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

[consider8]

[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.

Hm...

[She had to kind of thing about that. On one hand, dragons were the stuff of myths and fantasy, but then again so were humans.]

We've heard of dinosaurs and ancient sea beasts like the ancient kraken and umibozo. But it was only recently did we learn that humans existed on our world.

[flatteries]

.. I suppose it could be different between our worlds. [ After all, Inigo has found so many differences between his own world and the ones other people come from at this point. Nothing could surprise him anymore. ]

After all, people talk as if dragons don't exist in their worlds.. so perhaps people like you don't exist in mine. [ There's a small pause, but then Inigo smiles, perhaps wanting to give this a bit of a lighter edge. ] Which is a terrible thing for my world, if it means that it is missing out on you.
