IP: *squid*

Astra: *floofball (cat)*

IP: blehh

Astra: meow

IP: *inkling noises*

Astra: ^^

IP: woomy!

Astra: meow!

IP: *hug da catstra*

Astra: -w-

IP: woomy

Astra: I'm curious... what does woomy actually mean?

IP: its an expression of joy
For example yelling it after doing something cool can mean “Booyah!”

Astra: oh

IP: yea
Mostly used by girls too so its kinda considered feminine but recently its been used by guys too

Astra: I've also heard octolings say it but there's a bit of an accent, so it's more of a "weomy"

IP: yea, kinda a combo of “woomy” and “oomi”, “oomi” being another expression of joy but mostly used by octoling guys

Astra: that's probably just from them trying to fit in after coming to the surface

IP: yea

Astra: :P

IP: *very smol squid*

Astra: *hugs le smol squid with her little paws*

IP: *squeaky toy noise*

Astra: *trying not to laugh*

Astra: it's cute though, you're like a lil' plusbie :3 ... I wonder if inkmatas or pearl do this too...

IP: I wouldn't be surprised if PF squeaks too tbh

Astra: wanna test that?

IP: yea

Astra: ok... where is she?

PF: *nearby and being a derpy* :P

*astra goes to normal form and walks over to her*

Astra: hey pearl, me and IP wanted to test something. Can you go into octopus form for a second?

PF: oke *octo*

Astra: *picks her up and squeezes*

PF: *squeak* :P
IP: knew it

Astra: hehe

PF: :P
IP: …you know, she’s really weird
Like for some reason she acts like a little kid

Astra: she goobre

IP: no in like a weird way
And she used to not act like this

Astra: oh

PF: :P
IP: idk it might be a trauma response or something

Astra: wait what trauma-

IP: you existed during the first Inkperial era, right?

Astra: yeah

IP: so from what I know
Mama Inkmatas was kidnapped and her death was faked, and mom Pf was like “Nuh uh I KNOW she ain't dead” and they kidnapped her and put her in a straightjacket and sentenced her to death

Astra: ... Yeah the inkpire was awful.

IP: I know.
I was drafted in the second era.

Astra: they also had a pedo as one of their top commanders I think... idk I forget what apex was

IP: I think that one was different
Didn't he hit on Hakai?

Astra: yeah he hit on hakai. Who is 16.

IP: thought she recently turned 17

Astra: ... Oh, right. But she was around 16 during the inkperial era

IP: yea ik

Astra: I wonder what happened to him... didn't he escape prison or something?

IP: *shrug*

Astra: tbh if collector ever finds him I'm not sure if he'll kill him himself or bring him to hakai so she can do it

IP: I wouldn't be surprised at either situation
