The world will fade in red

Cool, not my problem. Already saved the world once.

Can’t a girl get a break around here?

🐻 "GRIZZCO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ITS QUEER EMPLOYEES" WRONG. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CISHET ONES EITHER.

BUT I PERSONALLY CARE. FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE, I WILL KISS ONE (1) GIRL FOR EVERY NOTE THIS POST GETS

[goldenrotations]

Big run is imminent

I am aware.

Incident Report:

Chum took the weapon from one of my crew mates in the second wave. This left us without a jet squelcher for the rest of the time. We have landed back in the splatlands and were told to report this incident to higher ups.

No injuries in the crew, however it seems we will be unable to retrieve the weapon. We failed to meet the quota due to the fact we still had all members present, so it didn’t get waived automatically.

Im calling for an appeal if possible. Thank you for your time

Good for her.

Any demotion caused your failure to meet quota has been waived. Your paychecks and ranks will reflect that you succeeded that shift.

So sorry about the inconvenience, she doesn’t mean any harm!

[goldenrotations]

damn.

I have not listened to enough off the hook because I’m definitely cooked.

Hopefully grizzco lets me explain.

[goldenrotations]

She huffed, “It’s not stupid. You just needed help. There’s no shame in that… You remember how I was after Kaia…” she smiled sadly, “I’m sorry I didn’t notice you were struggling, I should have paid more attention.”

There seems to be something causing a ruckus outside Atlas’s hospital room.

The words were muffled but there was definitely something along the lines of

‘Calm down, ma’am.’ and ‘I AM CALM!’

Yep. That was Roe for sure.

It was only 30 seconds later that the small inkling was standing in the doorway, tears in her eyes as she saw her brother for the first time…

“Oh… Atlas…” she mumbled under her breath.

[ @goldenrotations ]

He lifted his head as she came in, tears also welling in his eyes. "Roe...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He sniffled, pushing himself up from a laying position. "Don't...don't just stand there crying, silly. C'mere."

[goldenrotations]

She laughed, “Oh the spire of order… lovely.” She shook her head, “It’s a nice place, I think you’ll enjoy it. It was a lot easier than carrying all my mem cakes around like I did for a while.”

“Oh I plan to go back, I only went out to see if anyone would accept me being there… I… I really wasn’t expecting to be accepted with such open fins… Join me next time?” She tilted her head with a small smile.

[goldenrotations]

She opened her mouth to argue with that… but she shut it almost as quickly.

“I… I got you gifts… from the tribe I visited. I did a lot of trading and bartering for them.”

She slowly pushed a large paper bag towards her brother.

She didn’t hesitate to quickly make her way to her brother’s side.

“Atlas… if I knew… I’d never have left… I’m so sorry… I had no idea… I didn’t find that damn chat until you sent me the other text. I—“ she trailed off.

The fact that you were desperate enough to work at Splatsville is definitely what gave it away. You are like, the only employee I personally know that goes THIS FAR to try and work.

Like what the hell is wrong with you?

Hello Roe. What would be the proper proceedings for someone who is working at the Inkopolis Square location to work more shifts in Splatsville? Thank you.

. . . Cyclone, do you take me for an idiot?

Trust me, Splatsville is worse. You don’t want to deal with Zeppelin.

[a text lights up roe's phone]

hey. i dunno if you're in service range or not, but i'm real sorry. fucked myself up, and i'm still in the hospital.

...i hope you're not still mad at me.

- a

Atlas??? I’ve been waiting for you— you’re in the hospital?

Oh my cod… I’m so sorry… I’m on my way right now.

[goldenrotations]

. . .

I’ve been waiting in front of Grizzco for hours, surely Atlas would have come by by now… but he hasn’t…

It’s okay. It’s fine. I can wait. I can wait for as long as he needs… I just hope he likes the gift I brought home…

[goldenrotations]

“I… I think I need a little more time to decide my next step… I’m sure my family’s wondering where I went… and I… I probably should go make up with Atlas—“ she trailed off again. “Thank you so much Specter. I hope we can talk again soon. I’d like to one day be able to consider you a friend, if you’ll ever trust me with such a title.”

She got awkward for a moment, as if she got self conscious about what she was saying.

“Okay-! Bye-!” She chirped, before making an exit and jumping into her boat to head back to shore.

“Hello? Specter? I’m sorry to bother you…”

The small inkling spoke softly in salmonese.

“It’s Roe… from Grizzco… I wanted to talk to you, Lee told me it’d be a good time?”

[ @goldenrotations ]

There were a good few questions running through the mind of the estranged Goldie, all of which it didn't really plan to answer. Perhaps they'll be answered in the near future.

How did Roe find me?

Why did Lee say that it would be fun to talk to me?

Is this supposed to bother it?

It observed Roe with a narrow gaze, silent for too many seconds. A soft wind blew, ruffling its black clothing in the cool ocean wind. At first, a foreboding figure, but within seconds it forces itself to relax, leaning down and letting black ink softly run down its cheeks.

"It hasn't been that long, hasn't it? You consistently surprise me, Roe."

[goldenrotations]

She smiled softly at that. “There’s nothing I want to do more than respect the culture of the ones I’ve hurt so badly… I wish I knew better before… but what can I do now?” She paused, “I don’t want to go home… not for a little bit… Atlas and I had a fight… he was upset that I did that rescue mission without him… I had no idea he had stakes in it… Tammie was just so urgent about the situation that everything else slipped my mind. I barely remembered to tell my own partner what I was doing… and he punched me… in the eye…” she stopped herself.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have dumped that on you, I shouldn’t bother you with my family drama.”

“That’s… wonderful to hear… I’ve been so afraid of stepping on fins with this kind of request… I’ve been really scared of seeming ignorant and disrespectful…” she trailed off.

“Are you sure they won’t hate me—?” She spoke softly, her voice becoming weaker.
