The Logbook Pt. 2

The Kids As Adults

A/N- The end of another Logbook. I'll be starting on the Oneshots tomorrow, and lemme just tell you, there's gonna be a lot of Daddy Barnacles involved, ;).

The kids stayed the same as they were when they were little once they grew up, but they were somewhat different from the innocently sweet little monsters everyone had known before.

Pinto was a hardcore theater person. You cannot change my mind on this. He was also the most "outgoing" of all his friends and would be the only one trying to socialize at parties instead of hiding in the bathroom and watching Marvel movies on their phone the whole time (Squirt) or reading a book to avoid social contact (Koshi) or sitting in the corner plotting the murder of whoever dragged them to the party (Jane).

Koshi went to university and decided to study literature. All her little Octo-Adopted siblings considered her an idiot for it. In their logic, "Why would you pay like $500 to ruin books for the rest of your life and have your tail bored off when Inkling will do it for free?"

Squirt was in a science-focused college for two years then transferred to another branch of that college to be closer to a girlfriend he had gotten. He had a relatively tight-knit friend group who actually transferred with him. Squirt was the "smart one" in the group (aka the one everyone copied their homework off of)

Jane studied mechanical engineering for about half a semester before she was talked into going to animation school instead by a few friends. She dreaded telling Tweak, but when Tweak found out, she was visibly annoyed that Jane asked HER about it, saying ,"Girlie, what makes you think I have a say in this. It's your life, live it however you like."

Pinto had always wanted to be like Peso, so he went to medical school to study becoming a medic as well. Since he loved Peso so much, Pinto didn't actually move onto campus until his third year. When he did have to leave the Octopod, both he and Peso cried, and once he moved into his dorm, he called his Octo-siblings, the Captain, and Peso like 500 times to ask them stupid questions like "Wait, so can you put foil in the microwave?" and "What does that big button on my laptop do again?"

The baby Vegimals stay babies for life, and whenever their "big brother/sister" would return home, the cuties will immediately latch onto their legs and go, "I wuv you. Pwease don't leave again."

When Squirt first learned about consent, he started asking women he's known since he was 10 if he could sit next to them and if he could give them a hug whenever they were sad because he believed women had a right to their personal space as did men.

All the kids had a semi-dependency on caffeine. It may or may not have stemmed from less than four hours of sleep a night due to schoolwork and them overdoing it a "little" on the caffeine to ensure they'll stay awake the whole day.

Pinto and Squirt have learned not to cross women while it was that time of the month, but then they both realized that crossing women while they were hungover from either an all-nighter or alcohol wasn't a good idea either.
