“She’s here! I think we’re going with Chroma for her name, suits her right?”

Chroma is a goblin shark!

Alert » . . . baby??????

» When Shok.Wav had heard Dad mention in passing that another shark would be joining them, there had been an immediate and angry crackle through his systems.

He was enough. It was already plenty to share with the other sharks. Did Dad not love Shok.Wav enough? Surely Shok.Wav would perish of loneliness! It was horrible! This tank was a nightmare!

Except that turned out to be complete junk data. Shok.Wav was fascinated. Camera zooming in to stare at what was undeniably just baby. «

Update » SHOK.WAV / baby.shark

» Yes. This was Shok.Wav's baby. Very clearly. «

“Oh I just knew you’d like your new baby sister, Shokky! Isn’t she a cutie? A perfect addition to our family!”

Rejected Input » append: [ 'sister ' ] / my baby MINE

» Everything else that Dad said was right, of course, but this was Shok.Wav's baby. He drifted forward, moving to coil around his baby pointedly. «

“Oh Shokky you are so cute! You know that Chroma is daddy’s baby though, just like you are~”

» Generally, Shok.Wav accepted every word that Daddy said as gospel. And in this case, there was no reason not to accept that Chroma was also Daddy's baby. It was just that Chroma was also Shok.Wav's baby. «

Log » moth.tgt identified as Vox / Partners / Vees / VALENTINO.moth . . . dismissing alert

» Sure. VALENTINO.moth was Daddy's toy, filed neatly under Partners. But Shok.Wav had also seen the moth licking at Dad's screen in his office, taste-testing! The way they'd roll across Father's bed sometimes, the electrical feedback sound from his Dad sounding like a gut-punch, all groans and whines.

And Dad had reassured Shok.Wav! Insisted he enjoyed whatever input-output game Daddy played with VALENTINO.moth behind closed doors.

But now Shok.Wav knew better. Val was trying to eat Dad! «

Shock.wav, no! *Vox is trying his best not to smile, but he is failing miserably, laughing so hard that he needs to lean on the doorway not to collapse on the floor* No biting! Valentino is not a threat! He doesn't actually try to eat me. He just used a stupid human expression for... erm, affection, because he is too horny for his own good. Am I right, Val? *he sounds way too pleased with the predicament his lover got himself into* Are you gonna stop using expressions this cursed?

@valentinomothdaddy

Alert » Daddy: [ ' Sho-k.Wav no! No biting! ' ]

» Shok.Wav came to such a sudden stop, that the shark swerved into a wall. Tumbling, tail knocking all around the room, Shok.Wav tuned his frequencies into his Father.

Laughter, hard and breathless, pleased, even as Daddy explained that Valentino was just stupid, but not a threat. And not trying to eat Dad.

Dislodging himself from the wall, which was probably not important, Shok.Wav swam over to Dad and nosed at his side. Plaintively, the shark cast his playback to Daddy- to every screen in the room- «

Playback » val_daddy_decaptitate.mp4

» The video was grainy, targeting, bubbling with static. Gold tipped nails tight on Father's screen. Pulling. Prying. A heel braced to the chest, before Dad's head tore away from his body, cables and blood popping free.

Shok.Wav whined at a frequency inaudible to most. Butted his nose into Father's side and cast a nasty look towards Valentino. That moth definitely still planned to eat Dad. Fucker. «

@valentinomothdaddy @voxpopulidei

Thank fuck you’re here! Alright I’ll be careful around him! But Velvette started it!

He looked guilty, turning away when the screens began to play the video of him ripping his lover’s head off on loop. He crossed both sets of arms, rubbing them. Fuck he hated being reminded of what happened

Vox visibly frowns at the video, involuntary touching his neck at the place, where it's connected to the screen. He doesn't like being reminded of that moment any more than Val does. But one look at Valentino makes his facial expression soften.

"Oh, Shockie," he purrs in a calming voice, petting Shock.wav's on his snout as gently as possible (it's shark's most tender place, after all!). "It was a one time thing. Do you remember that Daddy changes his screen from time to time to update or fix it? That was something like that. Valentino needed to remove my head temporary to fix it," this is directed at Val as much as it is at Shock.wav. "That was an emergency"

This is the closest thing to "Val did nothing wrong" that Vox is physically capable of saying. However, even that is too much, so he adds with a smirk:

"In fact, Shock.wav, Valentino is so non-threatening and nice to me lately, that maybe you should change his name in your log to Mommy. It doesn't mean that you need to listen to his every command, but you can bother him for snacks twice as much"

@shkwav @valentinomothdaddy

» Shok.Wav shifted, moving to curl the full bulk of his body around Daddy. The behemoth of biomechanic monster, creating a halo around his Father, in unholy protection. All the whilst his servomotors and hydraulics hissed and growled, bass-like in the belly of the beast.

