Nintendo Aquarium, New York City, Manhattan: America
6:45 AM
"Has anyone noticed the gay little fish in tank number 48?" A random morning employee said as he clocked into work using the tablet.
I looked up from my O.R.C.A phone at the weird question.
Gay fish?
"Huh? No. What are you talking about?" Jessie replied. She sat next to me and was finishing up her blue Slurpee before she had to go call Mario and Luigi to take care of the third downstairs bathroom.
"Y'know, the queer squid and octopus down on level two, next to the break room and the gift shop?" Xander asked while softly petting Judd.
"You mean Agent 3 and Agent 8?" We named them those things after we noticed how close they had gotten to Cap'n Cuttlefish.
"Yeah, those gals." He responded.
"Isn't that the octopus and cuttlefish that somehow ended up in the blender in the break room?" Jessie got up and threw her now empty cup away.
"Yeah, they really scared me when they did that. How the hell did they even get in there?" Xander reminded me of the confusion and stress that originally came from the whole incident.
My manager swore that if anyone was found responsible for the absurd incident then they would be charged.
It was eventually found out that the telephone operator was the one responsible for all the fish in the blender.
We got him fired and pressed charges.
That was one of the many, many odd incidents that happened at this unsuspecting aquarium.
I got to say that it was quite entertaining to listen to all the stories on my shifts.
Here are some of the things that I have heard.
Our great zapfish kept somehow getting kidnapped by the octopus in the DJ room.
A bear SOMEHOW broke into the aquarium and stuck himself into our fridge.
The squid sisters stole my manager's phone and posted a music video. Are cuttlefish even supposed to be that smart?
Like, how the fuck did they do all of this?!

Oh, that's my timer, I guess that it's my time to work.
Let's see what happens today.
