"Pressing" Issues

Basically another word for things that people on the Octopod complain about and scold each other for all the time.

Kwazii will never stop complaining about the Captain's accordion. Every single time the Captain plays it, Kwazii will start yowling and screeching and begging for the Captain to stop. It makes a "lovely" duet, and in fact, it inspired almost everyone to join in their wonderful duet of begging them to stop.

Dashi and Peso will always sweetly ask Tweak and Kwazii to be a good influence on the kids and not cuss each other out when the kids are around. They have the sneaking suspicion the kids cannot have learned the phrase, "that dumb bast-rd cat" on their own.

At the same time, the Captain is suspicious on how Tweak and Kwazii learned how to call each other "sh-heads" in German and Spanish. The Captain knows who's behind it. He's only debating on whether or not he should tell Dashi and Peso.

Peso will constantly scold the kids on what they are and are not supposed to do to their bodies for "fun" like trying to fly. He'll always cuddle them afterwards for fear of scaring them or hurting their feelings while telling them, "I'm sorry it was so tough. I just don't want you to get hurt, okay?"

The baby Vegimals will make little Vegimal Pyramids when they get bored, but they always fall down, which scares Shellington half to death as he dives to save his sweet little babies from falling and immediately rushes them all to Peso.

The bathroom on the Octopod is a disaster. In the mornings, nights, basically any time, there's at least one creature banging on the door and begging for whoever's in there to hurry up.

Plus the state of the bathroom. Pinto thought it would be funny to undo all the toilet paper and see how long it was, so the bathroom's practically mummified and the shower curtain hanger's pulled down from the last time Kwazii was in there, not to mention how much it smells like perfume. (Dashi's fault...)
