The next morning, I woke up tired in Mt. Nantai, still in my little camp I setted up. I got up and went to Inkopolis plaza to see what I could do.

Marina: Let's see......where can I get money? Maybe I can do turf war, 3 told me about it back at the Octarian Café.

Sadly, the workers at the lobby told me that all turf wars and other modes were canceled due to an important event.

Marina: But why, don't you guys already have the electricity?!

Worker: Sorry ma'am but due to the kraken cup, the selection team rounds are the only ones available.

Marina: Wut?

Worker: The selection team rounds are for the teams who want to participate in the Kraken Cup. So, until the further noticed all normal turf wars and ranked battles are canceled. If you want to participate you need a team of four to enter.

Marina: Ok, thanks sir.

Worker: No problem.

I made my way out of the lobby looking to see if there was a quick way to get money. After some walking and thinking, I came across an old busted keyboard and a busted computer and it gave me an idea.

Marina: Hey, maybe I can fix them, make my own music, and people can pay me to hear my songs.

I grabbed the keyboard and the computer and ran back to Mt. Nantai.

Two hours later in Mt. Nantai.

I got back to my camp to fix the run down equipment and hoping to see Pearl again, but she wasn't there.

Marina: Alrighty then, let's get to work!

After some time, I was done fixing the both of the technological devices and was ready for phase two, make a song.

Marina: Ok, know I must find the right words and rhymes plus the notes for the song.

After some hours of writing notes, google searching words that rhyme with other words, and testing them, my first song "ebb and flow" was completed.

Marina: Alright, let's see how it sounds.

(A/N): Ebb and Flow demo down below.

Marina: Perfect! Now I just...*yawn*....have to make the finishing touches and take a rest.

I double checked the notes and rhymes, I made some adjustments, I checked the settings on my keyboard, and saved the demo on my computer. After that, I feel on the ground tired and took a nice nap.

Meanwhile at Pearl's apartment and in Pearl's POV.

I was still practicing some of my rapping skills to trying to make my vocal chords not brake anything.

Pearl: Ok, it's going, but I wonder how Marina is doing. Maybe I should go check on her to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble? Ah well, in the meantime let's continue practicing!

You guys may not know this, but before me and Marina started working together, my rapping skills weren't exactly that good. Here's a pic of one of my old verses, back before I knew anything about meter and rhymes:

I may have not known what I was doing, but I had heart. Anyway, I used some equipment to control vocal chords, but the equipment wasn't good enough. After some practicing, I decided to go back to Mt. Nantai to see if Marina was ok.

One trip to Mt. Nantai later.

When I got to Mt. Nantai, I heard some, in my opinion, very good music coming from where I found Marina.

Pearl: What's that music? I better go check it out.

When I reached the place where the music was coming from, I found a sleeping Marina in the ground.

Pearl; Yo, wake up sleepyhead!

Marina:*long yawn*..Um hi.
