#SunshineLulu Talks

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

4 months ago:

“YOUR MOTHER IS GOING TO KRILL ME!!!” Lutarna shouted, “WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?”

“Look, you wanted help, I’m here to help,” Jr. huffed.

“WE COULD BE GONE FOR DAYS!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO WALK INTO,” Lutarna continued shouting, “YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON I WANT IN FRONT LINES IF ANYTHING HAPPENS.”

Jr. sighed.

“Grandpa found out about the project,” Jr. spoke.

Lutarna blinked.

“What?” Lutarna finally spoke.

“Grandpa found out about the project and told Sako to shut it down. I wanted to see you one last time,” Jr. sighed.

Tentacles drooping, Lutarna had a pain expression. She knew this would come sooner or later but she figured later than now. Scratching her tentacles, it took her a while to speak; Jr. crossing his arms in the process.

“Fine,” Lutarna finally sighed, “You can come. But no wandering off and no individual investigations.”

“Fair enough,” Jr. replied.

Coming over, Lutarna ruffled Jr. tentacles; getting a chuckle out of him.

“You’re curious like me. I don’t need you getting into things,” Lutarna chuckled.

“Yes Mom,” Jr. replied with sarcasm.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sako has done some crazy carp before but time travel?” Joey questioned.

“One of his, one purpose, turned into another by accident projects. Sako was trying to work on the big camera again and accident crossed some wire work and mechanics and well, found out how to time travel. We were asked to test things out after Sako tossing smaller objects through and pulling them back through; mostly cameras. Images showed things he knew were from years ago which gave him excitement to keep going,” Jr. explained, “Though Grandpa found out and doesn’t want the pass to be tampered with so he’s shutting things down.”

“How long have you been hopping?” Pixe asked.

“Few years now. I mostly just hang on turf wars, or around the metro to pester Mom,” Jr replied.

“Pester he says,” Lutarna joked.

“I’m surprised you allow this,” Lulu huffed, “And didn’t even tell me.”

“I was hesitant at first with him coming around, but he kept showing up so I gave in,” Lutarna sighed, “Though I set grown rules. No going to Gideon, no going to your aunt or other family. Them knowing could have major consequences. Only other person I know of that knows about him is T. You don’t say who you really are. If anybody asks, you lie.”

“Lulu would have probably bragged about her nephew if she knew,” Marcy chuckled.

“HEY!” Lulu huffed.

“Eh, she’s got a point. Gramps probably wouldn’t have been happy knowing either,” Joey commented.

“Yeah, Joey’s right. I doubt Grandpa would have kept his mouth shut too,” Marie replied, “And Callie would have been 20 million questions.”

“He’s from the future. I’m curious,” Callie squealed.

“My point,” Marie sighed.

“How did T find out?” Pixie questioned.

“I saw him on the karts. I know my uncle, he would have figured it out quick without me saying anything as mom was around that day, so I was just honest,” Jr. replied sheepishly as he scratched his cheek.

“Well, he’s here to help and we’ll probably need all the ink power we can get. Alright folks, tomorrow morning, we set out for Mars,” Joey commented.

“RIGHT CAPTAIN,” all The Squidbeaks and Jr. called out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You are still an overpacker,” Jr. joked.

“I don’t know how long we will be gone and I rather have as much as we need,” Lutarna replied.

Having come home, Lutarna went on a spree of packing things she though they needed; medical supplies, clothes, shoes, blankets, towels, etc.

Jr. shrugged before coming over to help. Folding things up and handing them to her, they filled a few suitcases up; both bouncing on the last one to make it shut.

“Have you ever been out in space,” Lutarna asked once done as they were heading downstairs.

“No, never. Grandpa was more interested in the deep sea base than exploring space. It’s only in the last year or so that Sako got Grandpa to think about it,” Jr. replied as he held onto Beethoven.

“So this will be a first for you. We didn’t go to far out when fighting Grizz. It was interesting. So many stars around us. But Mars. I don’t know what to expect,” Lutarna spoke as she started to make a meatloaf.

“Do you really think there are humans on Mars?” Jr asked.

Lutarna was quite for a moment before replying.

“I don’t know.”

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

Lulu was heading down to meet her sister at the cake parlor in the deep sea metro. Lutarna had asked her to visit once she was done with royal duties. Still wearing royal robes, many of the citizens would give bows or greetings to the young queen as she made her way to the parlor.

