Graig:" ….o….k?….Then how do you explain the three sets of armor? I don't remember giving you anything" he asked while rubbing his head in confusion and how ludicrous all that sounds before looking back at me as I was inspecting the mask's unique design.
Wraith: "Boy I'm keeping this" I've said with a hint of joy before showing it to everyone.
Agent.3: "And what exactly are you planning to do with it anyway?"
Wraith: "Clean it up, turn it off and use it as a decoration of sorts once I redesign it on my own liking...unless I let them do the redesign instead. Yes it might just work!"
Zoe: "The design is actually really cool I have to say. Also the armor is a gift from our followers. They wanted to show appreciation for both rescuing and helping them with a briefcase from a previous soldier who's now working for us" she said before one said octoling follower waved to us while still on patrol, Zoe waved back to him with the tentacle.
I was just surprised that someone like him who's really not a big fan of inklings would hand us a full set of armor packed in the briefcase. Helmet, jacket and boots. The helmet consisted of triangular earpieces from the Hero Suit, but looking longer and pointed at the back. The back of the helmet and the fronts of the earpieces have glowing lights on them that change color depending on the number of pieces of armor equipped, black strap is buckled at the chin. Also depending on the number of pieces equipped are antennae, which appear on the sides of the helmet.
The Jacket is thick down with a large collar. It is black on the sleeves and the upper portion, but a vivid green from the armpits down. On the elbows and the left side of the chest are subtle dot patterns that change color depending on the number of pieces equipped. There is also a small set of fishing lures hanging from the wearer's waist, which, as The Art of Splatoon reveals, is meant to attract the opposite gender.
….I'm just reading this garbage right here, and I think it's a fucking joke. Because it does nothing outside, making her look even more ridiculous and less threatening. Whoever tweaked this and gave it an approval should be fired all the way to a better teaching school of how to actually make this really effective on making me hard. Because she already doing a good job on her own *Sigh*...moreover, these boots are thickly padded, mostly black on the outside with white interiors. Thick, light gray soles are secured to the wearer's feet by three vivid green straps, each with a white and gray arrow on it. Two of these straps are fastened to the top of the base of the shoe, with the third around the ankle. Just above the heel is a line of subtle dots that change color depending on the number of pieces equipped. Agent 3 can hold up to three sets of armor of three sets: Green lights, two antennas on the helmet…..nope, still not feeling anything. I should find a more suitable armor that is both more effective and worthy of a queen like her to walk on the battlefield with no shame.
Zoe just giggled at the thought as if she already scanned her entire body measurements, I mean I would be creeped out all the same but this is just up to me to find someone capable of creating such an outfit. And I need one who knows how a female body works in and out, to make her more efficient and powerful in battle.
I also learned that Inklings can alternate between a humanoid form and a squid form. The squid form resembles a small, cartoony, monochromatic squid. They have some small arms in the middle of their bodies, with two large tentacles on either side, resembling the hair of their humanoid form. It has a short mantle with relatively large fins, and two upward-facing, human-like gray eyes. The undersides of their enlarged tentacle heads are always white, regardless of what color the rest of them is, and they have a single large sucker on each. In this form, they are largely incompetent outside of their ink, but when swimming in it, they can completely submerge into it and swim at speeds far greater than humanoid form's running speed. They can even jump out of the ink to cover further distances and swim up ink-covered walls. However, this form is also largely vulnerable, as being inside of enemy ink in this form will force the Inkling back to humanoid form and make it easier for them to be splatted. The humanoid form has a black marking that resembles a mask around their eyes, pointed ears homologous to the squid's fins, and tentacles that serve as "hair", which changes color according to their ink color and gradient down to a darker tone of the color near the tips of them. The color is randomly selected out of predetermined pairs. Their mouths contain two ridges similar in shape to human teeth, as well as three larger sharp points, two on the top and one on the bottom, which resembles a squid's beak. The inside of an Inkling's mouth matches their ink color as well.
Female Inklings have noticeably thinner and shorter eyebrows than male ones who have thicker, longer and angled eyebrows. At least in that regard, moreover, many clothing items change to match the Inkling's current color. Both forms have a slightly different pitch to their voice. Both genders also have dark-toned oval spots at the ends of their tentacles making a darker ink color in contrast to the ink color they currently have. However, the spots in their squid form are much lighter than in human form.
As for their weakness which is kind of pathetic to be completely honest, they are unable to swim in water. When submerged, their body dissolves, leaving their clothes behind this may be because their bodies are made of liquid. Another reason to support this is that squid from Inklings can go through grates, possibly related to them being made of liquid. have a very thin and permeable outer membrane, which causes their ink to bleed out when in contact with water. They evolved this way to be able to transform freely between their squid and humanoid form, but lost the ability to be in water as a consequence. the Inklings' ink from their bodies will diffuse when submerged in water and which causes them to dissolve.
They are also capable of producing light, possibly from bioluminescence, an ability some real-life squid such as the firefly squid possess. In the dark, either during a Splatfest. Inkling will glow brightly in humanoid form, lighting up the area immediately around them. This glow disappears entirely upon assuming squid form. However, all Inklings (as well as jellyfish) in Inkopolis Plaza do give off a very faint glow during a Splatfest, seen only on the ground around them. It is also very noticeable underneath their hair which shows off many tiny rainbow dots slightly in the sunlight and brightly in pitch darkness.
While that is impressive all by it's own bio so far, there is Communication and language of the Inkling language, which sounds like indecipherable, high-pitched gurgling. So far, there have been no successful attempts at decoding the language, leading it to be that it's gibberish. I have to know how to decipher it, otherwise learning it would be near to impossible at the moment.
