Inkling life (1): The start of a change

Chapter 8: Cuddlefish fishy move

Slappy and Chrissy were now in Slappy's room, in the basement. Before talking, Chrissy took an hour-long shower in Slappy's personal bathroom in the basement. She had placed the flower on top of the showerhead, examining it. She didn't see anything unusual, the only problem is how it still smelled like lavender and that it hasn't died in over 15 years.

"So...I really don't know where to begin..." Slappy signed

"I guess I should start with my point of view about this whole situation...before landing in your basement our secret dome was found by the inkling government and my group sadly ended up separated..." She stated

"How many were you...?" He asked, curious and worry for them

"4...well...only 3, including me, escaped... an octoling friend of mine, Eric, is probably dead right now, he was caught when we raided a store..." She answered

"Am sorry...but what were you guys doing in there anyway?" He asked again

"To be honest nothing...we were just living there and going through life...Iv been living with them for like 10 years...but I didn't run to this town for no reason..." She said in a positive tone

"Why are you here then?" He asked, wondering why she is in Inkopolis

" Am looking for someone specific...Its name is-..." She couldn't finish her sentence, the entrance door upstairs was opened

Slappy's parents entered the house.

"Oh damn...My parents..." Slappy said, guilty of Chrissy's presence

"What do I do?!?" Chrissy asked, stressed out

"S-stay in my room...I'll go talk to my father and I'll call you up when they're ready...okay?" He stated before walking out of the room

----------------------------------------------

The Inkling government is leading the society around Chrissy, now that she is in Inkopolis. This government is led by an old man name Cuddlefish, he was the general of the great turf war that took place around 84 years ago.

"Stop messing with me! What have you guys found in this dome?! Did the mission work?" Cuddlefish asked the person on the other side of the phone with authority

"Yes, it did! The octoling that you manipulated led us to their dome! Sadly, no real info was hidden inside about Octavios, all we prevented is less robbery in the nearby towns by the group that was living in there..." Mark stated to his superior, knowing he may be in trouble for disappointing him

"Bring me that boy named Eric Please, I need to talk to him!" He asked Mark

"Of course!" Mark replied to the leader

Mark is simply a new inkling government soldier, he was only 16 years old but his parents died and since then he worked for who his parents worked for, the inkling government. He also went to school but only 1 week out of 2. Mark went to take the prisoner up from the base basement to the last floor, where the Cuddlefish office is.

"Here he is!" Mark said as he pushed Eric in front of Cuddlefish

Mark kept his gun lift up just in case.

"Sit please..." Cuddlefish asked the octoling

Eric settled on the chair, scared.

"Thank you for following our orders, I'll make sure you are treated well by the guards and give you better food" Cuddlefish bluntly stated
