HUGE NEWS!! I FOUND THIS SCRIPT NARATION FOR A DOCUMENTARY!! AND ITS FROM YAHLAND!!! THAT MEANS THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAME FROM THAT WORLD!! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON MTV. It Tells What Happened To Me, Desmond and Vox when we went to America for his mission, but from the perspective of his "lady friend", well kinda, its actually notes written by a random guy but it works and I have it here! In the normal world! I'm GEEKED!!!

(Also the dude who wrote it, Andre, dissapered in all the chaos that ensured, so RIP to him wherever he is. His writing was FUN-NY.)

A screen appears in a dark void. On it, the documentary has just started to play.

490: THE BALLAD OF MARY ARAMETA TOPAZ.

ME, ANDRE THE NARRATOR
This is the story of Miss Mary Mack herself, but she's not all dressed in black, its all white and its her killing garb.

MARY
(while in confessional)
Sometimes I wear black, but that's just to look slimmer...

ME, ANDRE THE NARRATOR
Mary Arameta Topaz, hails herself as an assassin,  ...an assassin, for God.

MARY
(while in confessional)
Well I don't really go by 'assassin' Im more of a Mercenary.

ME, ANDRE THE NARRATOR
Today we will meet the woman, the womyth, the womlegend.

- (something she urged us to say).-

MARY
I come from a far away place in Africa, maybe you've heard of it? It's a freshly baked nation, hand woven by God himself, so it can't fail. Its even named after him!  Yahland! Is what we call it.
MARY (again)
"I left to really pursue my purpose in God, and... maybe to get over my ex who also comes from there..."

ME, ANDRE THE NARRATOR
Mary believes that the word Mercenary means "a loving hero who kills out of mercy." We have tried to assure her that thats not at all what it means, but she refuses and says we dont know what we are talking about.

ANDY THE INTERVIEWER
"Is it hard on your love life, being an assassin?"

MARY
(Very Laid back)
"Oh for sure! For sure... I just started seeing this guy, he's like me, you know, a Mercenary, and he's claiming he's so saved or whatever but he's like American saved and I need him to be Yahland saved.

Mary walks me, Andy and the camera crew to her house. 

ANDY THE INTERVIEWER
(Quizzically)
Well what does saved mean to you?

MARY
(Suddenly loud and brazen)
Doesnt matter what it means to me! It's about what the word of God says! A better question would be what does it mean for me, like what does being saved look like for someone like me? Because everyone's walk is different. Sadly we're not all on the same wavelength you know? Oh, well you guys might not understand that to because you're heathens.

We, Andy and me, as well as all the camera crew stare at each other, in disbelief at her blatant obnoxiousness.

ANDY THE INTERVIEWER
(Dismissively)
...Right...So what about that guy you talked about? The one you just started seeing?

MARY
Oh yeah he's French, real sexy, his name is Blanc, I intend to use him to make my ex jealous, yes I do.

DURWICK, ONE OF THE CAMERA MEN
You are so honest...

MARY
(Just not missing a beat)
Well yes, a defining trait for the people of Yahland is our honesty. Self exposure, we love the truth and we wear him on our sleeves!

ME, ANDRE THE NARRATOR
At this point now Mary has told us to call her by her middle name, Arameta, instead of her first, because it makes her feel like an old lady, even though she'll be 19 in December.
