 gardenGnostic [GG] AT 00:19 opened memo on board "doctor octopus sunshine typhoon lagoon!!!! :D :D :D <33333!".

GG: come on in guys :D!!!
ectoBiologist [EB] responded to memo.
EB: hey, jade!
GG: hi john! <3
tentacleTherapist [TT] responded to memo.
TT: Hello John, Jade.
GG: hellllooooo :O
EB: hi, squishysquid. <3
GG: omg
EB: what?
GG: oh uh! nothing
GG: >_>
EB: that is a perfectly romantic and elegant nickname, i am allowed!
EB: i sense.... JUDGMENT RAYS shooting from a certain ectosis's direction! hmmmm.
EB: they are invisible but nonetheless hella destructive.
EB: and besides, jade, i'm pretty sure i heard you calling a certain seppuku bird sprite dude a few pretty good nicknames yourself.
EB: let’s see if i can remember them...
GG: dont you dare!!!!!!
GG: >:C
turntechGodhead [TG] responded to memo.
TG: alright what the fuck is even going on here
GG: ugggh dave THERE you are!
TG: is this memo thing just to gossip about the latest cheesy romances or whatever
TG: if thats the case then fuck this im outta here
GG: oh no you dont!!!! >:O
GG: you just got here
EB: more like a specific and totally great and wonderful and cheese free romance in particular.
EB: i think.
EB: the name makes it kinda hard to tell. what's this memo got to do with spiderman?
EB: not that i'm not totally down for that!
GG: oh uhh
GG: heheh...heh....
TG: all ive seen are terrible nicknames although i cant really see how that qualifies as a nickname
EB: yeah, i'm sure your nickname standards are exceptionally high and incredibly discerning, dave.
EB: and also probably like forty paragraphs long. nice first post, man.
TG: whoa hey now
TG: my nickname skills should not be dragged into this mess
TG: i mean squishysquid??? yeah very romantic let me poke this squid and see how she lashes out at you
TG: and that first post was literary gold
TG: just sayin
TT: It was definitely something.
GG: heeeey guys, if you stop being buttmunches for a moment maybe i can explain???
GG: ... uhh, about the memo name i mean >_>;
TG: alright sure jade
TG: why does it sound like an episode from one of your weird squiddly shows
EB: it looks like the title of a hentai anime.
TG: squiddly hentai wow jade its amazing how you treat childhood classics
GG: nooooooooo jeez of course not!! XC
GG: i... mean....
GG: not that i dont have my inspirations BUT!!!
GG: in this case it was definitely NOT
GG: that
GG: X|
EB: pffffff.
EB: okay fine, i believe you. MAYBE.
GG: XP!!!
TG: wow i guess you learn something new about dog girls and the hentai they watch every day
EB: but then what the heck IS it? because that leaves it just looking like a dictionary threw up on the memo.
GG: i suppose it is anime inspired, but i must emphasize the important part is NOT the second part....
GG: but the first C:
TT: I'm envisioning a cephalopod swimming the murkiest depths of the ocean, seeking out all the aquatic life in despair and in need, and offering its aid.
EB: yeah, that basically.
TG: what so some tentacle monster is going to come and heal us
GG: awwww c:
GG: but!!! i am afraid its false
GG: ... at least after a fashion :Oa
GG: (pssst hint!!!! it has to do with us :O!)
EB: damn!
TT: Then there will be no medical care for the fish. I see.
EB: they are consigned to life as sushi. :(
EB: or not life.
GG: oh nooo
GG: dont worry, the fish can have a nonmemo related doctor too :C <333
EB: well, i suppose that makes it all better then.
GG: of course it does >:O
TT: Tank goodness.
EB: ...<3
GG: heheheheheh
GG: :D
TT: (<3)
EB: (guys, she knows my weakness!!)
GG: (oh goodness, the punssss)
GG: (we are all doomed -_-)
TG: ugh all of these terrible puns and weird romance things are literally hurting my eyes
TG: they are going past the computer screen through my shades and piercing them with how terrible they are
EB: buuuut of course you sit and watch anyway.
