#splatoon drabble

[superjumpintomyheart]

Been thinking a little bit about Eight reuniting with Iso Padre in Inkopolis Square since we can see him in the cafe in splat3. I'm imagining Eight chatting and walking into the cafe with Pearl and Marina, stopping by for a snack before they head in for some turf wars or ranked battles and all of a sudden she stops mid sentence when she spots the isopod sitting at the counter. It's impossible to mistake him for someone else with his signature black suit, and how many other giant isopods inhabit the surface anyways?

Eight- just to be sure- still asks stunned, "Iso Padre?"

He turned around to see who had called him and when he sees the octoling standing there he grins widely, "Young squire, is that you?"

Before Pearl and Marina can even ask Eight about who this interesting person is, she's running across the cafe to give him a hug, laughing as his multiple limbs embrace her. It filled her with such joy to see him here on the surface, in the heart of Inkopolis Square where he always dreamed of being. After they had defeated Commander Tartar and effectively freed the deep sea metro patrons, she worried about where the friends she made along the way had ended up- if somehow they remained trapped underground with no way out. Thankfully, it appeared that wasn't the case, as even someone like Iso Padre who had been on the metro for a long time was able to make it to where he desired to go.

"You made it! I'm so, so happy you're here, how long have you been in Inkopolis?" Eight asked, still holding onto to her dear friend.

"For some time now, although not terribly long. Once the tests stopped being required in the metro I figured it was my chance to follow the light you were chasing as well. Then I made my way here before I even knew were I was going, like it was calling me." He hummed thoughtfully.

She nodded against his chest, finally pulling away to look at him with a smile. In many ways thats what it had felt like for her too, leaving the underground world of octarian life with nothing but the clothes on her back and a heavenly melody in her head, letting instinct guide her. It seemed things always worked out when they trusted what their hearts yearned for.

"I'm so glad," she could almost feel tears beginning to well up in her eyes, overwhelmed with happiness and relief. "It's wonderful here, isn't it? Everything you ever thought it would be?"

Iso Padre chuckled and nodded, "And so much more. I have to say thank you for what you accomplished, Eight. If you hadn't come along I wouldn't be sitting here now, I'm forever grateful for the light you shined on the metro."

"No, I really should be thanking you, Iso Padre. You helped me so much on my journey to get here, with my memcakes and all the support you gave me. I was so thankful to have a friend to rely on."

"Then we both can share thanks for each other," he concluded, patting the octoling on the shoulder.

Eight is suddenly reminded of her friends she came with when she hears Marina coo "awww" from a few feet behind her. As much as she wants to be embarrassed by it, she instead waves the idols over to join them, excitedly introducing them to Iso Padre, "This is Pearl and Marina, you might know them as Off The Hook, but they helped me a ton with escaping the metro too."

"Allow me to extend my thanks to you girls as well, for taking care of Eight both back then and now," he says, offering one hand to shake.

Pearl takes it first, commenting, "No prob, we owe it to you as well for helping her out too. This whole thing was kind of a team effort, huh?"

The group agrees and settles down in the cafe to catch up on life and share stories of the deepsea metro, spending a few hours just talking and enjoying each others presence. From then on, Eight reserves a day of the week to meet up with Iso Padre at the cafe, to stay in touch and update each other on their lives on the surface. Occasionally when she's just heading in for turf war, she makes sure to stop by for a moment just to say hi and he wishes her good luck, and reminds her that no matter how many losses she has at least it will never be as bad as pushing that 8-ball down a narrow pathway again.

"The mem cakes weren't mine."

"What?" Marina picked her head up from her pillow.

"None of them were mine. They reminded me of things and I could write about them-" Eight paused to turn away. She didn't want to look. "-but none of them came from me. You said they came from already sanitized Octolings."

"I'm s-"

"Don't," Eight interrupted. "It's not your fault. I think I was lucky for that. I'm just different. I'll never remember and we just have to be ok with it."

I’d like to think that Neo 3 and the Captain are cousins but they have no clue until Neo tells the captain she has to go to inkopolis for a week because of family reasons [yearly reunion] and Captain’s like “wow what a coincidence. Me too” and Neo convinces them to let her tag along so they go together. They go by train but the atmosphere progressively gets heavier as neither of them discussed where they were going but they’re still heading in the same direction. The two of them assume they’re following the other until Captain leaves to pick up Eight and they [finally] part ways.

Then the reunion actually happens and they just

Octo Expansion lore for my Agents!!

This is just a rough outline for what happens to my Eight and Three during OE, I did try to keep it brief but- didn't do that to well lol- I plan to elaborate on certain moments more in later posts but anyone is free to ask any questions! (especially since I haven't proof read this lol)

So it begins just like how it does in game with OE, waking up, no memories with Cuttlefish yelling in his face. They go through that tutorial area without issue and end up at the metro station. They then approach Tartar (who is obviously not known as Tartar just- 'The telephone') who despite clearly just being some sort of talking phone, gives Eight bad vibes. Anyway "nice" talk, gets the CQ-80 and the two head for the first level/test. 

