<div style="text-align: justify;">No being able to say the wrong thing - or at least something that was considered wrong by the person she was taking to - would probably be a big relief to Mari. She wasn’t exactly dumb, but for some, she would be the poster child to the ‘dumb blond’ stereotype. Mainly due to being easily distracted and forgetful, and partially because of her almost child-like nature, Marissa was known to slip up here and there. Her more usual self, though, really didn’t do it on purpose, and was really good natured and wanted to befriend everyone.<br/><br/>Her darker side, though, used Mari’s usual behavior as a way to get information on others. And her forgetful nature worked to the ‘other one’s’ advantage, as she could do pretty much whatever she felt like and her counterpart wouldn’t remember it. <br/><br/>When Nanook commented on everybody doing their own thing, Marissa nodded. “Yeah, I guess so. I mean, everyone needs to pay the bills, after all. And Wonderland is a nice place to work, after you get past all the initial layers of weird”, the girl joked.<br/><br/>Shaking her head and laughing when Nanook said he’d catch her if she started falling, Mari turned to him as well. “Thanks, that will work. Can’t really have my face all bruised from falling face first on a sidewalk, you know”, she joked in her usual light-hearted intonation. Turning more serious, she nodded. “A helmet and pads definitely sound like a safe bet. I mean, I’m sure after a while people kind of forego these equipments, after they’re more experienced. But for a beginner, I’d say it’s a very sound idea”. <br/><br/>Nanook’s comment made Mari laugh. “It’s the magic of the movies. If you stick around, you’ll see how many lies they feed you”. She explained herself, shrugging. “A lot of what I can ‘movie people’ live or hang out around here. Sometimes they go into the VIP area in Wonderland. It’s… sort of disappointing to see them up close, especially when they misbehave, you know”. The girl sighed and then shrugged. “Well, nobody is perfect, after all. I’m pretty sure I have disappointed some people around as well”.<br/><br/>After these words, she fell silent for a moment, looking at the morning sky. She really needed to go home, but for now, she was comfortable sitting there and talking.</div>
