Orca's POV:
"Okay, Orca. Today is the day of your first official turf war." I muttered to myself as I looked in the mirror. My pajamas were still on. I walked over to the closet of my apartment and quickly changed into a red sweatshirt with white lettering, black gym shorts and my red high-horses. The gym shorts were a little snug, but it didn't matter.
I'm a firefly squid, by the way. I have medium length dark blue tentacles with glowing bottoms. Unlike normal squids, the blue part couldn't be color changed. Only the bottoms could. I stuffed my tentacles up into a ponytail.
I stuffed my green backpack with everything I needed, then rushed out the door and locked it behind me.
After making it out of the apartment buildings, I pulled my skateboard out of my bag and began to ride on the sidewalk.
I skate past other people like me who were on their way to watch the turf war. The thing is, they were only watching. I was going to be in it.
Not only am I going to play, I'm going to meet my team. They were going to be permanent for who knows how long. They're all supposed to be the same level as me, but are they the same skill?
I finally arrive to the giant dome. Today we're supposed to be playing at Kelp Dome, where it's very humid. I walk into the large building next to the dome. This building is where players meet before going in and where everybody prepares for the live broadcast of the event. I'm a roller, by the way. A Kraken Roller.
When I walk in, I see a lady with red tentacles in a bun.
"Hey, Margaret." I say to her, pulling my ID out of my pocket and showing it to her. She smiled and waved. Margaret was a friend of my mom's. She's one of the people who helped me get my career here.
I stepped onto an elevator and went up quickly. I walked down a long hallway until I found my room. Room 314. I was told this was going to be my 'Dressing room' where I get ready before going into a turf war. I walked inside using the key I got. Nobody was in there yet. I set down my backpack down and sat on the blue couch in there.
My dressing room is pretty barren so far, with a blue couch, plain walls and a mini fridge. There's also a bathroom. I was told I could decorate it how I wanted, but I haven't yet. I pull out my phone. There's still half an hour before the actual turf war, but we need preparation, and people who are coming to watch need time to arrive.
I look at the text messages. Our team's coach, Coach Cruise, told me to meet my team 5 rooms down from where I am. I put my phone away, get up and walk there. I step inside.
"There you are." Coach says. He's pretty young, only 30. He has green eyes and short blue tentacles.
I look around at my other teammates. There's an albino squid girl with really short tentacles and red eyes sitting on a beanbag chair in front of me.
I see a really tall squid guy with yellow eyes and brown tentacles. He must be a Giant Squid. I also look over to a short, normal guy with red tentacles and blue eyes.
They all seem really nice. The albino is named Marina, she has a Splat Charger. The tall guy is Finn with a Tenatek Splattershot and the short guy is Ray with a 52 Gal.
After talking to them for awhile, our coach gives us a pep talk. Before we know it, it's time to go to the arena and do the battle.
