Quick author's note: this is my first fanfiction and hopefully not my last. Expect some rookie mistakes here and there but anyway I hope to be able to entertain you and myself doing this. I do not own splatoon in any way shape or form, but these OC's are indeed mine, so ask before you use them in any story you may write
DETAILS:
"Well now" - talking
'Hello there' - thinking
The * #$ you said to me?! - shouting or moster voice
Well, let us begin
(Warning, chapter 10 and 11 are glitched for some reason, Im working on it to fix it)
O – O – O – O
"The egg basket is ready and waiting. Now go and get me some Golden Eggs!"
It was probably the tenth time on that day William heard that, not that he really minded it. Will was a profreshional in salmon run, it was mostly all he did, he did went to the tower to play Turf War or Clam blitz every now and then but never let those stay in the path between him and his passion.
"Looks like the fog's rolling in. Stay sharp. NO SLACKING!"
Will knew all about his job, types of enemies, types of bosses, how to defeat them with the most efficiency and less use of ink, how to deal with multiple enemies in cornered situations, the precise timing of recovery from a frying pan hit, how to bug the system of grillers, you need it? He knew it.
"I can feel it… The Gold One approaches! Find it and ink it until it drops its Golden Eggs"
He has been doing this for cod knows how long tirelessly, he didn't even mind the horrible smell or getting splatted every now and then, while it's an horrible sensation for many, he got used to it, and the pain was less each time, of course, that doesn't mean he liked it, it was still bad
"WHAT A HAUL! The sea has blessed you with its bounty. I should think about giving' ya a raise."
Those words were weird blessings to his ears, knowing someone was proud of him made his day more than anything, and knowing he was one of the very few people that could bring a hundred eggs in one run filled him with a huge pride that no turf war win streak could.
"Now that was a trill, I think I will be going for today guys" he waved goodbye to his coworkers. Will was about to leave the building, but just before he left he heard a voice "hol' up kid" he immediately did a U-Turn and went to the front of his boss radio statue "Yes boss?"
"Kid you've been working here for so long that I almost forgot when you started, and you are by far one of, if not the BEST employee I ever had so I wanted to give you a little gift for your efforts" Grizz said.
An inkling girl with an atomic orange hair and slightly dark skin came out of the door appeared holding a big box with the Grizzco logo on it, she left the box on a nearby table and left without saying a word. After opening the box, saying that he was surprised would be too little, he was shocked to say the least
"I managed to talk the judge into allowing you to have one of these, so as long you don't use it on any battles nor load it with ink you should be fine" Will released a sigh of relief "Take it as an trophy only for you, cause I ain't messing with that judge again" Will soon after bowed to the statue.
"Its an honor boss, thank you for doing that for me" He said,
"No problem kid, now go home and take a rest, you took down the mothership at least four times at high tide just today, you really need to get some rest".
As Will left the building some of the incoming workers recognized him, and complimented him, they asked something about Grillers and he answered soon after, after that one of the workers facepalmed and yelled " %#& I forgot that they come back if you dont keep shooting them.", 'Well that was one hell of a mistake, probably a rookie that didn't listen to Mr. Grizz'. The leader of those workers thanked him and soon the group headed inside the building.
Taking out a ticket of his pocket Will headed to the crust bucket for a Seanwich, "Sup' squiddo" Sean said.
"Heya Sean, can I get two of the usual" Will asked. "Sure thing" he responded.
As Will sat down and started eating his food he saw two inklings in particular leaving Deca Tower called his attention, "over here!" he said, the two approached.
"Hey Will" they said in unison.
"Please stop talking at the same time, I know you two are twins but that creeps me and almost everyone out" He said.
"Sorry" they said in unison again. One mental sigh later Will asked for them to sit down with him.
These were Lin and Nin, the inkling twins, outside the fact that they being from different genders it was a surprise to most that the two weren't the same person, they had the same personality, same tastes, same weapon choices, same natural ink color(purple), same clothes, they are basically carbon copies, not only that but they constantly talked together like that, people were starting to speculate they are some sort of symbiote.
Will met them on clam blitz, they basically carried the team using octobrushes, and kept meeting them from time to time, now they became friends and met almost every day around this time. They had great potential.
After chatting with them for a little while and trying to avoid all of the questions of why he didn't appear last splatfest, Will got up and waved goodbye for the two and left in quite a rush.
He had work to do.
O – O – O – O
Arriving his on apartment and leaving his box on the table Will went right to his room to check if his little friend was still there.
"Crustyyyy…." He said.
"Hic hic hic" he heard back.
"Got your favorite…" He said shaking the bag with the seanwich.
"hiiiiiiiic!" he heard as a smallfry with yellow scales and fins came out of the door dashing towards him, Will sat down and took the food out of the bag, at this point Crusty was going nuts. Will left the food on a plate and watched as the little guy digged into the food.
Something about that little guy changed Will when he met him, one cant tell exactly what that would be, but it was something wicked, something sinister growing from his passion about salmonids.
A obsession.
