Justin has stayed in the bar since his last shift, mostly out of morbid curiousity. And he debated whether this theme was crass or not but in the end decided, why not? If there are reminders around the place, maybe people will think of something that could help.

"Problems were never solved by anything purple," Teja says, turning up by the bar. "Greetings, Justin!"

[art_and_brian]

'Barney solved the problem of how to keep kids entertained?' he offers, before cracking a grin.

'Hi, Teja.'

[ostro_goth]

"Who is Barney?" Teja asks.

[art_and_brian]

'Barney the...you don't know who...oh. No, I guess you wouldn't.'

He shrugs a shoulder and tries to think of a way to explain.

'Barney the Purple Dinosaur. He's a character on kids TV.'

[ostro_goth]

"The only thing that I ever saw on TV was squid," Teja says. "And it was not for children!"

[art_and_brian]

'Squid?'

He pulls his best 'what the fuck?' expression.

'Like...a programme on fishing?'

[ostro_goth]

"No," Teja says. "It was squid TV. They were playing some terrible drama with murder and adultery."

[art_and_brian]

'...squid has TV?'

[ostro_goth]

"These had it," Teja says.

[art_and_brian]

Huh.

'Did they speak English?'

Of all the weird things he's come across in the bar, this one might just take the biscuit.

[ostro_goth]

"I know not," Teja says. "I understood them; perhaps the magic of this place helped."

[art_and_brian]

'Squid on TV. Unbelievable.'

He shakes his head.

'I thought things couldn't get any more fucked up around here.'

[ostro_goth]

"Why should not squid have their own tee-vee?" Teja says. "For a while, I thought that tee-vee would ever be about squid."

[art_and_brian]

He seriously cannot believe Teja just asked him that question.

'Uh...because they're squid. You know - live under water, don't think much, don't talk, no higher intelligence squid.'

He's quite disturbed by the idea of squid talking and having affairs and whatnot. It doesn't seem right.

[ostro_goth]

"These were higher intelligence squid," Teja says. "From a world, one would assume, where squid turned into that which men are on ours. They had a very active love-life."

[art_and_brian]

'...

...I do not want to think about the love-lives of squid.'

But, y'know. Too late.
