    Merit-Striking Looks (exotic)
    Mein:

    Her skin turns a slate-blue and her hair bone white. The whites of her eyes are blood red, the irises are purple with cat-slit black pupils. The helix of her ears elongate out 2" inches ending in a tip. Her features sharpen and her figure has an unnatural, inhuman litheness that can be intellectually disturbing.

    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    Circe yawns then bites her lip as she holds back her laughter. Was Kray actually trying to see if a Deus Vult crusader would toss her ass out for laughing annoyingly loud? Props! "I was a exceptionally rebellious and stupid teen John," to put it mildly, "Guarantee, I did worse and will not throw shade from my past's pile upon your own." And good that the fearful wrath of God wasn't coming out. "Fear and wrath tend to go hand in hand when God smites someone," at least from what she could recall. Though there was another line she recalls and the hidden warning behind it. "More frightening is the biblical angels, no chance of being seen as human, saying be not afraid. For those come not with punishment, but to deliver a far more weighty package. Responsibility."


    Flammable and inflammable meant the same thing, which she found quite amusing. Thus a fun trick question. "Yes it did," she smiles at Kray. "Pretty much. And it wasn't a after school special where the inside was cooked to perfection as the outside was burnt like a marshmallow. All burnt." Save that beggars can't be choosers in the Hedge. Especially when it came to protean sources.


    Yawning again, Circe shakes her head. Fortunately the song ended, so that was good. "Meh, too laaaaate," she is still affected by the song's de-buff to wakefulness though. "Pavlov didn't get me snoozing," she smirks and has no answer to that. "I could guess, but I doubt you were making a pun about In the Bleak Midwinter," she didn't like that song. Failed piano lessons on a bet. "If you were making that pun, then I shall demand donuts for winning the guess."

    Mask
    A giant of a man (7ft 6'), broad as a barn (300lb) his muscles are not things curated for gym selfies but thick from use and abuse. The jug jaw can be said to be his most flattering feature, after the badly broken nose, limp locks of hair and sharp shattered teeth. He wears a long poorly made overcoat, suspenders keep trousers up over a ill fitting white work shirt. A battered fedora is his only accessory.

    Mask: a battered brown moth eaten fedora, the hat band looks like a band of sackcloth has been wound around it.

    Mein: made of stitched red and brown leaves, 2 holes for his horn nubbins -- the scarecrows I pictured to be in place of the hat band, just a jumbled array of tiny standing and suspended sackcloth and straw people ringing the main body of the hat.

    Mein

    Standing an inch or so taller and broader than its already giant mask the blubbery ashen skin, splotched with chitinous scabs and bulbous fleshy worts look almost diseased. Wild and matted lichens and moss form a tangled mane of hair and beard. Thick trunk like, twisted, arms of exaggerated length, end in vast hands with dark chipped nails. The pillar like legs bow slightly. A barrel chest and obese gut only add to the immensity of the creature. A broad jaw houses a chaotic array of sharp and curving teeth resembling shards of stone that prevent complete mouth closure ensuring they are always on display. The flat squashed nose leads to the sickly yellow sclera of the vast bulbous eyes and pupils more akin to fragments of flint, in turn overshadowed by nubbin horns protruding from a wide forehead

    Gristlegrinder Troll

    Comparing childhoods not entirely remembered, from different times and places did seem to be well rather redundant. "Ah. I'm sure you were a real terror in your youth Mary. A right little hooligan if there ever was one." Likewise not comparing or conceding simply acknowledging what she said about herself was convincingly true to him. "Oh. That they do seem to." A wonder then no lost got more involved in church life, plenty of glamour to be had. That idea makes him chortle and the giant has less success then summer queen at keeping it in. Once that passes he continues. "Bah. They give ultimatums don't they? Didn't one fella say no then got eaten by a whale?" The ogre is hardly a theologian but the story of Jonah is fairly well known.

    A heavy shrug, sure he preferred good food when it could be hard but the ogre was not fussy. "Hm. Food is food and burnt is still edible." His stomach had kept worse down.

    Looking interest. "Oh. Is that who wrote, Uh. Composed that one, Pavlov?" It would seem alongside Theology, Psychology is another of the giant's weaker areas. "Uh. No. No I was not making a pun, why what id you think I meant?" Sure with her comedic skills the summer queen would have thought of something worthwhile.
