She signs up to be a state mage in order to resurrect Madeleine, but the magic-wielding country of Karma and demon-commanding country of Hanna are on the brink of war and state duty prevails over personal desires.

"In a society that has abolished all adventure, the only adventure left is to abolish that society." We as humans paint our individuality with colors that have already been selected for us. And we aren't bothered: perhaps we're too obsessed with self-preservation. Our masquerades, left too long, slip easily and comfortably into reality. By nature, we are a predetermined race. In a world where everyone is too sane to have common sense, the line between the good and the bad has never been so blurred. And we have never been less binary. • • • [On Hold] • • • 1st Place Fanfiction in the Elimination Awards.

[Now With Photos!] Who are you? No, I don't mean your character. Who are you? I wonder this question every time I go to a con. I try to find a quiet spot and people watch. And my eyes are always drawn to the cosplayers: the young, the old, the experienced, the store-bought newbies, everybody. But even as I pose and smile, as the flash goes off, I wonder, who is this person? This person standing next to me, who has devoted so much time and so much more money to becoming this character? What is it about you, yes you, that compels you to travel, sometimes very far distances, to a con and give up an entire weekend to pretend to be someone you are not? It took me a couple of years to get the guts to start actually asking these questions. When I did, I wasn't disappointed. And that's where Masks Off came from.

They called her 'Obeah Gal', although they had no hard and fast evidence to prove their accusation. No oddities like bones and bird feathers, or bottles or perhaps a skeleton of some sort in her little shed of a home... In fact, she seemed to be more of a 'mad woman' than anything else--she ought to have been locked up in Bellevue, according to some--and yet, not quite that either. She seemed to have healing hands. ***Suitable for all ages.*** ON HIATUS.
