Bonesaw smiles.

"Yeah!"

"Neat! Songs can be a little like that too, you can make them so they don't affect the singer, but you have to kind of do it separately from all the other things the song does, so like if I sing a magic lullaby it'll put me to sleep a lot of the time too."

"The tears are neutralized by ... actually I think just the normal oil my skin makes - if you rubbed my arm and then touched the tears you'd be fine. Normally I'd have made them dependent on some of the modifcations I've made to my skin so that wouldn't work, but I think the tears were one of the first things that got changed about me when I joined the Nine."

Permalink

"Huh, I would not have guessed that'd be first but I guess I don't know what humans are like before you change stuff."

Permalink

Bonesaw giggles for some reason.

"What would you have guessed?"

Permalink

"Being stronger 'n faster? Seeing more colors?"

Permalink

"Back then Uncle Jack said that being stronger and faster wasn't important for me since him and the rest of the Nine were already stronger and faster. Though he wasn't as insistent about that later. I think he was just worried about me being too much of a handful if I could run very fast when he first got me."

"More colors I sort of did later? It traded off with being able to have my eyes adapt quickly to flashbang grenades -" concept sent osanwë "- so I only installed something that let me see if anything weird was going on with other colors but not actually see the colors themselves."

Permalink

"Huh. Warmth is pretty. Elves can see ultraviolet, too, though I can't, and it's neat looking." Here is what Bonesaw looks like with warmth as a color!

Permalink

"That is really pretty! I can see the way my secondary circulatory system is cooling the organs right below the epidermis!" 

"Oh! I have some elf eyes in the lab and I could go and give you and me ultraviolet vision!"

Permalink

"Whoa. I guess his lordship can heal the Elves if he wants them to be able to see later... how come you took them if you didn't already have plans for them?"

Permalink

"Oh it's just useful to have some spare parts around."

Permalink

"And they don't rot? I guess probably you have stuff for that."

Permalink

"Yeah, I keep the parts alive."

Permalink

"Seeing ultraviolet would be neat. Though I think there isn't very much of it to see in Angband."

Permalink

"I could probably whip up some paints pretty easily?"

Permalink

"Ooh, paint!"

Permalink

And Bonesaw and the orf can go back to her lab together and she can start boiling the paint bases while removing some of the spare elf eyes and transplanting bits of them into the orf eyes (which is surprisingly painless for the orf). 

"Can you help with mine?" she asks, laying back on the operating table.

Permalink

"- I wouldn't know how! I could try if you osanwë me what to do??"

Permalink

"Yup! The hard parts already done, you just need to place them in and I can send you where!"

There's some tweezers and a small cup which Bonesaw has added sliver of elf iris too, among other things. The slivers wriggle when picked up.

Permalink

With enough osanwë direction the orf can assist with this step.

Permalink

Goody! That way Bonesaw can fiddle with some spare gristle with her hands during thee procedure so she has paint brushes ready by the end of it.

And now there are paints and new ocular implants and... ah, some eye drops as the final touch to activate them.

"Ta-da!"

Permalink

"And paint? Ultraviolet paint? And other colors?"

Permalink

Right over here! 

"And brushes!" says Bonesaw holding up a set.

Permalink

"Eee can I try them? Where would be good to paint?"

Permalink

"The wall of my bedroom?"
