#dizzy's writing

[octo-arts]

Meet Aggie! A digital clone of Marina made to help in the Memverse but became sentient. Acts mischievous at times, but mainly loves communicating with the other sentient programs to come out from the Memverse including Sand.

(A lot of her 2nd outfit is based heavily off Tron. Tried to make the back give a similar effect of a spine like how jelletons look like skeletons.)

Prompt: 41! Comfort Food

While smaller than the last, this prompt I really enjoyed writing! It follows a bit of Steel’s own story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moments of silence were not unusual to the stoic squid that always wore a mask.

Steel never found herself speaking out to the emptiness of her apartment in an effort to provide some sound. The old seahorse couple who lived above were too small to make any loud stomping. Below, a family of three jellyfish and their lobster daughter would never make a sound loud enough to go through the walls. Even her own apartment never had a voice as the faucets never leaked, and the boards didn't creak.

Sitting down at the small table she owned, she set down a box decorated with painted flora. A note rested on top which she moved aside in order to open the box. Puffs of steam flew out from the stack of pupusas that rested inside. 

A gift of her own mother's cooking for getting through one year of college.

She took off her mask, and gently pressed her hand against the rubbery scar that remained of her mouth. Any hope that it would heal or grow back was lost years ago. For now, all she could do was ignore the pain whenever she ate.

Bringing up one pupusa, she noticed immediately the small dents made from her mother. Steel couldn't help but give a small sigh. She would have to tell her mother later to work less since it was evident her mother had made them in a tired state.

With a shake of her head she took a bite. Closing her eyes and letting herself find comfort in the taste of home.
