Infestation in Inkopolis! IC

[Cephalobro]

Coral and Kelp both become their octopus form to superjump back to the boat, waiting for the others to join them.

Mirage and Hope shift to their respective cephalopod formes and Super Jump to the boat, as well, though Hope diverts abit to get Evelynn and that weird Salmonid beforehand.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn returnes to the hideout spot to find the Salmonid shot exactly where she left him and lets out a sigh of relief. The Salmonid boy gives her a timid smile and waves, and she flashes him a shy smile and waves back. She holds out her hand to help him up from his sitting position.
“Hey, sorry about that,” she says. “I think we’re all clear now. My name is Evelynn by the way,” she adds, realizing she never properly introduced herself.
“H-hi, thank you for that back there. I’m Prince Huchen… my dad is the one who keeps sending the Salmonids here. He’s the kind. Im so sorry about all of this… I’ve tried to warn him…”

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn frowns. “Wait… so your dad is the one behind this? And he sent his own son to war?”
Huchen blushes a little. “Well, to be fair, I guess I finally annoyed him a bit too much with my desperate pleas to call off the invasions… but he was already insane as it was, and my little sister is no better… I t-tried to save her, but she’s growing up to be just like him… and my uncle Commander Sockeye won’t do anything to stop it… but if I came back alive I think my family might kill me…”
Evelynn gasped. “Even your mom?!”
Huchen winced. “I don’t know, I never knew my mom. She died when I was young.”

(Lol what happened to meeting Evelynn? XD)

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn fell quiet for a moment before replying, “So did mine. My whole family did actually. I think I might be the only one of my kind left… the rest of us were hunted down. Into near-extinction, minus me.”

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn clears her throat. “Well, I should go check that the coast is clear-“
“Wait!” Huchen exclaims suddenly as Evelynn starts to turn. She turns back around. “Hm?”
Huchen takes a deep breath, panic in his haunted eyes.
“If I’m coming with you, if your going to keep me safe, then I never want to go back home. I want to leave my past behind me. I- I don’t really want to be Prince Huchen anymore… as far as I’m concerned Prince Huchen died tragically on the battlefield out there, at the merciless hands of a squid person. I want a new name. I want to be more like you… you’re cool.”

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn is startled. “Like… me? Trust me kid, you don’t want to have my life at all…” Her past haunts her just as much as Huchen’s does, though she hides it well. “But if it’s a new name you want, that I can do.” She studies him for a long moment, feeling a pang of pity and, oddly enough, a rush of affection for the Salmonid Prince. “Hm, okay, how abouuuuuuuuuut…. How about Sean?” [Pronounced: Shawn]
Huchen considers this. “Sean… Yeah, Sean! I like it!” Suddenly he hugs her, throwing her completely off-guard because she’s never been hugged before. Evelynn blushes hard, and Huchen- Sean- is blushing a bit too.
Evelynn nods. “Right… I should really go check that the coast is clear now.”
Huchen- Sean- nods too. “Okay, yeah, you’re right.”

(Oh okay. Well I was hoping Huchen/Sean could stay secret for now? To protect him?)

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Evelynn walks back out to the nearly-deserted battlefield, spotting the Hogs preparing to depart. She watches them closely; she is still incredibly curious about how they hijacked the mothership.

(I thought I wrote Hope going back to get Evelynn and Prince Huchin, then Super Jumping to the boat)
