*Something that ISN'T a video message from Tim? Well that's not highly suspicious or anything.*

Alright, who wants to explain why there's a gigantic aquarium in my room with a... a... something in it. A little yellow tentacly squid thing.

... What am I supposed to feed this thing?

*Markus had helpfully left Tim a note telling him how to take

Like, littler fish? I think that's usually what stuff that swims eats.

[timisnotme]

Oh, that makes sense actually.

I've never had a saltwater fish before, this may end badly.

[reckless_eagle]

I've never had any fish before, so like, your guess is probs as good as mine ♥

[timisnotme]

I've been told you can eat them. But it looks too gross to eat.

[last_liar]

A...yellow tentacly squid thing?

audio;

[timisnotme]

Yeah it's like... some sort of fish. It's like a ... Hold on.

*He turns on the camera, facing towards the tank so you can't see Tim, and shows you the little fishy swimming around.*

[last_liar]

Oh...wow. [He vaguely remembers Masky filling up an aquarium, but he was pointedly trying not to pay attention, so he's not making the connection.]

I have no idea what that is.

*He clicks off the comm and goes back to audio.*

Yeah, I don't either. It's kinda cute this little, but it's probably going to grow up to be a krakken and destroy the mansion.

[time2confess]

[The cogs are turning as he listens to the entire message. A yellow tentacly squid thing? Oh...Hajime just looooves connecting the dots.

So he answers with a question to confirm his thoughts.]

Can you be a little more descriptive about the animal?

[Not wanting to sound to 'out there', he figures he should offer some advice.]

I don't know too much about animals in aquariums, but I'm sure you can find what information you need in the library.

[timisnotme]

Here, lemme show you.

*He clicks on the video so it's pointing at the tank. At this angle it's impossible to see the cypher writing all over the walls, or Tim for that matter, but you can see a yellow cuttle fish darting about.*

I know but, I don't even know what I'm looking for. Is this even a ... thing from earth?

[time2confess]

[That definitely confirms his theory. Sorry, man.

He nods at the question.]

It is. And I think it's called a cuttlefish. They're relatives of squids and snails, oddly enough.

[Sure, he doesn't know how to take care of them. But he knows some facts here and there.]

[timisnotme]

.. The fuck is a cuttlefish?

It's a squid snail? What the hell...

*He clicks off the video and goes back to just audio.*

Locked audio, last edit I swear.

[paper_knight]

Markus didn't tell you?
One of the other residents gave him a pet.

<3

[timisnotme]

He left me a note about it. But he didn't tell me what it eats.

I can't really imagine him with a pet. I kinda want to get rid of it.

<3!

[paper_knight]

Don't. I think it's good for him, really.

There must be something about it in the library. Or--do you know someone called Feferi?

[timisnotme]

Good for him. you know what, I don't really give a shit what's good for HIM.

[castoredux]

[Hey, look. He actually gets to hear Shinji's voice.]

That's a shitty description. What the hell is it?

Re: audio.

[timisnotme]

It's a fish with tentacles. I don't know how else to say it. It's yellow and like.. half squid, half fish.

audio.

[castoredux]

[...] Where'd it come from?

Re: audio.

[timisnotme]

I dunno. But there's now a gigantic tank for it in my closet.
