The Tako Luka Trio arrives!
So yesterday, right after Duriel left for work, the postman knocked at the door and delivered a package. We have so many things in the mail right now, I almost wasn't sure what it was, but then Gabriel helpfully pointed out that the box was from HLJ and therefore was likely the Tako Luka trio we had ordered some time ago.

Gabi: The Tako Lukas have been in there for a while now because they were held up in Memphis because of the big snow storm. I hope they're all right.
Gabriel: Well, after giving birth, a female common octopus may live for about a month without eating. They suffer from programmed genetic death about this time, but will eventually starve if given enough time.
Gabi: Well, that's comforting, I guess.
Gabriel: Another important and little known fact about octopi:
Gabi: What's that?
Gabriel: They live under the water.
Gabi: . . .
Gabriel: . . . I think we should hurry and open the box to check on them.

So Gabriel and I worked on it, and we finally got the box open.

Then Gabriel bravely checked the inside of the box to make sure the Tako Lukas were okay.

After a minute or two, she popped out of the box with good news.
Gabriel: The good news is, the Tako Lukas appear to be all right, although one of them seems very hungry. She keeps drooling on me. The bad news is that I can only find two of them in here. There are supposed to be three, right?
Gabi: Hence "trio" in the title up there, yes.

Gabriel helped the two Tako Lukas out of the box and then stood pondering.
Gabriel: Do you think she escaped? I didn't notice her escaping, but I suppose she could be hiding anywhere. The main defense mechanism of the octopus is its ability to squeeze into tiny places and hide for ages.
Gabi: Uh, I think we might find her without all that much trouble, actually.

Drool Luka: Omnomnomnom.
:) Luka: I think we can help you.
Gabriel: Help me, help me how?
:) Luka: To find the other Luka-sister. Drool Luka, also will help.
Drool Luka: Omnomnomnom.

The Tako Lukas commenced trying to crawl up Gabriel, and as she was flailing around for balance, she caught a hold of a pink tentacle that soon dropped in front of her face. Aha! The other Luka had been found!

But too late, the Tako Lukas had been too helpful, and everyone fell over.

Gabriel: Mrrrph, mrrng, murhping moff.
Drool Luka: Omnomnomnomnom.

After much detangling of small pink tentacles, everyone was all right again, all Tako Lukas were accounted for and Gabriel was happy to see that they had not suffered due to their long transit in a box without any water whatsoever.
Gabi: Well, I guess we should have thought about it more. They are octopi made mostly of hair, after all.
Kyaa Luka: I am really happy to be out of that box WHEEEEEEEEEEEE~
Drool Luka: Maguro?
Gabriel: That's not maguro, that's my hand!
:) Luka: Now we are all very nice friends. Pleased to meet you!
Kyaa Luka: Happy to be friends WAAAAAAAIIII~
Drool Luka: ::drool:: Maguro. ::drool::
Gabriel: Stop chewing on me!
The End <3.










Really funny ^_^the Tako lukas are so cute !!!
Thank you! It was too much of a handful to keep them all here, so we sent :) Luka to Duriel's work to sit on his monitor there. Too bad she was the most level-headed! Drool Luka just wants to eat everything and Kyaa Luka thinks every time is party time.
Ha ha! This is a great shot.
Thank you! Not many girls will go head-first into a box filled with octopuses.
Heh, not knowingly, that's for sure! She must be brave!
Really cute story. Thanks!
Thank you for reading it :)
Cute pictures! The drooling Tako Luka is so cute xD
All she can think about is tuna!
Release (More like unleash) the tentacles! XDc
I know, you'd think a girl would be more concerned when she's in a photoshoot surrounded by so many tentacles! I guess Tako Luka are not really that threatening even when they mob you.
haha... looks like they are having a lot of fun.^^
They had a lot of fun, and I fed Drool Luka some cakes right after, so she would stop chewing on Gabriel. Now I will have to find some tuna for her, because I am not sure how long cakes will satisfy her!
haha - I love these shots. She looks very confused. :D
Thank you :) She was very confused, and I think she was also a good sport to submit to being covered in tiny pink talking octopuses.
XD
This is what happens in your house while you are at work!
Gabriel is quite cute, she reminds me of FF7's Aerith
That is a nice thing to say, since I think Aerith is a great girl character. Gabriel is a work in progress right now, so I hope she will be even cuter once she is more finished :)
Haha... the LUKAs are all funny... ^^,
Thank you :D Yes, they're all very special in their own ways.
hahaha! This picture is so epic XD I liked the way you told this story, very funny, congratulations! ^_^)b
Thank you very much :D It was my first time making a real photostory that was more than just an introduction, so I'm glad it was funny :)
Tako Lukas... makes me want to have them too
They are ridiculously adorable :) You should get at least one, if you have the chance. Kyaa Luka is my favorite, but they are all cute <3.
And Neko-chan was just there to "help" the octopi...riiight.
As you might expect, Sano is there to climb into the box as soon as Gabriel and the octopi have vacated it. He thinks it is just the right size for a giant old man cat X3
So fanny and so cute!^^
Sorry, I made grammatical mistake, my English skills is very bad:(
I wanted to say, so funny and so cute!!!!^^
Don't worry ^^ I understood what you meant :) Gabriel and I are very happy you liked it <3
Haha^^
Nice story, Drool Luka is very funny! :p
Need to get those as soon as I can.
