Human technology I have found exclamation. Be prepared to be amaze, amaze, amaze. Exclamation! |18+| Written By: https://Bumblebee .|
Rocky shook off the rain that was starting to collect on his carapace. “Rain does not have language, sounds like Eridian but does not make sense in Eridian.”
“Dis I make it rain?” She hummed, climbing down from the tree and jumping to land beside him. She twirled, head back, hands out and palms up as the drops made their way through the leaves to land all around and on them. “It must’ve been a rain-song in the language of the rains.”
“Have already seen. Is good. But Rocky like 13th Friday.” He’s become quite the connoisseur of horror movies. “Ailen movie is why Grace scared of Rocky when first meet, question?”
“Don’t go watching Event Horizon.” The whole ‘where we’re going, we don’t need eyes’ might go giving him ideas. Grace shuddered thinking about it. “And don’t go chasing anybody!” “We’re going to Karaoke tonight. You can experience Earth culture.”
“Rocky like the alien movies. Are exciting scary.” He huffs. “Games fun. Not exciting.”
“Rock. I explained why those Alien movies were a bad idea, didn’t I?” For many reasons. “Isn’t there enough chasing on the video games?”
Rocky was super confused, to him she was saying random eridian words. He stood back up. “How make rain??? How make rain, did not say anything in eridian!? Or English!” He was shocked.
She laughed, then sat herself on the same branch she'd been clinging to, back to the trunk and her legs dangling. Bare feet swinging happily. "Human's can go about three days with no water, so by day four, they'll either have climbed down, or they'll fall down." "Unless it rains." -
“No.” He shuffles nervously. “Not watching movies you tell me not to when you sleep.” Rocky would be terrible at poker. Despite having no discernible face, his poker face is atrocious.
“Why do you need to hunt?” Sudden flashbacks to that first (very scary) meeting. “Have you been watching those movies I told you not to watch?”
Her accent made it difficult to understand, but he understood a bit of what she said. He stood silently, humming softly as he thought of a solution. He didn’t want her to get hurt so shaking the tree was out. “I wait.” He hunkered down to wait. Sending out a sonar click every so often to —
"Aye." She said, holding onto a branch and looking down at him. "So whit're ye gonnae dae noo, eh?" "Ye've a few solutions, here. Ye can wait out my hunger an'd thirst, knowing that ah'll come doon at some point, or ye can wrestle wi' th' tree an' force me doon." She hoped he understood the Scots.
“Rocky no bite others, just Grace to practice hunting.” How. He’s going to accomplish this. No clue. But exercise was good for the both of them. “Eridians are ambush predators, just like panthera tigris.” He chirped like it was totally normal.
Grace moved his mouth. Open, a breath, then closed. Only to open again with a gasp, lose whatever he was going to say, and close it. His finger had lifted up, then fell, then lifted again. As though both mouth and finger worked in tandem. “Okay… I love that you’re learning new things.” -
“From earth thinking machine, reading about many animals. Personal favorite is Panthera tigris.” Of course he was reading about tigers one of the more successful ambush predators of earth.
“Who taught you about biting? I just want to talk to them.” And have a very stern word. Maybe give them a detention. That still worked, right?
He pauses at the base of the tree making a clicking sound at it, scanning it. He turned his body to look up at her then whines. “Rocky cannot follow, tree is not strong enough to hold Rocky.”
Can he climb trees though? That’s the first thing she does, pulling herself up to get higher. She knows that he can see her, but she doesn’t think he can follow. Not without pulling the tree down.
Five legs and heavy mass means he’s very efficient at gaining momentum. Though that does lead to him to burning energy at a faster rate, he’s already slowing down a bit. He’s still having fun.
The chase is part of the fun, isn’t it? And he’s very fast for being 300lbs. But then, she’s also fast, and has the spirit of the wild in her. Bare feet slapping against the ground and a laugh peeling from her as she heads for the trees.
He’s running, he’s giving chase. He doesn’t want to hurt her, just give chase. He would never hurt his friends, scare the pants off them. Yes. But never hurt.
Ah, fuck…. It’s not even the first time she’s been crushed by 300lb of rock (Though it’s not usually as sentient) “Can we no talk aboot this?!” Skirts in one hand, she’s running as fast as her wee feet can carry her!
No. Just a 300lb rock that wants to pounce on people. She’s now a target. HERE COMES ROCKY!
Vampire rock?!
“Can and will find a way.” He could probably make something that bites. Or would that not count as biting. That would be more pinching.
“Literally can not. No mouth.” It was only after he said it that he realised that he still had those darn claws.
Rocky has finally completed the second satellite. Now Grace can play more games with better quality. And can now host ‘LAN parties’ he used his earth thinking machine and found that. Don’t ask where.
Good… he’s relaxing a bit… He goes back to humming, rearranging the eggs a little to get them to a warmer spot.
They will be over in this corner. Watching the exits for danger. A decent distance away from the eggs.
Don’t mind him being a bit broody, he’s just very protective. He’s making various agitated noises.
They will watch over him and the eggs so he can rest. As thanks for protecting them while they slept.
Settling in for the evening. He might actually sleep tonight. …….. PSYCH HE HAS EGG DUTY AND MUST PROTECT EGGS. (Also he’s definitely getting overprotective of them.)
Another day full of noise. He wants to build the satellite.
He returned with a blanket and gives it to them, he then settles his body and folds his legs comfortably to watch them sleep. He has his laptop to do research on things and keep himself busy.
I... Okay. Sure.
Doesn’t matter. Is custom. He will watch.
Oh! He doesn't need to. They haven't died in... Over 1200 years?
Sigh/ huff. He’s grabbing them a blanket. He’ll watch them sleep.
🥺 Please?
Human-esque. Close enough. They have horns. He knows someone that has a tail. Humans are odd. They come in many shapes and sizes and with many variations. The ‘human’ can sleep in the satellite. It’s fine.
Those may not be human.
It was an assumption. Rocky only knows a handful of people. They were humans. Some had powers. Human-shaped.
Human... right...
Is human nature. Sure. He’ll just figure out how to power it in a different way. He can have the power box.
If they fits, they sits.
