iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

There's no way it's this surface level, right? Tell me you didn't just lead me on yo get me all riled up, right?

100

Well then, I'll keep the canvas nice and clean for you whenever you're ready. I'm sure you'll do great. *he turns his arm over to expose his palm and underarm* You have access to most of this canvas for whatever you want. Minus the obvious areas.

010

Well.. *he slips out of his jacket and rolls up his sleeves before placing his hands underneath hers.* Why don't you doodle on me? Give me some inspiration. I'd ask you to do the tattooing, but I'm not too sure you'd be down for that... and i don't want to spill my ichor all over you.

100

Okay well obviously I've heard of the villain. I'm just trying to look deeper into it. I feel so dense.

100

"Sure, I can make them pretty. But unless I fold them down, they'll undoubtedly be a hazard to the guests." He ran his thumb along the shimmering crack along the wing, mending it with a huff. "I just want to stand out, you know? It's my first celebration as a God."

000

"My.. mortal problem? My immortality was never at risk."

000

You're a villainess, Hécate. This is treason, you must know.

100

I suppose not. But there's no harm in contemplating it. Now I'm curious.. how steady are your hands?

100

He winced as her touch graced his hand. He took a solemn breath before chuckling at her words. "I think the wings won. I wanted to make a spectacle out of my abilities. To make something beautiful. These wings were that something. But they just feel like a waste of time and energy now."

100

He turns quickly to face her, covering his injured hand while looking up to her. "Nike! I- uh.. nothing. I was just fighting with these damned wings. Making them move without breaking is such a hassle."

100

Snowdrop? Figures you'd choose a flower for me. I love it..

000

"That's.. certainly feasible.. I'll have to do some more research into the structure of wings. They need to look natural after all. Thank you, Persephone. I appreciate it."

000

"Well... theoretically, yes. If I could just make them generate lift, then he could fly too." He turns the body around, tracing a finger along the shoulder blades. His fingertip carved into its back where wings would sprout.

000

Maybe we can use popsicle behind closed doors and keep snowball for the public. Also, what implications does snowball have?

000

Oh, I think i simply must know your reasoning.

100

"How cute. Someone has to cool off that temper of yours."

000

"Thank you. You're going to make us blush if you keep it up" He and the mannequin opened their hands and brought it to their faces. "But in all seriousness. I need to find a way to see through them. Then, they would be perfect for defense. He's my pride and joy, though."

100

I- ah.... is there a reason you changed from snowball? I feel like there's more to popsicle. 😳

100

He closes his hand, causing the mannequin to lock fingers with the Embodiement of Death's. "It's all application. I can control ice. If I can move a snowflake through the air, all it takes is time and effort to move a finger. Just hinges and balls. Like a puppet.. Do you like it?"

100

I suppose. I'm gonna have to reevaluate what suits me now that I'm a God and all that. Something to think on. And you'd have to go pretty low against me to make me hate you. I'd stand by you for most things. I have my limits, but I trust you do too.

100

Nope, not yet. I've always wanted to get some but never had a good reason or idea. I've actually considered getting a brand instead of ink. And I get it. Matching tattoos can be iffy. The connotation can get a little shaky.

100

Sipping his morning coffee while tweaking his mannequin's hands.

000

I think a tattoo would suit me well. But I also think a few more scars would make me seem a bit more threatening. Also, matching tattoos sounds fun.

100

What's another scar? At this point, my scars are going to start matching your tattoos.

100

❄ I have returned. I apologize for my absence. Work has been super hectic recently ;-;

He chuckled as he wiped a small film of sweat from his brow. "Thank you, Thanatos. It's still a work in progress. But I can show you what I've got." He held up a palm and waved to the hovering God, watching as the mannequin mirrored his movements.

100

He rests his head into her shoulder as his arms drape around her waist. "I don't know... I'm just tired, I guess." He lets out a sigh as he squeezes his arms around her for a moment. "I think I've been evading confronting my own issues. I just get irritable when I'm left to my own devices."

000

❅Boreas❅ @coldnorthwind.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

He places the dagger back into his belt as he closes the book, turning to her. "Little man? That's awfully bold. The only time you're taller than me is when I'm on my knees."

000

❅Boreas❅ @coldnorthwind.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Squares up to the reader, fists ready. "Run it, coward."

000

❅Boreas❅ @coldnorthwind.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

He looks up from his book to the wall in front of his desk while he readies a knife "Never a dull moment.. who's got the nerve to try me today?"

000

"I recognize that.. I just never really had anything worth bothering you over. I just forget my worries with you sometimes."

000

"I appreciate that, but most of the issues I have get solved by getting my mind off of them. You already help far more than you realize. But I thank you, dear. I just hope that i can lift your mood as well."

100

I don't think I can just let it go.. I'd rather you get mad at me than let your painful ideas go unrecognized. I believe you.. but you must understand that i can't hate you either. I will stand by your side for the rest of my eternity. And don't be afraid to lean on me. It's what I'm here for.

100

Such wanton destruction and waste. He reached out with a cautious hand, placing it onto her shoulder. "Sylvie, is this what's to become of my world? Our world? Who are you, really?" He posed the question as he pulled back onto her shoulder with light pressure.

000

"Sylvie.. what is this place? This looks like hell.." He would follow close behind her. Each step he took was accompanied by a glance at whatever caught his eyes. He was intimidated by what he saw but found himself growing fascinated by the fact that someone could look so callous in the face of +

100

No. I won't forget it. What you're feeling absolutely matters and shouldn't go unaddressed. I would rather you be upset with me than be upset with yourself, honestly. For reasons I won't get into right now. But tell me what's got you so upset with yourself. It's not your mortality, is it?

100

Darling... Hécate.. I could never hate you. I never want you to feel afraid to talk to me. Im sorry that I made you feel that way, my love.

100

ValidConcernButUnfoundedIAdoreYouAndNothingWillChangeThat

100

Ouch. What have I done to draw your ire?

100

It's not that I want to see it burn. I just recognized that it was inevitable. Someone would eventually try you, and now they shall reap what they sew.

100

To see if there was anything behind the door. Finally coming back to her, he would follow her lead towards the mysterious passageway.

000

His eyes darted back and forth between the Goddess and the time door several times before they finally settled onto her. "What.. what is this? Obviously, it's a door. Save your breath on that one. But how did it get here.. and where does it lead?" He paced around the side of the door, checking +

100

He took a deep breath as shaky hands carefully corrected the mannequin's posture. "I'm exploring my limits. Our last talk got me thinking.. What if I created every ball joint and bone in the human body out of ice. I want to create a double."

100

"Im just glad I don't take commission like you. If you ever need someone to cool your metals, you know who to ask."

010

He was sculpting a mannequin of himself out of ice, carefully working a shoulder joint. "Ch-ch-ch gentleeee- AH WHAT THE-" He jumps up and wraps his arms around the mannequin, keeping it from falling. "Than... I could have been doing literally anything.. please knock next time."
