so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

I like it, it sounds like a squid I'd wanna be friends with.

[explosion]

It is also a very ugly squid.
Spores. Spikes. Very uneven little tentacle things.

Very, very ugly.

[venatoris]

That just seems cruel. Very, very cruel.

[explosion]

[ she laughs. ]

How so?
Keep in mind that it is a very, very important fact.

[venatoris]

Are you sure it's fact? And not opinion? Maybe it's a really cute squid

[explosion]

Incredibly factual. It is a very ugly squid. I hear if you look it in the eye for too long, you may actually turn to stone.

[venatoris]

well that part might be true

but it could still be cute

[explosion]

It is the opposite of Dorian Gray.
Terrifying.

[venatoris]

maybe there's merits to being a super terrifying squid

top of the food chain maybe

[explosion]

Underneath shark fins and feet. Down with all the plankton on the ocean floor.

[venatoris]

aw cmon

[explosion]

Beneath the tiny bits of sand it lays.

[venatoris]

this is the saddest thing i've ever heard

[explosion]

I only want to relay factual information to you, Dean. It is best.

Sometimes it even gets trodden on by sea slugs. So very sad. :(

[venatoris]

that is very sad. and now I'M sad. gonna have to drink my sorrows away for a sad squid stepped on by sea slugs

[explosion]

And what would your choice of not-sad drink be? Seawater? Or is that too close to home?

[venatoris]

BUUUUUURN

something questionable, definitely. this place has weird liquor

[explosion]

Not all of it is weird.
Not when you have the right fish guide you to the best, most secret liquor of the Trench.

[venatoris]

can the most beautiful fish ever lead the poor, ugly slug squid to the good shit?

[explosion]

Who is the most beautiful fish?
There could be so many while there is only one poor, ugly slug squid.

[venatoris]

i think we all know wanda is the most beautiful fish

[explosion]

[ sly squid. ]

Do you say that to all of the fish?

[venatoris]

only the ones who deserve it

[explosion]

What makes someone deserving?

[venatoris]

someone nice enough to distract me from having a meltdown on a very public network bc i dont know what the fuck is going on and all these people know me that i've never met before in my life and it's freaking me out