Upon arrival, Lutarna was in the back munching down on a large slice of chocolate ink cake; three fours of a cake Lutarna had ordered having already been eating.

"Hey," Lulu called out.

"Hey," Lutarna replied as she continued to munch on the cake.

Taking a seat and pulling the menu out, Lulu looked over what they were serving as a waitress came over.

"Anything her majesty would like?" the waiter asked.

"Uh, let me get the chocolate milkshake for now," Lulu replied.

Nodding, the waitress went to put in the order as Lulu noticed the almost gone cake.

"Okay, what's got you huffy to being like you are?" Lulu asked.

"She broke into the labs. She got into the records," Lutarna huffed; finishing off the slice before taking the last of the cake.

"Oh Carp! You for eel? When was this" Lulu asked shocked, "How much does she know?"

"A few days ago. And she knows everything. We got into a heated argument about it when I confronted her in the act," Lutarna sighed.

"And?" Lulu asked.

"She's pissed," Lutarna huffed, "Accused me of withholding information which I know I was but for good reason."

"How did she take finding out about who you were?" Lulu then asked after taking her shake from the waitress.

"Not good. Not good at all. I don't think she's adjusting to that information well even with Orca explaining things," Lutarna explained, continuing to eat, "I can understand that her whole entire existence just got flipped upside down, but now she's implying I'm wasting my potential being commander."

"You are in charge of an underground civilization and protector of the deep sea species that inhabits down here while also having made connections with another species that inhabits the depths and have establish trade and civil peace with them. You are literally one of the smartest people I know. How is that wasted potential?" Lulu questioned with an eyebrow raise as she sipped on her milkshake.

"I know. I feel like Obo had gotten to her head a bit too much and she thinks I should be the next "messiah" to all the fish folk," Lutarna replied with an eye roll, "You know, bringer of peace instead of letting them flounder with their silly ink game."

Lulu just snorted.

"So what now?" she then asked.

"I don't know. She's been going on about the human thing and it's been pushing my buttons. On and On about why I don't want to revive humans and why their bodies are gone," Lutarna sighed; pushing the plate away as the cake was gone.

"Hey, maybe ask Ao? He might pitch in a favor to get her off your back," Lulu suggested.

"Uhhh, I really don't want to involve Ao in this. Explaining everything to him might be a headache for him given he's already got T to deal with. Tossing another AI onto him along with my presence might be pushing it," Lutarna groaned.

"I mean, if all else fails, right?" Lulu shrugged.

"Ugh, maybe. If she gets on my nerves enough. That or I could just dismantle her to shut her up," Lutarna continued to groan.

Lulu just chuckled.

"Daisy would kill you if you did that," Lulu repled.

"I know, I know," Lutarna sighed.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

"I'm surprised you made time for Turf," Lutarna commented.

"Just cause I'm a mom now doesn't mean I don't make time for my own hobbies," Lulu huffed, "Besides, I'm not the one that's been procrastinating out here. Seriously, you can't hide the sunburns."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Lutarna huffed.

"Means what it sounds like. You already got the ring made. What's taking so long?" Lulu teased.

"I'M WORKING ON IT!!!" Lutarna shouted; face tinting in color in embarrassment.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

“Ata!!” Lu called out, rushing up and hugging Atarime, “How you been? It’s been so long!!! OMG, I have so much to tell you!”

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

Atarime: "I heard something about a... baby? Could someone explain to me what's going on?"

"Sssshooo, Keep it down!" Lulu remarked in a slight whine, "I'm pregnant with my fiance's child. We were working on wedding plans while my grandparents were away cause we wanted to wait on the wedding till they got back but we found out I'm pregnant a few weeks ago. So don't spread it around okay. Since you are here, would you like to come to the wedding when it does happen?"

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

"LULU." Tave ran into the room, Veronica tagging close behind. "I HEARD THERE WAS TALK OF A BABY??? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS."

Collin blinked as Lulu began to whine.

"Not so loud!!! I'm trying to keep it on the low tide. Yes, we're expecting. Just found out a few weeks ago," Lulu huffed, "It's mine and my fiance's."

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

@grandpa-cephalopods

There's a knock at Octavio's door. Outside the door standing in panic is Lulu in her royal kimono with the shell tiara on, NILS who looks like he's sweating bullets as this is first time jumping universes, CQ who is humming away, and in the back what looks to be Lutarna but a bit different.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAA, GRANDPA!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE HOME!!!” Lulu whined in panic.