Eight's first encounter with a sanitized Octarian is that of pure confusion, cause like- clearly its an Octarian like him but also why are they green??? And hostile to boot?? He assumes its part of the test and rolls with it, clearing the level with ease. Cuttlefish makes his usual remarks during the level. After which the two head back onto the train only to be greeted by the sight of Three taking a nap (he got bored waiting on them finishing the test). Cuttlefish proceeds to smack Three on the head with his cane to wake him up. Three and Eight just kinda lock eyes for a moment, a very awkward moment before Three jumps to his feet surprised to see Eight. Cuttlefish (horridly) deescalates the situation. For the whole next line of tests theres an awkward (one sided on Three's part) tension between Three and Eight (Eight thinks he's just being weird). Eight is the only one taking part in the tests, which is kinda boring Three to death as he has to sit either on the train or watch Eight from the sidelines. On the train rides between test stations Eight tries to get Three to talk of which- Three at first doesn't wanna do. Eight is persistent however and just keeps rambling to Three, (Eight's inklish is very broken this early on it gets better as they keep going) but eventually by the end of the first line Three starts to talk back with Eight, much to the octolings delight. Cuttlefish also interjects here and there. Pearl and Marina first make contact right after Eight finishes the first line. They act pretty much the same as they do in game, same with Cuttlefish tbf. Three is in shock cause Holy shit it's that music duo is little sister is obsessed with. Eight is just surprised to hear new voices. So they keep going, Eight doing tests, OTH give advice, Three sulking he's bored, Cuttlefish failing at rapping and collect the thangs. Nothing major happens between the first line and collecting the third thang.

Eight and Three spend most of the time between stations kinda bonding?? Three explaining to Eight what the surface is like, Eight in awe of it all. Three also tries to help Eight recover some of his memories as the memcakes only help to a degree. They also spend time laughing at the messages between OTH and Cuttlefish. While their time isn't exactly pleasant Eight does end up having some fun during some tests, others are nightmares to complete. After colllected the third thang, like the previous they bring it back to the main station. When exiting the train Three notices something lying down on the ground by the- weird telephone thing. He grabs it, noticing its actually an employee model CQ-80 however before he can even think to tell Eight and Cuttlefish they call him over to help get the thang down off the train so he puts it in his pocket and kinda forgets about it. Eight goes through the next few tests but during the ride to one something unexpectedly goes wrong with the train, CQ Cumber informs them that there's been a malfunction and the train must return to the main station for repairs which may take a few hours. Initially the three of them just sit in the train car but after a few minutes Three gets up to start pacing, bored out his mind. The others notice this so Marina actually suggests they try and explore the rest of the metro while waiting but Cuttlefish dismisses the idea not wanting the pair to get lost. That's when Three remembers the CQ-80 he found which happens to have a map for the non train parts of the metro. So Cuttlefish relents letting the pair go off while he stays behind to make sure the train doesn't leave without them. Initially they have contact with Marina and Pearl who helps guide them with a hacked copy of the metro map (its mainly empty rooms or locked doors) but as they go deeper they end up losing the connection to Marina and Pearl. They contemplate turning back, getting bad vibes from the area they're in- there's paper files scattered everywhere, stains all over the place. It honestly stopped looking like a train station and more like an abandoned hospital. Right before turning back Eight notices a file a top a table, it looks so much cleaner than the rest- his curiosity gets the better of him as he picks it up to check. "10,005" stamped on the front, the pair check it- horrified to see a familiar face- a face Eight thought he had forgotten... His sister April with a big "SANITIZED" stamped over top. Three basically has to drag Eight back to the train as he's frozen from shock. Eight dropped the file along the way not realising till they got back.

Cuttlefish waves them down, the train is back up and running. Marina quizzes them on what happened after the disconnect but the two don't elaborate. They realise now something is very wrong with the metro but they don't wish to panic the others so Three quietly disappears off to investigate more while Eight continues with the tests. Telling the others Three just needed extra time to wander about. Every test finished leaves an uneasy feeling in Eights stomach- the closer he gets to the last thang the more sick he feels. He tries to fight as little of the sanitized Octarians as possible. Finally they receive the finally thang, they take it back the station. Three is not yet back but the telephone doesn't care, building up the "promised land" device and telling them to step inside. Cuttlefish rambles that "Three will find his own way back, he's a smart kid blah blah" as he then steps inside. Eight is hesitant considering the info he had learnt a little earlier- but everyone is encouraging him to get inside so against every fibre in him he does. The blender scene plays pretty similar to how it is in game, Marina contacting Three via the CQ-80 he has, him bursting through the roof and breaking the blender. Unlike game Three doesn't knock himself out but he does injure his leg, cut from the glass shards. Cuttlefish still encourages Eight to go on head without them, he'd stay and help Three back to his feet. Eight is reluctant to the leave the two but Three and Marina convince him to go. The escape is basically the same then the fight against sanitized Three. Well it's pretty similar to the game, just a bit more intense with Eight trying to not hurt Three but also stop and snap him out of it. Eight wins the fight, Three is left... Scarred. Eight is horrified feeling it's his fault somehow but he and Cuttlefish press on up and out- Carrying an unconscious Three between them. They finally reach the surface- Eight is mesmerised by it- but its cut short by OTH in their helicopters and Tartar revealing himself with the NILS statue- this fight goes how it does in game but there is more dialogue between all the characters which I'll elaborate on a later post- Anyway they win- End credits.

