OctoTexting

96) Alert At All Times

Where the background crew gets a little fed up of having to be alert at literally any time of the day or night. Also, Dashi gets a pet. Another pet.

Online: JumpingJellyfish, SaySeaweed, GamerGirl, AccordingToTheAccordian

SaySeaweed: hate to wake you guys, but there's something weird on the radar up here

JumpingJellyfish: wasn't ... (yawns) ... asleep

JumpingJellyfish: resting my eyes

AccordingToTheAccordian: okay, Dashi -

SaySeaweed: no, let me guess - sound the Octoalert?

SaySeaweed: already on it, Captain

(SaySeaweed has sounded the OctoAlert)

AccordingToTheAccordian: Octonauts, to the Launch Bay

JumpingJellyfish: sometimes I wish the ocean could wait for its emergencies until after breakfast

JumpingJellyfish: ten am is a reasonable time

JumpingJellyfish: half six am is - not

SaySeaweed: right, who's going?

SaySeaweed: I need to go somewhere at least, the Octoalert is so loud this morning, it's hurting my head :S

JumpingJellyfish: my feet are telling me to get up, honest, but my bed is saying otherwise and I don't know who's going to win this morning

SaySeaweed: maybe Tweaky can go instead of one of us

SaySeaweed: this week I'm pretty busy looking after my new pet

JumpingJellyfish: another one?

JumpingJellyfish: not the sea snails that you adopted from the last mission

JumpingJellyfish: or the puffer fish that you adopted from Peso's Sick Bay

SaySeaweed: I don't keep them for that long, just enough if they're willing to have a photo shoot :)

SaySeaweed: no, my new pet is actually a sea hedgehog

JumpingJellyfish: uh, dashi ... that's not a thing

(GamerGirl has logged on)

GamerGirl: evening

GamerGirl: it actually might as well be, it's difficult to rise and shine at all peacefully when the Octoalert is actually vibrating you out of your bed

SaySeaweed: Tweak, tell Shel that sea hedgehogs are a thing

GamerGirl: Shel, sea hedgehogs are a thing

SaySeaweed: thank you :)

JumpingJellyfish: ...

GamerGirl: the captain's asking where you two are

SaySeaweed: coming

JumpingJellyfish: lost my shoes

JumpingJellyfish: ah, whatever - coming in slippers

GamerGirl: such professionalism in one so young

SaySeaweed: just because you always look like the organised one, Tweak

GamerGirl: well unlike some of us i can't stay in bed since the captain is literally standing right next to my bedroom when a mission's starting

GamerGirl: there's nowhere to hide other than under my carrot covers

GamerGirl: nevermind, apparently the radar was just showing a lost whale again
