Nebula 2, Evening | A Matter of Great Importance [Video]

[The video opens and there is a pouting octoteen glowering into the screen.]

Everyone, it has come to my attention that we have a new karaoke machine. I was excited at first because that sounds like a lot of fun, but when I started it I saw that there were squids performing on the screen.

I know that many of you are human or human-adjacent and that the representation of other species may be too much to ask, but I have to ask: why squids? Why not octopi? This seems very unfair.

I won't be looking at a gift fish if it has gone south but this is very frustrating to me personally. Are octopus really held in such low regard to squid?

Please let me know. I am quite upset.

In my world some dipshit decided he wanted a bio weapon so hooray, a virus. It a correctable thing or is that something you're still working on?

Here's what I'd do. I'd go to the music car, pick out a bunch of songs I like, make a big list, and say "I want a karaoke tape of these songs but with octopuses in the background".

And be specific about the type of octopus. I don't trust this place luckwise.

Well, be careful. Sometimes you fix 'one in particular' in a painful way and they get real bitter about it. Believe me, I know.

Just be as specific as possible. Write that thing up like a contract. These exact songs for this exact thing with this exact genre of stock background. Species type. Clothing type. Dancing type or types. Whichever. Might take some research but I think that's the best way to go.
