Octavinelle Troubles [Closed]

🧙 WHO: Azul, Jade, Floyd.
⚔️️ WHAT: Sad eel angry at other eel and octopus.
🕒 WHEN: Mid July.
🗺️ WHERE: Golden Silence.
⚠️ WARNINGS: None yet, other than angry eel feels.


Closed to Azul
It seems all of the trio has been in a poor mood of late, however the reason behind Floyd’s mood is because of the other two. And the fact he doesn’t know what is going on! At the very least he is less annoyed with Azul, having started with whining and when that hadn’t worked had gone not to silent mode, but certainly to ‘I don’t want to talk to you’ mode. This of course may be something Azul would like, but it doesn’t matter to Floyd. He’s upset with both of them.

Floyd’s even let up on that ‘testing’ he’s been putting Azul through for the last month or so, a push here, a prod there, being more of a pain to see if he could make Azul snap and use magic; moving his stuff around on his desk, taking stuff away from him he was using, small things, but he knew it would add up. Floyd had just wanted an excuse to fight and test Azul. But right now… even that wasn’t fun to him. Not with Azul at least.

Still, there is stuff to be done for Golden Silence, he currently tapping his pen against a clipboard he held in his other hand as he looks over their supplies, Squishy snoozing on his shoulder with a couple of tentacles wrapped around Floyd’s neck so not to fall off. Floyd’s busy going through what ingredients they had for the next couple of weeks and making notes and doodles next to the check list of ideas for dishes. Sure, it would be a messy list to give back to Azul once he’s done, but it allowed him to get ideas out and written down, and some of those would actually turn into good dishes! Others… less so and were better to ignore.

However, “We need to go shopping. The menu’s getting boring.” And it’s not just a case of him getting bored with it, it was starting to feel like they were getting a bit too stagnant in what they were offering. Keeping favorites around was good, but it was also good to mix in a new dish or two here and there to get people in to try it. ‘Limited edition’ was always a good way to bring people, and money, in.


Closed to Jade
His mood towards Jade was even less friendly since this all had been going on. Whatever ‘this all’ even was! Floyd didn’t know! All he knows is Azul and Jade are being weird!

And neither of them will tell him why!

They’re supposed to be a team! Why is he left out?!

And it hurt more coming from Jade. Sure, it’s not like the twins had to know everything about each other, they had their secrets from each other, they didn’t have to tell each other everything. But the fact whatever was happening was affecting two of the trio made this more important! So while Floyd is annoyed at Azul…

He’s angry at Jade.

That may explain why dishes and utensils are getting slapped down more than normal as they work at setting up the restaurant for the change from lunch to dinner while the place was still empty of customers. Floyd was always messier when it came to that than Jade was, but he normally either did the job decent enough to pass, or didn’t want to do it at all. This was… more aggressive. Very much a case of showing his feelings through his actions. After all, he’s already spoken his feelings at Jade about being angry at not knowing what was happening, and that had achieved nothing.

So now… he’s ignoring Jade. Fine! If he doesn’t want to talk to him, then Floyd won’t talk to him!

"Which you won't be able to get him for a while." Oh, that smile on Azul's face is never a good sign. "After all, the two of you now have to work off the damages done to the establishment and while I need to do a full inventory...well. The entire set of dinnerware will have to be replaced if you can't find exact matches for the plates and bowls you destroyed."

At the very least.

To be honest, Jade doesn't mind getting Floyd a new pair as a peace offering. And well, it can also be one of Floyd's birthday presents. But at Azul's evil smile, Jade sighs, because he should have expected this.

"If we have to get new dinner sets, should we sell the old ones to offset the cost then?" Jade's already thinking about how to offset the terrible financial blow—and also calculating how many quests he will have to do in his spare time.

Okay, he's probably not going to have spare time again.

It's like Jade's back home. How nostalgic.

"I do not want to think about that. What if we'd broken a table?" Granted, that might have been fun because Jade can imagine all sorts of things they could have done. "He'd probably expect us to fix it ourselves."
