[Open] Slimy Little Hipsters

[agent2]

Who: Callie, Marie, Thida, and YOU
What: The new Squidbeak Splatoon is on a mission gone awry!
Where: The forests around the mansion
When: Saturday, June 25
Warnings: S for SPLATS

Why was there a... kettle... in the middle of the forest? A kettle with a grate on it? How long had THAT been there? It was very quiet in the clearing around the kettle. But then came a gurgling sound... A viscous liquid started to ooze through the grate, bubbling up like a backed up pipe. A white ooze filled up the kettle, until a shape burst out from it. It was... a squid? A greenish squid. And once it landed on the ground, it changed shape. Into a girl with white tentacles for hair, carrying what looked like a sniper rifle. But that wasn't the end of it. 

There came another squid. 

And then another. 

In no time flat, three half-human half-squid girls were there, each armed to the teeth. 

"I think we missed the target," the white squid said to the group, shouldering her rifle.

I dunno... This doesn't look anything LIKE Octo Valley, or Inkopolis.

[ AND FROM BEHIND ]

That's the last time we let Agent 2 drive!

[agent3]

[Theeere she is. Thida points to herself.]

Can't drive, though!

[agent2]

[Marie nodded at Thida, and without missing a beat, added on.]

And YOU don't have your license, Agent 1.

[agent3]

...We went too far?

[How long were they swimming anyway? Thida frowns, trying to see if her internal clock can come up with an estimate.]

[agent2]

I didn't think so... This FELT like the right distance. It's like the kettle network destination got swapped.

[agent3]

[...Going to just give you a blank stare.]

But...kettles're in the ground...

[You can't rip out an entire kettle system and replace it with something else that just doesn't happen]

[agent2]

Maybe the Octarians found some way to change it. They had some weird weapons in Octo Valley, after all... This is just really weird, either way. We should head back where we came from.

[agent3]

'Kay.

[Thida shifts, but she doesn't go down into the kettle just yet. The senpais should go first, after all.]