EB: and join in.
EB: that makes perfect sense now and forever.
EB: admit it, you love the puns and romance things.
EB: admit it.
EB: embrace them.
TG: wow its not like a bro just wants to chill with his friends or something
GG: they ARE pretty cute dave!
EB: exactly!
TG: what really
GG: at leeeast most of the time <_<
EB: what!
EB: i am wounded.
EB: :C
TG: they are taking every cliched cute thing that you see in fucking disney sitcoms
TG: and turning it up to eleven
TG: and i have to sit here and wonder
TG: how the fuck did this even happen
EB: yeah, well, i have to sit here and wonder how you don't have any sense of the line between classic and cliche.
EB: which is kind of a shame!
TG: you guys are the reasons classics become cliches
EB: isn't that right... uh...
EB: ...i am so sorry, rose, i totally had another one on the tip of my tongue just now, i swear.
TT: It's alright.
TT: Bunnymittens.
EB: =:D
GG: o m gggggg
EB: hey rose, it's really appropriate that you like tentacled things, becaaaauuuuuse...
EB: /wiggles eyebrows
EB: i am just such a sucker for you.
TG: oh my god
TG: just please
GG: ..... :I
EB: *wink*
TT: ;)
EB: ;O
TG: leave your pun sexting out of group chats
EB: <333
EB: this isn't sexting.
EB: sexting, as you can see by the name, encompasses the much more steamy and naughty and behind closed doors realm of business.
GG: yeah dave only you would consider ~salacious winks~ a sign of sexting :T
TG: i just know theres some less than innocent intentions behind those winks
TG: and i want no part of it
TT: Dave, it's alright. Someday you too will know what love is. And someday you will also send furtive emoticon winks.
EB: buuuuuuut now that you mention it, dave...
EB: less than innocent intentions, you say.
EB: thaaat...
EB: just might be the case!
EB: maybe i mentioned tentacles specifically for...
EB: a very specific reason.
TT: <3o=<&
TG: what the fuck is that
GG: @_@....
TG: how the fuck can you delete text from a group chat
TT: It's a squid.
TG: that combination of symbols has to go
TG: oh
TG: squid
TG: huh
TT: What did you think it was?
EB: why, dave, what else could that be?
GG: dave.......
GG: ..... >:\
TG: i mean how the fuck is that even a squid
TT: http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/005/cache/giant-squid_544_600x450.jpg
TT: For your personal education.
EB: i guess you were right about him all along, .
TT: I would be proud, but anybody could read the writing on this particular wall.
TG: im just questioning the lack of tentacles on this
TG: i thought you loved to put them on everything
TG: also fyi pumpkin is the worst pet name in all possible universes
TG: seriously im passing that on from stephen hawking himself look it up
EB: what pumpkin?
EB: and the ampersand is the tentacles, dunkass.
GG: yeah, duuuh!! :P
TG: yeah one tentacle
EB: no, it is a stylization of a mass of writhing tentacles threatening to lovingly pull you into the chilling abyss. god, dave.
TT: Exactly.
TG: ugh
TG: no
EB: writhing.
EB: tentacles.
TG: yeah thanks for a mental image that i needed to make my day
EB: everywhere, dave.
TG: stop
EB: everywhere.
EB: it likes you, dave.
TT: Slithering over your skin.
EB: it's friendly.
GG: slimey sea nooooodles~~ >:D
EB: sure they're a little clammy, but them's the breaks with tentacles, you know?
EB: it wants to be tangle buddies, dude.
GG: and as we all know...
GG: everyone wants to be tangle buddies :O!
TT: They all want to be tangle buddies with you, Dave. All of them.
TG: why are all of you so goddamn obsessed with tentacles
TG: theyre not even a big deal
EB: they leap because they like you...
EB: they swim because they're swell...
EB: they smile because they have so many stories they'd like to tell!
TG banned himself from responding to memo.
GG: ...... >:|
EB: aw, that took a lot longer than i thought it would.
