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

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

[explosion]

[ ah. ]

That's never easy.

You're in the Trench, which is like a pocket dimension that tends to collect people. And some of those people are not very good at letting someone ease their way in.

They are the annoying crabs. Squids ink them and Wanda Fish wiggle their fins and make them disappear.

[venatoris]

It's weirding me out, not gonna lie. I got locals coming up to me and asking me for drugs, like who the hell was I??

Can the ugly Dean squid and Wanda fish get together and make them go away?

[explosion]

Ignore the locals. They often behave strangely depending on what the Patron of the month wants.

[ be careful what you wish for, deano. ]

Where are you?

[venatoris]

Do...we behave strangely depending on what the patron of the month wants?

In a big ass cabin this guy Raleigh says is mine. Going off the clothes and the car out front, I believe him, but it's a little weird.

[ the house of his dreams just HAPPENS to be here? and his car? ]
