This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Let me try to, anyway.
IIRC, you start the game in the aquarium as an octopus, and then escape. That's when you're explicitly shown to be an octopus. Every NPC, however, sees the octopus in some amount of disguise. So even if we constantly roll a nat 1 on perception check like all the NPC, we didn't have to roll it on the first encounter, therefore we know it's an octopus.
You don't remember correctly. The aquarium escape is near the end of the game and the first time we see him out of disguise. We start the game at his wedding and then time skip to his house, he starts clothed both times.
Is that so? Then, I stand corrected and retract my complaint, it somewhat makes sense now. And in my defense, it's been more than a decade since I played and I think I finished it in one sitting, so it's a blur.
