iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

oh-! that's my, um... friend! he's really protective... you're kinda lucky he didn't threaten you, honestly!

000

i suppose so-! but i'm far from clever... ^^;; [he can't accept a compliment to save his life]

000

i stole this joke... i'm really not that smart!

000

what is a sky? [looey turned his head to look at sebastian, ears drooping to the side.] lights like this are all i've ever known! gray rooms, ventilation systems and pipes all along the walls and ceilings... artificial green carpet, tile floors, cold elevators... ++

my catch of the day? that'd totally be sebastian! he's so cool. i also know one other fish but /he/ does the catching, not the other way around. kinda weird! [giggling!!]

000

probably. i can see why! did you like that one?? i gotta workshop more kangaroo jokes! ...and fish jokes. those are pretty finny... bweheh. [sticking his dual colored tongue out in thought as he spoke.]

000

[tucking themselves in like they had a blanket with seb's tailfin. it wasn't like looey was looking at anything in particular. thoughtfully, he hummed,] is there a world without a ceiling?

000

i know! but i'm made of air on the inside. it's not like i need to put gunk in my stomach in order to live like you do. and if i do that, i'd rather it be a sweet treat! what'd ya get? [trying to hop up to look at the contents of the box... it wasn't anything too insane. a disgusting ++

[he looks a bit surprised when krypt joins him! perking up when he feels the presence.] hiya, man! how's it hoppin'? [it's a. kangaroo joke.]

010

[looking over! scooting over a little to quietly use seb's stomach as a pillow!]

000

[they're laying on their back, arms under their head. looking at the ceiling.]

000

to be honest, i don't think i'm that hungry anymore. [it's not really like looey actually needed to eat in order to keep himself alive. he held it out to sebastian!] if it's not something sweet, i don't think i want it. [he giggled awkwardly, tail doing a nervous wiggle.] ++

100

forgot about the pain part. guess it'd suck if you did that, then. [rummaging through one last pantry, their ears perked up as they found a lunch pail. carefully dragging the metal box out from its corner, they wiped it off and took off the sticky note featured on top of it. reading it out,] ++

100

you're right. but don't sea creatures, like, regenerate their stuff back? you could probably do it infinitely if you do! ...i think i'm describing an ouroboros. [he giggled, still searching! leaving open drawers so he wouldn't look in them again. trying to sniff around, but... didn't work.]

000

[tilting his head up as seb spoke, ears raising to listen to instruction! then like that, he was off! trotting ahead and starring to open drawers and peer in cabinets. looking for any kind of scrap or edible crumb that was left behind. no doubt the blacksite had a lot of things ++

you don't like stairs? i can see why, but... you can glide along them a lot easier than me. [looey giggled behind their fist, trotting after seb. hop, hop... the stairs were a bit much on their small legs, but they elegantly managed. looey tried not to focus on it, but the idea of them ++

100

[standing there awkwardly, they swayed their tail around to occupy themselves from the ever-present feeling of embarrassment.] i'm kinda surprised to hear that. i always kinda thought it'd be hard to be friends with you. we're friends, right? [starting to hop down the steps...]

no no, just you! you're the only genuinely pretty one here, alright? hahaha!! [squirming a little under seb's touch now... he's deflecting way too much!] i mean it! look at you! ...are we there yet... 💦

000

[freezing up at the stare, eyes round as they stared at him with a heated face. shaking their head and hiding their eyes soon after.] it goes both ways i guess... because i don't like staring at myself much either!

sheri 🌙 @extremesmarts.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

[now, looey was certainly never one to take a compliment.] no no, /you/ have a prettier face than me! your hair is so beautiful and so are your scales! [waving his paw around... in a brief moment of confidence only to deflect.] all eyes on you!

i'm not gonna pass out! i would never. [pressing his face into sebastian's coat, huffing in embarrassment. maybe they did feel a little lightheaded but that was irrelevant.] your face is just... j-just! ...pretty, from this angle. i guess..

000

[ears sticking right up, they quickly averted their gaze and gave some awkward giggles. trying to hide their fluster.] no, no, not at all! i was- i was just getting d-dizzy looking anywhere else!! your face helps me- um- not get dizzy? haha-!! [it's kinda hard to escape fluster ++

cookies or burritos... gosh, probably not, but it'd be great because then we can share. [glancing over... watching how sebastian moved. it was interesting how nimble he was despite such a massive lower half to account for. looking back up at him as he moved, admiring him while sebastian wasn't ++
