Crow is waiting! She smiles at the lady. 

"Shall I show you the Sea now?"

Gulp. "Yes please."

Crow smiles slightly at the lady's Fear. She is what she is. 

And then they are floating near each other in the Endless Sea. It is calm, and blue, and the lady cannot see any land and she knows in her heart that there is no land here. She cannot see a bottom, either, looking down - only more Endless blue into the darkness. It is impossible not to feel at least a little Small, here. The Ocean Is Bigger Than You Are. 

Crow shifts slightly, gaining patches of silver scales and webbed hands and feet and almost penguiny wings. She looks at the lady with too-reflective eyes, and there is reverence in her voice as she speaks. 

"Welcome to the Endless Sea."

"It’s kind of beautiful... does it have fish?"

"Some parts. Here doesn't, though."

"I don't know if you should put fish in our oceans or not... they're probably different kinds..."

"We could see. Mostly it sounds as though what you need is lots and lots and lots of water?"

"Yes. We're probably losing fish and stuff to the disappearances too but water solves the most immediate issue."

"Makes sense."

"Shall we return to the world now?"

"Sure. Thank you for showing me."

Crow smiles. "Of course."

And they are standing back in the room they left, perfectly dry. Crow reaches to steady the lady from the inevitable stumble.

Whoa yep there is a floor again! "You were saying about a price?"

"I told you my magic Feeds on Fear, did I not? I would need to Feed any anyway, to survive, but - much moreso if you want me doing big flashy expensive things all the time, which from the sound of it this most certainly would be."

"It eats fear, so then people can't be scared any more and might walk off cliffs or something?"

"No people can absolutely still be scared after, moreso from the experience like any bad experience if anything, I just scare them very badly in the process of Feeding on them."

"Like you have to almost drown them or something?"

"What exactly I do varies, the important thing is that they be Afraid. I could show you something fairly abstractly harmless, if you wouldn't mind, but you can't say I didn't warn you if you take it badly."

"I kind of need to be in a mentally stable condition if I'm going to be introducing you to people, can you j- how do you speak Gatetalk, anyway?"

Crow holds up one of the necklaces she wears, the one that's an eye the same color as hers.

"It's an artifact, it does translation. Or more precisely - I Understand and am Understood. I've used it to talk to corvids in the past, very simply, but mostly it means that I don't have to worry about language barrier nonsense. - I got tired of language barrier nonsense extremely quickly, given that the same power I just showed you essentially lets me teleport."

"Oh, that'll come in handy, probably putting a lot of water all right here would be bad so it'd be better to replace it closer to the point and there's not much Gatesnest in the ocean. Can you just describe what a volunteer would be signing up for?"

"Put simply, Fear. The Sky, falling, the Sea, the feeling of not being able to breathe - though I wouldn't in either case actually do them any real lasting harm - the unavoidable imposed awareness of their own insignificance. That's not necessarily an exhaustive list but I think it's representative of my normal Feeding methods? Ah, as regards Infinity, that is, and I mostly serve Infinity and that's what I'd be doing flashy expensive things with. I am technically also empowered very slightly of the Web - Connection and Control, my spider hairclip can be used to puppet people as a Feeding tool - and will in fact run into problems eventually if I don't Feed as Web at all, but that's - much less of an all the time thing."

(One of the pieces of jewelry she wears is a hairclip in the shape of a spider, the body of which is a glass gem. There's a place where another glass gem should be but isn't, and if you look closely one of her necklaces is the one that would go there, wirewrapped.)

"But if someone just isn't scared of heights or something you can't use them?"

Crow smiles. This smile has teeth in it.

"They do not necessarily need to have already been scared of heights. - There are in fact people who are genuinely not Vast Food. But it's not most of them, if one pushes enough."

"People who volunteer for this, what usually do they say about it afterwards?"

"...uh. People do not usually volunteer for this."
