Infestation in Inkopolis! IC

(Thank you!)

Sven looks at Kalamari Keith, quacking confusedly. She doesn't know why he's looking at her like that.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia watches from nearby, stealthily following both groups like the squi-ninja she is. {Interesting…} she murmurs to her sea butterfly In Morse code (she speaks in Morse. Thanks to Frankus for that idea!)

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral and Kelp finish explaining their story.

Coral: So, we fought that same group, who also tried to keep us underground as Octo Valley stumbled. They used the hypnotism tactic, which is a very dirty tactic to do.

Kelp: But we were in an army that my uncle trained and our desire to reach the surface helped us, we even let those who defected join us and live with us.

Coral: They were all Octarian, by the way.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Suddenly Cory flutters from Zia’s shoulder and floats past the Hogs’ faces and lands on Frankus’ nose.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

{Cory! What are you doing? Don’t blow my cover!!} hisses Zia in Morse. Cory hesitates and then slowly floats back to Zia’s side.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

ZIa follows the groups for a while longer (shes in the trees, well-camouflaged) before suddenly Cory darts off to investigate Kelp. Zia, alarmed, falls out of the tree but lands smoothly on her feet in front of them like a cat. Or a ninja. Or a ninja cat.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

{What did I tell you, Cory? I’m not going to talk to people…} Zia clicks in Morse code to her butterfly companion, who makes high pitched squeaking sounds back.

 

[Cephalobro]

Kelp sees a butterfly flying towards her.

Kelp: Look Coral, a cute butterfly came to say hello!

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia, who has the basic personality of a cute- if slightly depressed-butterfly, looks up as if noticing that her cover has been blown.

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral notices a figure on a tree branch.

Coral: Wait who is that? Looks like an Inkling, or is that person an Octoling?

Kelp: It's hard to tell.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia shyly waves, accepting her fate, and backflips out of the tree. Sean is mesmerized by Zia’s glittery hair.
Meanwhile, Evelynn glares suspiciously at Zia. Right from the start, the two girls did not like each other.

 

[Cephalobro]

Kelp asks, confused at the first combination of Inkling and Octoling she has seen, not sure what to call her.

Kelp: Who are you? And are you and Inkling or Octoling?

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia tries to speak imitating words she has heard them use, with Morse clicks scattered through her broken speech.
My -. .- -- . --.. .. .- I am a .. -. -.- - --- .-.. .. -. --.
{my name Zia I am a Inktoling}

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral tries to understand what Zee is trying to say.

Coral: I heard Zee, but I didn't quite get that part that you were trying to say you were.

Kelp: We're going to call you Zee, also, are you an Inktoling?

Coral: Inktolings were people we heard from folktales, but we never believed that they actually existed.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia nods vigorously and Cory flaps happily in confirmation.

 

[frankus]

"What in the name of macaroni and cheese was that?", cries Frankus.

"Some changling.", remarks Bootlegger Johnson.

"Man, we must be smoking some good stuff!', replies Ink Dogg.

"Ink Dogg! Stop taking a puff of your pipe!", remarks Inkura.

"I don't know what she is but let's look on

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia tries again. (I Zeeeeeee-aaaaaah}

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral: Oh! Your name is Zia! Got it.

 

[TurnItUpAnOctave]

Zia nods vigorously again, while eying the group and classifying what each of the hugs would do in this situation.
What -.-- --- ..- .-. / -. .- -- . ... ..--..
{What your names?}
