Crushed on the Rock by a Siren

WHO: Chico Libre [personal profile] hombrenuevo and Klavier Gavin [personal profile] gitarre
WHERE: Heropa boardwalk
WHEN: Friday night
WHAT: Klavier passes the Bar exam and his co-workers take him out to celebrate. Lucky for Chico he is just the air guitarist of legend he's been looking for.
WARNINGS: None


And you are sure? [ All of his information on this elusive UMA is eye-witness testimony. Chico's got to make sure what they're recalling is the truth. It won't do to have two different stories. But the woman is adamant. "Yeah, definitely! He made the most beautiful music out of nothing! Gosh, it was hard to resist." ]

So it felt like a pull? You know, like he was seducing you? [ Immediately she shakes her head. "Oh yeah, he was totally singing that song just for me! You could tell. The lyrics were like my life!" ] Okay. One last question. Where did you last see him?

[ "Last night. That's why I sent your show that email. I knew I was onto something big! It was on the boardwalk by the ocean..." Ha, of course! By the sea is where those cryptids live—At least they're supposed to. This one seemed just as comfortable on land, and it was a man. A very beautiful man, as the rumors kept telling him, but a man nonetheless. So that's where he decides to set up his sting operation for the night. With his recorder in hand, he waits by a cantina on the boardwalk, where several beautiful women are wining and dining. Perfect bait for a siren! ]

It is twenty-one hundred hours. I am in Heropa where the latest witness states she heard the siren's alluring call. Now, we wait...
gitarre: (I try to remain simple inside.)

Well, you investigated a claim and found the truth, ja? Maybe the truth is not what you were hoping for, but I wouldn't say it's all for nothing.

[He meets Chico's gaze, and the smile from before softens into something a little more genuine that reflects in Klavier's eyes. For all his teasing earlier, that sort of sincerity and earnestness is something he honestly appreciates in others. He hopes it's something Chico will keep with him into adulthood.]

The word "monster" can take many meanings, Herr Detective, most of them bad. For some people, it's a relief to know that there's at least one less monster in this world to be afraid of.
