body parts because it's dead, had its potency for Castillian-Tagalog Alchemy much reduced. 

Then, a random thought:

[i]If 'Paracelsus' means greater than Celsus, does that mean that calling myself Maria ParaParaCelsus is valid, as I can actually accomplish the usual goals of an alchemist?[/i]
