It's about that time of year again, isn't it?
Today, as I was preparing to set up shop, I spotted a cluster of three creamtopi (Is that the plural of creamtopus? Uncertain.) that reminded me of neopolitan ice cream. It seems this trio was doing their best to appeal to tourists for snacks by stacking atop eachother, like one tall ice cream cone. Though it was much too early in the morning for anyone to be up, let alone visiting the beach...
More observations to come.
In the middle of the day, I spotted a lone creamtopus crawling along the shore. It happened upon a discarded bag of soggy cheese puffs... and I couldn't help but watch it fish one out to sample. Almost immediately it shriveled up in disgust and simply laid there until I walked over and gave it a spoonful of mango sherbet.
This one has a mark on the right side of its head as if it were partially melted, but that doesn't seem to bother it now that it's regained its energy. Off it goes to find its friends...
And off I go to throw away this litter.
Near the end of the day, I happened to spot two creamtopi—a pink one and a white one—shuffling along the coastline. The white one looked to be… chasing the pink one, for some reason. Was this some sort of creamtopus date gone wrong?
Ah, the white creamtopus has caught up. It looks as if they're having a heated talk… oh no, it looks as if the white one has been struck across its face with a strawberry-flavored tentacle. The pink one shuffled away angrily as the white one simply wandered off in a different direction… ouch, that's rough buddy. I'll grab one of the leftover ice pops to give to it momentarily.
Haven't seen the creamtopus with the weird mark again yet… I'll give it a couple days.
During one of the hottest stretches of the day, a small group of creamtopi have gathered underneath one of the umbrella tables I have set out for customers. Thankfully, most people are letting them rest peacefully… but I've had to shoo off a couple rowdy baos who keep trying to disturb their peace.
I brought out a big bowl of shaved ice for the crowd. They seem grateful… and that just warms my stuffing to the core. They're… so darn cute…
Creamtopus Catalogue - Zest (Day 1): I saw my very first Creamtopus today. It approached me quite politely and reminded me of chocolate... and it was just as sweet! I shared my cup of shaved ice with it (as it seemed interested) and it followed me everywhere afterwards.
Creamtopus Catalogue - Zest (Day 2):
I was on the lookout for a fellow cataloger today to partner up with when I spotted Doodle snoozing away under a beach umbrella. To my surprise, there was a small group of creamtopi clustered around. Knowing Doodle's eating habits, they must have smelled the crumbs and come scuttling as quick as they could!
(Note: I wonder just how good their sense of smell is!)
Creamtopus Catalogue - Zest (Day 3):
Ever since I learned that creamtopi migrate to the coasts of Abaolone (for its famous summer delicacies), I was curious to see just how entranced they were with food from the Archipelago versus food from New Bao City. I brought biscuits from Rosebeary's Bistro to test out and, lo and behold, they really weren't as interested! Most of the creamtopi (8 in this group) took note of the treats I brought, but moved on quickly. Just as I was about to call it a day though, a creamy white (like vanilla) Creamtopus came closer and happily took its time munching through all the biscuits I'd laid out.
(Note: What a brave Creamtopus! Glad I could provide a meal!)
Day 21: The beach is officially lost, as well as a significant part of the coastline in this country. There has been an increase in sand castles all over the concrete, the creamtopus invading the streets and making commuting impossible. Baos have resorted to eating them. It's the apocalypse.
A young creamtopus was spotted enjoying some shaved ice left on the sandy beaches. It was a chocolate octopus, yet it seemed to enjoy the blueberry syrup all the same.
