.......it is harder to see that far down. And we do not have the same variety of flavors....especially in regards to sweet things. Not to mention we do not heat our food for obvious reasons. Smell...I spent a large part of the first day on land just smelling as many things as I could.
[...Conceding, after a sigh. Azul's merman information actually is of interest to him.]
...Everything you can list off as overwhelming or interesting, smell, sound... All of that is as important as sight is to anyone else on land. Going without any of them would be like losing a limb.
Swimming in an octopus pot, hmmm? That would be quite the struggle. They are intended to be a snug fit to assist withe helping one calm down, afterall.
Although...if this were my normal body....I would have limbs to spare.
Sure, it's calming for you. Trap one of these guys in a small space, though,
[glancing around the room at literally everyone else]
and we'll see what happens. And for that matter...
...Sayin' it's like being blind wouldn't mean anything for you either. More like, if you were suddenly in the middle of the savanna with someone blasting music and strobe lights in your face. Exposed as you could be, with no idea where to go next.

Like a human trying to swim in an octopus pot.

The added resistance of gravity must be part of why Floyd's big enough to give us a problem during the inter-dorms.
