Author's Note: I'm back and not dead! I was enjoying my summer break away from the stress of college and I wanted to begin writing again I may be a bit rusty but with a bit of practice I'll be back to my old writing self again!
Spicy Pre-game Lobby
After a really awkward breakfast between cyan and I, we once again head out towards inkopolis tower to participate in some turf wars,
"I'm still new to this, but I hope I don't slow you down" I say patting cyan on the back which seems to perk her up, "Yeah Yeah yeah whatever just don't get in my way" she replies punching my shoulder, "don't worry you'll do fine just don't get splatted and ink any turf that not ours, but if it does come down to it just splat them before they splat you" cyan adds as we step into the lobby.
A couple of minutes later we manage to find a game with some level 50 squids, two boys and a girl, "so you're a fresh level 1 huh?" says one of the squids, "yeah I'm very new to this, I know about turf wars but I have never been in one" I reply, "ohhhh where you from squid, calamari country?" asks one of the level 50's,
"Oh no no no no no… I grew up in New Ink City, its where Museum d'Alfonsino is located" I reply making all the inklings on my team jump back in surprise even cyan, "YOU'RE FROM NEW INK CITY?!" they all say in unison, "yes most of the time I don't get that reaction, mostly everyone is all like 'you're a city boy who don't know nothing about country life!'" I say doing my best impression of an elderly squid, "well I heard city squids are really cute" says one of the females in the room making cyan blush, "HE'S OFF THE MARKET!" cyan exclaims her face a furious shade of crimson
"Well if you must know city boy, my names Jenna and I'd love to teach you some things" purrs Jenna sitting next to me, "so tell me… what you want to know…" Jenna whispers into my ear drawing closer to me sending shivers up and down my back, "Jenna leave the boy alone you're scaring him, and I'm mike by the way nice to meet you" says mike plucking Jenna on the side of her head, "Fine but you won't get away so quickly next time city boy…" Jenna purrs before heading towards her original seat on the, but the name Jenna where have I heard it before?
"Hey city squid, I never caught your name" says the other squid extending his hand, "names' Nick don't wear it out", "nice to meet you my name is coral… don't wear it out?" I reply shaking his hand awkwardly, "heh heh don't worry dude we won't bite, well maybe Jenna cuz' she's weird like that, but mostly we won't bite" he says placing his weapon, a paint brush on his shoulder,
"Ok now that formalities are out of the way let's get to business" says mike calling in for a team huddle, "so the map we are going to is Museum d'Alfonsino so I'm assuming that coral here is familiar with the place am I correct?" explains mike looking at me, "Y-yes I know the place like the back of my hand" I reply while mike nods in agreement, "ok great so let's use some of your prior knowledge to set up some snipe points for me and some stress points on the map" he says making circular motions with his hands to signal what he's talking about, "o-ok from what I know from past visits there is a spot in the far lefty corner that is just out of reach of normal weapons, except a squelcher and its dual variant and other snipers, but other than that you're golden to camp there" I reply, "great for me, but wouldn't that spot have a lot of map coverage?" he asks me placing his left hand on his chin, "definitely, but the most you'll have to worry about will be other snipers rushing for the same spot as you, so I'd definitely go there I hope you're ready for a skirmish for that spot" I say to mike which he curtly responds with knocking his knuckles together signaling that he isn't scared of a fight,
"Anything else we should worry about?" asks cyan, "yes the middle of the museum is the most dangerous as everyone will be fighting for coverage especially rollers and snipers, but more importantly rollers", I reply to cyan she nods in agreement, "and advice for me handsome?" says Jenna, "uh-Uh-uh umm let-let's see here you can if you can stay out of the sight of snipers then you should be able to ink some side passageways that no one truly pays attention too" I stutter out in which she mulls over my response for a second then gives it the ok, "well team sounds like we got game plan going on we are nearing the museum platform as we speak so get ready" announces Mike the museum coming into view, "my first turf war I'm so excited" I say to myself giddy and nervous with anticipation, but mostly excited