Post OE- Three helps Eight settle into living in Inkopolis along with Four while Three must now learn to deal with his partial sanitization.

Dumb ass idea I had, written out because I suck at art.

Camera focusing on Chippi, with inkblot academy behind them. There is an active turf war happening in the background.

“What’s this for again? Right, final project.” Chippi has the sneaky beanie and penguin bolero on.

“While I haven’t participated in any turf wars since high school, I do hold some aspects of it in high regard.”

“The camaraderie between teammates is very important, especially communication.”

Cut to chippo yelling at a teammate.

“It’s a boyah bomb, you have to boyah for it to work!”

“The strategic plays, always being aware of your surroundings..” Chippi’s eyes crinkle as if they are smiling.

Chippo jumps over a sniper shot before a gold dynamo slams down and splats them.

“The friendly competition between teams.”

Chippo is corned, backing up into a wall with a dry carbon roller deco and three enemies surrounding them. “I’m really sorry I told you to eat shell and die, I was just excited!”

“And why do you still watch it, especially matches with chip?” A voice asks from off camera.

“Same name.” Chippi shrugs. “I also find it funny how often they fail.”

here's the fic I was talking about last night :]

[crump-laude]

here’s something a little experimental for me, a second person POV fic about Captain 3 (x Reader) where she/they have a nightmare in the middle of the night y/n and pronouns are not used to refer to the POV/reader at all and I suppose it’s x reader, though it’s super imposable as anyone, I would think? i will tag it that this is unusual compared to the things I normally write but i’ve always had a soft spot for it I hope you enjoy this cringe ass work :3

Intruder ,, SplatVRAI AU ?

The Octoling was running for his life, cursing under his breath in a language his pursuers couldn't understand.

After months they spotted him. Stupid mistake that made him furious. But he had to keep his mind clear. Ink was flying past him, having him almost stumble and slip.He acted alone on instinct. Understanding where he is and how to get away. He had to be fast. He can't get caught now.

Some more ink hit Forzen at his shoulder. A hiss escaping his lips. How much more can he take? He wasn't sure.

But there it was. His escape route. An air vent of the facility. He had been using those to get around for a while. And once he reached one, he transformed into a small octopus, gliding through the vent gitters, quickly making his way through the air system.

He didn't quite understand what the Inklings were saying after he dropped in, due to his Inklish still being rusty, but it resulted in only one of them following him down the airvents and he was not going to start complaining about that.

While all that was happening, a sea urchin was starting to get a headache from the loud alarm sounds.

He had already secured all the chemicals and potions and was now trying to just enjoy his lunch. What else was he supposed to do? Darnold took a bite and in the same moment a loud clirring sound was echoing through his laboratory, causing him to chocke on his sandwich out of surprise.

He looked up in worry for whoever caused that sound aswell as his precious potions. And there was, inbetween the dangerous chemicals, an Octoling, clearly exhausted and partly splatted with ink.

The intruder, who most likely caused the alarm, seemed to have fallen unconscious. Darnold wasn't exactly sure what to do in this situation, but as he heard more sounds coming from the air vents, his instincts kicked in and he quickly picked the octopus ip and placed him in an empty barrel. And that not a second too soon. 

One of the Inklings hired for the facilities security jumped out of the vent, startling Darnold, having him curse under his breath.

"Be careful!! I accidentally spilled some acid that you don't want to end up in.", the Urchin warned, partly out of worry and partly trying to scare the security guard off and leaving him alone.

The Inkling froze in an instant and you could see the fear in his eyes. He clearly had seen or heard of other Inklings acid incidents.He wasn't going to make the same mistake as those did. 

"You— You haven't coincidentally seen an Octoling come out this way?"

Darnold gave a scoff and shook his head."No I have not. If he would've come out this way he would most likely be dissolving in the acid. And I have been busy cleaning up this mess." 

He made a small motion with his head towards the spilled potions. The Inkling gave a nod and audibly swallowed at the thought of seeing someone dissolve in these fluids spilled all over the floor.

And Darnold was a trusted member of the research facility with a high rank. He was not about to question the man more and instead just trusted his word, quickly jumping back into the air vent in his squid form, to search for the intruder somewhere else. Finally.

Darnold gave out a sigh of relief, taking the Octoling out of the barrel, assessing the injuries he might have sustained.

Some acid burns were apparent but not too bad that they'd leave behind anything but a scar once the intruder had recovered.
