[012 ☿] Mer-cury
She's a mermaid, slipping through the water even faster than her normal body could do, darting beneath the waves and breathing her element. Her tail, shimmering blue and silver scales, flickers to speed her along. Sapphires adorn her ears and neck. When she surfaces, finally, she rests on a small rock outcropping, and plays her harp.
The music is clear and lovely. When her voice joins it, lilting and enticing, it becomes irresistible. Nothing like it belongs to this world. Ships divert their courses, heading straight for the rocks, heedless and helpless.
The inevitable wreckage causes chaos. Men shout and struggle to keep themselves afloat. A black-haired soldier determined to reach Mercury finally comes close, only for the mermaid to grab him with unnatural strength and drag him beneath the water with her in a grasping and clinging embrace. She laughs coldly, stirring up a cloud of bubbles that entangle themselves in her hair that wavers with the current. She likes luring them to her.
These sailors and soldiers are far from the first. In the background, the remains of several ships pile up against the misty horizon, notably one marked as the SS Senshi.
[ooc: join in the mer-cury's mischief, be drowned or wrecked (or spared if you're a friend!), just swim together, anything goes. can tell me what you'd prefer.]

Whatever they left behind is mine.
[She tilts her head as though considering.]
Maybe ours.
no subject
Nice.
[Reno grins.] Ours sounds good to me. [She starts to swim ahead.] Let's go.
no subject
Or we can see which men escaped to the surface world.
no subject
That sounds like even more fun. Bet they didn't deserve to escape. [She grins widely, which looks quite frightening when she's in eelmaid form.]
no subject
No. They didn't.
[Somehow, as soon as the eelmaid Reno says it, the humans shift to be a focus of her resentment. Humans, who search the seas but are only interested in what they can take from it, who would be fascinated to see her but only because of the nature of her existence and never because of her.]
Shall we remind them of that?
