002 - Octopus's Garden In the Shade

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Today on the hot mess that is Retrospec, somebody's either fallen asleep on their keyboard or allowed their cat to play with the computer for too long, 'cause there's a solid string of this for about a minute straight.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Garfield Logan added 3 new photos - in Huntington Avenue, Recollé
2 mins

[The first photo is a blurry image of Gar screaming, with only his head and upper chest visible. Something long and twisty is visible at the edge of the frame.

The second is a slightly less blurry image of a... realistic-looking octopus tentacle, for some reason.

The last is an image of Gar's bare chest underneath a ripped shirt, which no one ever really wanted to see, but we're all being traumatized today so just go with it. Everything looks normal up until the part where his shoulder attaches to the octopus tentacle in the previous picture.

It's kinda gross.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

what

no

maybe?

i dunno

what's love

A warm shower on a summer's day, might be one way to put it ?

i usually like taking cold showers when it's hot outside

I meant rain

so love is like when you're gross and sticky and then it rains so you stop being sticky for a little bit, but then you start to smell if you don't change?

After a night of love, definitely!

[ Natalia. ]

[wtf]

...love sounds kinda nasty
i guess i've never thought about wanting to deal with that

[ I mean she'll just be laughing herself silly on the other end, sorry 15 year old ]

Well, it's usually something you discover more than deal with! And if you haven't, then you haven't!

should i have
am i like, super far behind
do kids do this kinda thing when they're fifteen i feel like we just spend most of our time playing video games

Nope, you do whatever pace is best for you!

so, did the distraction work?

huh?

[...]

oh crap
i have fingers again

wow you're good

wait i think i can get this it's still like kinda rubbery but

if i don't change this back i'll never know love! i've gotta do this!

You got this!! I believe in you!!

wait you're supposed to disagree and tell me that i can find love even if i turn into an octopus monster

missed your cue, man

[...for the next minute or so, Gar is silent on his end]

..........................

....got it.

Well not everyone is into the same things I am

what
no i got my arm back to normal!!

wait what????

gross don't tell me stuff like that

ANYWAY ITS BACK

I'm glad to hear it!

... So that means you have transformation powers?

That's amazing actually

oh crap
do i????

what if i'm just like

slowly mutating and i can push it back a little bit

Well that's amazing too in its own way.

yeah ok i like the other kind of amazing better let's hope for that

what should i do now

do i just

pretend nothing's happened and keep going

Honestly, that might be all we can do? I just had to pretend that red eyes are normal (which I know is not nearly as bad a tentacle arm) and carry on.

You could try to see if you can master how and when you mutate?

...ok
ok i can handle that

...i keep imagining this happening in the middle of dinner and that'll probably make it happen so

just don't think about it

Good luck with that!

Oh and show me that in person sometime!

cool
thanks for the help
that probably could a' been worse

maybe i can whip this out in class sometime if i want the teacher to emergency dismiss everyone or something
