"Come on, Shuichi! It'll be fun!" Kaede pestered Agent 3.
"I don't know about that," Agent 3 replied back. "I mean, isn't that job dangerous?"
"Well, of course it is, but it's also fun! Just a couple shifts of Salmon Run? Puh-lease?!"
"…Fine." Agent 3 gave in to Kaede's requests. She had been pestering him all day to go with her to Salmon Run. "Who's going to be with us?"
"Hmm… I think I invited Korekiyo and Kirumi," Kaede said.
"That's one too many K's," Shuichi joked.
"Alright, before they come…" Kaede remained silent, thinking to herself in her head. Looking around, Agent 3 realized that the Salmon Run place looked very shady. Standing near the entrance for Kaede, she suddenly pushed him in with her.
"Right on time, kid. I've got work for ya." Mr. Grizz welcomed Kaede. As for Shuichi, he was roped into two training sessions.
As Shuichi came back from the trainings, he saw Kirumi, Kaede, and Korekiyo all waiting for him. "Ready to work some shifts, Shuichi?" Kaede asked him.
"Sure, I guess," Agent 3 responded. "I already went through the training, so I'm pretty sure I'll be ready."
All four inklings boarded the boat headed for one of the restricted areas and waited.
"Hey, Shuichi, don't you find it a bit odd that there's these inklings around the square with weird hair?" Kaede asked him.
"Huh? …Oh! Those inklings. Yeah, that is a bit strange," Agent 3 said, masking the fact that those were actually, in fact, octolings.
"First it was Marina, then it was the vast majority of the inklings! I do wonder where they got those cuts?"
Korekiyo spoke up first. "Who knows? Maybe they are an entirely different species living among us. They do seem to resemble octopus hair."
Agent 3 tensed at Korekiyo's quick guessing. Could he have really found that out that easily?
Kirumi joined in the conversation, saying, "It could be anything, though. It could be a simple matter of a choice in haircut, or a matter of a different species."
The boat's horn honked, signaling for them to get onto the island. All four inklings superjumped to the center of Marooner's Bay.
Every inkling was assigned a weapon: Kirumi got an Explosher, Shuichi got Glooga Dualies, Korekiyo got a Splat Brella, and Kaede got a Splatterscope. "Oh, carp. I'm not really that good at Splatterscopes," Kaede commented.
The battle began, and the sky suddenly turned dark. The shoreline was revealed, letting the team step onto the new land. Two ink cannons lay on each side of the shoreline, signaling a Cohock Charge. As the four inklings made their way down to the shoreline, Massive numbers of Cohocks flooded the shore. Korekiyo and Kaede got into the cannons to shoot them while Agent 3 and Kirumi continuously gathered Golden Eggs. Eventually, the quota was met, and the Cohocks fled the shoreline.
As the four inklings superjumped back to the spawn, they were all equipped with the same weapons, but each weapon now belonged to a different person. Kaede had the Brella, Agent 3 had the Splatterscope, Korekiyo had the Explosher, and Kirumi had the Glooga Dualies. The sky grew dark again, but the shoreline didn't open up. Must be either a Glowfly event or a Griller event, Agent 3 thought to himself.
It was a Glowfly event. Glowflies swarmed him immediately as all the salmonids around dashed toward him. Kaede automatically got in front of him and splatted as many salmonids as she could, along with Korekiyo and Kirumi. The Glowflies disappeared, reappearing on Korekiyo, who had the brilliant idea of sticking on a high wall. Everyone splatted salmonids and collected Gold Eggs as fast as they could, and before they knew it, Kirumi had been splatted by the rush. Kaede revived her as fast as she could, given that the Glowflies were now on her. The second wave eventually ended, everyone jumping back to spawn once again.
Agent 3 was equipped with the Explosher, Kaede had the Glooga Dualies, Kirumi had the Brella, and Korekiyo got the Splatterscope. The island got foggy, and the four inklings were forced to stay together. Almost everyone got splatted at one point or another, but that's when one of their teammates would come through for them. Kirumi had saved them all once when they were all splatted in the same area, their life rafts clumped together, Agent 3 saved them when they were blown up by a Steelhead's bomb and rushed by salmonids, Kaede saved them last minute when she was about to get splatted, and Korekiyo took advantage of his special and revived them all.
Once the round was over, everyone gathered up and squid partied for a moment, then superjumped back to the boat.
"That was fun, don't you think?" Kaede asked Agent 3.
"That was… better than I expected, at least," He replied.
"Oh, come on, I know you liked it!" Kaede said, making Agent 3 smile.
Session#2
Angie, Gonta, and 7 others the chatroom.
Kokichi: Eh? 7 more?
Tsumugi: What's wrong?
Kokichi: Isn't there only 8 of us?
Angie: True…
3rd_Agent: Oh, hi. I kinda joined your session to see how guys are faring.
Maki: Who are you?
3rd_Agent: I'm an inkling.
Kokichi: Oh, hi. First the cameras now this?
3rd_Agent: I'm just checking, nothing more.
Ryoma: Seems suspicious…
Kokichi: Let's just get to reports. Tsumugi and Gonta, you guys are first.
Maki: Wait, you guys split up again?
Kaito: Didn't we split up too?
Maki: Nevermind.
Tsumugi: Wait so what are the groups now?
Maki: Kaito refused to split up so he stayed with me. Angie and Tenko are on their own.
Tsumugi: I'm with Gonta, and Kokichi and Ryoma stuck with each other.
Tenko: We really need to tell each other things like this.
Tsumugi: I guess I'll say our progress for Gonta. He's tired. After Bumpin' 8-Ball, me and Gonta spent the whole time trying to go through the Move It Move It Station.
Maki: Explain why?
Tsumugi: You have to dodge ink for 30 seconds. May not seem like it, but it's super hard. After that we managed to get to the Stamped-Up Station. Just taking a break here.
Kokichi: Well, my group didn't have that kind of trouble. Shrinky Ink Station was a piece of cake, and actually, me and Ryoma split up after Radical Rails. But for the longest time now, I can't get past the Girl Power Station.
Ryoma: I just made it all the way to the Slap Bracelet Station.
Maki: After the Wassup 8-Ball Station, Tenko went up, Angie went down, and me and Kaito went straight ahead. We're at Gnarly Rails Station.
3rd_Agent: What's up with the names?
Kokichi: Stupid telephone made 'em.
3rd_Agent: Telephone?
Kokichi: Explaining later. Tenko, tell us where you're at now.
Tenko: Brute Rollup Station.
Angie: I got to the All Eyez Station.
Maki: I'm planning on going to the Ink 'n' Slide Station, then snatching that Thang.
Kaito: I'l come with you!
Maki: Of course you will. I'm stuck with you.
Kokichi: I'm planning to make it past the Cool Your Jets Station and get the Thang there.
Ryoma: Can we *not* call them Thangs?
Kokichi: Then what do you propose?
Ryoma: Things.
Tenko: That'll get confusing easily.
Tsumugi: Gonta and I will make it past Matchmaker Station then get the Thing there.
Angie: Atua tells me there's a Thing just above the Righteous Rails Station, which I am going to right now!
Tsumugi: Seems Angie will get the first Tha- I mean, Thing.
Kokichi: Well, let's all check in when we have the Thangs. Later, taters!
Tsumugi: Bye!
Tsumugi and 2 others have left the chatroom.
Angie: Byeonara!
Angie and 3 others have left the chatroom.
Kokichi: ….
3rd_Agent: Stay safe.
3rd_Agent has left the chatroom.
Kokichi has left the chatroom.
