AHOY THERE!

[The open video feed is clearly underwater, though visibility at any sort of distance isn't great. Arthur himself is showing up quite well--he's easy to spot thanks to the fact that he's wearing his orange-and-green superhero suit and carrying a large gold trident.]

Looks like the network CAN transmit from underwater--I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before!

[Arthur is clearly proud of himself. So proud.]

ANYWAY, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm HOT ON THE TRAIL of WHATEVER OUTRAGEOUS GIANT LOBSTER CREATURE THING is ROAMING AROUND LAS VEGAS! I haven't found anything YET, but I'm SURE it's only a MATTER OF TIME!

So what are you gonna do if you find it? I mean, chances are it'll be as big as that snake, right?

[italktofish]

Well, I'm going to TALK TO IT! It's a SEA CREATURE, isn't it? So THAT means that I'll be able to HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH IT!

[wirsinddiejager]

...Huh. What do you think a creature like that would even talk about? What do normal fish talk about, anyway?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Give him a moment to debate the pros and cons of talking to Arthur about anything.

[... Yeah, okay. Arthur is doing something potentially important. He's going to have to bear it.]

Not gonna try to take it on yourself, are you?

Voice

[italktofish]

I'm not going to try to take it on! I'm just going to try to TALK TO IT!

[He laughs.]

But if it doesn't want to talk, I can certainly defend myself with an old Atlantean one-two!

[Voice]

[dominateartimus]

Be careful. You don't know if it'll be hostile.

[Voice]

[italktofish]

But everyone thinks SHARKS are HOSTILE, and THEY'RE ALL RIGHT! Maybe it'll be GRUMPY, but I'm sure we'll TALK OUT OUR DIFFERENCES!

[senseandcecilbility]

[ There are so many questions he wants to ask, but first... ]

...How can you talk underwater?

video;

[italktofish]

Well, it's easy! I can BREATHE underwater! So it's just like TALKING IN AIR!

[originaloddcouple]

THAT'S INCREDIBLE!

I KNOW THAT YOU'LL CRACK THE CASE, ARTHRU!

[italktofish]

THANK YOU! YOUR SUPPORT MEANS A LOT!

And I'm STILL looking for a REALLY OUTRAGEOUS Elvis painting to send you! I haven't found a good one yet!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Good luck? And what are you planning to do after you find it?

[italktofish]

Well, I'm going to TALK to it, of course! Just hold a CIVILIZED CONVERSATION!

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

Wait, there actually is a giant lobster monster here!? I thought that was just stupid bullshit that the cultist were spouting.

You're not planning on fighting that thing alone, right? That's crazy!

[ Of course, she really can't help and what if it was huge like the snake and it would cause property damage like the snake and holy crap she really needed to calm down. No being an idiot over the network Linda. ]

[italktofish]

Well, I don't know if there is or not, but I'm going to FIND OUT!

And don't you worry--I'm not planning on FIGHTING it! I just want to TALK to it!

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Woah! You weren't kidding!

The orange and green outfit does look a lot better than it sounds!

Good luck with the giant monster hunting!

[Video]

[italktofish]

I TOLD you it was OUTRAGEOUS!

And thanks! Hopefully, the monster and I will have OUTRAGEOUS conversations together when I find it!

Please keep me posted, Mr. Curry.

DON'T YOU WORRY I WILL I EVEN PUT THE SPECIAL SPY PHONE IN A PLASTIC BAG SO I COULD TAKE IT WITH ME SEEMS TO BE WORKING ALRIGHT SO FAR I USED A BUNCH OF BAGS LIKE A LOT OF BAGS THEY DID REAL GOOD ON THE INFOMERCIAL ON TV WHEN THEY HELD A CAMERA AND HAD SOME DEEP SEA SCUBA DIVER USING IT BUT I BET I CAN GO DEEPER THAN HE DID

[testsonseashells]

Clever! Cameras have yet to turn anything up, but more difficult to fool actual person. If encounter any regular lobsters, should question them too—might find out where lobster rafts holding bodies came from, or lead on culprit.

voice

[italktofish]

Oh, don't you worry--I'm going to ask ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS to ANYTHING I find swimming down here!

[squicksilver]

[ ...

Ok he's just going to stare at the magnificence of that superhero suit and the trident for a minute. Or several. It's going to take him that long to form words. ]

Well the good news is, I don't think any of those pesky cultists will mistake you for a Numbered.

[ They'll just think you're a PERVERT ]

video

[italktofish]

REALLY? Because I was on TV for it and EVERYTHING when the GIANT SNAKE ATTACKED LOCKE!

[lackinginfaith]

You're going to attract attention.

[italktofish]

Me? ATTRACT ATTENTION? But I'm SWIMMING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!
