Frieda Fox, a stylized female anthropomorphic red fox in a modern 3D animation style. She has a slender build, vibrant burnt-orange fur, and distinctive creamy-white "socks" on her paws and the tip of her bushy tail. Her face features large, expressive emerald-green eyes with thick eyelashes and a small, triangular black nose. She is wearing her signature outfit: a fitted teal turtleneck sweater and a high-waisted yellow pleated skirt. Her ears are large and alert, tipped with black fur, and she sports a tuft of messy "hair" fur between them. She has a confident, mischievous smirk and a gold hoop earring in her left ear.
An ancient, gaunt patriarch representing Father Time. He has a waist-length, wind-swept beard of stark white hair that transitions into ethereal, shimmering grains of sand at the tips. His skin is deeply etched with wrinkles like cracked parchment, and his eyes are a piercing, translucent silver. He wears heavy, layered robes of tattered charcoal wool that seem to trail smoke or dust. In one weathered hand, he grips a bronze scythe with a blade etched in Roman numerals; in the other, a large ornate hourglass where the sand flows upward. A faint, glowing mechanical clockwork halo floats silently behind his head. His mouth is wrinkled as if he just bit into a lemon.
A pair of professional-grade lineman pliers resting on a dark surface. The tool features brushed carbon-steel jaws with visible cross-hatched knurling patterns on the inner gripping surface. The pivot point is a large, flush-mounted steel rivet showing slight circular machining marks. The handles are encased in dual-tone ergonomic grips, consisting of a matte black rubberized base with integrated safety-orange textured inserts. There is subtle scuffing and metallic sheen on the high-points of the steel, indicating light industrial use.
An eight ball is a glossy black billiard ball with a smooth, polished surface that reflects light cleanly. On one side, a crisp white circle contains the bold black number 8, standing out in sharp contrast. Its weight and shine give it a sleek, iconic appearance.
The scene is in the bathroom of the ISS. There are a space toilet and a space shower in the background. Everyone is hovering in zero gravity. Outer space is visible through small port holes.
