iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

[A friend, Thursday, usually talks for me when I'm working.]

Happy... It hit him for a moment. How often was he really happy? There was a hesitation. 'You and Rex make me happy.'

000

There was a pause. He looked at her, very confused but as a medic, also concerned. Health also covered mental health, after all.

020

He didn't want to. He really didn't. But if another cryptid saw him, Oz would rather be there. And it was looking like Walker was trying. Not while Bernard was his guest! That meant he wasn't an intruder... The howler ducked in quickly. Tweezers, needles, alcohol swabs, medical tap, bandages.+

He gave a soft laugh as he kept signing. [It's nice when someone understands.]

000

The smile was visible in Oz's eyes. It always made him happy and relaxed when someone could under him signing.

More hesitation before signing [thank you]. It was a sign most could recognize so was easier than writing it.

000

That made Oz happier, knowing Mike was that happy.

000

Oz got a bit embarrassed, blushing just slightly. 'Not sure how she'd feel about it.'

000

He gave a nod, taking the moment to write, trying not to pull back too far. 'You're glowing.'

000

He paused, looking himself over. Actually...didn't feel too bad in this!

000

He was startled. Being hugged was very new to him. Oz wrote slowly, trying to show her when he was done. 'Don't remember before. Don't mind being undead. Just tired.'

In response, he pulled up a sleeve of his jumpsuit. It showed not just stitches but enchanted tattoos. 'Planned.'

He shook his head at both. 'Revived by a witch. My boss at the clinic.'

Oz gave another soft laugh. Just...so cute...

000

There was a pause from being about to walk. Well, she asked faster than most but it was actually welcomed. Get it out of the way. 'Don't trust myself not to bite. Zombie.'

A smile...and a bit of a blush at being called that.

000

Oz blinked at the glow, curious but in no position to ask about it. No...he'd rather keep enjoying the hug.

000

There was a hesitation. He'd have to break the hug to ask. Oz did it very slowly, reluctant to before writing. 'Are you okay?'

Another soft laugh at that. It wasn't bothering him. He'd ask when Shocker could talk.

000

A soft laugh came from him. He didn't mind but did loosen his hold just enough if Shocker wanted to move.

000

The howler gave a soft laugh, not minding at all. It was cute to him.

000

Oz keeps holding him close, gently rubbing his back.

000

He's good at picking up nonverbal cues, hugging Shocker.

000

He gave a slow nod, thinking. 'If you stay, need to find you a place.'

030

Damn. He was blushing again, giving a shy laugh.

000

Oz paused for a moment. No. No. Claim down. She wasn't related to Edith. Clearly not related to Edith. 'We got demons. Sorceress more a title here but we have witches.'

An even brighter smile, it visible in his eyes as he gave a nod. 'You are to me.'

000

Oh...did he upset him? 'To be fair, I don't usually.'

000

//Forgot to say all good. I could have worded that better. Got too used to people knowing.

There was a nod before he wrote again, showing it to her. 'You're in Longhope. Cryptid city.'

He gave another laugh. So cute...

000

Oz raised an eyebrow, VERY confused. Hadn't she just reacted to what he wrote down? Talking wasn't something he did, writing in the notebook to communicate.

A were? He gave a nod, looking her over for a moment before pulling out his notebook to write. 'Oz. Are you okay?' The net didn't seem to be made of something too harmful. Maybe it was a new guy or one of the tourists that would sometimes hike in the forest? At least she was safe.

He gave a soft laugh. Oh, he had been teasing.

000

'You can compliment me but I can't compliment you?'

000

Oz paused, slowly shaking his head.

000

There was a paused, shaking his head and then nodding. No danger, but monsters. It was what he could communicate since he got the hint on what Bernie was trying to do. Thankfully, fear of Oz's boss had most people avoiding looking at him and thus the man walking with him.+

He gave a shy laugh at that. 'Still adorable.'

000

Oz was still blushing. 'You are the first to talk to me like this.'

000

He gave a slow nod. 'Not used to it.'
