[The feed opens to that sound of frantic splashing and the sound of the ocean.]

[Loud rapid-fire meows begin right at the source of the video. In view is the farther shores and a large grand piano anchored in the shallows like it had somehow washed up. Behind it is a harried teenager who looks like he's trying to figure out how to drag it out of the water.]

I'm trying, but it's sunk into the damned sand. If the bloody tide rolls in who knows what will happen to the piano case! Have you got the Omni on? I-

[A very pleased, affirmative Mrrooaahhhh!]

Shit!

[He rushes around the piano, slips and face plants into the water before he makes for a dash towards the feed. After a moment it focuses on his face.]

[He clears his throat with some dignity despite that he is drenched in sand and salt water and has a crab climbing up his shoulder. He looks like he's about to make a very formal address before he sighs in frustration.]

Oh, to hell with it. I need some help on the farther shores.

[He swipes the crab off his shoulder before it snatches his ear.]

My piano just washed up and I'd sooner eat calamari than leave it to rot. I can't offer any coin, obviously, but I'm willing to negotiate other services in return. Whatever it fucking takes.

[HE'S JUST SURPRISED. He was going to offer something like piano lessons, crabs are a much easier exchange to fulfill. Probably.]

[And you are right, he has never bought a crab in his life. What does he know of the price of such things!!! He doesn't!!]

Oh! I see. [That makes sense at least, having a recipe. A pause as something occurs to him. He reaches down to try and pick up that crab.] How difficult of a recipe, out of curiosity?

As for the piano, it's irreplaceable. It's from home.

[ she's thankfully easy to please in terms of compensation for work, so she won't really demand for something complicated. ]

Not too difficult, but it requires a few more ingredients to make. You don't think there's also shrimp that got caught in your piano, do you?

[ pls lumine, don't make him go into the sea anymore. ]

This place brought your piano from your home?

[greatestfall]

I really hope not, but I can check. If not, would you be interested in a second trade? Assistance with your ingredients in exchange for the recipe?

[Did you think you could escape your dailies, Lumine?]

Apparently! Or it's a damned good copy, because I've checked all the important parts and all of it is correct.

[Also he will not be hard to find. It is a teenager and a whole ass piano. His omen, which is a fluffy black maine coon will rush up to greet her as soon as she gets close.]

[traversal]

[ yes, she was hoping she could escape her dailies. this is not the holiday she was expecting deer country to be.

in any case, elliot should be worried since it's a tiny girl who's walking towards him with a striped cat seated on her shoulders as if it's the most natural thing. she faintly smiles at the maine coon, letting it brush against her leg, before she stops right at the edge of the water. ]

If you help me find the remaining ingredients, I'll teach you how to make it, sure.

[ see? it's totally her if he has any doubts whatsoever. anyway, she peers at the piano, frowning as she tries to figure out what's wrong with it. ]

You said that it's stuck in the sand, right? If I manage to get it unstuck, are you able to pull it away from the water?
