♫ Eighth Song ♫ [Video]

[seaphonic]

_{[When the feed comes on all that's visible is an overcast sky and the sound of waves crashing. It shifts, shaky before the NV is set firmly onto a rock. Syrena seems to be splayed out on a rather large rock herself, golden tail shimmering and ever so visible, the fin dipped into the water. Her rather nude chest is also apparent, but she seems comfortable more than anything, long damp hair blowing lightly in the breeze, pooling over her shoulders.]}

Today I found something interesting.

_{[And she seems to reach off camera for a moment, before thrusting a metal fork right at her NV.]}

This. This is what I found.

_{[She pulls it back toward herself and takes a few strands of hair in hand before...combing them with the fork.]}

Is it not an amazing treasure? Knots in hair are bothersome but this rids the hair of them. It is much more effective than using fingers.

What is it called, this treasure of mine? I have no name for it. I wish to know.

Well, I'm not. I promise. I'm a divine being, much like you I expect. I mean, I can see that you're not human.

I suppose I might look that way, but look at my eyes...

[Like all shinigami, they are a bright, unnatural green.]

[Video]

[seaphonic]

Yes. I am not. I would think that is obvious. _{[She flicks her tail.]}

They are eyes. _{[Unfortunately, she's not impressed, nor sees the significance.]}

Re: [Video]

[ochitashinigami]

Very obvious, my dear. You're much more beautiful than they are.

And, maybe you don't know, but human eyes don't come in such a color.

Are you sure I can't come and see you?

[Video]

[seaphonic]

Human man or not, if you try to harm me, I will kill you and eat you.

...Perhaps. What will you give me, if I allow you to do so?

Re: [Video]

[ochitashinigami]

I'm not interested in harming you.

And, I'll give you another treasure, to get knots out of your hair.

[Video]

[seaphonic]

I want to see it.

Re: [Video]

[ochitashinigami]

Sure. I'll be right back.

[And he vanishes from the video frame for a moment. He scrambles frantically through the apartment bathroom, and he finds a nice, wide toothed comb with a handle. It's brown and amber and black tortoise shell plastic.

He sits down, holding it in front of the camera.]

See? You can have it.

[Video]

[seaphonic]

_{[Starrrrrrre.]}

I want it.

Re: [Video]

[ochitashinigami]

You can have it. It's for you. And I won't hurt you either.

It'll get the knots out better than the other too.

May I bring it to you?

[Video]

[seaphonic]

...I suppose you may.

Re: [Video]

[ochitashinigami]

Can you tell me where you are?

[Video]

[seaphonic]

At the docks.

[Video to action]

[ochitashinigami]

I'll be there soon, with your treasure.

[He flicks off the NV and heads down to the dock.]

Hello? Where are you? Are you still here?

[Action]

[seaphonic]

_{[And she's there waiting in the water for him quietly, until she hears his voice. Only then does she surface, somewhat cautiously.]}

Hello.

Re: [Action]

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric looks around, not sure if she's still here. He's about to walk away when he hears her voice.]

Ah, there you are, dear. Hello.

[Action]

[seaphonic]

Do you have it?

[Action]

[ochitashinigami]

[He reaches into the pocket in his coat, and holds out the comb.]

Of course. Here you are.

[Action]

[seaphonic]

_{[Fingers reach out to grab the comb, bringing it close to her face as she turns it around in her hands, peering at it from various angles.]}

I like it.

[Action]

[ochitashinigami]

That's good. You can have it. [He lets her take it.]

It will do a much better job than a fork at getting knots out of your hair. It suits you too.

[Action]

[seaphonic]

_{[She gives him a little nod them before reaching up to tug the teeth of the comb through her long, wet hair. Naturally, it does work far better than the fork had.]}

It works well.

[Action]

[ochitashinigami]

I'm glad you like it. What do you eat? Would you like to get some food?

[Action]

[seaphonic]

_{[An eyebrow is raised at that.]} I eat fish.

[action]

[ochitashinigami]

Ah, yes. Of course you do. Of course.

[Silly question now that he thinks of it, but his smile stays in place.]

I could get you some, if you wanted.

[action]

[seaphonic]

How? With a net?

Re: [action]

[ochitashinigami]

I could buy you cooked ones, with butter and spices. Would you like that?