As a fair skin hand grabbed onto Lulu, Lutarna was annoyed at her.

“I kept telling you it was a allergic reaction you were having. I told you to tell mom,” Lutarna huffed.

“AAAAAAA, I haven’t even come out to them yet about the engagement! We wanted to wait till Grandma and Grandpa got home,” Lulu whined.

“Yeah, and now look at the situation you are in,” CQ remarked.

NILS was just quite; always nervous when meeting new people.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

Rushing to the docks and shore line of Octo Valley, practically picking her hanfu up to run, Lulu was heading towards the commotion; octolings and octarians having gathered around to see what was going on.

“Queen Lulu!” A octarian guard spoke, “It was spotted a while ago but sadly it’s passed.”

Slowing down and standing near the enormous corpse, Lulu was catching her breath as she looked it over.

A dead Horrorboros, face torn in pieces, there were bite marks all over it’s body.

“It’s from the Cutter Clan. It’s tail is marked. Obvious work of the Fin Clan,” the guard remarked.

“Even amongst their own allies, there is fighting. Must they be so monstrous,” Lulu said shocked; shaking her head before looking towards the city.

“It’s the big run my lady. The Salmonids are more dangerous when the skies are red,” the guard spoke.

“I know this. Still, this...this is just cruel,” Lulu sighed.

“Hmm, must have come here to try and find safety amongst the rebels,” Sako spoke, arriving to see all the commotion, “They act like pirranahs during this time. Wooo, made this one into sushi.”

“I’m afraid there is other matters at hand,” the guard spoke up.

“And what is that?” Sako questioned; twirling with his mustache.

“It had a small fry with it,” the guard spoke

Looking at the guard, the two had shock and bewilderment on their faces.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“LULU! You are not seriously keeping it???” Lutarna huffed.

Bottle in hand, Lulu was feeding the horrorboros small fry supplementary milk.

“Tarts, it’s not different than raising Jamboree or Beethoven,” Lulu huffed.

“Small fry, Lulu! Small Fry! That turn into semi sized fish. That’s easy to handle. That is a Salmonid King small fry. Have you SEEN how big Horrorboroses get??? We also barely know anything about the Salmonid Kings for you to even try and raise one!!! Let alone, you have Seth to worry about; and the throne,” Lutarna argued.

“One extra mouth in the house is not going to do much! She need someone experienced to take care of her. It’s fine Tarts. I got this! Trust me!” Lulu retorted back, “I can take care of my son and I have taken care of my fish sons without any problem. I can take care of her too!”

Rubbing her temples, Lutarna groaned as she looked towards Collin on the couch; Seth sleeping in his lap as he petted Jamboree.

“I’m surprised you are allowing this,” Lutarna huffed.

Collin just shrugged.

“Both of you seemed experiences and besides, she has a point. I mean, if you were in her shoes, I doubt you would say no too. I mean, look at that face,” Collin remarked.

Sucking on the bottle and looking at Lutarna on command with those solid color eyes, Lutarna gave a snort. Crossing her arms and looking away, Collin made his point.

“Fine!! Lutarna sighed, “I’ll help if you need it.”

“Thank you,” Lulu hummed as she picked up the horrorboros small fry and started to nuzzle her nose.

“Who’s a cute little small fry! You are! Say who’s my Viola? You are!” Lulu hummed and cooed.

Flapping it’s fins, the horrorboros small fry squeaked before giving chirps at the affection.

Hand on her face as she shook he head, Lutarna grumbled, “Gids and T are not going to believe this one.”

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

Lulu, looking at hororboris, “I want one!”

Lutarna grumbling with her eyes shut, “NO!”

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

“Wahoo, we won!!!” Lulu exclaims.

“Nice. Well, I can say for one thing, it was a nice time with T. All the jokes was a nice bonding time. Though I’ll probably have to owe Gids a nice date as make up,” Lutarna chuckles.

“Come on! White Chocolate; cream color. Like who wasn’t going to win,” Collin laughs.

“Well, don’t know about you two, but I’m tuckered out for sweets for a while and it’s way past little man’s bed time,” Lulu chuckles.

“Yeah, we better get home. Still, do we get chocolate as a reward?” Collin.

Lulu and Lutarna laugh.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

“‘Surprised you brought him out here,” Lutarna remarked.

“Surprisingly he’s actually been calm the whole time. I think he likes all the lights. Say are you having fun my darling?” Lulu cooed.

