Not Safe In The Water
Alvin and Julie were shredding DemonFish. Julie had delved deeper into the wonders of the DragonTear and discovered vast knowledge. Julie wasn’t exactly a geek but she knew here way around a virtual keyboard. It didn’t take her long to discover the information about DemonFish.
Oddly enough some of it was very new. Cody had published it recently.
So they were shredding DemonFish to dry.
Hauling in the first one in had been ‘interesting’ in the Chinese sense of the word. The dead one attracted others. They were cannibals. Alvin had to shoot some of them so that he could winch the dead ones up the cliff. Finally he just gave up. there must have been hundreds of the evil bastards in the water.
They field dressed the ones they had and tossed the offal into the water. The water boiled. Feeding frenzy. It was like chumming sharks, kind of fun actually.
Then they dragged their catch to a preselected spot and while Julie began to slice it into strips, Alvin built a drying rack. They’s see how DemonFish Jerky tasted. According to articles Julie had found it was supposed to taste pretty good. It was said to be an excellent snack when excessively drinking.
Then they received a Text.

I was just attacked by
a purple people eater.
It clouded my mind first,
Then a tentacle reached
out and snatched me
into it’s mouth
like an after diner mint.
The Omni-suit and Sam-u-el saved my neck.
Sam cleared my mind and told me
to ‘turtle up’
I did that and gave
the Monster a splitting headache.
Literally

Be very suspicious of
anything unusual in the water.

Stay in CLOSE contact with your Theophorz
be very attentive to what Zhe feelz.

That is all.

---Out---
Julie looked up from her slicing. Her eyes were bright with tears of laughter. Alvin’s were too. They began to laugh.
They laughed so hard that they couldn’t stand up any longer. Finally, when they could breathe. Julie said. “No Shit Sherlock”...
That set Alvin to laughing again and Alvin's laughter set Julie to laughing again. They both laughed until they cried, until they couldn’t breath.
“Not safe?”, Alvin said.
“Eat me?” Julie said.
And that would set them off again. They didn’t get much work done for hours.
