It was pretty early in the afternoon in Inkopolis square. The clouds were covering the sun and a little chilly breeze flowed by as Judd and little Judd were standing next to each other and tallying up the numbers while two teams stood next to each other to see the results.

little Judd: *holds up a flag* *orange team wins*

The orange team jumped in joy together while the purple team groaned and gritted their teeth in anger. an Inkling girl on the purple team grabbed her tentacles and began pulling on them while the other two Inkling boys on the team looked over at their last and final teammate, an Inkling girl holding a Goo Tuber with long, squiggly tentacles that covered one of her eyes. one of the Inkling boys marched over to the Goo Tuber wielding Inkling girl and glared at her dead in the eye and pointed at her.

Inkling boy: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!

???:....

Inkling girl: uuuuugh!! that was my fifth loss in a row dammit!!

Inkling boy 2: If you weren't using that stupid Goo Tuber then we actually might've had a chance of winning!!

???:.I'm sorry....

just then, the Inklings heard a "hey!" get shouted at them and they turned around to see the orange team glaring at them while crossing their arms in a smug way.

O Inkling girl: if you actually look at the end results of the match that Goo Tuber girl actually got the most splats out of you guys.

P Inkling boy: she?!..no way!!

O Inkling girl: Mhm. so beat it, you sea salty squids.

The three purple Inklings stormed off and left the Goo Tuber girl alone as she clenched her weapon close to her chest. The Orange team walked up to her and gave her a tiny smile to make her feel better.

O Inkling girl: don't worry about them. salty squids are everywhere in this square.

???:..

O Inkling girl: what's your name?

Obsidian:....my...name is Obsidian.

O Inkling girl: Obsidian...*smiles* don't pay attention to what they said. you were awesome with that Goo Tuber.

O Inkling boy: exactly!

Obsidian:...t-thank you.

O Inkling girl: *giggles* no problem. But we're gonna get back to turfing so we can climb the ranks.

the Inklings waved at Obsidian and began to walk off, but just before they completely leave, the Inkling girl felt a very gentle tap on her shoulder, then turned around to see Obsidian giving her an embarrassed/adorable look.

O Inkling girl: hm?

Obsidian: u-um....may I ask you all a question?

O Inkling boy: sure. what's up?

Obsidian: do....you guys know where splat tower is?.....I'm new here...

O Inkling girl: oh! splat tower? that's easy.

The Inkling pointed outside of Inkopolis to a building in the far distance as Obsidian watched her and made sure to pay attention.

O Inkling girl: you see that building? that's splat tower. Most Inklings and Octolings come from there.

Obsidian: I see. thank you very much.

O Inkling girl: no prob.

O Inkling boy: take care.

Obsidian and the Orange squad parted ways, and Obsidian walked out of Inkopolis to get a better view of the building in the distance. she nodded to herself before transforming into her squid form and super jumping straight through the air towards splat tower to pass the time. While flying through the air, Obsidian turned back into her human form and landed on her feet but stumbled a bit because of how clumsy she can be at times. she looked at the whole tower, then at the welcome rug that was placed outside of the doors.
