maskormenace | 12. A Rolling Stone Gathers No Mozz [Video]

[Tina's happily humming to herself as she turns the feed on. A notebook is lying on Maurtia Falls #003's kitchen table, and she zooms in on several labeled drawings of burgers as she slowly flips through the pages:]

Magnus Burnsides - mango salsa with "sideburns" of hot peppers
Wizard Of Mozz - Italian sausage patty, topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella
Merle Highchurch - Pan fried, topped with a few different kinds of greens
Detective Angus - made of Angus beef with a mystery cheese inside
Max - a long bun with two mini patties and fried pickle wheels, to look like a skateboard
Sharpedo - sharp cheddar cheese with "fins" made of nacho cheese Doritos
Pikachu - put pepperoni slices for cheeks, olives for eyes, and mustard for the face on the patty
Exeggutor - honey and egg bun with two fried eggs

[Tina then shuts the notebook and turns the camera on herself, looking quite proud.]

This has been my latest project- coming up with burgers themed after imPorts I know. I want to sell them, maybe at swear-ins, or something like that.

If you could make your own burger, what would you put on it?

Those sound quite delicious!

[ A light giggle. ]

I think I would call mine the Mona! And it would have yellow peppers and be made with a fish patty instead of a beef patty.

Thank you!

I can definitely cook fish, too. I learned how to make burgers from my dad, and he's pretty strict about thinking of burgers as only being made of beef, but I'm a lot more flexible.

[ A father who makes burgers, hm? ]

Your father is a chef?

Uh-huh. His specialty is burgers- he owns a restaurant and my mom and siblings and I all help him run it.

How wonderful! You must be proud of him.

[ She only hopes Tina's father doesn't use her and her siblings for personal gain! ]

Does this mean you are a chef in training?

We're not always successful, but he is following his dream, and I think that's great. Plus, it's my family's thing. It's our place.

I don't know. My parents don't expect me to take over the family business, but I haven't thought much about what I'd like to do with my life, either.

That's very kind of them not to pressure you... so you have a chance to pursue other dreams.

Is there anything you like to do?

Yeah, I'm really glad for that. I'm the oldest sibling, so it normally would fall to me, but I think my sister is more interested in it than I am.

Uh, well, I like to write. And I like horses.

Horses are such majestic animals! Maybe you could professionally race?

I agree 100%! I don't have a lot of experience riding, though... and my horse isn't big enough. But then again, I can still learn, and I am trying to.

[ She taps her chin. ]

Perhaps you could look after them in their stables?

... ah, so you have a horse here?

I do! He's a miniature pony I won a few months ago. I keep him at a stable, and that's where I'm getting help riding. And learning how to care for horses.

How cute...

Do you have a teacher for your lessons?

Mmhmm. I've had a few imPorts offer to help me, too- they all worked with horses back home. I'm kinda jealous, to tell you the truth.

I would not blame you. Horses are beautiful animals. I think I wanted one as a child myself.

I am certain there must be some kind of vocational training you can take when you are older to work more with horses.

I've loved horses since I was a baby. My dad has a picture of me riding on a carousel when I was an infant; it's one of his favorites.

I've thought about maybe becoming a veterinarian. But seeing injured animals would be hard, too...

I imagine it would be... I can hardly stand seeing animals being sad alone.

Mhmmm. I'd want to rescue all of them. I've also thought of maybe doing something to train and provide therapy horses- they can help peoples' mental health, and riding helps with balance.

Oh! Instead of therapy dogs... horses? What a neat idea!

Would big horses be intimidating or would it be all sorts of horses?

All sorts of horses. I've looked up information about it on the internet and some people even have miniature horses instead of service dogs. They can't go as many places as dogs can, but they perform some of the same functions.

Service horses? I wonder how that works... service dogs can detect seizures and whatnot, can they not?

Uh-huh. Horses can do that, and help with balance and mobility. They're amazing animals...

It sounds like they are! Are there any other animals you like?

I grew up next to the ocean, so... anything that lives in the ocean. Though I like starfish and sea cucumbers, the things people tend to find unloveable.

Starfish can be a little aggressive, I suppose...

[ She is absolutely not talking about regular starfish, but giant monster ones she fought. ]

But they've always been on the weak side...
