Video Post 16

[Rachel is sitting on a rock, in a bathing suit top and... not much else. Her long tail is full of bright shimmering scales in a beautiful rainbow pattern. She seems to be watching a school of fish swim by and is lost in thought, looking almost sad, but not quite there.]

[Blaine appears and he floats there for a moment, simply watching Rachel with a

[It opens to some dark, dank place, lit only by a very distant hole in the roof and walls that let in creepy slats of light across a shadowed face.

Then, it's all tentacles. With a whoosh the person is gone from the frame, only to swim into frame again farther away, directly in the path of the light. Her tentacles swirl all around her and son, these hips don't lie.]

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty- they weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch.

[... ... ...]

[You have her complete and utter attention.]

[You see her trollin', you hatin.']

Sugar. [Up in the PCD's FACE now.] This is the part where you sing along.

I'm changing some of the words. That spell is completely sanitized horseshit.

Ariel does not sing until after two verses.

[With an entirely unsavory grin, Sonja pushes back from the camera and into the light once more, to resume her singing- and boy, does she ride that crazy train to Hell. She sings the song, complete with two eels that were once some kind of wildlife, right up through the first portion. At a certain point she turns in mid-water and comes right up to the PCD, somehow both eye-fucking and majorly skeeving on whoever's watching- in this case, Rachel. She vamps up that Ursula shit so hard you can practically see the extra eighty pounds and lesbian haircut.]

Have we got a deal~?

[Rachel is sold. Sonja is an artist. And Rachel is all too happy to play along, with a hesitant and wide-eyed:]

If I become human, I'll never see my father or my sisters again -- !

[It's not hard to dig deep for the contempt and predatory rape-face. It just comes naturally. How easy it is, really, to win the hearts and minds of some.]

But you'll have your man. Ha ha ha ha~! Life's full of tough choices, innit?

OH. And there is one. more. thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment!

But -- I don't have --

[sonny_delight]

I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle!

What I want from you is--

[She turns with a flourish, expression darkening to pure predation.]

--Your voice.

[showchoirstar]

But -- without my voice -- how can I?

[It's the most crucial element of the story. To give your voice for someone you love -- Rachel couldn't think of a bigger price to pay.]

You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! [This is the face of someone you wouldn't allow near your children.] And don't underestimate the importance of bo-day language, HAH. [Complete with tentacled hip sashay and work-the-pole shimmy.]

The men up there don't like a lot of glamour- they think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word, and after all dear what is idle chatter for? [Sonja has always loved this song. It warms her cockles to think of little girls hearing this message slipped right into a nigh-deified movie. It gives her real glee to channel into the rest of her performance, and she even manages to swirl the water around her into an admirable twister when cinematically appropriate, until it's time for "Ariel" to sing again.]

[Rachel is transfixed, but does not break character once. After all, it's unbecoming of a professional to allow her amazement to ruin her own excellent performance.

And now -- the best part of the scene -- and Rachel sings the scale to perfection. When her 'voice' gets ripped away, her hands fly to her throat appropriately, and her lips move, but there is no sound escaping.]

[Blaine's watching and listening with interest. This is one of his favorite villain songs, after all. Though The Little Mermaid is one of his favorite Disney movies...but that is beside the point.]

[And yes, Sonja sticks it. She sings the song, complete with two eels that were once some kind of wildlife, right up through the first portion. At a certain point she turns in mid-water and comes right up to the PCD, somehow both eye-fucking and majorly skeeving on whoever's watching- in this case, Blaine. It's true Ursula style, with bells on.]

Have we got a deal~?

[You get excited clapping form Blaine, Sonja.]

I'd agree, but I doubt you can bring back my prince charming.

[sonny_delight]

[Prince? She's filing that nugget away for later.]

Your line was something about seeing your father or sisters again, princess. [A tentacle or two swishing idly. Keep giving me this little to work with and I'll have to throw a latte at a PA and flounce off to my trailer.