Sitting in her lap, Seth was looking around; stretching a tentacle out when the boats came around.

“Think we should slide him some chocolate?” Lutarna questioned.

“He might be too young for that,” Lulu replied with a shrug.

“Fair. Don’t want to upset his system. Say who’s my cutest nephew? You are,” Lutarna cooed.

Looking at her, Seth wiggled a tentacle before looking around again.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

“Hehehe,” Collin chuckles.

“Quit laughing you,” Lulu chuckles.

“But it’s CREAM color,” Collin snickers.

“You are terrible,” Lulu laughs.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

“So Team Sweet right?” Lulu asked.

“Of course. Collin’s joining too right?” Lutarna replied.

“Yeah. Ugh, I haven’t played a splatfest in so long. It’s not fair,” Lulu huffed.

“Still got to wait for that baby,” Lutarna chuckled.

“Speaking of splatfest, did you hear?” Lulu questioned.

“Doc’s missing fax machine? Yeah, I heard about that. I might go over and see if they want to come our way and do splats here? Least get some snails,” Lutarna replied.

“Yeah, like, who would take the fax machine? It’s not that special. It just gives us the splatfest ideas,” Lulu huffed.

“Yeah, but some squids see it as some holy item or something. Either way, who ever swiped it and got away with it was some crazy bitch,” Lutarna sighed, “Hope they find it soon.”

“Yeah, really,” Lulu sighed.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

"You sure this is a good idea?" Lulu asked.

"Fish don't like change in weather. The waters will be too rough for them to surface unless the want to get dragged away. They would be stupid," Lutarna replied; looking at a map of the salmonid zones.

"I don't like the fact you are risking both my fiance's life and your's to do this,: Lulu huffed.

"Hey, it will be alright," Collin remarked.

Lulu just huffed.

"Just need the right storm," Lutarna commented.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

"So how did it go?" Lutarna asked.

"Your weren't kidding about him looking scrawny. I feel bad for the poor guy. I have. A feeling those goldies are keeping a heavy eye on him. He seemed really nervious," Collin replied.

Lutarna frowned.

"Thinking they were watching?" Lutarna questioned.

"I wouldn't be surprised. He said they could read the sign language so any communication is tricky," Collin remarked.

Clinching her fist, Lutarna huffed.

"Any move you make they will see it," Lulu spoke, "Getting him out of there is going to get tricky."

"Unless there is some way to distract them," Lutarna remarked.

"Like what?" Lulu questioned.

"Something that could make them sick?" Collin suggested.

"That or something they can't swim through...I got an idea but will need a day or two," Lutarna spoke before leaving g the room.

[sunshinelulusplatoon]

Lutarna walked into the Entra house looking tired. Lulu is on the couch grumbling a bit.

“I don’t want that,” she huffs.

Collin chuckles.

“Honey, you got to eat. I know the smell is a little off to you but it will be good for you and the squishy,” Collin hums.

Lulu huffs as she takes the plate of food.

Lutarna just chuckles as she flops onto the couch.

“You okay?” Collin asks as he notices her and the greenish spots on her.

“Yes and no,” she replies with a sigh.

“Waz up?” Collin questioned.

“So...there has been this human popping up on the maguro salmon run on some of the older stages. I confronted Ao on it and he explained the goldies have a pet human And he doesn’t look that great. Looks half starved. I feel bad for him,” Lutarna explained.

“And you haven’t done anything why?” Lulu asks as she grumbly eats her food.

“There’s goldies everywhere when he’s around. And I’m a common face on that turf. So are you. I wouldn’t be surprised if I try to swipe him, they will attack Ao. Why I haven’t done anything,” Lutarna sighs.

“Oh that sucks! Yeah, and most of our friends play over there too. So I bet all of our faces are common knowledge to those salmonids,” Lulu huffs.

“Yeah, so I don’t know what to do,” Lutarna sighs.

Collin could tell this was an issue for his future sister in law. Giving it some though, Collin had an idea.

“What if a non common face swiped him?” Collin brought up.

Breaking her out of though, Lutarna looked at him. Gears grinding, she caught on what he mean.

“That’s it!!! You go play salmon run, get to know him, and when things are quite, grab him and bring him here. We’ll nurse him back to health and inform Ao of the news,” Lutarna remarked as she sprang up and started shaking Collin’s hands.

“Heheh, glad I could be of help,” Collin chuckled.
