[Squid Girl is sitting on top of something big and flat as the video feed flicks on, the open ocean clearly visible behind her as the Pathfinder and the dock located just outside Union disappear into the distance.  Wherever she is and whatever she's sitting on, it's moving.]

Y'know... every time we have to bail out some suckers from a new city, there's always somefin they have in common.

[You know.  In the two times that's happened so far.]

Caldera is in a desert.  Citadel is up in a big tree in the middle of nowhere.

[She folds her arms, shaking her head and shrugging.]

You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

[And if not, she moves her wrist to show a view of the ocean waves beside her before bringing it back around to her face.]

The ocean!  Both of them built their stupid cities as far away from it as they could!  Of course Caldera was thirsty and stuff when Gigas surrounded them - there's no water anywhere in a desert!  And Citadel is even stupider!  They get attacked by a big monster made of fire, right?  You know what would really kelp?  A big source of water!  But where do you find somefin like that...?

[She moves the camera back to the waves for a moment before swinging it back around.]

Oh yeah, I know!  The ocean!  But instead of just building a city that was gilly far away from the ocean on land, they went up into the sky, too!  What's wrong with these people?  If everybody just lived near the ocean, I jet no one would have these kinds of problems.

Oh my cod, that is the opposite of a good idea!

The oceans have their fair share of monsters in depths! And I don't think humans have a way to make the water less salty for them to drink.

If you and I can survive in the ocean, the humans can survive near it.

Video

[ebbnflow]

That's because we have the adaptations to survive in it unlike humans. I suppose a beachside residence would be okay but they need to be careful not to pollute the ocean and not to eat Feebas.

Video

[moemoetentacles]

It's okay, most of the humans are actually gilly good about that kind of stuff. A few of them even helped me get rid of the Trubbish that were living in the ocean.

[ebbnflow]

Well I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Of course we can punish them if they fin the line.

Enough with the fish puns, Savior's grace... [He's seen this crazy girl around and has thankfully avoided most opportunities to encounter her... but today Asch feels adventurous.] -What are you blabbin' on about?

[moemoetentacles]

Water. People don't realize how important it is!

video;

[albertstyle]

Yeah, it's important.
-and...?

[His Vaporeon turns into water...
That's cool he guesses.]

Don't you talk about the importance of water every single day?
[The Swords might gossip here and there, okay...]

[moemoetentacles]

So somebody has been listening!

video;

[albertstyle]

[He nods] Mmmhum.
Lots of people...

[Maybe not all good people but people.]
So what's your little speech about again?
... You know you can't move the ocean, right?

[rainsrespite]

...Huh? [She really only got some of the puns, Squid-Girl...So have a semi-serious if somewhat amused answer.]

But if we lived only by the water, then what good would all this land be? I mean honestly, wouldn't the beaches just get super crowded then?

[Video]

[moemoetentacles]

Well, I mean, not right next to the ocean. Just... kinda near. Like Union.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

But that would cause resource conflicts and waste all that space...

[Video]

[moemoetentacles]

Well, like... it's still okay to live near lakes and rivers and stuff too. Water is the important part.

Re: [Video]

[rainsrespite]

Well...I highly doubt Caldera and the Valkyries live to far from water sources. No civilization can live without it...

[... Ignoring some of those puns for the sake of her sanity.]

I'd say living near the ocean would be a great idea, but humans aren't supposed to drink saltwater.

video

[moemoetentacles]

But freshwater tastes terrible!

video

[healthepot]

It's not a matter of taste, unfortunately. Humans can't drink saltwater in large amounts because the salt in the water would dehydrate them--kind of defeats the purpose of drinking water in the first place.

video

[moemoetentacles]

That's not a problem for me, what's humans' problem?

video

[healthepot]

Human bodies don't work that way.

[kaidont]

I'm calling the next distress call being an underwater city threatened by sharpedos.

[Video]

[moemoetentacles]

Bring 'em on! I can deal with those suckers now.

[kaidont]

What, you alone against an army of sharpedo? They'll be snacking on squid sushi.

[moemoetentacles]

Not alone. I'll have my buddy here.

[Squid Girl grins, patting whatever it is she's sitting on with a tentacle.]

[kaidont]

... what--who is that?
