Vox’s story

this is for @g0dwat3r, couldn’t find the original post to add to it, but here’s your Vox story.

word count: 352

It was a long day for Vox. While it wasn’t unusual for the days at the studio to be endless, today was different. His devices across Hell were still having problems after the public encounter with Alastor, so he couldn’t distract himself with menial tasks. He sighed as it was time to lock up now. He didn’t have anyone to pester, as Velvette and Val were busy doing who knows what. So he thought he’d go to his quietest friend's home. As he walked up to the half-submerged ballroom-sized room in his mansion, he produced a key from his pocket and entered.

“Vark?” Vox called out, looking for the abnormal shark. The shark didn't always have to be in water, in fact he could survive on land despite having gills, but he preferred the water. So Vox sat on the edge of the tank and removed his boots, rolling up his pants where he made sure the wires there were waterproof. He put his feet in the water and called again, a fish from a cooler nearby in hand.

“Vark! I’ve got food.” He called again, then a large form appeared, swimming fast towards the surface. Vox, ready for his antics grabbed the umbrella and opened it to protect his face from the wave of water as he jumped out to the tank and nabbed the fish from the air, landing next to Vox. Despite the threat to his circuitry, he laughed. “Hello to you too.” He reached over and patted his head. Vark leaned into it, licking at Vox’s fingers while swiping his hat. Vox let out a false gasp and grabbed for his hat that Vark had simply put on and stood. Being several heads taller than Vox, it was not an easy reach.

“You ass!” He laughed, reaching for the hat. “Give it back!” The shark did not in fact lean down to give his hat back, in fact, he strutted a circle around Vox tauntingly. The night stretched on until Vox finally forgot the horrors of his day and went to bed to be TV ready the next.

I wonder what kind of food He Cheng feeds to his shark. I don’t think they sell it in a regular pet shop 😭

The Royal Navy's pet shark

It is well known that Sailors had a penchant for unusual pets, but as far as the senior officers of the Royal Navy stationed at Port Royal Jamaica were concerned, this was a very special kind of pet. Port Royal was an important base for the Royal Navy from the middle of the 18th century and therefore always had many warships in port. In order to prevent the ubiquitous desertion, the officers had adopted a shark as a pet. His name was Old Tom and when he was fed by the officers on the ships, he swam his circles around them and kept the men from even considering jumping into the water and fleeing. And since there were often many ships anchored there, Old Tom was also well looked after, which caused displeasure among many sailors, because their swimming guardian was better looked after than they were.

Between the reef and the beach the sharks were swimming, by Archibald Webb 1900s (x)

But Old Tom was abandoned when the navy realised that a shark was not a pet when it ate a young lad from a sugar farm. And all that was found was his watch. Whether it was really Old Tom or another shark, or whether a man had a hand in it first and then disposed of the young lad via the sharks is not clear, but since then there has been no more shark serving as a pet for the navy.
