iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've seen the numbers, I know who's being treated fairly and who's being treated generously, and you are top of the generous list, okay? So I don't *think* I know.

Kitty scowls at Monday, “that's the latch. Just turn that metal thing— that part. It's just stiff 'cause it's cold. And what the hell is that supposed to mean, my type? My type? You don't know the first thing about my type.” Long-legged dancers. Men with shoulders like mountains...

“He's *not* my man. Maybe some day I'll meet a man who's good enough for me but it ain't happened yet,” she flaps a hand at him in annoyance and turns to fetch him a fresh cup of coffee, something that's always on hand at Kitty's place in the evening it seems, as he has his cup almost instantly.

Kitty's eyebrows go up. She's not a good liar, but she's getting better every day with all the practice she's putting in. “My man?” incredulous, but in a laughing-about-it fashion, because it's so preposterous, he can't mean— “You *don't* mean Dusty.”

“If you're worried about her well-being you're welcome to keep her yourself,” irritation aimed at Valerie, because of her they're not alone, “can I convince you to have a coffee while you're here? You came all this way.”

100

Our supply can't always meet demand, you know that, that's the nature of having so many business partners such as yourself. The next delivery will more than make up for any missing cargo. You have my word.

000

( times like this she wished she smoked, so as to have something to do with her hands besides stuffing them into her pockets to hide the sweat on her palms. ) you're killing me.

000

Kitty gives him a disappointed look, the sort of pout a young woman like her oughtn't give a man of Frank's age. “And here I was beginning to think you'd forgotten all about that old thing. I was gonna pawn it, but I figured who'd take it?”

100

( hands up. ) No, sorry, I mostly work with men, guess it's become a bad habit. You take all the time in the world.

“Thank you,” she says, not even bothering to roll her eyes for once. Kitty must be in a good mood, but that's not why she smiles when she answers the door. “Monday on a *Friday*. What a pleasant interruption. Come in? It's just us.”

100

“Just maybe, he says. Always *so* surly,” another squeeze just to hurt him a little.

Miners have it rough out there.

“I'm the one tryna help! You don't want me to kiss it better? 'Cause I was *gonna*...” trailing off. At least this one time, her irritation was put on.

@swordsandstones.bsky.social Back at her place, just them. Hands on his shoulders post shower, massaging as best she can. “How's that? Still aches?”

One day she'll be able to do all this *without* having to rely on anyone else and it'll be so fucking sweet.

Kitty Banks @mskittybanks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

( she lets a flash of irritation show. ) I think we're getting off topic.

000

What talking thing? Don't do this to me— what's off-putting? I'm not off-putting.

000

You said off-putting! I can be silent, you know. And if I'm in my seat watching a stage I'm not gonna shout at anyone! That would be uncouth.

000

( swallows. ) Talking... Thing? What do you mean by that?

000

And watch and watch and watch.

000

I don't doubt it! You're a firecracker. I couldn't keep up. Fine by me, though. I prefer to watch anyway.

000

You know what? No more talking.

000

Stupid kid. Stupid fucking kid.

010

( slaps her and snatches it back. ) Give me that.

000

( handing her the bag suddenly. ) Hold this.

000

Greenie, one more dumb question out of your mouth and I'm gonna slap you.

000

So why would I ask you to do something that he can do way better?

000

It's not heavy. If it was, k. would be carrying it for me.

000

Know your place, greenie. Only I may hold the bag.

000

Severed heads. You sure we're not being tailed?

Kitty Banks @mskittybanks.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

So long as nobody asks what's in the bag this should all go down smooth as syrup...

000

Damn, that broad's got a *huge* set on her.

Living in a cold, cruel, pool-less world (the moon) here.

Kitty Banks @mskittybanks.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I wish [REDACTED] loved me more than anything in the fucking world...

000

You started asking questions! Don't pin this whole thing on me.

000

She's got to stop bringing him up.

000

He was relevant to the conversation! I didn't bring him up, I just said he'd be jealous.

000

About my relationship with my colleague.

000

Sure? It just felt like you were trying to say something.