GG: whaaaaat???
EB: nothing.
GG: >:C
EB: /WHISTLES INNOCENTLY
TT: Read: whistles suspiciously and with a slightly fuller gambit.
GG: >:P!!!
GG: you are both terrible
GG: ..... thoooough that WAS pretty funny, heheh
EB: exactly.
EB: speaking of tentacles...
GG: :O?
EB: i am eyeing the memo name all over again and coming to a CONCLUSION, jade.
GG: ... :D!!
EB: i think.
EB: maybe.
EB: and i'm not completely sure how to feel about it other than being sorta flattered, i guess?
EB: not to be accusatory or anything, but...
EB: you, miss fangirl who is into all of the animes. all of them. and writes huge gigantic essays on her favorite ships.
EB: you made up a special ship name for me and rose.
EB: the doctor part is from way back when i was sort of a doctor getting the tumor out of the middle of skaia. so that's me. and then the octopus part is obviously rose because she likes sea creatures a heck of a lot! which is also completely cute and awesome, as we all know.
GG: :D
GG: right on the nose!!!!!!
EB: all right! :D
GG: gold star to you, sir!
EB: which compels me to ask a question that i TRUST you to answer honestly.
GG: oh my
EB: haaave you gone the whole nine yards ship wise and written erotic fan fiction about us and junk?
EB: to reiterate:
EB: honest answer, sis.
EB: honest answer.
GG: .....
EB: ...
TT: ...Jade, you're pausing a bit too long.
EB: pffffffff.
EB: i knew it!!!
TT: Jade, you didn't.
GG banned herself from responding to memo.
EB: ...oh. whoops.
TT: What have you done?
EB: aw, i was looking forward to some really good reading material tonight. :(
GG unbanned herself from responding to memo.
GG: PSYCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EB: oh whoa, you're back!
GG: :DDDDDD
EB: wha...
EB: that is so not fair!!
TT: I am unsure whether to feel relief or disappointment.
GG: heheheheheh you both totally fell for it!! >:3
EB: jade, that is hardly even a prank at all!
EB: all you did was ban and then unban yourself. totally amateur.
GG: ohhh suuuure, YOU say that XPPP
EB: my gambit remains unshaken and unshakeable.
GG: yeah sure...
GG: in your head
GG: reality tells another tale, however... :O!
GG: (check your meter, dunkass ;P)
EB: ...
TT: I'm afraid the gambit may have to go to Jade, dear.
GG: ..... >:D
EB: ...i'll get you back for this and you will never see it coming.
GG: pfffft! i would like to see you try punk >:O
EB: that is not a threat, it is a PROMISE.
GG: i am sure it is >:|
TT: We will eagerly await your swift reclaim of the prankster throne.
EB: you'd better!
GG: and i will be well-prepared, would-be usurper!!!
EB: you'll be shaken to your core. THAT is a guarantee.
GG: XP!!!
GG: try me
GG: >:O!!
GG: ..... oh wow ._.
EB: what?
GG: amongst all this prankery i... kiiiinda forgot why i set up this memo in the first place
GG: :D;;;;
GG: which i guess i should get on to, even though dave bailed on us early :T
GG: which is to say:
EB: yeah?
GG: how have you guys been liking tumblr so far???? :O
EB: it's pretty neat!
TT: It's been an overall pleasant experience. I find myself under a constant deluge of felines.
GG: heheh :D
TT: Which, as far as deluges go, isn't the worst.
GG: definitely! :)
GG: well speaking for myself it IS pretty... yeah, neat i guess??
GG: i am just still kind of lost here at the moment :\ this is a very different social networking platform than im used to
EB: it's deeeefinitely a few steps up from just plain old forums and such, yeah.
EB: actually it's more like a whole entire flight of stairs.
EB: i'm falling down all these bunnies.
GG: i warned you bro!!!
EB: you told me about hares?
GG: haha yesssss >:D
EB: ...well ok they're not the same thing. i don't think. too good an opportunity to pass up, though.
