Do we really know tommyrot's not a parakeet?
Tweet tweet!
ahem.
Dammit, now I'm hungry for teriyaki squid. Having it for lunch would entail borrowing the company car....
Hmmm... maybe for dinner....
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Don't squid also have that weird bone thing ?

My Joy of Cooking has instructions on how to clean a cuttlefish, so some people must eat them. Not this person though.
Maybe people stuff a cuttlefish inside a squid, and make squish. I bet it would go great with turducken....

They have a beak. I think that's the only hard part of their bodies....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that's what the birds like. I'm having strange flashbacks to having read a lot of pet care books as a kid.
Boy, was I wild and crazy! Sheesh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You can stuff both inside an octopus and make yourself an octosquish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If tommyrot is a parakeet, he's a very tall one. And not especially greenish-yellowish, from what I recall.
"octosquish" is a much better word than "turducken".

I can't even.
squids, cuttlefishes, octopuses, and allies
No one else is alarmed that the cephalopods have ::allies::!?! We're doooooooooomed and not in a cute reptilefan-actuary-returns-home-and-finds-love kind of way.

Yep. Which I've always known were called cuttlefish bones. But it was a revelation to me that they actually came from, well, squid. I learned this shortly after I dined on squid for the first time (verdict: nah) fresh from the Indian Ocean. The prep table was covered with those things.
I never knew. Never occured to me to wonder.