Graig:"Well whatever the case may be on how you do it, at least we know now that you're not affected by it. It makes our job a lot easier and so much harder for him to invade the city. He won't be pleased with the outcome, good bonus if you ask me. Hope you got a plan B, cus your 'little' affair won't go unnoticed. And you are the epicentre of attention so far as I heard. You could probably lead them into the danger zone of both hate and scepticism '' he voiced his concern without even a single hint of hate towards them.
Either he stripped his hate temporarily for the sake of my presence alone...or he might outgrow it. He held one of his medals in his hand, giving the impression of trying to hold on to something. Honestly I don't give a shit of what kind of past he's been through, all I care now is solving the situation we're in.
Agent.3:"He's right" she said before I looked at her once again but this time in curiosity.
Agent.3:"There's only one way to the plaza from here. Sealings and inklings will see all of them and they might be going to bring some heat because of what happened lately, and worst of all..."
wraith:'' The two squid wads that embody ignorance of inklings to max level of the unashamed lost fools, right?" I finished her sentence with my own kind of answer in a sarcastic tone as she only looked at me with a more accurate look on her face with a smile of how I described her entire kin with one sentence.
I think she thought the same thing after all. Can't really blame her since she lived there all her life with things that kept being a mess for some time. Even with her job as a pizza delivery girl. I wonder if she is more willing to bring some discounts on the table at some point if we finished the entire mission. Haha only time will give that answer~.
...then again I should bring some home with me along the way, and hopefully that there is some recipe on Zoe's ever expanding memory that will make the former chiefs back in my base have enough inspiration to be motivated again.
Still I need to find out how much stuff these ass wines have stolen back in Hellven, confiscate it back and handle it properly. I mean it's not like I needed it to create my machine in the first place since it demands the best and rarest parts with a bit of human genius.
I just want our dangerous past back in trustworthy hands, maybe deadf1sh can help with that. However I am not sure yet since she already knows so much about everything...maybe even Hellven. Wonder if she visited Hellven before, maybe in secret or as part of some public expedition. What if she knew about it from the get go..?
Hmm…I could come up with all theories in the world, but its all irrelavent since she has everything under her control, and the fact that she is not alive while having no expression it all still makes me gag and shiver of how creepy that was to me….fuck.
zoe/helmet:"Jack?" she called in private mode as my thoughts were stopped in not so I'll manoeuvre this time.
jack:"Hmm? Yes?"
zoe/helmet:'' Celine just got an idea, we talked through the phone because we didn't want the followers to know about it yet. Since we are their lords and everything, we need to stay in communication from now on. Because she also said that by any chance she might drop by in the future with her cousin. I would recommend that you stay put with her at least for support if she's going to join us on a mission. Future food for thought Just in case"
Jack: "Tell me about that idea of hers. it's not anymore shit on something that she wasn't expecting I hope"
Zoe/helmet:"hahaha~. don't worry is just something that's related to the octarians really~"
jack:"Oh...that's a relief actually. What is it anyway?"
Zoe/helmet:"That you would call the police to the plaza and have them being transported to the opposite side of inkopolis. That way we can make the sealings believe that they are going to be taken to custody. The captain will be ready to make a move if the idea is to your liking...so. Are we going to make the move or-?" she informed me as I just smiled.
jack:"I admire her devotion despite our fog play, I really didn't want her to feel all too mushy after this really. Should've held back a little when I got too close to here"
zoe/helmet:``You just like her too much, and I helped you do all the good work to make her at least feel special. The choice of the boy band is kinda off taste but hey! It worked"
jack:"hehe~. It's something I wanted to try for sometime before the whole extinction thing happened, now then. I think this idea of hers is good but I think we need some loyal help from the t.l.g." I suggested while seeing the chat screen of her phone on my visor before seeing the reply of the question.
I informed her that it will provide cover for every sealing that might be going to harm them, since they have support on me is already great on it's own, but having them at least with us along the police would surely leave them at some point. I know it might look like that they're going to be judged by the masses in the city but I think if they listen to what I say and play the part….the transportation will be both successful and would be completely out of sight. I then looked at Celine as I nodded to her idea before nodding back and put a thumbs up for mine as well, she then went to captain to talk him about the plan while I make my announcement to my followers and give them every single detail about the transportation and leading back to my base, tho I still haven't gave it a name.
Celine handles the two zap fishes. I contacted John and Becky to get and inform the t.l.g. of my next bidding before we have to make the transfer. We have to reach success if the plan and the route is effective for repeated daily processes.
Wraith:'' My fellow octarians! We have news on bringing you all to your new home, where the rest of your brethren are safe and sound with me. I ask you to lend me your ears, brothers and sisters, listen to my words and follow them, for Zoe and I will bring you back with us in hope with peace!" I called out to them as all of them were already looking at me with great interest before telling them everything about what's going to happen next.
They joyfully bowed to me and Zoe as if they had finally seen hope for a better place where no harm could come to them. I will bring them home, I must not fail….I also have to talk with our undead boss-fish. The coin has not returned but that's none of my concern now, I believe it will keep her safe as promised so I have to worry on what's going on right now, so far the status is slowly changing for the better and I have to keep going on this pace….this war just started and I already feel like I'm getting too deep in this shit, but I have to keep this up to get what want and I need. I hope all of us can make it in one piece.
My world keeps getting darker, but I do not surrender to the will of the dark maker.
He, she, or they will make my light brighter, for mine it will ignite the darkness but only with a little lighter.
I loop, I trick, I keep them wondering, as my enemy's of dark deception will fall to their own blunder.
For he comes the fox of phantom greedy trickster, that glows gold in the world of the dark pit of the un-fixer.
