Sitting on the railing of an abandoned bridge over the Tamagawa River, in a calm and cloudy Tokyo where the breeze was just enough to keep away the heat was a young girl with white hair. A small orange cat was all that kept her company, laying on her folded-up trademark coat and watching her as she waited for her fishing line to move. Maribel Hotsuin had once again gone off to be by herself, wanting to get away from the tedium of her uncle's work. Her mother was off in America on some business involving a recent rebellion, not normally of her concern but the fact that it had heavily involved demons forced her hand, so the mostly defenseless girl was left behind where she could be protected. With no real close friends to speak of, she wound up here several hours and several fish ago.

She sighed to herself as she looked toward one side of the river. A battle of some sort had started and several demon tamers were attacking wild demons. "[color=6ecff6]Poor things, those people are probably harassing them for macca.[/color]" 

She was about to look back at the cat when she felt a pull on her fishing line. Quickly pulling it in, she brought the fish up the twenty feet from the water to where she was sitting. "[color=6ecff6]Got one![/color]" she exclaimed, quickly putting it in the bucket of water she had hung over the railing with the other large fish she had caught. "[color=6ecff6]Now, how to do this...[/color]"

She quickly but carefully turned around towards the now excited feline and jumped down onto the bridge. Nearby was a pile of sticks and two metal skewers, which she gently placed against the railing before piling the sticks and kneeling next to them. "[color=6ecff6]Alright, Jungo.[/color]" she said, looking towards the cat as she picked up a stick. "[color=6ecff6]Don't tell anyone about this. I've been practicing.[/color]" She took a deep breath. "[color=6ecff6]Mazio.[/color]" Several strands of electricity ran along the stick in her hands and met at the top, causing the end to burst into flames. She gently placed it in the center of the pile, quickly creating a small bonfire.

Maribel stood up and took the skewers from the railing as she walked over to the fish bucket, Jungo the cat meowing and rubbing against her legs as she did, causing her to giggle. Standing over the bucket, she gave a short apology to the fish and thanked them for their sacrifice before sending an arc of lightning into the bucket with a single "[color=6ecff6]Zio.[/color]" The fish both floated to the top of the bucket and she ran a skewer through both of them, taking them over to the fire and setting them against it to cook. She sat next to it and began to pet the complaining Jungo, waiting for the fish to finish.

Finally, after making sure they were well cooked, she doused the fire with the bucket of water and carefully picked up the skewers. She began to set one of them down when she suddenly pulled back, realizing something. "[color=6ecff6]Oh no! These are probably too hot for you, huh, Jungo?[/color]" Jungo replied, though his message was lost on Maribel. "[color=6ecff6]Hmm... Oh, I have an idea![/color] She carefully removed one of her white leather gloves that she wore despite the lack of her coat, revealing a blue medical glove underneath. With her now ungloved hand, she carefully reached into her pocket and brought out her phone, booting the demon management app and selecting "spells." She scrolled down a few spaces and aimed her phone just above the two fish, flat on their sides, before pressing the enter button. [Bufu] A freezing force appeared where she aimed, drawing in the nearby heat and cooling her and Jungo's meal. "[color=6ecff6]There we go.[/color]" she said as she placed her phone carefully back in her pocket. She placed her white glove back on with the utmost care and tested a fish against her teeth. "[color=6ecff6]All done![/color]" she told Jungo as he complained at the wait, removing the fish she tested from its skewer and handing it to the cat who immediately grabbed it in its mouth and ran back over to Maribel's coat to eat. Maribel laughed at her small friend's actions before setting to work cleaning and gutting the fish, cutting the good parts into pieces on a towel from her backpack. Finished, she placed all the parts she didn't intend to eat next to Jungo and brought out a pair of disposable chopsticks, enjoying the meal with the only friend she had total recollection of.
