dinohouse Welcome to the office fishtank of P. Sherman, dentist. P. Sherman is a generally well-meaning sort of man, meticulous about the upkeep of the large 50-gallon tank which boasts a broad and colorful range of fish and sea creatures. It's a lovely magic tank where little things like "salt water" or "freshwater" don't matter so much, and P. Sherman has taken advantage of this fact by including a mix of species that almost guarantee that the children in his waiting room will be treated to a live demonstration on Basic Maths: Subtraction & Division.
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FISH IN THIS TANK. ICON UP AND POST AWAY.
Do you remember you were not always a fish?
Might you have grand plans of clogging the tank filter and escaping into the open sea, where a fish of your glorious purpose WAS MEANT TO BE?
P. Sherman doesn't care, and there's fishes round these parts who would sooner see you lunch than successful in your goals.

Maybe it's food?

[WHY TODAY
[I flop back into the water as fast as I can, smacking the chompymouth in the face with the other half of my tail, the half he's not NOMMING
[Oh ffs, now I'm swimming with a tilt on. I twist around to see the damage--
[A very pathetic puff of bubbles comes out of my gills when I see it. He's taken a full quarter of my bottom tailfin out.]
[I am just going to have to convince the dumbass yellow tangs who hang out in the corner that the swallowtail look is in this season.]
[Oh fuck, now squiggly is looking at me again.]

Date: 2012-05-21 03:56 am (UTC)How Rude. And not very tasty.
I spit out the red frilly bits from my mouth, then slide off my rock and back into the water]
You looked like food.

Well, I'm not.
[I so don't have time for this. It's a really stupid thing to do if he decides I look like food -again-, but I floof my tail in his face again, anyway. Why do I keep getting pissed off by fish - er, and turtles - I can't beat up?]
I was having a Moment to myself, okay? You're not the only one who can breathe air here.

A very annoying squiggly armed thing attacked me and bit off part of my FIN. I was very distressed.
[You didn't help with that, I don't add]
