Hiya! Was hoping to learn more about your fish! 12 + 18 for Coquina and 8, 10 and 20 for Basalt? I loved reading about Basalt’s dynamic with the founders and their embroidery! Excited to know more about them! :}

HIII IM SO SORRY i mean tto answer this AGES AGO and work just swallowed me whole

okay okay fishes!! aaaah theses r really good ones sjdsf

12. What is Coquina’s favorite food or dish?

Mkay so Coquina would probably tell you it depends on your definition of food. In terms of bug snacks, they favour grasshoppers the most - just the right amount of crunch and they’re really cool bugs! Now, for a favourite dish, Coquina would probably say salty grilled fish with herbs! They’re a big fan of the crispy texture the scales gain, and the mix of it with the softer meat. Their most favourite is the way rutile makes it, with a little sap syrup cooked in with gives it just a tinge of sweetness. Plus Coquina likes watching Spinel fish, and they know fishes get the same snacks as them, so they’ve got respect for em.

18. How does Coquina approach problem solving? Do they try to think through the problem, attempt to brute force the issue, or stumble across solutions accidentally?

Ooooh that’s a rlly good one!! Coquina definitely goes more the brute force way with most issues, which often hast them accidentally stumbling across solutions. They actually could think through their problems pretty easily, but they entirely lack the impulse control for it lol. They rather try things and see how it comes out than try to predict chains of reaction to find a solution. When they can’t manage to solve a problem, they trust Tor wholeheartedly to be able to think up a solution, given Tor’s way better at it than them anyway lol.

8. Does Basalt wear something other than the canon outfit/space suit?

Yes!!! I’ve actually gotta update Basalt’s design lmao, but out of their space suit they favor wide and baggy pants and sleeveless tops! They enjoy mending and customizing their clothes, mostly with embroidery but also with patches of various shapes and patterns. They prefer to prioritize comfort and ease of movement for day to day life, and usually keep all their tools and things in a big crossbody bag that is terrible to sort through (and terrible for their back too… rip).

10. Does Basalt have any piercings or tattoos? If so, what and where?

They do!! Basalt has two earrings in their right ear and one in their left, little orange hoops, which mostly matches gabbro’s earrings! Gabbro DOES have two more in their left ear, but basalt’s left ear got ripped up quite a bit in a childhood accident and they can’t pierce the remaining scar tissue really well.

They’ve also got a tattoo on the inner side of their right arm, the nomai word for ‘fish’, of which Hal has a matching one! Basalt very much enjoys having permanent reminders of the people they hold close, especially post loop.

20. What is Basalt’s favorite planet?

I think Basalt’s is probably Brittle Hollow, simply for how many discoveries there are to make there!! One of their favourite places to watch the supernova is in the Southern observatory, in which they’ll also drag gabbro every once in a while. (One day, they’ll manage to convince riebeck. One day) They also looove fooling around with the gravitational pull of the black hole, they would spend loops back to back just jumping over it and flinging themselves across the inner crust or the planet (to various amounts of bodily harm).

They also have a special place in their heart for the attlerock, given it’s Esker’s moon! It was their first stop, and one of their most frequent through the loops and after.

thank you so much for asking abt my fishes!!
