[ pspspsp here skelekitty.

he comes closer, squinting into the tank she was talking to(?) and standing silently as he assesses for what he's looking for. ]

There - see that glow? [ spotted - he points ] Follow that until you can see the needle teeth and empty eyes. That's a female angler fish. They have a bioluminescent lure to draw in prey in the dark.

[outsidebones]

Ah. It is strange looking. The light - I wasn't sure it was - [she hesitates.] Natural.

What is the one with many arms?

[refate]

It can be, in things like fish and insects. [ pause, considering ] And algae. But in Hell I wouldn't be surprised if creatures that weren't supposed to glow did.

[ straightforward information. ]

If it's eight and has a kind of bulbous head? An octopus. The ocean is weirdly keen on giving stuff a lot of limbs, actually.

[she nods slowly, as though she's making a close mental note of all of this.]

Thank you. You are quite knowledgeable about many topics. It is to your credit.

[mostly she's just relieved to know what's supposed to be in there.]

[refate]

Thanks. [ accept acknowledgment when you get it. ] I prefer knowing as much as possible about things, regardless of topic.

So, glad to share. [ especially here ] This place is fucked up, so I'm going to take advantage of the stuff I do know to offset the stuff I don't.

What kind of sea was it, that you'd seen before?

[outsidebones]

The sea on the first house. It once had creatures like these, I believe. But they have been dead for thousands of years.

[she frowns, still looking at the tank.]

I thought I saw something else in there. But I wasn't certain of it.
