I removed myself from my assigned post. It is not my fault human hair is so weak that it is flammable.

[ Although the resulting screams made her feel a little better, especially since she already decided to leave the inane post.]

Either way, I'm done with it. Cutting hair is not the path to greatness.

[ There is another pause. ]

Are there any volcanoes on this continent?

[THIS IS WHY HE WILL NEVER GET A HAIRCUT]

i'll bite: how'd you set someones head on fire while just trying to cut their hair?
i dunno about the volcanoes. probably?

You don't.

People here wet their hair and curl the strands around heated metal to make it curl.

[ IT'S THE DUMBEST THING. ]

Edited (THE LAST EDIT I KEEP MESSING IT UP.) 2014-05-22 21:56 (UTC)

so where's the flammable come into play?
the way you said it sounds like you set someone on fire.

I did. The customer demanded that it has to be done quickly, so I hasten the process.

[ . . . ]

yeah career change seems like a good move
that why you're looking for volcanoes? some place more fire friendly?

I lived among volcanoes back home.

[ Sort of. The Abyss AKA Hell is sort of known to be a volcanic wasteland. ]

so yeah fire friendly
i'm sure there's info on the internet or something
i dunno of any on this side of the world.

What is the Internet?

it's like this thing we're talking over 'cept there's more of it
ask a friend to show you google
then type in 'where are volcanoes' i guess

I'll inquire my allies.

[ Because she doesn't do this friendship deal. ]

close enough i guess

[ She didn't asked anyone, in the end. The allies she acquired were street thugs, and she doesn't trust them to learn any potential locations of her lair. Eventually she found a list, but what she found disappointed her. ]

They are far out west.

[ She is disappointed. She doesn't want to undo her work and start again on the west side of the country, even though the issue of distance isn't that much of an issue. ]

no good?
maybe move someplace where they let you keep a fire pit
or go to a sauna

If you were born in the deep forests, would you sleep in a garden to satisfy your longing of home?

i don't really get homesick
never really had one i got attached to
but i've slept in something kinda like a gardern before yeah

[ No, Crematia, nooo. ]

I don't know, it depends if you like doing it or not.

And yes, there are volcanoes. Why?

Cutting hair is a position of servants. Do I look like a servant to you?

I want to be in a place that is similar to home.

It's not a bad job. Trust me, people will pay good money to get their hair done.

[ A pause. ]

Is Florida not hot enough?

This section of land is a marshland, doomed to be underwater in a century's time.

[ Crematia cannot be any more snootier in her tone. ]

I grew up around fire, and lava flows uncommon.

I'm fairly certain Florida will still be standing. Floating. Whatever.

[ Talk about dramatic, lady. ]

So you need a place much hotter. You sure it's safe?

Fire does not harm me.

[ She fucking bathes in it. ]

One of my gifts, you can say.

That's mighty useful for the summer.

But I don't know if you can live in or near a volcano. I'd say local authorities might freak out and try to rescue you.

[ This time she's actually amused, because of the likelihood of that. ]

Now that is something I will look forward too.

There's nothing funny about worrying people who wind up hurt looking for you.

[ who calm down gurl ]

You saying as though I will allow that to happen.

[ Although she might if it amused her. ]

Huh.

[ Can't tell if she's serious or not. ]

If it's that much of a problem for you, maybe you could ask Holiday or Ananke about relocating somewhere... volcanic.

Who?

I think Ananke still does escorts from Cape Canaveral to Heropa? She's with the military.

Anything can be a path to greatness if you're clever enough.

You could always try the Pacific Northwest if you want volcanoes within the country. Otherwise... further south is a safe bet.

[ Excuse you, did you just call her stupid? ]

Why south?

[ Not in so many words, but... ]

Because there are volcanoes in South America, if you're willing to cross a border.

[ This place is a test of her patience and she does not like it. ]

Perhaps. Are the volcanoes active?

As far as I know. Though I'm not an expert. Does it matter?

It's a matter of preference.

You know, were you less vague others may be able to provide more useful answers.

I like my privacy. Is it bad enough they marked me as though assuming I will be their champion?

Is it? There are a lot of benefits that come with being a champion -- what's preferable to that?

I am already someone's champion. I merely agree to be this goverment's champion for the time being simply because I like the housing they put me in.

[ There is so much stuff in her residence. Jewelry, various scraps of metals, skulls, an occasional precious stone - anything that look interesting or valuable to a dragon. ]

I just want an opportunity to make it on my terms, not label me like an animal and have me scramble and figure out what to do in a position that I had no expertise whatsoever.

The housing is nice, I agree. A bit modest, but serviceable.

[ He's quiet for a moment, contemplative. ]

What would you rather be doing in particular?

[ What does she want? ]

To fight.

[ Find your strongest enemy and kill him, then find your second strongest enemy and kill him as well. This is the decree, one that Crematia took to heart.

If the government won't provide an enemy to fight, she will become one herself. ]

[ An interesting answer; Norman raises his eyebrow to his communicator. ]

To fight what? Not the government, I take it.

Anything at this point. The enemies from home are not here, but my existence is built on defeating my enemies. If I have none, then what is the point of me living?

Ah. You must come from somewhere very brutal, Ms...? Either way, there's always more. Who defines your existence? Your enemies, or you?

Crematia.

And both do. Give me something to fight, or I will find something to fight. I will not live in shadow and meekness, no matter what world I am in.

It sounds a bit futile when you put it that way. Forgive my saying so.

Nonsense. There will always be someone who will oppose you.

Isn't it better that the opposition mean something? Personal significance, rather than chasing a fight for the sake of fighting?

[ she shrugs ]

Those who oppose you will find ways to make it personal. A fight is personal to me no matter what happens.
