Octavinelle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
NRC School Newspaper Feature Interview with the Birthday Student ~Floyd ver.~
Happy birthday!
Floyd Floyd	Oh, Shrimpy came to celebrate. Thanks~
How are you feeling with everyone celebrating for you?
Floyd Floyd	It’s loud and tons of fun. We had parties back home, but none were ever this noisy. I like the ones here better, ‘cause they’re not so formal.
There have been rumors that you keep a stash of sweets in your room. Is this true?
Floyd Floyd	Huh? You don’t do that, Shrimpy? Don’t you ever get hungry before going to sleep, even after eating dinner? Me ‘n Jade aren’t done growing yet.
What’s your favorite sweet?
Floyd Floyd	Hm… It depends on how I’m feeling that day… A while ago it was peppermint candy. Last week it was melon soda gummies… And yesterday I was eating almond biscotti. I think I like things that are hard to chew more than I care about the flavor. I also like the ones you can only eat on land. If you ever find some weird candies, could you give some to me, Shrimpy?
I’ll keep note of that. Next, what’s your favorite food?
Floyd Floyd	It’s… takoyaki~! Oh, do you know what takoyaki is? Huh? You do? You don’t really know a lot about this school, but you actually know about those? Me and Jade and some other students in our dorm had some the other day after the Mostro Lounge closed. Turning ‘em over is actually pretty hard, but I kept doing it till I got really good at making them. Takoyaki means “octopus balls,” but you can put other stuff inside and that way you won’t get sick of them.
What ingredients have you tried in them?
Floyd Floyd	First I made them with shrimp and cheese! And then sausage, oysters… Tomatoes, broccoli, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate, anchovies, potato salad, devil’s tongue jellies…
I see you’ve tried out a lot.
Floyd Floyd	Yeah! It ended up turning into a contest over who could make the weirdest combo… All of ‘em were so gross, it was hilarious! But Azul gets mad at us when we waste food, so we had to make sure to eat all the evidence. You should do it with us next time, Shrimpy~ It’s a promise, okay?

You often have your collar open. Is it uncomfortable when it’s buttoned up?
Floyd Floyd	Not that it’s uncomfortable, it’s just annoying and I don’t like it. I’m good at strangling, but I don’t like having it done to me. I didn’t like wearing clothes when I first came on land either. It felt like I always had seaweed wrapped around me. Then you gotta wash fabric clothes right after you wear ‘em, right? Why do humans have to do all that? It didn’t make sense to me. But I like picking out clothes now. It’s fun wearing all kinds of colors. Shrimpy, did you know all the bright colors you see on land look real dark underwater? And then aside from clothes, you also get shoes and accessories… Dressing up on land is so much fun~ But they start to pile up in my room when I buy things and then it gets hard to deal with. Jade always cleans our room so I’ve asked if I could leave them in the empty space. But he just immediately goes “No.” Ugh… Maybe they’d let me have another dorm room to use for storage.
Do you like collecting anything?
Floyd Floyd	Huh? Jade ‘n Azul like collecting plants and coins and things, but… I lose interest fast so I don’t really collect any… Oh, wait. I’m not really collecting them, but I bought some eel merch the other day.
What kind of things did you get?
Floyd Floyd	A loose-fit graphic tee and a keychain where the mascot on it is makin’ a funny face. There’s a legend saying “The Sea Witch had very capable moray eels as her henchmen.” So eels are seen as really tough under the sea. We’re carnivores too. But the eel merch they sell on land is weirdly cute. It’s really funny. I guess this how humans see eels? I gave the T-shirt I bought to Jade and he happily put it on, aha! But Azul said “Don’t go out in those clothes.” They’re so cute, though. Wasn’t that rude?

Do you like your merman or human form better?
Floyd Floyd	When I first turned into my human form, I didn’t know how to use my legs ‘n my body was just heavy… I really felt like turning back into a merman and going back to the water. But I don’t think it’s that bad anymore. You only see fish and merpeople in the Coral Sea, but there’s all kinds of people at this school. So it never gets boring. Also~ if I wasn’t on land, I wouldn’t be able to play basketball or dance, so I think it’s really fun. I’ve been interested in parkour lately too!
What’s parkour?
Floyd Floyd	Oh, you don’t know? You kick off handrails and walls to climb buildings~… It’s a sport where obstacles will get in your way, and you have to try not to stop moving as best as you can and head for the goal.
It seems difficult.
Floyd Floyd	I don’t really think about it being easy or difficult. I’ve always loved games like obstacle course races.
There are obstacle course races in the sea…?
Floyd Floyd	Yeah. You score goals and swim through a set route inside a sunken ship. A lot of sunken ships get really messy ‘cause things are broken everywhere inside of ‘em, so a lot of things get in your way while you’re swimming. You wanna avoid obstacles without having to move too much so you don’t lose your swimming speed. And whoever gets to the goal the fastest wins! …See, it’s kinda like parkour, right? That’s probably why I like it. I love learning new moves, and the way it’s just like taking off when you’re swimming is really fun. There’s no real strategy or “right” way to avoid things, so nothing’s holding you back… you’re also more free? I hate having to follow strict rules… Oh! But one time, there was a day that I overslept and used parkour to get into the classroom from the window. The teacher got really mad at me. But shouldn’t it have been really amazing that I tried so hard not to be late? Next time I’ll have to not get caught, ehe!
Thank you for sharing all of this with us. Once again, happy birthday!
