What he didn't expect, was to end up in front of a capsule machine owned by Zoo Corp.

Skipper shuffles in place, before scooping up whatever animals happened to be at his feet, and not giving much effort beyond that.

Barley instantly snaps out of his trance upon seeing Bones. He suddenly feels a ray of hope. Bones was his hero. They would know what to do.

...Bones... finally able to slide over to the front of the gachapon machine, uses their uncomfortable pause to scrutinize their assailant.
Oilslick wiring. Parasocial obsession. The logo.

Bones pauses frequently, waiting for a good moment to interject as the mass of wires gushes.

All the people who had critiqued him before were wrong. He knows it. He nearly gave up on his blockmon project because of some "losers who think his art didn't have soul." A true artist like Bones would understand his take. Barley quickly mints a new blockmon. Even though he had abandoned the others in the gallery, he still made sure to hold just enough blockcoins to create a blockmon. He'd hate if the price of it skyrocketed the second he gave up on it.

"Ge-tttzzzzzzzz!"

Watching an animal generate before their very eyes takes Bones slightly aback.

None of that.....described Bones at all.

Barley grabs a cekeki that's trying to scramble away from the machine.

Barley picks one of the creatures in his database, and spawns it into existence.

Barley places down the machine.

Barley slinks off, leaving Bones and the machine alone.

Bones slumps down against the surface of the machine.

Skipper slinks back into view, glancing the metaparxi up and down.

Collector looks at the...."""Cekeki""" Barley made.

"Kokokiki."