GG: yeah, allowances are made for good puns ;)
TT: Always.
EB: :D
EB: it doooeeees form a pretty substantial part of why i am so very swoony over my basically completely gorgeous and incredible girlfriend, i have to admit.
EB: she has kind of a knack for wordplay.
EB: as anybody with even a quarter of a brain would've noticed by now.
GG: heheh awwww <3
TT: Don't worry, I'll gladly catch you, so long as you don't mind staying with me for a bit longer than such a service normally requires.
EB: oh my.
EB: *pulls at collar. wipes glasses.*
GG: :O....
GG: john i think youve been talking to jake too much :P
TT: You’ll want to be careful with that, Bunnybutt. I might get jealous. ;)
EB: ;)
TT: Oh, but I'm quite serious, darling. This is the stuff of spite-fuelled tenebrous summonings. I could set a foul groaning eidolic army upon your head.
TT: You could be inviting a violent confrontation, if not simply fear-furnished paralysis. Surely, you might say, this is a mere nightmare.
TT: But really, what conceivable reaction to such hordes can a human have other than some form of disbelief? Perhaps that wow, that SURE IS a herd of fifty nephilim there.
TT: That is just like... a LOT of fucking nephilim.
EB: oh no!
EB: okay, it is settled, there is an official moratorium on me talking to anybody besides you enough for their speaking style to rub off on me.
EB: though seriously, you know...
EB: your descriptions need to be much more lurid than that if you really want it to be convincing!
TT: Oh?
EB: yeah, like the million pages your grimoire dedicates to horrorterrors.
EB: the descriptions of them are all like...
EB: erlekmr'zd has a million gaping fanged maws! and ten huge yellow eyes all over his slimy purple body! and more tentacles than anybody could ever count! and his roars...uh...
TT: Go on. It’s an apt description thus far, if somewhat graphic.
GG: bluuuuh, can we actually NOT discuss that now? -_-
GG: :\
EB: oh, sorry! :(
EB: ok, i will not go on about erlekmr'zd. he will remain firmly within my imagination.
GG: mehhh its okay john <33 and normally i am okay with that sort of thing! at least by now >_>
GG: it is just getting kind of late over here? annnnd thinking about that sort of stuff right before going to bed....
EB: oh, right! but i mean...
EB: we've still got the dream bubbles and all, right? we hardly ever really have a good look at any of those guys.
EB: which i can't say i can complain about.
GG: heheh, true :)
GG: and its kind of fun being able to talk to everyone in our dreams, even the people we never met during the game :O
TT: Indeed, I don't know what I would have done had I been unable to make the acquaintance of the "absurd juggalo troll" Dave mentioned so long ago.
EB: hey, gamzee's pretty all right! and he's karkat's moirail or whatever, and i baaaasically trust karkat's judgment. mostly. kinda.
TT: Well, he did finally concede that you were a splendid leader after all, so I suppose I can agree quite wholeheartedly.
EB: pfff. <3
TT: Shh, I'm only relating an uncharacteristically sensible pronouncement on Karkat's part. This is a no scoffing zone, you know.
TT: (<3)
EB: (you spoil me.)
TT: (Doubt it.)
GG: hhhhhhh you guys
GG: you are going to give me cavities!!!! >:O
GG: ......ooohh omg
TT: ?
EB: ? :(
GG: i juuuuuuuust remembered roxy wanted me to take a look at something she built the other night
GG: and she is probably waiting around for me X|
GG: sooo is it okay if i take off for now?? :O
TT: Don't let us keep you. Preservation of the integrity of your tooth enamel is nothing to take lightly, after all.
EB: yeah, we'll catch up with you later!
GG: heheh okay
GG: i am just going to close this memo for now then
GG: meeting adjourned!!!!
GG: and congratulations again :D
GG: it was about time you two dumbasses just asked each other out, it was honestly embarrassing how obvious you both were XP
GG: good night!!!
TT: Goodnight, Jade. Thank you for your congratulations.
EB: night, and thanks! :D
GG: <3
GG closed memo.
