[center][h2]Mary[/h2][h3]Miyama, Gettin’ Toasty[/h3][/center] A ten year old girl walked. Her movements were calm and reassured. Despite that the fire that surrounded her was something that her nature screamed out in protest of, she was unperturbed. The meeting of a curse and a stronger curse, that premise should have filled her with dread like little else could since she became what she was today, but there was nothing present. [color=2e2c2c][i]Aaaaaaa, AAAAAAAAAAAA----aAaAaAAAAAA-[/i][/color] "Goodness, this is rather much. I hope all the animals are okay." [color=2e2c2c][i]A boy sits alone, imprisoned by his own people. On his skin is carved all blasphemies that mankind has ever once uttered.[/i][/color] And so she continued walking, a serene smile gracing her face as she hummed a catchy tune to herself. The boat ride over had been rather nice. She'd never gotten to be on a boat before, or see the ocean, so it was quite the lovely experience. [color=2e2c2c][i]The crime of rebellion the crime of intimidation the crime of adultery the crime of destruction the seven cardinal sins the crime of coercion the crime of theft the crime of desertion the crime of slander the crime of arson[/i][/color] Well, regardless, she had her orders. These were not the order passed along a familiar’s karmic line, or enforced through a curse condensed out of magical energy. Rather, this was the result of a burden of existence built into her. Disobedience to the one who had ordered her was impossible. Even a dagger of betrayal would not change that rule, but it wasn't like she minded. After all, Miss Carly-Beth was nice to her. She gave her sweets, and patted her head, and poked Ted's eyes when he said creepy stuff.

Nice try, Mr. Fire, but you can't pull one over on Mary!" Jumping to the side, she avoided a gout of black flame that nearly grazed her, remaining no worse for wear from it. "...um, I'm Mary if that wasn't clear, Mr. Fire." [color=2e2c2c][i]all crimes should be assessed and sentenced to capital punishment or severe punishment refuse and deny all hatred thus the starting penalty is five- Suicide by electrocution. Suicide by suffocation. Suicide by dehydration. Suicide by bloodletting. Suicide by poisoning.[/i][/color] Well, anyway, this looked like a good spot! Fishing out a pure white mask, the young girl leaned over to just barely dip it into the nearly roiling flames, once again narrowly avoiding their touch herself, before pulling it back. And so she began skipping back to the harbor, humming as she walked and as the mask in her hand began to distort. Maybe Miss Carly-Beth would give her another candy for doing so well!