Even the soothing touch of claws to Shok.Wav's snout, the familiar feeling of claws clinking on metal doesn't ebb the current of angry fear in the animal.

Of course: his Father is always right. Shok.Wav's trust in Dad runs deep and cavernous. If he was told 2 + 2 = 5, then Shok.Wav would integrate the update.

And it is very plausible, because Dad is repaired, fixed once again. His Daddy is okay. Safe. Status uninjured. Everything is okay.

However, Shok.Wav trusts Dad, but he does not trust Valentino.moth and even as the growls fade, the red light is still fixed on the moth. Still watching. Just in case. A warning like a lighthouse. «

» Shoving onto Daddy's lap, Shok.Wav was delighted to find he fit perfectly (mostly, kinda, his snout anyway). Wriggling hard into Dad's middle, Shok.Wav pushed the rolling chair back in his enthusiasm, tail thwacking left and right excitedly. «

Query » input meanies.meat -> SHOK.WAV / mouth !

» Shok.Wav suggested a remarkably simple solution to Father's problems. He could deal with these problems digestively, and then they'd never bother Daddy again. «

"Eat them?" He chuckles, "You want to eat the meanies huh? Gobble 'em up all gone?"

He hums patting his Fish bot on the head

"Wwweeellll....maybe for a treat." He muses, " Can't be feeding you too much junk food, wouldn't wanna give you a stomach ache."

» Shok.Wav peeked up from Daddy's lap, teeth shining bright in his mouth. The teeth scraped over one another, clinking as the shark just barely parted his jaws. Grinning up at Dad.

And bloodlust flared enthusiastically in the Shark's signal. «

» Settling into the patting, Shok.Wav's tail gave a pleased swish, before curling itself around Daddy, around his chair, around desk. The shark getting comfortable. «

Input » junk.food junk.food junk.food junk.food

» Shok.Wav's snout pushed insistently into Dad's claws, nudging into the pat pat. Whilst Dad was clever, smart enough to know for certain what Shok.Wav need worry about, there was still an agitation junking the shark's data.

A sense of unease that made the shark's tail whip and flick, and a resonant hum growl from his chest. «

Update » Guard_shark.seq initiating . . .

» Shok.Wav's tail had been flicking, agitation bubbling under his dermis layer like an electric current. However, at the steady, sharp stroke of Daddy's claws, ease circuited through the shark.

Even in the spark of a pet's intellect, Shok.Wav had experienced the rage and shriek of anticipated loss. Of possibly losing what was dear to him. And now he was not convinced to let what he loved out of the protective circle of his own body, a shield placed between Father and Hell, Heaven, whatever waited in between. «

» Very few sinners would step in front of an extremely large demon shark, so Shok.Wav stopped as well. Confused, as he ran an assessing look over the unknown.sinner. Absorbing the direct the tone she took with him, the irate posture. The question put to him like Shok.Wav had done something he shouldn't have? And wasn't it obvious why he was here? He was hungie. «

"Are you hungry, dear? well why didn't ya say so! You can't just come rushing in here, hon! it aint all that polite!"

"Being polite means you don't intrude on other people's peace without askin'" she clarifies, her tone softening a bit. He's just a big guppy.

» Shok.Wav continued to slowly, but gradually widen the circle, surprised to find the tank seemed to simply keep going... going... going... The shark came back up the shoreline, gazing at the proffered hand as it came into focus. »

» He had been midway between thrashing and thumping his tail against the sodden sand, sending up a flush of water. However, Shok.Wav took a moment to slowly widen his mouth- normally, he put strange new things in his mouth to study them, but there was something about this unknown.???.err.DETECt-t-ed that was different.

Shok.Wav compromised, sticking out his tongue to lick the offered hand instead. «

Query » where is SHOK.WAV??

Lilith was a bit surprised that the creature licked her hand, but she did not retreat at all. She started reading the message that floated above the fish head with curiosity. Is that new hell technology?

"Shock.wav...is that your name, little fish? You seem lost..."

She touched his side with glentleness.

