[The video comes on, revealing a flaming teenage girl with foil tightly wrapped around her hands. It's wrapped around her feet, too, although they're not in view.

She looks a bit confused, though admittedly, that's because she's not entirely sure how to approach this.]

Um, hi. [Whoever's watching this should probably know her name, right?] I'm Flame Princess.

Does anybody here know how to fireproof junk without using foil? That's what I use when I'm not home, but it's kind of weird to use all the time. Normally wherever I live is on fire, but if I tried that here, it'd probably kill people. [Which would qualify as 'evil', she's pretty sure.]

... Oh! And I'd like it if the fireproofing stuff didn't put me out, either. Since, you know, I'm kind of made of fire. [And going out=bad.]

[handwringing]

[Well this is. new.]

You could try to find alternative materials that aren't flammable. But I suppose that won't work for everything...

[wayhot]

[SUP ROOMIE]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but foil is all we used back in Ooo. Well, that and fireproof suits. But that doesn't really stop me from burning down buildings.

[... Wait that didn't come out right.]

Not that I'm gonna do that. That'd be kind of evil.

[everylittlething]

You're a princess, AND you're made of fire? Wow!

[Those are both things Trucy has always dreamed of! (don't ask.)]

Fireproof, fireproof... maybe there's some kind of chemical you could use?

[wayhot]

Yeah, I'm a fire elemental. Everybody from the Fire Kingdom is made of fire! Well, fire or lava. But don't you have princesses where you're from? [Because there is an overabundance of them in Ooo. But! In regards to her suggestion...]

I don't really know about chemicals - I'm not that good at science-y stuff.

[video]

[yatagarasu]

I dunno, you could start a new fashion trend. Foil is very shiny.

[SUDDENLY FOIL IS ALL THE RAGE.]

[video]

[wayhot]

Maybe, but foil is super uncomfortable. And it's awkward to move around when it's wrapped around your hands and feet. [It really, really is. It's fine for a temporary thing, but not all the time.]

Voice

[biotically]

[ That's...not normal. ]

Have you tried a flame resistant blanket?

video

[wayhot]

[Excuse you, she's totally normal. You humans are weird as bunk.]

No. I don't really know much about them - do you know if they'd stop me from setting the house on fire, or would they just put me out? [It's an important thing to know.]

[ancillary]

Your mutagen is fascinating.

[ The highbrow way of saying being on fire is awesome ]

video

[wayhot]

Oh! [Not what she was expecting, but it's nice to be complimented.] Thanks.

But it's not really a mutagen or whatever. Everyone from Fire Kingdom is like this.

[huntergames]

[ Is she seeing this? Is she really seeing this? That's a girl on fire... or a fire that's a girl. It's moving and talking in ways Sasha's never seen fire move before.

What is it it?! ]

Whaaaat?

[ Eloquent. ]

video

[wayhot]

[Cue an extremely confused FP.]

What? What's wrong? [IS THERE SOMETHING ON HER FACE???]

[video]

[smarterthandad]

I can probably adapt one of the methods we use on Uncle Johnny when his powers get out of control.

[Peter and Flash will have to un-ground her for that, HA!

Oh yeah...it's a tiny human child who doesn't sound remotely childish except for her high-pitched voice.]

[video]

[wayhot]

[Flame Princess is from a place where there are candy people, magic, talking dogs, wizards, fire elementals, and lumpy space people. A little girl who happens to be a genius isn't much of an issue. If anything, it's the human part that's weird - since there's only ever been one human in Ooo.]

Really? That's great! How does it work?

audio cause Connie still can't figure this device out

[notmymom]

What about the oven?

[Fire totally belongs in the oven. It's a great solution! Also the fact he's trying to help a girl made of fire is great, too. This place is made of crazy dreams!]

video

[wayhot]

How would an oven help?

[ecphrasis]

You're--are you made of fire?

[wayhot]

Well, yeah. I just said that I am. [Does anybody here have flame people where they're from?]

video/

[bulwank]

You're made of fire?

video

[wayhot]

[Sigh.]

Yeah, I am. [It's strange being the only one of her kind here. Especially since everyone keeps on questioning it. Is this how Finn felt about being the only human in Ooo?]

I guess there aren't any elementals where you're from, huh? [Fire or any other kind.]

Video

[mercyisweakness]

Try a volcano.

[ Just not her volcano. >:(

(Even though she hadn't picked her volcano yet. Whoops, there goes indecision.) ]

Video

[wayhot]

[... Hm.]

That sounds nice. Are there a lot of volcanoes around here?

VOICE.

[enabeled]

You're made of fire.

[ He repeats in a dry, deadpan kind of way that belies how damn bizarre he finds this; one of Gideon's talents. ]

So. Are you actually a princess, or is that just your name?

VOICE.

[wayhot]

Both. My name is Flame Princess, and I'm the princess of the Fire Kingdom. [Is that really so difficult to understand?]

➥ AUDIO |

[nestingdevil]

[He's seen someone use fire, but being made of it? That's a new one.]

[On his side of the line, Greed's surprised. He whistles and two claps follow.] Now that is something.

video

[wayhot]

Me being made of fire, right? [So far the reaction seems to be questioning it or screaming. But the clapping is new.]

audio.

[darkspider]

[He really hates making this recommendation, but it works.]

Unstable molecules.

... Ask for Peter Parker.

audio.

[wayhot]

Is he some kind of science guy?

[transuniversal]

As a temporary solution, there are surely some kind of fire-proof gloves that would be much more effective than foil.

video;

[wayhot]

Oh... [Um.] Do you know where I can get some?
