Hey guys! So I might not be able to update as often due to time constraints (cough-math grades-cough) but I will try to work on chapters as much as possible until I inevitably lose my electronics due to this. Anyway, ONTO THY CHAPTER COMRADES! BANZAI!
Chapter Two: Established Relations
Jacob and the octo person stared at each other for a while, the octo-person (girl?) walked forward a bit and closed the metal door behind her.
She continued to stare at him until he said, "Uh..hello!?". He added a quick wave before closing his eyes and smiling a bit. He re-opened his eyes as he continued to stare at the entity watching him. She slowly but surely brought her hand up and waved back at him. They continued to watch each other for a few more seconds before the octo-girl said something to him in the gibberish language. Jacob looked back before pointing to himself, then shrugging his shoulders and pointing back at her. She seemed to get what Jacob was trying to convey as her eyes widened and she nodded.
Jacob walked back over to his makeshift bed and turned his laptop back on. The octo-girl walking closer to the metal bars that separated the two. She sat with her legs crossed, observing the laptop Jacob was using.
"Interested in the laptop?" Jacob said. The girl looked up at him a bit, startled. Jacob picked up the laptop and walked over to the bars before sitting down with his back to the bars so the girl could see the screen. She looked at the glowing screen with curiosity shining brightly in her ocean colored eyes.
She watched as he played a video clip of a large submarine breaking through the ice of the Arctic Circle. The girl watched in amazement as the large metal tube caused the ice to crack and shatter.
"Oh! I almost forgot." Said Jacob as he paused the video, much to the dissapointment of the octo-girl.
"Jacob." He said as he pointed to himself. He then pointed to the girl.
The girl repeated Jacob's name and mustered a small voice.
"A-Andorra" she said as she quickly looked down at the concrete floor.
Jacob closed his eyes and smiled. Maybe this octo-girl could be a friend in this strange new world.
Somewhere else
"Dude, come on. I have been sitting here for 6 minutes." Said an orange tentacled Inkling girl, huffing in annoyance as a blue tentacled inkling boy came running out of a room with a small purple bag on his back.
"Sorry, Rach. You know I take longer to get ready."
"Oh my- I have known you for 7 months. You don't usually take THIS long."
"Well, I'm special."
The girl, named Rachel, sighed before turning to face away from the boy.
"I hate you." She felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and pressure was felt on her back.
"No you don't." Said the boy as he rested his head in her back.
"Ok, ok Luke. You got me. Now let's go. You know how impatient the others can be."
"Alrighty."
"Cap said that the Octarians were stationing more guards at that one prison than usual. He'll most likely want us to investigate."
"Ok, so we are gonna go FBI on these dudes."
"What's the FBI?"
"The FBI was a secret agency that defended one of the former nations."
"Oh, similar to the Splatoon."
"Yep."
"Ok. Let's go now."
"ONWARDS!"
Rachel giggled as she walked out the door of her apartment with Luke.
(AN: If you guys don't understand this, Luke isn't an ordinary Inkling. He isn't from Inkopolis. And Rachel. Well just guess. COUGH AGENT 3 COUGH!)
Back to OCTO GURL
Andorra was very, very confused. This, thing (Hey!) just showed her some amazing thing on some amazing device and she had barely been there for 30 minutes. The creature called itself Jacob. It looked similar to the skeletons sometimes found underground.
She didn't understand a thing he said but she understood his hand signals. She watched as he set down his video player thing and dragged his backpack over the the iron bars. He dug around for a bit before pulling out a small earpiece.
He shouted "AD-AT! Siht ereh si ym rotalsnart." He appeared to be very happy about it. He put it in his ear and pressed a small button on the side causing a red light underneath to glow green. He then opened his mouth to speak.
"Hey, can #%$ hear me?"
"What the.."
"Can %$ he$ m?"
"Huh?"
She looked at Jacob for a moment before Jacob pulled the thing out of his ear and watched as it sparked.
"Ho rof s'dog ekas."
He looked towards Andorra and shrugged.
He then opened up his bag and dug around a bit before pulling out a small notepad.
He took out a pencil from a side pocket and drew a picture of a wrench, a screwdriver, a hammer, and a welder.
He showed it to her and pointed at it with the pencil, then he pointed it at her, and finally at the sparking device.
Andorra realized that he wanted her to bring some tools to fix up his device so she nodded. She heard a sudden beeping noise and looked at her wrist. Her watch was flashing a green light where the time was displayed. 6:30. Her eyes widened and she gestured towards the door after looking at Jacob. He nodded.
"Eyb!" he said with enthusiasm.
"See you later, Jacob." she said, even though she knew he couldn't understand her. She waved before standing up and heading towards the big metal door. She opened it and walked outside. She waited outside for a few minutes before Octan arrived to take her place.
"Hey Octan. Have fun in there."
"Oh joy, the one that plays loud music."
Andorra laughed a bit at her friend's complaint.
"He wasn't that bad."
"Sure."
She watched as Octan walked into the cell and shut the door behind him. Andorra walked down the hall towards the elevator to take her to the barracks.
As she stepped into the elevator she thought to herself, "I think I made a new friend.".
Howdy everyone! Hope y'all enjoyed. I just wanted to mention that I just recently made a Subnautica story called Subnautica: A Submerged Relationship. I recently re-watched some Subnautica videos by 8-Bit Ryan and I got Subnautica for the Xbox One on Christmas and I got inspired.
If you have any suggestions for improvement or for charcter build-up or even for the story itself, please review. Any questions can be PMed to me (PM to me).
Until next time, MINECRAFTLOVER 5575, OUT!