"This is Heaven. Well, the edge of Heaven. If you are from Hell, you must have travelled quite a lot to end up up here... My name is Lilith."

» From Shok.Wav's speakers, a jaunty piano instrumental began playing with a wistful edge to it. A lonely, melancholy tune, as the shark visibly drooped in the water...

If this was Heaven, then where... was his Daddy? Why was Shok.Wav alone...? «

Query » need daddy plz

Lilith was so surprised at hearing the sudden song coming from the big fish that she took a step back, listening.

She didn't understand a thing of the song. ("It seems like the singers wanted to 'get up there'"), but she thought long and hard about what the shark wanted to communicate.

"Is the one who is singing... Your daddy?"

There were others singing, too, but Lilith trusted the shark was smart enough to choose a song with the main singer as his daddy.

"I dont recognize it... But... If he wanted to 'come up', then he must be from Hell, isn't he?"

» Shok.Wav somewhat understood the concept of a nod - though it had taken him long weeks to really understand it. It was much clearer, feeling Father's signal offer an affirmative. But, having learned nod.mov, Shok.Wav nodded at unknown.??er-er-er. The speakers picked up louder, audio isolating only to Father's voice.

Oh but, come up. Up there. Shok.Wav understood 3D orientation. Perking up, the shark gazed at unknown.OBJECTISCORRUPTeddd and began demanding in a set of logic if-thens: «

Query » Heaven = up there =/= hell -> hell =/= up there -> = down there??? -> Father = down there???

Lilith's eyes filled with worry at seeing the poor animal begin to stress out because of confusion. She started to caress his side of the head once more, trying to calm him down.

"Yes, you are understanding it well."

At least, she hoped her instincts were right. Because if this turned out to be a pet of Heaven, she would have to answer so many questions...

"I can take you down there so that you can go back to your father... But you have to keep the secret."

Luckily, animals couldn't be sinners, so they could travel back and forth between Heaven and Hell as they wanted.

» Shok.Wav was no longer simply perked up, but was now in open celebration, speakers growing louder as the shark leapt clear of the water, flipping backwards, only to swim up to unknown.???.lady and proceed to press his snout into her caressing hand.

It was hard to explain the feeling that surrounded her. Like a calm, cradling ocean; the memory Father's arms around Shok.Wav when he was new to existence; the pretty singing of his Dad's signal. She felt safe, innately comforting to Shok.Wav.

He liked her. «

Lilith let out a laugh at seeing the shark dog being overly excited.

"Calm down, calm down." She caressed the gills on the side of his head, gently, to get him to settled down. She remember doing the same with Rizzle and Dazzle when they got too worked up about something.

"Let's see if I still remember how to do this." With her eyes closed in concentration, Lilith stretched out her arms and let pure energy that took the shape of musical notes left her fingertips.

After a few moments, a portal to Hell opened up before the two of them. The place was probably unfamiliar, as she didn't know where the shark puppy had come from, but she hoped he still recognized something to find his home.

"I hope you don't mind I go with you. I don't want to leave you alone until you find your way back."

Her appeareance know had a bit of a demon-like form, as horns had grown out of her head because of the effort.

» Shok.Wav felt the hand brush past his jaw-hinge, along his vents, and wriggled his snout into the sensation. It wasn't that the shark did not enjoy petting, but rather that, apart from Dad, Shok.Wav tolerated little touch.

However, this unclassifiable person fell neither into categories of prey, nor enemy. Instead, Shok.Wav got gentle pets- so different from Daddy's claws - and Shok.Wav squirmed in the surf like a young eel in a wet sock. «

Log » Mood processor output; ecsSstatic

» Not especially calmer, but at least no longer gamboling in the waves, Shok.Wav began recording Lilith's portal summoning with curiosity, eye following the coalescing magic, tasting the readings with fascination.

Lilith looked at the big shark expectantly, giving him a light pat on the side to reassure them. "It's safe, dont worry."

She saw the question about who Lilith was, but she ignored it for the sake of not confusing the poor boy (and for her own benefit, too. She didn't want many people to know The Former Queen of Hell was still alive and moving).

With a glanze, she saw the shark unmoving, like it was listening to something. Searching for something. "Did you find your Father, boy?"

She stepped inside the portal, still using energy to maintain it until the animal got through.

Will he fit in, though...?

» Without answers, Shok.Wav was unable to define her, or her origin point, but it seemed unimportant to a shark. Instead, what had caught the shark's focus like a hook in a mouth, was the remnant signal humming past the portal. «
