New York City, it was far different than living in Hollywood since things worked far differently here than it did in her hometown. The biggest change though, was who she was living with. Since her adopted mother died last week, things have been very complicated and Maria has not been very inspired to actually do any work. Because she has been refusing to do much, she had to come here in order to actually have a proper place to live. There was also the point that her only friends in the city were her family, and Maria wasn't quite sure she wanted to claim them as her friends just yet. After all, they were hell bent on making Maria do every little family ritual they could think of. It was rather weird and quite creepy for Maria to live with these people, yet she honestly didn't have anywhere else to go since Juno left no money behind, most of it going to a charity, and the house was quickly snatched by the city. So, Maria was stuck.

Shifting her thoughts to a different topic, Maria left the mansion and took a train into town, quickly finding her way into the Manhattan area and walking the streets. Her bulky black boots beat against the pavement while shiny silver buckles covered her boots as the material climbed up her legs and stopped just below her knee. From there, black fishnet stockings covered the rest of her pale legs until a ruffled, black skirt bounced around her thighs. She was also wearing a blue flower print corset that had black fabric covering her breasts and two straps that wrapped over her shoulders. Her arms were bare, but an ankh necklace was wrapped firmly around her neck. Blond and black locks drooled down around her head, and her rosy lips couldn't help but curl into a bright smile as she watched all of the pedestrians walking around. They seemed like little bugs on a mission, but none of them seemed to fully know why they were on that mission. Not only that, but most of these 'bugs' wore fancy suits and ties or nice dresses while Maria stood out like a sore thumb in a pile of pinkies. After all, just above her sapphire eyes were her pink dyed eyebrows. How could people not look at that? 'Course, where she came from, what she looked like was normal and she use to wear some piercings in her lower lip, but she decided to get rid of them when she moved to New York City since the piercings were more of a way to fit in, course she didn't mind the piercings either.

Walking the streets of Manhattan, Maria spotted a place she could actually see herself going to. It was called Velvet Luv and was very purple, she adored purple. Her smile grew brighter as she bounced across the street and pushed into the very purple cafe where she was greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastries and she melted. Making her way to where the pastries were, she stared at them and smiled happily. There was not much of a selection, but they all still looked very delicious. "Hi, I will have a Dr Pepper and a dozen dough nut holes, please," she spoke with a bright smile. The man behind the counter acted swiftly as he got everything she wanted, a bottle of Dr Pepper and a package of dough nut holes. Oh, how she loved pastries! Grabbing her stuff, she paid for everything and went to a nearby table to sit down and relaxed. Prying open the package, she opened up her Dr Pepper and took a nice long sip, letting the liquid cool her stomach. A shiver ran down her spine before she grabbed a dough nut hole and took a nice bite out of it. That is actually when she noticed a rather interesting looking guy who walked in and looked quite confused on what he was actually doing. He kept turning and twisting, unsure which way he should actually go, and that sight made Maria give a gentle laugh. How could she not be amused by someone's stupidity?
