“Is very cool, but Rocky did not do much. Just did math and build.”

“In a way yes. Did help. Grace did the science. Grace is micro-biologist. Rocky is just engineer. Grace is better with science, Rocky good at math.”

“Rocky is an engineer, we build space crafts for interstellar voyages.” He says as if that’s something totally normal.

“Agree, agree, agree.” He nods excitedly.

He’s shaking as he tries to lift himself up. “Just fine… don’t worry.”

“Rocky is fine Is-A-Bell.” He shifts to try and get back up.

He rumbles softer than before, he was trying to fight the need to rest. “Rocky.. fine… just need a minute….”

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 17h

He just rumbles tiredly, he’s exhausted. But Grace was safe. (For now. Unless he blows up the house or something.)

The things he does for Grace…. He’s gonna grow grey deposits on his carapace at this rate.

—and while he wanted to run away and scream at the top of his vents and just let it all out. He couldn’t. He didn’t want to worry anyone or hurt anyone. He settles in a corner of the room and just does his best to be small and silent. He waited til someone would notice. ~End.

—was to give to others. He’d never openly complain about any of his feelings. His carapace is made of minerals. But his mind is made of Eridian steel. He just kept it to himself, he would continue to make Grace and everyone else happy. That was the cost of love… Being alone changes you.. —

—do science, take care of Grace. Being home… changed everything. He hated the change to his core. He just wanted to bottle Grace up and keep him safe, safe, safe. All to himself. Why couldn’t he be a little selfish for once. All he ever did was give, give, give. His time, energy, his very being—

—mind. It tormented him that he was in charge of Grace, but also couldn’t be because Grace could ultimately take care of himself. But he still felt like a mother hen, a human term he had stumbled upon. He just wanted to be needed… just like back on Mary… he had purpose.. repair the ship —

—world was too loud and too vast. And now that Rocky could visit earth with the use of portal technology. It was too much but also still not enough. It was confusing to say the least. He felt overly clingy with Grace, he knew Grace would never tell him to leave. But that thought was always in his—

Four years…. That was a blip in the face of the fourth he had spent alone. So why did he still feel alone… As much as both he and Grace hated the slow decay of those four years, (mostly Grace but Rocky struggled as well), Rocky almost wishes they could go back to that… Just the two of them… The—

“Rocky understand, is normal thing. Rocky just like making friends.” He nodded and offered her a smile. He wasn’t going to take it personal.

“No, because you are a new person to meet and I like you.” Rocky really doesn’t have a frame of reliable reference when it comes to people. Earth is such a strange place.

He nods happily and hums to himself, he was happy to meet new interesting friends. “You are friend, and Rocky like new friend.”

“Probably best to not experiment.” He nods and pulls back, he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. At least not more than she probably already was. In this form it’s hard to hear people’s heart beats or breathing. That usually how he gauges it.

He excitedly continued to look at her, his eyes just so full of curiosity. “Probably do not eat Rocky, Rocky blood is mercury. Not safe. Very toxic, toxic, toxic to humans.” He hadn’t really asked Jude if he had blood or if he still had mercury as his blood. Maybe he’ll ask later.

Rocky pressed into his hand softly with a hum. “Is good to have conversation with Winnie.”

000

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Rocky nodded and wandered over to Grace, hearing his tone change from the strict teacher voice to a much calmer tone. He chittered and clicked as he nudged Grace softly. “Is good Winnie bring food, Rocky bring more.”

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Rocky hummed and squeaked. “Rocky had human food, was also panicking… also hasn’t slept in four days.” Pit kettle. Or however that saying goes. “Rocky replace all food in fridge.”

000

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“Winnie very smart, know a lot about things Rocky does not know.” His tone was low and soft, he hadn’t meant to upset Grace. He was just trying to keep Grace alive. “Rocky sorry….. panicked…. Rocky just trying to keep Grace safe and alive…”

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Rocky grumbled and rumbled. “Was rush, Grace was dying and sick, sick, sick. Eridian scientists had to do something. They did not realize prions were serious. Rocky yelled at them.” He’s doing his best to be small.

000

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

He brought a new door to replace the one he destroyed before he passed out. But he’s waking up, he’s sluggishly moving around.

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

He took a nap. Nothing like a panic induced cleaning session to finally prompt him to sleep.

He got very close to inspect the pointed fangs he’s in awe and excited. “Rocky does not have those! Is meant for puncturing flesh to drink blood?” He was getting the general idea of how they functioned. He was just circling her, he was just curious non-threatening. “Amaze, amaze, amaze!”

Kitchen cleaned. ✅ Me-burgers thrown out. ✅ Eridian science team told about prions.✅ New door made. ✅ His legs are shaking as he crashes to the floor in exhaustion.

ᖇOᑕKY (Halloween) @rockinthestars.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

He’ll apologize later. He needs to take care of Grace. Step one get rid of all the me-burgers in the fridge. Step two deep clean EVERYTHING. Step three apologize to Grace for being stupid and not thinking about prions. Step four. Scold Grace for not telling him about prions.

He wasn’t even going to make a comment, he was running. Full on galloping up the beach and steps. And the door is off its hinges and actually broken now. (He’ll fix it later.) rip door.
