"Sounds more like I should try to see if they want to play fetch or something, not spooky." she chuckles.

"I dunno. Octopuses always struck me as bein'... angry. All the time." He rubbed his nose a bit.

"You can't talk to sealife, can you?"

She shakes her head. "But they're just like other animals. A whale let me ride it up to the surface once."

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 10:15 pm

Victor smiled. "That must have been amazing. Lotsa people'd freak out at the chance to get that close to a whale."

"It wasn't real, so I guess I just made friends with the computer, but it was still awesome." she nods.

"Good practice for the real thing. Someone told me that you're never more than sixty miles from the ocean in England, so there's lotsa chances for a trip to the beach. I guess it's pretty lucky that the school is here and not in, like, Chad, or something."

"Yeah, though it's not nearly as pretty as a coral reef. It's mostly just mud."

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 11:03 pm

"It's still better than swimming in Venice though. So at least there's that."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 11:19 pm

"Why's that?"

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 11:59 pm

"It's a city where houses are surrounded by water. Where do you think their septic fields are?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 12:05 am

"Oh ewww! That's disgusting!"

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 12:11 am

Victor laughed, leaning back a bit in the process. "Well it's gotta go somewhere. But at least now you know, so if you ever find yourself there you won't be tempted to take a dip."

"Thanks for the warning, I guess." she chuckles. "Don't wanna know what it would taste like to try and breathe that."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 5:42 pm

Victor looked a little surprised. "Wait... you can breathe under water?" He asked eagerly. "I thought maybe you could just hold your breath, like a dolphin or something."

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:05 pm

"Yeah. I got gills." she says, pointing at her neck and tilting her head a little so the barely visible slits open up a bit.

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:41 pm

Victor leaned in close to properly scrutinize the vents in Kay's neck. "Whoa, that is so cool!"

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:49 pm

"Thanks." she blushes slightly. "Means I can't smoke, but I guess I shouldn't do that anyway."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 7:02 pm

"Well there's always snuff. Or chaw-baccy."

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 7:23 pm

"Eww, no, that's kinda disgusting." she laughs.

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 7:33 pm

"Yeah, I think so too. And expensive. I'd rather save my money for other bad habits. Like comic books." Victor grinned. "I know, I'm a dork, but they're fun."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 8:08 pm

"Yeah! I draw kind of an online comic thing." she smiles sheepishly.

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 8:13 pm

"Whoa, really?" Vic asked, leaning forward. "What's it about?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 9:03 pm

"People living in a jungle full of dinosaurs and prehistoric things. I might have based the characters off of me and some of my friends here at the school..."

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:03 pm

"That sounds pretty cool! I'm gonna have to check it out. Can I get you to send me the link sometime?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Oct 04, 2014 11:25 pm

"Yeah sure. My email's on the school thingie or kaykay on gmail."

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:43 pm

"Awesome. I dunno what mine is yet, but I'll log in and find ya when I can."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:46 pm

"It's probably first initial and your last name."

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Oct 05, 2014 11:12 pm

"Aww man, I was hopin' for 'ex ex ex mlg pro no-scope 420 ninja ex ex ex'." Victor sighed in a defeated tone.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Oct 05, 2014 11:25 pm

"I have no idea what you just said." she chuckles. "It sounds like something Theresa might get though."

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Oct 05, 2014 11:32 pm

Victor tilted his head slightly like a curious puppy. "Oh? Who's that?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 9:52 am

"My friend. She graduated high school last year and now she's attending university classes here. She plays computer games and stuff."

by **Victor Freud** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 4:27 pm

"Oh, awesome. Do they ever have LAN parties here? I've never been to one but I've heard they're a lot of fun."

What a dork.

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:10 pm

"That's another computer thing, right? They might have..."

by **Victor Freud** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:05 pm

"Yeah. Basically a bunch of folks get together in a room or two with their computers and play games together. So it's like boardgame night, but with more cursing."

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:15 pm

"Oh so it's like online games."

by **Victor Freud** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:28 pm

"Yeah, kinda, just not online. Instead of connecting with other folks online somewhere else in the world, you're connecting with folks in the same room. And with no lag."

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:56 pm

"So like fancy boardgames. That's neat." she says politely.

by **Victor Freud** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:31 am

"Yeah, just not restricted to a board. Though there are some pretty good party games that do act like board games, they're fun with a group of friends." He rubbed the back of his head a bit. "Wow, I sound like such a dork, talking about board games and stuff. Sorry."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:31 am

"Yeah, a little." She chuckles awkwardly. "But that's alright."

by **Victor Freud** » Wed Oct 08, 2014 12:08 am

"I should, ah, let you get back to what you were doin'. Lotta students here today, I can't be monopolizin' alla yer time."
