[Joey wakes up on the softest bed of sand she's ever laid in. She yawns, whiskers tweaking, and rolls onto her back. Through the muggy haze of contented sleep, she notices how oddly... unbroken the bed is. Not even the smallest of shells digging into her backside. The blacks of her eyes open to slits, and then fly wide.
Walls. She has NEVER seen the inside of a human dwelling, but Nidi likes to tell her of some things and she's mentioned the inexplicable need humans have to box themselves in. And of-- what are they called, matters? Mattrooses? Whatever it is that Joey's seal body is stretched out on. She freaks out and rolls all the way off of the bed, landing hard on top of what feels like a rock and protesting her new circumstances with an explosion of panicked grunt-barks.
The "rock" is her communicator, what a surprise! And as she is currently rolling around on it, the whole ship gets to hear a seal flipping her shit. ORT ORT ORT.]
