fish out of water (human x splatoon)

chapter 12: The world knows

After many weeks and a few too many rewrites for my own liking, chapter 11 is here! How will the public react to Jeremy? What questions will they have? Will I ever have a good posting schedule? Find out most of these questions in chapter 11. Now grab your snack of choice and let the show begin.

10:00 am

Jeremy wakes up to the sound of Frye yelling at him. As Jeremy shoots his eyes open he sees that Frye is shaking him awake.

Frye: Wake up we got to go!

Jeremy: What? What's happening?

Frye: Here wear this!

Fyre chucks something at his face and runs off leaving Jeremy baffled and confused. Jeremy looks at what Frye had chucked at him and it was a well made suit. After a moment Jeremy pieces everything together and quickly checks the time.

Jeremy: 10am!? I got to be at the plaza at 12! I knew that falling asleep late would bite me later!

Jeremy quickly gets up and puts on the suit as fast as he could, he walks out of the room to see the trio waiting for him by the door.

Shiver: Are you ready?

Jeremy: I think so?

Shiver: Good, let's make sure your not late for the event.

Bigman: Here take this.

Bigman tosses a nutritional bar to Jeremy who catches it and opens it to take a bite.

Bigman: Can't have you going up there on a empty stomach.

Jeremy: Thanks, now lets get going.

Frye: Before we go I just want to warn you that we have a crowd outside that's been waiting outside to see you since 6am. We called some body guards in to make a way to the car but just expect some news crews and a lot of noise, got it?

Jeremy grabs the door handle and slowly turns it, the sound alerts the crowd outside and from the other side of the door Jeremy could here a roar from the crowd. Jeremy takes a deep breath and opens the door.

Jeremy is met with camera flashes and a small crowd of people screaming at the sight of the human. Not sure what to Jeremy puts on a smile and waves to everyone as he walks fast to the care with deep cut following quickly behind. Arm try to reach out and touch him but are stopped by the body guards who block them from the human. Jeremy walks faster and finally reaches the car and gets in. Shiver hops in the front seat and steps on the gas driving away fast as the crowd runs after them

The plaza
11:30am

The group make it to the plaza and see there is giant repurposed music stage with speakers on the corners and a podium right in the middle. On the podium are many microphones from all sorts of news channels. The group make their way backstage and find some snacks, waters, and a few body guards making sure no one gets in unless authorized. Against the stage is a crate full of spare Emre instruments incase any instruments are broken on stage. Shiver and Bigman go and get some snacks but Frye notices Jeremy is pacing the floor in the corner and isn't looking alright, he seems more pale, nervous, and shaky. Frye puts a arm on Jeremy's shoulder, he quickly reacts with a slight jump but puts on his best smile.
